Metallica og filosofi - om eksistensen i populærmusikken

Hva har metal-bandet Metallicas tekstunivers og filosofen Sokrates sin livsanskuelse og holdning til felles?
Spørsmålet tas opp i ei bok som har fått tittelen "Metallica and Philosophy - a crash course in brain surgery", og som undersøker og analyserer tekstene til vokalisten i Metallica, James Hetfield, og hva disse kan si oss om det å være menneske.


Metallica - 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

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

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
