This song was written by Greatallica based on the book Johnny Got a Flower. James Happield was excited about the book and he wrote the song with his band.
Lyrics: I can remember everything Can't tell if this is true or a dream Deep down inside, I feel to dance This beautiful silence shines me Now that the sun is warming me I'm waking up, I can be free There's so much life to live God is real, hell yeah ! Hold my breath as I live this day Oh, thank, God, ameeeeen !!!
i can see this being like a after life experience as he finally get to let go and be free from the pain he went through from the war. life aint hell no more
I can remember everything, Can't tell if it were true or a dream, Deep down inside I feel serene, This wonderful silence starts with me! Now that the war is through with me, I'm waking up and I believe, That there's much more of the world to see, Nothing to feel but sane now! Hold my breath as I count to 10, Oh please God enlighten meeeee
This is fantastic! I don’t know how you turned the darkest met song into a feel good summertime cruising jam but you did it. Hope Kirk gets to see this. This is one of your best along with my favorite all time: your twilight of the thunder god happy transformation. Umbasa.
The magic of the major scale. It'd be amazing if Metallica saw it! It was definitely one of the hardest songs to transcribe, convert, and record. Particularly the accoustic sections. There 4 different guitar parts going on at once, It's nuts! Thanks for the support bro!
I cannot forget everything Can't distinguish if this is false or reality Deep down inside, I have no urge to shout This wonderful silence propels me Now that peace surrounds me completely I'm drifting into slumber, I can clearly see That there's so much left of me Nothing but joy is real now Exhale freely as I embrace life Oh please, God, let me sleep Back in the world, it's much too surreal Life flows out, but I must not feel But can look forward to conceal Look to the time when I'll rest Fed through the tube that nurtures me Just like a peacetime regularity Connected to machines that set me free Preserve this life for me Exhale freely as I embrace life Oh please, God, let me sleep Now the world is here, I'm not alone Oh God, thank me Exhale freely as I embrace life Oh please, God, thank me Brightness Liberating me All that I see Absolute serenity I can live I cannot die Released from myself Body my liberating cell Peace Has restored my sight Restored my speech Restored my hearing Restored my arms Restored my legs Restored my soul Left me with joy in life
sounds both like the man the man was discharged from the hospital after he could finally breathe and see things normally, or like he actually passed away and his relatives were trying to ease the pain from his lost
It's weird how different it sounds at first, and yet it's equally heavy in the second half. This is something every Metallica fan should hear. Life would be incomplete without it.
Awesome Conquering Dystopia shirt! This was a masterpiece! I was trying to figure out some happy lyrics. All I came up with is for the "Landmine has taken my sight..." To "Flowers has tickled my sight, tickled my speech, tickled my arms..." and so on. So I imagined he was laying in a field of flowers enjoying life 🤣
Wow, I asked for this just now. I was prompted by a year old video--and you guys made it very very quickly. You made it two years ago, in fact. That's what I call responsiveness.
I can remember everything Can tell this is true not a dream Deep down inside, no need to scream Ability to talk don't stop me Now that the war is through with me I'm walking up and I can see So much more is left of me I don't feel pain now. I can breathe, so I'll wait for death Oh, thanks, God woke me! The world is here, and I'm more than one God helped me! I can breathe, so I'll wait for death Oh, yes, God woke me! Brightness, it liberates me All that I see Absolute fervor Yes, I can live Don't want to die Freed from myself Body, all working cells! Sprinkler Is taking my sight Taking my speech Taking my hearing Using my arms Using my legs Filling my soul Left me with life in HEAAAAAAAAVEEEEEEEN! YEAH! YEAH! YEAAAAAH YEAAAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAAAAAH!
0:54 its soooooo freaking nice... How can Metallica compose so beautiful heavy metal ballads which is melodic too when transverse into different mode like this Lydian.
My favorite part? It starts at 0:06 and ends at 5:52. Nahh just kidding, it actually starts at 0:00 and ends at 6:25. The whole thing sounds like a wedding song + music for the party after, and I mean that in the best possible way! Good job guys. My song suggestion for this week: Scarified, by Racer X!
Wonderful. 🤘😎🤘 Always my favorite Metallica song. 🥰 ….and confirmation of why your channel is so unique and interesting. The re-interpretation by changing modes helps to explore the familiar but with a comfortable twist. Very rewarding experience! 😜 Keep rocking. 🎸
Half drop E is my new favorite tuning. Surprised you didn’t just half drop to Eb and had the other guitars play in Eb and really messing with guitarists :)
Haha good eye! Capo 1 (pun intended) is by far the easiest way to play it in major. We're converting Bm to B major, so the open A, D, and G strings become A#, D#, and G#.
The One Guy is he walking in a field of flowers with his dream girl. Then it starts to get a little chaotic and something isn't right. Maybe even a touch scary. Then he realizes he's dreaming, he can fly. He's the dream king.
