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 and break me
Mama, they try
Mama, they try...

#Metallica #HeroOfTheDay #Load
The older I get, the more I appreciate Load and Reload.
Same bro, two amazing underated albums
Same here but I've always loved both. They just get better and better with time
Nice 1 bud😎
extremely underrated albums
Me acuerdo cuando salió load tenía 16 años estaba furioso por el disco decía que era una mierda hoy con 40 me encanta
Hero Of The Day is a Top 10 Metallica song in my opinion.
Definitely not.
But a great song nonetheless.
@@vijaynair2403
All their songs are top ten
If you get me
@vijaynair2403 Definitely yes. Gtfo.
@@vijaynair2403it's top 3. It's super original for them. It doesn't sound the same as all their other songs. They actually branched out from basic chords on the guitar.
top five, or even three my guy
Nobody agrees with me, and I'm fine with it---- this is actually the most beautiful Metallica song.
I review this album on my channel if anyone is interested
Geno... what's with the self-defeating start to your comment?
How can you say that no one agrees with you, when no one gets the chance to?
Just say, "This is actually the most beautiful Metallica song." Who cares if no one agrees?
Even if EVERYONE disagreed with you... SO WHAT? *All that matters is that you like this song.*
And by the way... This song is one of my favorites. I agree with you. It IS a beautiful song.
Be well.
I do agree with you
Totally agree, bro!! 🤟😃🤘
agreed!
There are certain 90’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
I agree! It's like turning point metal...
I'm a 80's metalhead but the song that does that for me is Billy Joel's "This Is The Time". Every single time I hear it,the nostalgia of those time hit me hard.
Indeed. I discovered Metallica in the early 2000's and this is one of their best. Eerily, they seemed to have discovered movements like Hikikomori, incels, MGTOW, let rot, before all that stuff had a name, and this is it! I thought I had "discovered" loneliness before it was "on fashion", Metallica proved me wrong... 😝☠
This song is for my husband that passed away 15 years ago, he was my hero 💙 love and miss you Dwight
I'm so sorry Charlotte!
RIP
RIP
I'm sorry for your loss
Aww, That's sweer!
I think the music video shows that the guy is the "Hero of the Day" because he doesn't truly give up. He lives poorly and he doesn't really have anyone that cares for him, and the girl that he has come to his apartment leaves right away rather than staying. He's not happy, and at the end he does try to kill himself, but ultimately he decides to stop. He's the Hero of the Day, even if no one realizes what he's going through.
I hope things are going better for you now.
@@joannezip1 lol I’m pretty sure he’s fine. He was just explaining the video
I get this feeling that Frantic guy is the same one as this, just you know, some years later...
No parents... what he knows about life...
😢 😔
.
Hey!!! People!!!!! Stop been a bunch of stupidmfkrs and TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN!!!
.
Today is
March 30rh 2021
In the middle of a pandemic chaos
Do you know where they are!!!???
Thank you! Great point!
I’ve said it a million times before and I’ll say it a million times again; Load and ReLoad were James’s best vocal performances of his career. Both albums are so damn good.
Clean vocals? Probably.
But not when it comes to distortion and screaming - he was way better at that in his 20s.
Yeah dude I agree outlaw torn, and bleeding me are some of my favourite songs vocally from james, liked garage Inc vocally alot too.
James vocals were amazing on this album... had never heard anything like it. He's my hero
Easily Metallica's weakest 2 albums. People are weird 🤪
You have perfect argument he was evolving into an incredible singer!
This song was played nonstop on the radio back in 96 and 97. At the time, most people overlooked this masterpiece. Now, more than 25 years later, it needs to be on the radio again. This is an amazing song -possibly their best one ever.
Yes, I heard this song in my mom's Ford Escort on the way to Chicago Museum in August of 1996. Of course I was listening to it on my Walkman 😂😂😂
@@morbidcorpse5954 were walkmans cheap back then? sounds like everyone and their mother used it from the 80s into 90s
Really? I remember it, and Load in general being a huge hit back then
Wait, there's still radio?
