Nothing Else Matters: Metallica and Apocalyptica





This is one of the very few love songs of Metallica. According to James Hetfield (vocalist of Metallica), he wrote the song about a girlfriend he once had, but when he looks back at it, he can't remember why he wrote it. Now, Metallica just considers it a song about their fans, because "nothing else matters" but their fans. This mild music video is perfect for a soft song with simple and melodic pluckings and solo and blending vocals of James. This song was covered by "Apocalyptica". The covered version is not different than what they have been doing. Its a symphonic instrumental with no vocals, guitars or drums.





Lyrics:







So close no matter how far



Couldn't be much more from the heart



Forever trusting who we are



And nothing else matters





Never opened myself this way



Life is ours, we live it our way



All these words I don't just say



And nothing else matters





Trust I seek and I find in you



Every day for us something new



Open mind for a different view



And nothing else matters





Never cared for what they do



Never cared for what they know, whoa



But I know





So close no matter how far



Couldn't be much more from the heart



Forever trusting who we are



And nothing else matters





Never cared for what they do



Never cared for what they know, whoa



but I know





I never opened myself this way



Life is ours, we live it our way



All these words I don't just say



And nothing else matters





Trust I seek and I find in you



Every day for us something new



Open mind for a different view



And nothing else matters





Never cared for things they say



Never cared for games they play



I'd never cared for what they do



I'd never cared for what they know



And I know





Yeah!





So close no matter how far



Couldn't be much more from the heart



Forever trusting who we are



And nothing else matters
