As i mentioned in my Introduction, i love music, especially Rock. I don't know how and when i fell deeply in love with Rock but i can say i grew up with Rock. Maybe when i was a child, my hometown was far away from city, and my best friend at that moment was a radio, i listened to everything from that tiny radio and music was getting to be a part of my life, and this song was one of the first songs i used to hear too much and it also was the first song of Metallica i heard.
One reason i love this song because of its rhythm, kinda soft and easy to listen compared to with other songs of Metallica, but moreover it has a meaningful lyric and a whole romantic story behind.
It was a love story of James Hetfield - singer and rhythm guitarist of Matellica, he wrote this song while talking on the phone with his girlfriend when he was in a tour. Since he held his phone with one hand and other hand worked on his guitar to express the uncontrollable feeling.
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
but I know
James dedicated the lyrics to his girlfriend, indicating the bond, the distance and the rumor they shared when he had to travel around the world for tour was nothing because they were always close at hearts. James never wanted to put this song in the album because he had written for himself but once day Lars Ulrich, the drummer of Metallica, heard it by chance and.... we have a masterpiece.
I don't know how long that romance lasted but the song has now become a staple in Metallica's live performances, and has been dedicated to their fans.
To me, that song is not a song, it is also an encouragement, belief and hope. It got me through the tough time in my life. Just find a quiet place at night, light a candle, close my eyes and listen to this song and everything will be okay.
Forever trusting who I AM
and nothing else matters
Another cover version i really love from Apocalyptica, a band plays metal music on 4 cellos. Unique and totally different.

This is my assignment for American Culture class but i found out it is very interesting so i upload here to share with everyone.
What is your Six – Word Memoir??
Can you tell your life story in exactly six words??? This idea comes from very good novelist, Hemingway legend, once he was asked to write a full story in six words in a bar bet. And he responded “For sale: baby shoes, never worn”
In this spirit, for the past several years, two editor – Rachel Fershleiser and Larry Smith – from the storytelling site Smith Magazine invited writers “famous and obscure” to distill their own stories into exactly six- words.
It is over three years since they put their project up at www.smithmag.net. And now it has been up to 250,000 six-word memoirs on the site. Every day, every morning and they are definitely different.
The six – word memoir challenge is also a chance to define people as they want to see. Whatever, those tiny memoirs are sometimes sad, sometimes fun but always concise and memorable. It is a part of one’s real life.
Though those six-word memoirs come from famous people and obscure people but most of them are related to life experience: love, heartbreak, life and death, the moment of change, the moment of contrast, career, family…..