I was a fan from the early days, and this may be favorite Metallica song. Purists poo poo it, but I am a purist,and I like it.
This is the most underrated song I've ever heard. It's too amazing yet it's overshadowed by their other popular songs.
This has been one of my top two Metallica songs forever. Its so fucking good. This and Fade to Black. Theres many others. But this is so real & so good.
+11bravo1789 same here!!! #3 all nightmare long haha
This song is AMAZING!
I never liked Metallica , but this song is one of my favourite ones , is perfect .
sure
41 years old, and still Metallica brings me comfort no matter how I feel
Michael
Class of 98 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Agreed. If anything at 42, I find Metallica much more relatable.
53 and still think they’re the greatest rock band!
Well said! Class of '81 here and right now their music soothes me like no other....
Nobody appriciates James clean vocal ..... Its one of the best.
James' harsh vocals are cool but metallica has without doubt the best ballads out there with james' clean vocals
I appreciate it... especially since he sounds a lot like Weird Al through most of the song. :-)
He has a cool yet sexy voice. Never realized until this song. One of my favorite rock vocals!
Billy Batson Huh, I can kinda here that.... Kinda sounds like Elvis st the start though lol Probably just me though
lolondd I fucking love James voice whatever way he uses it
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
Anyone else feel this is one of the greatest songs of the 90’s from any band?
I do! I think it's a masterpiece
My fave Metallica song and yes, imo one of the best coming out of the glorious 90's 👍🏻👍🏻
no
Fade to black is the master peace
I grew up on Metallica back in the 80's and didn't care for anything they did after the Black album, but the older I get the more I can appreciate this album. It's solid.
Excuse me while I tend to how I feel, these things return to me that still seem real......powerful lyrics❤
I remember everyone hating on this song and this album because it was “softer” than other albums but I always thought that wrong. I’m glad as we’re getting older it’s more appreciated
People are stupid.
That opening riff..... I could listen to it on loop for hours
🎶🎶🎶🎸🎶🎶🎶
It is very soothing
likewise. 🤘
Written by Kirk
It's pure ear heroin
Learn it. It is easy to play.
"...please excuse me while I tend to how I feel" has been a way to describe my person since I heard that for the first time. Its truly an amazing song to me.
yup
It makes me think of Hets recent rehab break
yes it damn is ! great lyrics right here !
thx for mentioning it!
Someone in 2024, listening to this huge massive song by the band Metallica and pure NOSTALGIA...⚡🔥❤️🔥
It's 5:45a.m. here, and I just listen to this great song again, It's one my favorite, Long Live Metallica!
Here here
🤘🤘
…
Seeing "nostalgia" in reference to this song makes me feel absolutely ancient. I remember it like it was literally last month. I was a fresh faced, full eye browed (if you know, you know 💔🥱🤦🏻♀️), no gray hair havin 9th grader and Blockbuster was promoting the albums, my friends were getting licenses, the weed was plentiful, the Malboro Reds nowhere close to hurting us yet. Grasping on to every last second of sunlight because we were just so damned happy to spend the days jamming out with eachother and making memories. Sadly, most of my friends have passed far too soon, but us remaining tune-a-holics carry them during each song, especially this first bangin' a$$ hit here, carrying with every bit of life, just like it was last month. Much love to you all out there 😔🥰🤘🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼
Remember the superhero vid to this
Me . Would you marry me ?? 😂😂😂 Lol🤣
Why do hardcore Metallica fans find this song mediocre/insignificant/not worth mentioning? Every time I tell them this is my favourite Metallica song, I just get a shake of the head in return. I don't understand it! Why do people fail to see the greatness of this song? 20 years since its release it still gives me goose bumps when listening to it.
