'Nothing Else Matters' song lyrics by Metallica from The Black album
The Metallica song from the Black Album that everyone knows.
From black t-shit wearing bogans to wanna be guitarists learning the simply one handed picked intro to FM radio station listeners every where they know this song.
On its release in 1991, loud complaints came from long time Metallica fans, who were used to the 'severe' lyrical content of the first few Metallica ballads, did not appreciate the inclusion of an apparent love song.
Those fans name check Nothing Else Matters when accusing Metallica of selling out.
Funny that it's one of Metallica's most popular songs then eh?
Nothing Else Matters 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
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
But I know
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 say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters
