Metallica: One (Official Music Video) 

In my opinion. This is the greatest Metallica song. Incomparable.

imagine that. scariest shit in the world, losing your arms, legs, voice, sight, and hearing holy fuck

My little boy is five years old and he is blind with cancer in his eyes, He loves music. I introduced him to heavy metal last night. I played him a good variety of songs from the many talented Musicians. This "One" song has been on repeat since per his request. He said, "Mom this is my new favorite song!".

My father in law was a Vietnam veteran...lost him ....my hero . Lost his movement, speech..,.🙏❤️💯 This song reminds me of him ....😥

my son died on May 24 2022 on his motorcycle. He was 37 and started listening to Metallica as quite a young man because I would be playing it. This was one of his top 10 Metallicafaves. RIP JOSHUA RAYNE TOLLIVER. you are eternally loved ❤️😢

Son: Hey dad, sing me a song from when you were young Me: DARKNESS, IMPRISONING ME!

It's May 2024, let's how many fans are listening to this!

If you are reading this and you are stressed about life I just want to assure you that everything will be ok

best music video ever made. Period.

This is the most powerful anti war song ever made, hands down

12 year old me : shit this, this is epic!! 41 year old me: shit this is still epic!!!!! it never gets old

''Landmine has taken my sight, taken my speech, taken my hearing, taken my arms, taken my legs, taken my soul, left me with life in hell.'' The lyrics are horrifying

Stop asking who's still listening, we never stop listening. Easily one of the most replayable songs of all time it never gets old.

I spent 8 months in a palative care ward with 6 to 12 months to live. That was 3 years ago

Mad respect to all those out there who are keeping this kind of music still alive .

Imagine some 13-14 years old kid listening to this song for the first time in the 80’s

RESPECT TO METALLICA. LEGENDS

Top 10 best Metal songs ever made. This shall echo through generations!

For those wondering, this music video uses excerpts from the movie "Johnny Got His Gun" Based on the book of the same name, the movie follows the story of Joe Bonham, a young man who was drafted into World War I. After being hit by an artillery shell, his face, legs, and arms were blown off. He can still think, reason, dream, and feel, but he can't speak, hear, see, or move. He has no idea where he is, when he is, or how long he's been like that. Imagine being trapped in your own body, with almost no way to interact with the outside world. Imagine being a prisoner, locked inside of your own mind. A minute in our world feels like a year to him. That's the horror he's experiencing.

This song especially fascinates me. It starts off calmly, like hope fading. Then there is an upswing that comes with fear and anger. But it ends with the silence that comes with death. It’s so good. One is one of the few metal pieces that you can listen to when you are happy or sad. A multifunctional masterpiece.

happy memorial day to all the men and women lost in war, may God bless their souls.

One of my favorites. Love the correlation with the novel "Johnny got his gun". Raises questions that need answered.

“He’s a product of your profession, not mine” gives me chills every time

LYRICS I can't remember anything Can't tell if this is true or a dream Deep down inside I feel to scream This terrible silence stops me Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That there's not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please, God, wake me Back in the womb it's much too real In pumps life that I must feel But can't look forward to reveal Look to the time when I'll live Fed through the tube that sticks in me Just like a wartime novelty Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please, God, wake me Now the world is gone, I'm just one Oh God, help me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please, God, help me Darkness imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell Landmine has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in hell

This is the only song that makes my cry. Yes, I'm an old big baby.

At 52 yo, I remember this albums release. I remember seeing the video on its release. Here it is 2024, sitting in my car on break watching it for millionth time and it still brings a tear to my eyes. Best music video ever imo. What a masterpiece.

gonna do a presentation about the history of this masterpiece of a song in class. Wish me luck folks

The line & I quote: "He's a product of your profession, not mine." has to be one of the coldest, cruelest, heartless lines ever uttered in a movie. Just another reason why this song and video is sooooooo FREAKN' AWESOME!!!

No barbeques or parties for me on this Memorial Day. Today is a day to honor the dead, to reflect on the horrors of war and all those who were sacrificed. Today is a day to feel pain, that is the only way to remember. This song is a work of art. Thank you for your service soldiers, you will not be forgotten.

I remember the first time my step dad played this song and played it a lot.

This isn’t just a “top metal song”. This is easily in the top 100 greatest songs ever made.