It's probably because it's not a thrash song or something stupid like that
Wack Pen Tapper But if that is the criteria for what is considered "good" metal, then what does that say about Metallica fans? This is seriously making me so depressed. I used to be a metal head, and now I realise I have nothing in common anymore with these people.
cauze tossers have this strange sense of "scene" it has to be categorised or its not worthy. i love punk. i love hiphop metal i dont give a fuck. whatever this is called this is called a good song. oh well . the more they box themselves in. trying to be hardcore. the more music they miss out on spread over more genres than just hardcoooooore metal. who cares .. a good tracks a good track
+Norvegan Light
I love this song too and I get the same negative response from hardcore Metallica fans when I mention I like it. I really don't understand it. It's a great song.
People tend to dislike this era of Metallica because it's more popular to do so. They forget to listen without comparing to prior albums. I can understand being a bigger fan of their earlier work (which I am) but denying the other portion of the catalogue to such extremes is messed up. I always seem to come back to this song.
Anyone on here that has been thru hard times..... you made it thru to the other side....God speed with love and peace....
This song has so much meaning to me. I've lost my mother at a young age, I've been struggling with severe depression and even tried to commit suicide. Every time I hear this song, knowing what I've been through, I feel myself the hero of the day, the struggle, the lack of self-worth, every day is a challenge to me, just getting out of bed and taking a shower and going to work for me is an achievement in of itself...life sucks when you have depression :(
I'm 43. Lost my mom AND dad in the last year. I feel you 🖤
I hope you're doing ok today...
@@Monikamusic02official Thank you for your thoughts. It has been better, managed to use work as a means to raise my self-esteem a little bit and work on my shortcomings. I've received lots of support from friends and family. Sounds like a stupid cliché, but it DOES get better with time. Thank you again *hug*
Oh hey, l struggle with depression too. I know what you are going through and please believe me that l know exactly how you feel and it is one of the worst feelings anyone can ever have. Most people do not understand it. Hardest part is not having anyone that l can talk too. And how cruel some people are. Take care and God bless you.
@@poofartass I'm so glad to hear you are doing better! I was wondering!
90's teen age life...best world possible
the 90s are the best years of music…The best rap, Kurt et al, this stuff…
there is no reason to not give thumbs up for top comment
meshugeah nice comment, i'll give a thumb up.
cheers my friend
I miss those days so much!
... To go from writing songs like Blackened and To Live is to Let Die to this song, Mama Said, and Low Man's Lyric show how talented this band is.
yepe ! and stuff from Load /Reload , tho not not only shows James as a great lyricist as well! 🔥
Soon everyone will know exactly what all of Metallica's songs are about. And how most of them are even deeper than anyone can possibly imagine.
I heard that this song is about how kids look up to their parents but their parents aren’t there for them am I right?
You're correct 💯.
Sooner than anyone even realizes.
Shaman Durek gives them A LOT of credit for the depth
20 yrs already....I remember standing for a couple hours in line to pick up Load at 17yrs old. Time flies by way too fast.
It was one of my first cds as a 10 year old getting my first boom box for Christmas
Same here bro, one of my first cds at 12 yrs old, even I'd already had some tapes of them. Time flyes.
vigilanteghost i got death magnetic today
Did any of you have the opportunity to camp out at the local concert ticket distributor for the best possible seats for a show? Great times...
+Ben Mayo I won mine off the radio floor seats 😉😉
The best song off of Load. It just builds and builds.
Dhere/s no such thing as "off of."
Ryan Oster so build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it’s light...
Words to live by
Ryan Oster ..really its one of their best overall ,in my opinion..it just came off one of their worse albums..everything after Justice wasn't worth shit..💩
Definitely. I've loved this song for years and your description is just perfect, it builds and builds and...... Delivers.
yes...it builds n builds n then of off loads...😵😆😆😆👏👍
This is the song that made me a Metallica fan. Not just that it introduced me to metal and grunge bands. I was a teenager who just bought this random Metallica album along with 4 other cassettes that came to the audio shop. I didn't know anything about Metallica at that time. But this song along with 'until it sleeps' which were together in the albim just surprised me and I kept listening to this on repeat. It's a heavily underrated song as even some Metallica fans are unaware of this gem.
