“Still they try to break me” Anyone else get chills? I’ve known every word to this song since I can remember, but always the same beautiful in touch with my soul feeling it’s given to me every time I listen to it.❤️ Thank you, James. You’re the voice I’ve never had.🔥🤘🏼💜
The whole world will break you, if you let it. These lyrics just get progressively darker I'm describing life for a lot of people. A lot of people are dealt a bad hand and have to tend to how they feel every single day.
Have you heard people saying that sometimes the Major key sounds sad instead of happy? For me, this is the ultimate example. Literally half of this song can make you cry and the other half can make you headbang uncontrollably
just because they call themselves "Metallica" doesn't mean they have to play only metal, every music artist should try something else once in a while, that versatility shows how good and talented they are....
One of my favourite albums of Metallica. Such a great album - surprised people can't seem to appreciate it….so strange. how can you not love the music, lyrics, atmosphere, the melodies, double tracking, 2 guitars playing different rhythm, innovative drums. It's such a great sonic album.
I had to get older to appreciate it. When it came out in 1996 I hated it. But back then - like so many - I wanted yet another Black Album or Ride The Lightning...
Mama, they try and break me. The window burns to light the way back home A light that warms no matter where they've gone. They're off to find the hero of the day But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way? Still the window burns, time so slowly turns Someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames Do you feel your names? Do you hear your babies crying? Mama they try and break me Still they try and break me 'Scuse me while I tend to how I feel These things return to me that still seem real Now deservingly this easy chair But the rocking stops by wheels of despair Don't want your aid But the fist I've made for years won't hold or feel No I'm not all me So please excuse me while I tend to how I fell But now the dreams and waking screams that ever last through the night (echoed between James and Jason) So build the wall behind it crawl and hide until it's light Can you hear your babies crying now? Still the window burns Time so slowly turns And someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames, can't you feel your names? Can't you hear your babies crying? But now the dreams and waking screams that Ever last the night So build a wall behind it crawl And hide until it's light So can't you hear your babies crying now? Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try mama they try Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try Mama they try
This was the first album of theirs to come after I became a Metallica fan way back when. This song and album take me back to a cherished period of my life. Irreplaceable.
Because symphonic orchestra makes everything sounds better and on the other hand Metallica makes everything sounds better just listen spoken word by some old dude on Lulu 😁
You have to create an account to read it, but someone agrees! (Although I prefer ReLoad to Load. . . ) metalhammer.teamrock.com/features/2014-06-04/blog-why-load-is-metallica-s-last-truly-brilliant-album
actually after all is said and done, I really enjoy these songs. It gives their entire discography so much contrast that you can really find yourself understanding Metallica outside of the thrash context.
This is a song i always loved... I finally found it back... Im a big metallica fan but totally forgot this masterpiece 😍🥲 i am so emotional right now....
Me da nostalgia ver y recordar cuando MTV transmitia videos musicales en donde se podian ver joyas como esta. it is nostalgic to see and remember when MTV transmitted music videos where you could see jewels like this.
This album takes me back. Back to my freshman and sophomore years of college. With my first love. Driving around in that jeep rocking out to Metallica. Didn't even have a tape or cd player in the jeep so we had to use a boombox to listen to music! I know a lot of Metallica fans hate this song and this album, but it gets me in the chest for some reason. And it brought a lot of people to Metallica that hadn't listened to them before. Then they discovered they liked a lot of their older stuff too.
This isn't an insult or anything... I have kind of a sleeping problem and I need music to put me to sleep and this song is always the one to do it! Such a great rhythm and James' voice is just angelic, and the calm sections will do it in a heartbeat. Love this song, Metallica is the BEST!
I've never noticed it before, but this video perfectly fits the song. This young kid is searching for his "hero of the day", his great next big thing in everything. He looks for it in television, in sex, in alcohol and drugs, but doesn't find it. Wow, I feel like an idiot, lol
And then at the end I guess it's all too much and he just pukes.... Only to probably relive it the next day. It's like a bleak version of hell kind of. But at the same time he has a house and gets laid so he's doing better than me
@@bartekmartek3870 st anger is the sound of raw and stripped down metallica going through a rough transition. Every great band in history has a rough patch. You think "true" fans would stick by them through the rough times, but they turn their backs cause it doesn't sound like what THEY want metallica to sound like. Don't see anyone on here making music at all, let alone as long as metallica has
@@FreakinRican6969 Transition? Yeah like they went through a botched sex change and couldn't go back so they committed suicide. Yeah, st anger was a transition
From day one METALLICA had me. Till this day i grind my teeth with when i jam to METALLICA. They're the truth no doubt about that. I'm 46 and I've got them on my bucket list, just hope they play close enough to northern Alabama before i croke.
I saw an interview with James and Kirk talking about why they can't perform the Justice album live and the main reason seemed to be "what would Rob do? there's no bass on the album!" I was practically shouting GET JASON IN HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO! at the screen.
Detesto cuando me preguntan ¿Cuál es tu banda favorita?" y respondo MetallicA!! y luego me dicen "Pero esos son sólo tarros!".... les respondo que deben escuchar primero, entender la letra de la canción.. MetallicA me alegra el día, la noche, me da ánimo, me da todo :) me encantan!! Espero verlos nuevamente :´D
Yeah me too.. I seen posters of them from my cousin.. But this was the first song from them that I listened to way back in high school...I want to catch the music everytime they played on MTV😍
I believe in the next 20 years Load and Re-Load will be considered one of the best album in rock history, especially Load! Meanwhille is sooo underated.
Mama, they try and break me) The window burns to light the way back home A light that warms no matter where they've gone They're off to find the hero of the day But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way?
Love this video! So very artistic. The Load album had great artistic vision with the music. It made that album just come to life in a different way. Load is one of my favorite albums of theirs. Just beautiful.
NO! Let me guess, you where not "there" or "anywhere" when the middle finger ruled. The best part of this video is Lars dressed as a New Orleans pimp. METAL UP YOUR ASS!
If the best of Load and Reload were combined to make a single album you would still have people saying "Metallica has not made a good album since Puppets", but they would be mistaken. Some of the most personal, explorative, and best songs exist on these two records.
The true mark of any Rock, Heavy Rock, Heavy Metal Rock bands and/or singer/songwriters is how far they're prepared to vary their music and content, whilst still staying close to their original genre. Metallica will always be Metallica.
Seriously blows my mind how this song is still so underrated. I don’t understand how people hate this album, they clearly didn’t give it enough of a try
+kicubu lmao, The fckn Golden girls would be better than MTV...Degrassi degrassi degrassi and all the gayness they promote. The channel is dead !! cheers my friend.
hello! I am 15 years old and Metallica listen to for 10 years. Thank you to my dad that he showed me the first song. To this day, it is my favorite song! Metallica forever!
This right here is my favorite song! My dad told me stories about when I was 2, he'd drive me around in his Jeep playing this album and every time it got to the heavy parts I'd bang my head. Thanks to him, Metallica is and always will be my favorite band and inspiration! You guys are amazing! I'd love to hear this at your next concert! That'd make my life!

