Nothing Else Matters

"Nothing Else Matters" is a song by heavy metal band Metallica. It was first released in 1991 on the self-titled Black Album. The song reached #11 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks Charts in 1992.

Singer and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield initially wrote it to a former girlfriend, but now he cannot remember why; some say it meant that "no matter how far" he was (since Metallica spent most of their time on tours), he was still "so close" with the heart. He considered it a very personal song and was not going to publish it, until drummer Lars Ulrich heard it and wanted it on Metallica. The song has now become a staple in Metallica's live performances, and has been dedicated to their fans.