Hero of the day ^
Load and Reload are some of the most underrated albums by Metallica
I review this album on my channel if anyone is interested
Whos here 2024?
Dont asked us were already gone..
Litterally anyone who clicks on the video in the 365 days in a year. Why is this so special? I see this exact comment everywhere
A lot of people
🙋🏾♂️
No one cares when you listen
Why can't Metallica play this song more live, this song kicks ass.
AT LEAST YOUVE FUCKIN SEEN THEM LIVE, NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Damon Stengel
NO I WANNA SEE THEM LIVE TOO SHUT THE FUCK UP
***** YEAH, THEY'RE FUCKING AWESOME. THEY'RE GREAT LIVE. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP.
I would it too, but without Newsted is not the same :/
Maximilian Derviskadic While Newsted was the better performer, Trujillo is, in my opinion, the better bassist.
Load is a great album.
Criminally underrated.
and reload ofc
There’s no old Metallica, there’s no new Metallica, there is only METALLICA!
Yap.
Finally some on said it right only Metallica...
20 years, I was in high school when mtv actually played music videos, man time files.
+toology55 Man I got reminded of my high school days too...
love this song hero of the day👍😘😎☺😊😀😁😂😃
They played Metallica yesterday on our local classic rock station. I shit! This aint classic yet, is it? Am I that old?
toology55 Headbangers Ball with VJ David Alan "Riki" Rachtman
grimesjon1 Depends. Ive been listening since I was 10 in '88. I know I'm gettin old. But good music never gets old.
truely an underrated song. Musicians will understand
I really like Jame's voice in this era. Has a really good rasp to it and he hits the notes well with the rasp
Why u think rasp…. He was goin thru it…. We all been there 1 way or another just Rare to see a human being willing to tell u how it is in those times….
Load is and will always be one of my favourite albums. The lyrics on this album are great
One of the most underrated song.
Not a single day goes by since 1996 that I don't listen this song.
It has always been the soundtrack of every moment in which I need a hug, to be understood, to isolate myself from the world.
If you too often listen this song, then probably, like me, you belong to a world that no longer exists.
This is one of my favorite Metallica songs.. Just the FEEL of it!
Takes me back to hanging out in my neon green bedroom with all my music posters on the wall, and watching music videos when I should be doing my homework.
@Large Coke 😆😆
Mine was neon purple 🤘🏻😆
That's literally what I'm doing rn!
🤘 with vodka
I had dark green. Load and reload, stone temple pilots best hits, avenged sevenfold city of evil were my fucking shits man
This is one of the songs that gets better every time you listen to it.
By far my favorite Metallica video, mostly because they made it about me.
I only heard this on radio; on the road at the time… it helped me survive, too.
One of my favorite guitar intros of all time.
dire straights money for nothing for me....but i love Metallica much more
Yeah, how did Mark Knopfler get his guitar to sound like a bunch of sythesizers and Sting? We may never know.
If this exact intro played on my stairway to heaven I wouldn't hate the on it...!
listen to hold me, Fleetwood Mac, sounds very similar-just the guitar riff
sean dunlop nope
Anyone listening to this have a damn good day!🙏🏻🤘🏻💯 i was born in 92’ and my dad took me to see metallica in darien lake NY 4 my first real concert in 2005… Mom was pissed i drove the rest of the way home off the thruway bc dad was sauced….. LOVE MY OLD MAN & LONG LOVE METALLICA!🤘🏻💯
For some undefined reason, this is one of my favorites. Out of ALL their Albums.
CUZ it FUCKIIIING SLAAAAAAAAPS MAN! holy fuckin shit!
