Get Into My Ear: Nothing Else Matters by Metallica

Watch "Metallica - Nothing Else Matters [Official Music Video]" on YouTube

There are certain things in life that we don't need the opinion of other people to do or not to. I think that's the best advice I've ever had. So I guess it is safe to say that this song changed my life. That was a few years ago when I first started listening to metal ( best decision ever).

And now, I find myself having this song on repeat for two reasons:
1. As I interact with more and more people, I meet people who don't share my point of view and others may try to change me;
2. I have started having an interest in poetry ( typical of a Gemini) and for the life of me, I don't understand why the poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley reminds me of this song.

Favourite Lyrics

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

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

The whole song actually speaks to me. This is one of those songs that feels new each and every time I listen to it.
