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
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
the first half of the song still feels like it represents the end, but an inevitable one without regret instead of a sorrowful untimely one, the up and down nature of the transitions between riffs representing not the light that once was felt and the life that could of been, being compared to an end without an end, only darkness, it instead represents the ups and downs of a life fully lived
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Great work, sounds like such a different song. How does this work, just playing most notes down/up a fret relative to the original? I see capos on the 1st fret occasionally some clips
2:50 Sounds Like BGM Where James Hetfield Gets Ice Powers in The Season 3 Premiere Episode of That Fanmade Metallica Cartoon Made By Disney For The Disney Afternoon and The Disney Channel i Keep Dreaming About
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!
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#.
Another great job guys, thank you for the content. QQ though, the Yello Ibanez with the Multi coloured inlays. Ive seen it somewhere before... where? Is it someone's signature that I cant remember? I thought for a second I had seen Vernon Reid use one similar, but with a quick google search, I cant sem to place them together. Edit: Of course, its a JEM haha.
Truly solid and amazing. I like this version it's a mix of happy Metallica with Blink 182 vibes. I also subscribed. More power guys and greetings from Philippines! 🤘👊🔥
spelled as "on
Love that 😍
yeah I was thinking that too
😍
Spelled as "won"
We did it boys, we found Two by Metallica
Seriously underrated comment!
sounds like a worship rock tune, where the title "One" refers to there being only one God.
What an interesting concept and observation.
If Cliff never died

😂😂😂
Metallica - One (feat. Blink-182)
Haha
yeah I was thinking that too 😂
a bit of dragonforce for the end
ikr hahaha but this song is about girlfriends returning instead of breaking up.
not; My girlfriend left meeeee
but: She has returneeeeeed
Adams song was my first thought
Landline has given me calls
Improven my speech
Improven my hearing
Rested my arms
Rested my legs
Rested my soul
Helped me with things to tell
"Lightness, freeing me, all that I see, absolute splendour."
This basically turned into a Dream Theater song.
It feels just as sad as the original, but in a "remembering the happy times you had when you were younger that will never come back" sort of way.
they can come back with the practice of seed retention
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 !!!
haha fits perfectly
You mean "God is real, Hallelujah !"
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
Full lyrics please! 😂😂😂
Practically.. Creed.
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
Or he’s entering heaven

this makes me want to hear Orion in major
The Interlude is The Only Major Key Part of Orion. The First Four Minutes and The Outro are The Only Minor Key Parts of Orion.
I love that this version is happier yet still brutal as hell. Well done. 🤘
Agreed!
You guys literally caused some healing in my soul with this. Thank you.
❤️🔥
Brightness
Empowering me
All that I see
Absolute honor
I truly can live
Before I die
Body my prized vessel
😂
ive never seen a major key cover of a metal song make me smile more than this one. thanks happy metal
Any time 🥹
"One...fine day!"
Fantastic work as always guys! Always love to hear your spin on songs!
Thank you!

Metallica - with arms wide open
This is literally a symphony. I love it.
I liked the harmonised parts in particular, brilliant job for the rest too!
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.