It's 6 AM at the park and some old dude just got all geared up in his hockey stuff and put this on blasting while he skated around bashing pucks. Then he put on Pantera 5 minutes alone. Sweetest dog walk I've had in a while
One of my favorite songs from Load. Such an underrated album.
Lost my virginity listening to that album. Unforgiven II. Hahaha
@@damianwirth2313 lol
The break down in this song is awesome
My daughter 12 yrs ask me today " daddy do you like Metallica?" I'm so proud... Feeling the Hero of the day!
This song literally brings tears to my eyes bringing me back to being 15 years old just learning how to play guitar in my bedroom.
We didn't live the most financially stable life growing up, and Metallica ALWAYS brought peace and comfort to my mind in a way that I can't even express enough gratitude for. So many great and nostalgic memories through some dark times. I will always be grateful to have had music in my life, and Metallica had a huge influence on me to play guitar growing up.
P.S. I sit here writing this comment with the very same guitar I learned a ton of their songs on in my lap at this very moment haha :)
Beautiful story, bro. Glad you are still going strong. Blessings
@@jaconova Thank you so much, buddy! That means a ton ❤️
👍🤘
Very touching story, glad your staying strong to share it. The rainy days will pass, never give up, never forget it. Keep trying to move forward in however way you can. James has the voice of angels I know exactly what you mean, takes your worries away and makes you feel at ease.
Never let the flame die out🤟
I love the typical fan favorites of the earlier albums, but this song is a masterpiece and one I return to listen to over and over again.
Goosebumps every friggin time,such a great underrated song,so is four leaf clover.
truee
+Jackson Pearson Absolutely.
Jackson Pearson. *no leaf ... FTFY
No*
Jackson Pearson I love "No Leaf Clover"!!! Too bad they can't do this live. 🤘🤘 🐧🐧
I just heard this song on the car radio and the feeling just kicked in. Remembering the tough times that I push deep down. I had to pull over.
I'm just going to say that although this era of Mettalica is universally hated on, this song is perfection and I've been obsessed with it since the first time I heard it
Idk why ppl hate this song. It's fucking great. It's been like I'm my top 10 Metallica favorite songs. It's my so under rated.
You're not the only one, and i'm happy to know many people here in the comments feel the same way.
They’ve got to stop with the digital recording, doesn’t work with their music. Analog was made for metal.
Only the idiots hate this era of Metallica!
About dealing with Post Traumatic Stress
I go through that and it speaks to my soul.
So all you song interpreters, get the message coming from those who have been going through what the song's talking about.
You know it is something deeply psychological with Hetfield indeed.
PTSD.
In 100 years, I bet there's still a Metallica fan base. But we're the generation(s) to know them first hand. #timeless
vf12497439 there is, sadly some of the emo hot topic fanbase are slowly damaging the genre’s integrity :(
Dude great point
White Lightning fr! People are gonna assume the losers with the stupid hair dye and makeup are us, irl those are the emos with bands like avenged and black veil brides leading the charge
Dylan Dawson no dude, they’re not bad, they’re abysmal and horrific
Dylan Dawson well, the thing is, I’d have no problem with them if they didn’t overcopy chords and song structures from Metallica. It’s good to be close to your influences, but don’t borrow more than you need to because they can’t write well on their own. Also it’s the matter of the image they try to depict, I’m sorry but the whole deal with stage names, dyed hair, ripping off mike muir’s bandana, and overkill’s logo just pissed me off. If you’re music’s really that good, why the literal fuck do you need this stupid image created to sell yourself better? If your music is actually good, you wouldn’t need these stupid “character” depictions and asshole demeanor to your fans to make yourselves successful
I was 10 years old when this album came out and when it did my older brother who is 8 years older than me, he was 18 at the time, instructed me to find a copy of this CD for him, I lived in the US and he lived in Mexico at the time, my mom gave me the money and I wandered off in our local mall and went straight to the music store and I got a CD for him and a cassette for me of this album, I believe cassettes were cheaper so I had enough money to do that, I remember so vividly putting this cassette in my moms car on the ride home, every song of it reminds of that time and it was my first real introduction to Metallica even though years later I got into their 80s albums, the greatest albums they ever made, this one, stands out as my first experience truly with Metallica, and this song in particular makes me yearn for those years when I was just a 10 year old boy enjoying new music and living with my mother, it's just such a staple for my early teen years in the mid 90s.
