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
