Great Advice

Letting go…when nothing else matters but the task at hand. Metallica’s song explained in their own words. A chart buster.

“Nothing Else Matters” a ballad about being honest with your feelings and expressing them. In a 2012 interview with The Village Voice, Hetfield spoke about the intention of the track, its meanings and how it came to be: “It was a song for myself in my room on tour when I was bumming out about being away from home. It’s quite amazing, it’s a true testament to honesty and exposing yourself, putting your real self out there, and taking the risk, taking a gamble that someone’s either going to step on your heart with spikes on or they’re going to put their heart right next to it, and you never know until you try. That solidified, I think, that we were doing the right thing, writing from the heart about what we felt, and you can’t go wrong that way.”

So many appearances and versions have carried this song to it’s height. Here’s one with the San Francisco Symphony.

From the movie Leap Year Anna Brady plans to travel to Dublin, Ireland to propose to her boyfriend Jeremy on February 29, leap day, because, according to Irish tradition, a man who receives a marriage proposal on a leap day must accept it.

Another example of how widespread Nothing Else Matters has become is this extract from the film.