"Help me mother, im having a horrible nightmare and I cant wake up." That sent shivers down my spine.

Listening this song makes me feel better that i am alive God bless all of you 🙏♥️

even for 1988 We were not ready for how hard 4:29 still goes! Even today this is insane how good this is! Still in my top 5 greatest songs ever done

I wasn't a metal fan as a kid, but this song *blew me away* when I first heard it in 1989, at age 18.

In 1989 Metallica released the song 'One' and used clips from the 'Johnny Got His Gun' a 1971 American drama film written and directed by Dalton Trumbo based on his 1939 novel of the same name. Joe Bonham, a young American soldier hit by an artillery shell during World War I, lies in a hospital bed. He is a quadruple amputee who has also lost his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. He remains conscious and able to reason, but his wounds render him a prisoner in his own body. As he drifts between reality and fantasy, he remembers his old life with his family and girlfriend. He also forms a bond of sorts with a young nurse who senses his plight. Eventually, Joe tries to communicate with his doctors via Morse code by tapping his head, saying "help". He wishes for the Army to put him in a glass coffin in a freak show as a demonstration of the horrors of war. When told that his wish may be impossible to grant, he responds begging to be euthanized, repeatedly saying "kill me". He ultimately realizes that the Army cannot grant either wish, and will leave him in a state of living death. His sympathetic nurse attempts to euthanize him by clamping his breathing tube, but her supervisor stops her before Joe can succumb. Joe realizes that he will never be released from his state of entrapment and he is left alone, weakly chanting, "S.O.S. Help me."

“Everybody loves the soldiers until they come home and stop fighting.”

1895 and this song still hits hard 🙏

In other stories you would ask : "Does the hero survive at the end?" In this story you ask yourself : "Does the hero finally die at the end?"

2024 .. 12 36 am escuchando esta reliquia

Not a huge Metallica fan....but this is one of the hardest hitting songs of all times. The lyrics, music and video make this an absolute emotional masterpiece.

Thank you Metallica for making people aware of what soldiers go through.. In my opinion. this is the greatest Metallica song. Incomparable..

I was listening to backstreet boys and nsynch back in 2001. A friend of mine invited me over to his house and played this video for me on his PC. I was 14 then. It did something to me, and was never the same again. Metal became a way of life and through lifes ups and down these riffs are the true constant. They show sincere loyalty, always there for you to uplift you, or bring you down during your highs. There’s nothing like this and I’m fucking proud of being part of this nation without borders we’ve crafted for ourselves. \m/ horns up!

Omg course we are all here in 2024 this doesn't get old🤘🤘🤘

“Mother I’m having I nightmare and I can’t wake up”, Jesus, every time it brings tears to my eyes

My dad had some of his brains blown out in Vietnam and a metal plate in his head. Mom left when I was 10, she was a nurse. I used to listen to him cry regularly about all the men he saw slaughtered and having to pick up their body parts weeping because he didn’t know whose finger, whose arm, whose brain pieces to put in which bag to send home to the families. He cried ALL THE TIME He was drafted at 19 years old and paying his own way through college. I love this song and it helps because there are not a lot of people to talk to and they really don’t care.

Don’t ask what year it is. Just enjoy the damn song.

I am forever connected to this song and video. In the early 90's, I was in a severe car accident. I awoke a week later, alone, in a hospital bed, with hoses everywhere imaginable (and then some), neck brace, paddle burns, cast, stomach pump, heart monitor, staples, and various other life saving machines. This video was my first thought and I panicked. I tried to get out of the bed, but an army of nurses held me down while another put me back to sleep. A few months later, my best friends took me to the Black Album concert where I had my first celebrity encounter. Before the concert, I was standing on a staircase (where I was clearly NOT suppose to be) and Kirk walked by below. Instead of calling security, he smiled, winked, and waved at me. It felt like he knew what I'd been through and was happy that I'd survived and was able to be there that night. I know he didn't have a clue, but it was still that profound for me. Thank you, Kirk. At a time when I was suffering survivors guilt, your kind gestures to an insignificant girl made me feel welcomed back to the land of the living.

"Each man faces death by himself Alone" Sad But True.

Damn gets goosebombs after a while not listening to that song!

I am 40 years old ( and a hip hop head) and never heard a metal song in my life. This was deep, thought provoking and artistic. I just might have a new appreciation for a genre I never gave a chance. Amazing what happens when you step outside your comfort zone.