I really love this album no matter where it awkwardly stands in their whole catalog, to me it was an eye opening listening experience!
2:38 to 3:12 is pure music perfection!! I could listen to that on a loop over and over and over ♻️
listened to this with my 75 year old mother. She dug it, said it had melody.
Well it's 2020, i'm about to turn 40 years old, metallica has pretty much always been my favorite band, and to this day I fail to understand the so called "diehard" metallica fans who think that after the black album or after AJFA they weren't any good anymore. I guess some people think that the music style a band starts with is always what they should play and nothing else for any reason, ever. A pretty stupid standpoint honestly. Load and Reload are both fantastic albums, and songs like this one are deep, complex, meaningful and are still great to listen to all these years later, and still will be years from now. That's the mark of truly good music. And that's why most "pop music" gets played to death for a month or two then nobody can stand to hear it anymore.
I am so happy that Metallica ”sold out” this, bleeding me, until it sleeps, unfogiven 2 and low man’s lyric are just brilliant songs.
A wonderful song from Metallica.
Hetfield would make a hell of a cowboy
Oh hell yes 🥰
OK WHILE LISTENING TO THIS SONG I SWEAR I FEEL LIKE IM 15 AGAIN LOL GETTING READY FOR ANOTHER DAY IN HIGHSCHOOL....ITS AMAZING HOW A SONG CAN TAKE U BACK LIKE THAT WOW LOL
I know what you mean mate. It takes me back to when I first moved 8 hours away from my hometown ( where I'd spent my entire life), to attend Adelaide Uni in Australia. It was a time of great transition in my life.
While I was there I was often homesick. Whenever I heard the words 'the window burns to light the way back home', I would always think of my family at home and how supportive they were, and I would feel a warm sense of security. Good times.
glad u shared that! thanks alot bro! were as old as we feel! ; )
I remember coming home from Iraq in 2008 and listening to this.
I’ve been a Metallica fan from the start. Bought kill them all in 1983. Have all their albums. I am a huge fan of thrash metal. Having said that, load and reload are classic Metallica albums. They mix hard rock with melody and it works. Hero of the day is one of my favourite Metallica songs. This band are musical geniuses. They can play hard and fast. And slow and heavy. And throw in ballads every now and then. They’re not afraid to experiment either. Unfortunately, for bands like slayer and ACDC, they are trapped in a box that they can’t get out of. Metallica are free to do what they want.
I see, but I think AC/DC are better to stick with their sound
I’ve never heard a difference in genre between a song like “Enter Sandman” or “Until it Sleeps,” both sound like Metallica. The Black album and Load were made using the same musicians and instruments, rock music is rock music, whether you call it rock, metal, or alternative.
Brings tears to my eyes. Underrated is an understatement
Oh, 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?
Oh, 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 hear 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 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
Mama, they try
I played this on my tape deck every morning driving to school my senior year! I wore the tape out! lol. Load was a seriously underrated album! Some truly great songs on that album!
one of their best songs, when I was younger I thought they had sold out but they didnt they just matured and most of us didnt appreciate it at the time
I've been a fan of Metallica for over 25 yrs. They were the first band I saw in concert and have seen them 5 times more. I've introduced them to my kids and am happy to see them enjoy the music just as much as me. Metallica holds a special place in my heart and I am a forever fan!
"The windows burns to light my way back home" another old school Metallica masterpiece 🎸🎶🎙
This is a top 5 song from metallica for me
Load And Reload is great album
Anyone else on a Metallica binge?