Thank you, James. You’re the voice I’ve never had.🔥🤘🏼💜
This song never fails to give me chills. The unnamed feeling it has is incredible
For sure 👍 always thought that it was me they're taking
Best lyric
People do try & break u
Every time…
The whole world will break you, if you let it. These lyrics just get progressively darker I'm describing life for a lot of people. A lot of people are dealt a bad hand and have to tend to how they feel every single day.
Now I really want to see Jason run a game show. He looks like he'd be a fucking legend at it.
Judging by his stage presence he would definitely kill it
If Weird Al could do "I lost on Jeapardy", Metallica sure as hell could do "I/We won on Jeopardy"😊
Might be his next job. He's lagging
Have you heard people saying that sometimes the Major key sounds sad instead of happy? For me, this is the ultimate example. Literally half of this song can make you cry and the other half can make you headbang uncontrollably
this song is SOOOOOO underrated
This coment is SOOOOO fad
@@felipegoncalves4051 fads come back around &noodles ain’t wrong
You are not even kidding.
One of my favorites
Agree 100%!!
just because they call themselves "Metallica" doesn't mean they have to play only metal, every music artist should try something else once in a while, that versatility shows how good and talented they are....
This is still metal, actually shitty one, for different category of people as it makes them more popular. Commercial dude
this is Hard Rock and it's not shitty, just typical for 90's...
itkojecockot The 90's rocked in music!
edgewayround the 80s were better, but this is great
+itkojecockot you nailed it right on the spot. doing different things show a band's/musician's versatility.
One of my favourite albums of Metallica. Such a great album - surprised people can't seem to appreciate it….so strange. how can you not love the music, lyrics, atmosphere, the melodies, double tracking, 2 guitars playing different rhythm, innovative drums. It's such a great sonic album.