This song needs to be placed in a museum dedicated to the atrocity of war. Along with other pieces of timeless art, and film like Saving Private Ryan. And sealed for future generations.

HERE IN ODESSA TX IN MAY 2024 STILL ROCKING OUT TO THIS SONG. SEEN THEM LIVE IN ODESSA TX 2 TIMES AND BOTH TIMES WAS FRONT AND CENTER OF STAGE.

Absolutely phenomenal! 🌟 Always leaves me speechless! 😶

Whether you like this Metallica song or not, "Johnny's got his Gun" is a fantastic dramatization of the horror of war.

After really learning what this song was based off, the line "now the world is gone, I'm just one," really hits a lot harder

"He's the product of your profession, not mine" Cold as fuck 🥶

I NEED IT LOUDER

This isn’t a song. This is a message and has meaning. Greatest masterpiece ever written

“He’s a product of your profession… not mine” that gave me chills

That told a story.

Best Metallica song ever.

The energy is so liberating. People who don't listen this type of music will never understand. This song had aged like wine, it only became better.

"I need help! IM IN TERRIBLE TROUBLE AND I NEED HELP!" the way those words coincide with the rhythm of the guitars is just pure genius to me

I’ve known this song my whole life, and it’s still so awesome

Metallica's best songs ever

For the people who say Lars is a bad drummer - He played 'Kill Me' in Morse code with his bass pedal in the chorus part. Just like the injured soldier who had spasm all the time telling 'Kill me'. There lies his genius. The soldier had a 'one in a million chance'. The unlucky 'One' chance.

Prayers for James that he overcome the devil of addiction. No shame in getting help

This song will never die

This song especially fascinates me. It starts off calmly. Like hope fading. Then there is an upswing that comes with hatred and anger. But it ends with the silence that comes last with death. It is so good that it is one of the few metal pieces that you can listen to when you are happy or sad.

This music video is a pure masterpiece, the story being told by johnny got his gun and the music of one is a heart wreching with the finality of loss and sufferering from war. Its chilling

The original One!😮

this song makes everything better 🤘🏻

"Darkness imprisoning me all that i see absolute horror i cannot live i cannot die" Just Hits Different

Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!

There's no other metallica song that could come close to this.

Anyone in 2077? 😢

31 years exactly... January 22, 1989 Masterpiece of all times...

I can't remember anything Can't tell if this is true or dream Deep down inside I feel to scream This terrible silence stops me Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That there is not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me Back in the womb it's much too real In pumps life that I must feel But can't look forward to reveal Look to the time when I'll live Fed through the tube that sticks in me Just like a wartime novelty Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me Now the world is gone, I'm just one Oh God help me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, help me Darkness imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell Landmine has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in hell

What a beautiful opening🙏😫

God bless our veterans and those who lost their lives for our nation

I'm not a metal guy but this songs a masterpiece

To my uncle that died today, whom was like a father to me. The one who kept the rocker/metal spirit alive.

This song.... If you ever seen a baby strapped to tubes to live... 3 months old (RIP Sean Elliot), again my nephew, my Justin Kissifer strapped to machine til my sister got there because he was an organ donor. All the people with C-PTSD whether it's from war, or traumatic events... Means more than words

Love Metallica…i just turned 57 on the 2nd and still listening!❤🎉

General: Don't you have anything for him padre? Priest: He's a product of your profession... not mine.

The Stairway to Heaven of metal songs. Metallica crafted a damn masterpiece.

Greatest rock band of all time

Greatest song of all time ❤

As a kid I loved this song because it was metal. As a Veteran I love this song because it helps.

me listening to this when I was a kid in my dad’s car: this shi fire me listening to this as teenager: this shi fire me listening to this for the rest of my life: this shi fire

"For democracy, any man would give his only begotten son." Such a powerful line. I love this song so much.

"If i had arms, i could kill myself. If i had legs, i could run away. If i had a voice, i could talk and keep company to myself."

9 year old me. Begged my parents for this and Faith No More's album Epic for Xmas that year. They got me both plus Super Mario 3!

That final shot left a fucking pit in my stomach. Seeing him lying in the darkness, helpless, forgotten about. Nauseating.

Am I the only one who thinks those movie dialogues makes it better?