Sabes que has madurado cuando el Load te parece un disco infravalorado. Sentimiento, madurez y un auténtico "ya ganamos todo, hagamos lo que nos plazca". Larga vida a MetallicA.
la posta...
Efectivamente
Really?? Try being 48 and listening to Metallica since 1980. This song is trash and so is the album🤷
@@robmcdonald5054 ok boomer
Metallica se la rifó arriesgandose asi, que discazo es Load
1996. My depression in full force. Missing my lost soulmate. This song helped me hang on.
I've always liked Metallica since the 80s I had all of their albums on tapes n cds but this song Hero of the Day brings back a lot of good n bad memories but honestly This is one of the best songs they've ever written n the video how they're on every channel Metallica will always be a fav of mine
Always been my favorite Metallica album! Anton Corbijn kicks ass as always!
I remember the shock and scandal when they all cut their hair and the comments of they sold out. I always have and always will love metallica from driving the backroads of a small country town in the early '80s with ride the lightning on cassette, to being a city girl and buying the reload cd. Now their on my RUclips Playlist connecting to my Bluetooth speakers. I will ALWAYS love them.
I review metallica albums on my channel if anyone is interested! Just uploaded my load review, would love to know your thoughts
People have to understand that Metallica, Jamea in particular, matured. They have families, and kids. You can't live in darkness when other people depend on you, and life has so mu h more to offer than just staying angry, sad and horrified like a lot of metal fans do. These guys have a right, like any artist to grow, and change.
Haven't even listened to Metallica in like a week but I've had this song stuck in my head all day
kocham muzykę Metallicy nigdy mi się nie znudzi ,byłem na kilku koncertach ,wspaniałe wspomnienia ,których nikt mi nie odbierze pozdrawiam wszystkich fanów 🤠
when i was a young kid i would listen to this song over and over again, my favorite metallica song, for some reason, the nostalgia is so strong
❤❤❤Jason will....always be Metallica to Me. Always and forever ❤❤
I really liked this era
Mi primer cassette original, el Load me lo compré cuando salió allá el '96 en una disquera en Viña del Mar, ahora está el Banco Falabella en esa ubicación, calle quinta. Que grandes recuerdos de cuando tenía 12 años!!! Estos wnes siempre serán mi banda favorita 🤘🤘🇨🇱🇨🇱
I'm 43 and all my "Hero"s of the Day" have passed on to the next life. My grandfather was the main one.
Me too! Meee.tooo. 💯
I'm 44 in April and wondering what tf... Everybody's gone :(
Momma, they try and break me. To me, that speaks volumes.
One of the most best songs ever written
Saw them on the Load tour..they were lit!
This is a great song, brings back memories
My grandfather was a US Marine & former pro boxer. This song reminds me of him so much. Especially the verses “ Don’t want your aid, but the fist I made for years can’t hold or feel “. I am not a crier, but this song always gets me choked up.
I've been a Metallica fan since high school in the mid 80s and saw them at the 25 year reunion of Woodstock. Simply amazing. And I'm still a huge fan, as the anger of my youth gets replaced with the sobriety of age, this band continues to be there with me, and their musicianship continues to grow. This song shows it; it's old now, but they have other songs that prove what I'm saying. Thanks for being there James, Lars, Kirk, Paul, Jason, and of course, Cliff, wherever you are. And a shout out to Dave too!!
This song is sadly underrated. Great feel with melody. Also love the Speed Metal riffs
This is one of my favorite songs to listen to whenever I have a bad day, and what makes it even better is that I get to hang out with Jamie, Kirk Meister, J-Man, and Larsy. Thanks, Boys.
Had this song for my wedding
This is the most to the point Metallica balad....love it❤
Load is James' peak as songwriter.
This is such a beautiful song…back in middle school, I would just space out to this tune, until it sleeps and bleeding me when I needed a break from master of puppets, etc.
Metallica fan of 40 years here! The evolution of metallica is one of broadness and perfection. No one does it better!