It's always been one of my favorite albums by them as well. Grossly underappreciated.
I totally agree bro!
Same
I had to get older to appreciate it. When it came out in 1996 I hated it. But back then - like so many - I wanted yet another Black Album or Ride The Lightning...
Mama, they try and break me.
The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone.
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way?
Still the window burns, time so slowly turns
Someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your names?
Do you hear your babies crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me
'Scuse me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stops by wheels of despair
Don't want your aid
But the fist I've made for years won't hold or feel
No I'm not all me
So please excuse me while I tend to how I fell
But now the dreams and waking screams that ever last through the night (echoed between James and Jason)
So build the wall behind it crawl and hide until it's light
Can you hear your babies crying now?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames, can't you feel your names?
Can't you hear your babies crying?
But now the dreams and waking screams that
Ever last the night
So build a wall behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?

fuckin great lyrics! 😏/and not only this one from Load .. 🔥😎
@@jatheshadow What is the lyric about?
Ни хуя не понял. Набор - догадайся сам.
Its slowly becoming one of my favorite metallica song
Love their heavy stuff but this is one of my favorites. Great voice. One of my late sister's faves.
she lives on x
It gwta pretty heavy at the end. Kinda punk hardcore
2:21 No one says that this part, without taking into account the vocals, sounds like a song from Justice
Your pfp fits perfectly with this album
This was the first album of theirs to come after I became a Metallica fan way back when. This song and album take me back to a cherished period of my life. Irreplaceable.
almost the same .. 😏
Metallica all my life, forever and until the end
It makes me sad that this song is so under appreciated. Of all the Metallica songs out this is in my top 5 favorites.
...ну, на колыбельную не похоже, но в целом о детских проблемах ;-)...
The S&M version of this is so incredible.
Because symphonic orchestra makes everything sounds better and on the other hand Metallica makes everything sounds better just listen spoken word by some old dude on Lulu 😁
@@KingZongoput some respect on Lou Reed's name
“Mama they try to break me...” 🖤🖤🖤
Every damn day...
love this song n memories
Uma das melhores música do álbum load
haters gonna hate, but... I really love load and re-load!
i agree love it all on its own merits, gotta evolve!!!
Debi Keefe Thanks!

Load is a masterpiece. reload has some highlights.
My favorite too.

I love this song. It's my childhood and it returned to my adolescence in the right time to learn it in my guitar.
A real metallica fan loves all of Metallica's music
lulu, And st anger?????
@@JoelZ949 we don't talk about those albums
No
Except for L*l*
@@JoelZ949 honestly I love st anger but hate lulu
20 Años cumple esta canción!! Todavía recuerdo como si fuese ayer la primera vez que la escuché
i love Load and ReLoad because i like stuff thats different and out of style.
Try Lulu it's awesome on different level 👍👍👍
@@KingZongo I think lulu is the bane of every metallica fans existence.
This isn't an insult or anything... I have kind of a sleeping problem and I need music to put me to sleep and this song is always the one to do it! Such a great rhythm and James' voice is just angelic, and the calm sections will do it in a heartbeat. Love this song, Metallica is the BEST!
Great song off a great album.
“Get a Load of this!”
The drink is called Load.
The cowboy movie is called Load.
What a way to promote a single album.
well you know what Load album cover is made out of and what happened during drink AD
@VacantSpirit yeah this music video redefines overpromotion
This song Rules
Most of fans will kill me for this, but Load is my favourite album of Metallica.
+compas1010 nahhh, most of the hardcore fans of metallica doesn't know about computers, hahahaha; `cause they're old.
+compas1010 I'm with ya mate, Load and Justice For All are my favorites :)
+compas1010 The first three albums ofc, amazing albums :D
Well, I couldn't name a favourite album, but one of my favourite songs is St. Anger, so...
+compas1010 true metallica fans wont only fakes will in my opinion
my favorite metallica album is ReLoad because of Lowmans Lyric
exquisite
I've never noticed it before, but this video perfectly fits the song. This young kid is searching for his "hero of the day", his great next big thing in everything. He looks for it in television, in sex, in alcohol and drugs, but doesn't find it.
Wow, I feel like an idiot, lol
No no please don’t, it’s such a powerful message!!🤗
And then at the end I guess it's all too much and he just pukes.... Only to probably relive it the next day. It's like a bleak version of hell kind of. But at the same time he has a house and gets laid so he's doing better than me
at some point,all metallica is great, to us true metal heads
Robert Adams I'm not even a metal fan but I LOVE Metallica
Robert Adams me too
If we forget about St.anger... Then Metallica is great !

That's Right !
there will never be another "Metallica" love it while we have it, awesome group as always!
Load got me into metallica-ship back in the 90s. In retrospect I think it has probably been the most important album of my life. Thanks boys!
Best song ever by Metallica.!!!
Rob is an awesome awesome bassist and superbly talented .... But I miss the Metallica with Jason :( ... !!
+Farzin Rahman no robs the singer n lead guitarist of deep purple! especially known for his masterpice machinehead by bush!
that to me was and still is "The Metallica", with all due respect to Rob!

I've been looking for this song forever it's one of my favorites to play on guitar
Load and Kill Em All are probably my two favorite Metallica albums. Love it.
James's vocal at the max level
This song and King Nothing are among my all time favourites of any artist! Love this song!
La mejor canción de este album
I love this song. It’s my favourite one
my love for this band start with this song actually. It was a life-changing event
Yeah me too.. I seen posters of them from my cousin.. But this was the first song from them that I listened to way back in high school...I want to catch the music everytime they played on MTV😍
Me rompe 💔esta canción, buena 👍que es
It's amazing that such an easy opening riff can sound so awesome!
Masterpieces of metallica song
A Masterpiece 👌
I love this song.. Rock on METALLICA!! 🤘🤘🤘
my favorite load song. didnt appreciate it as a teenager, but now with kids of my own..
I believe in the next 20 years Load and Re-Load will be considered one of the best album in rock history, especially Load! Meanwhille is sooo underated.

great live
I love the Drums when it turns Metal it sounds so cool
The visuals, the songs, the effort, the talent, load/Reload is definitely one Metallicas bests.
Love this video! So very artistic. The Load album had great artistic vision with the music. It made that album just come to life in a different way. Load is one of my favorite albums of theirs. Just beautiful.
Beautiful Song
Another kick ass song that Metallica made from the talent these guys possess as a whole. Metallica is a brilliant example of American music Legends.
A great song, changing ryhms
metallica , obra prima ! PQP
Esse álbum é o terror dos Metaleiros chorões, que choraram quando a banda mudou o estilo nessa época, e foi para o Pop e Hard Rock
OMG !! The best chronicle !!
James, back then, could have easily been in a cowboy movie.
NO! Let me guess, you where not "there" or "anywhere" when the middle finger ruled. The best part of this video is Lars dressed as a New Orleans pimp. METAL UP YOUR ASS!
@@slavicworldorder shut the fuck up kid please
I'd love this song, stills rock on ''2022".
I genuinely want this played at my funeral
If the best of Load and Reload were combined to make a single album you would still have people saying "Metallica has not made a good album since Puppets", but they would be mistaken. Some of the most personal, explorative, and best songs exist on these two records.
Adoro Metallica, impossível ouvir sem pensar no Paulo Henrique!

Here because my mom said this is her favorite metallica song. It's actually pretty good, it's not really metal but I like it it's a chill song
LYRICS:
Mama, they try and break me
The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they’ve gone
They’re off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone’s wicked way?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
Mama, they try and break me
Still they try and break me
Excuse me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now, deservingly, this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair
Don’t want your aid
But the fist I make
For years can’t hold or feel
No, I’m not all me
So please excuse me while I tend to how I feel
But now the dreams and waking screams
That ever last the night
So build the wall, behind it crawl
And hide until it’s light
So can you hear your babies crying now?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Did you feel your names?
Did you hear your babies crying?
But now the dreams and waking screams
That ever last the night
So build a wall, behind it crawl
And hide until it’s light
So can’t you hear your babies crying now?
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try
Thank you!