Thanks for the support bro!
I always like to listen to the rhythm guitar during solos. You guys fucking nailed it
That harmony after the solo is my favorite part
The guy from One gets unplugged and meets his family in heaven
The intro sounds like a Blink 182 song hahahaha. Love you, guys! You are the best!
Haha agreed
Could be so many songs off Cheshire cat
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.
Wow this the best piece of music that I ever heard, now in major!!! Congrats, please deliver the tabs!!!
fantastic! you guys deserve 100x the views you're getting! especially the solo must have been quite hard to arrange!
youtube algorithm hasn't been kind to us 😭
Amazed as usual. You guys totally nail the tone and fx on all these versions. It’s like major key alternate universe.
Sounds awesome the whole song!! Great job guys!
Thank you!
Sounds like One was released on The Astonishing album by DT 😆🤣I love it!
Whaaaat!? This should have millions of views this is brutally good!!
This shit rules! I'm so glad I checked you guys out after seeing an article about your channel in Metal Hammer
That was a lovely article! Welcome to the channel!
Been waiting this forever.. tq for this masterpiece
It's been up for months! 😋
That intro totally sounds like a pop punk band's coming of age song
The clean/acoustic parts make me think of Souvenirs d'un autre monde by Alcest
Aenema by TOOL. Please, I gotta hear such a cool song with such a dark tone in this style. Or 46 and 2, that would also be cool.
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
You turned the harmonizing bit towards the end into a Baroness lead. Haha
why does it sound so much like coheed and cambria at the start?
on a side note, I'd love to take a crack at adding some vocals to this.
This is so awesome! I’m so glad y’all are back and making new content. Keep up the fantastic work!!
Thanks a lot!
Putting this on my playlist. The One we need
So glad you guys are back!
Thank you! Did you see our Maygadeth posts?
Excellent as always! Would love to see a play through of the song at the end of your videos
Amazing, as always! This might be one of my favorite covers of yours! It's either this or Hammer Smashed Face.
Sweet Doom Eternal poster too!
Doom 💜
This is amazing. I'd love to hear vocals with it, too.
Amazing... I was waiting this one for a long time, thanks!
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.
I was wondering when you guys were gonna upload again. That was pretty good!
Thanks a lot! We'll be doing monthly releases
sounds like a pop punk progressive song AMAZING
it all seems so beautiful and peaceful
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 🤣

Truly Frikkin Amazing. You guys make it look effortless. Appreciate the content as always :)
Thanks James!
This is the one I've been hoping for! A glorious day!
Sounds beautiful doesn't it
@@HappyMetalMusic Absolutely!
I love the original, but this has put the biggest smile on my face. Brilliant work.
A beautiful piece ty guys rock on 🤘🏼
🤘
That solo transposed is fuckin A-Class, damn good job
This song is called On
Have you done “a tale that wasn’t right” by helloween I think that would be very interesting
Not yet!
Simply amazing.
This sounds like the end credits music from an RPG. I love it.
Which RPG though? 🤔
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.
This is delightful. Gonna play this at the wedding.
You should! 😍
Have you tried asking Nico Borie to colaborate with Hetfield vocals?
Have not!
Can you guys do a Happy Electric Wizard Funeralopolis?
This is amazing, fine work! I shall call this song Win by metallica
Genius!! Love it
This makes my ears grow with beautiful flowers
Impressive!
Great stuff! Love the VOLA t shirt 🤘
YES! Welcome back!
Thank you!
Pas mal, simplement magnifique, merci, c'est incroyablement
You are just as beautiful as this one. Thank you
Sick video. Why the 1st fret partial capo?
Needed an open G# string since G is not in E major 😎
@@HappyMetalMusic Oh, that makes sense. Too bad you don’t have a one string capo lol
This is amazing! 🔥
Thank you!
You want to send me that yellow Ibanez, you're so generous and kind 💜💜💜
I don't 😎
@@HappyMetalMusic 😂😂😂 beautiful cover you both!!
Nice . That was awesome guys you did it again.
Thanks Jerome!
This is wonderful guys. It's so pretty!
Isn't it?
Great work, sounds like such a different song. How does this work, just playing most notes down/up a fret relative to the original? I see capos on the 1st fret occasionally some clips
This works so well. What the heck.
Would Sea of Lies by Symphony X be doable? 👀
😬
This is actually so nice.
2:50 Sounds Like BGM Where James Hetfield Gets Ice Powers in The Season 3 Premiere Episode of That Fanmade Metallica Cartoon Made By Disney For The Disney Afternoon and The Disney Channel i Keep Dreaming About

Thank you! We do eventually want to do some Racer X
Those arps at the end of Scarified are next to impossible in major (and minor for that matter). I've tried it! 😂😭
@@HappyMetalMusic As far as I'm concerned, the whole song is next to impossible 😅
Accurate
🤘🏼I have so much hope now 😆
this Is soooo gooood ❤
Thanks a lot!

Lyrics :
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare the shadow in the background of the morgue
So, One on major key is basically a Creed's song xD
Nothing wrong with some Creed 😎
oh hell yeah! that lead harmony at the very ended sounded so good!
Thank you!
Another great job guys, thank you for the content. QQ though, the Yello Ibanez with the Multi coloured inlays. Ive seen it somewhere before... where? Is it someone's signature that I cant remember? I thought for a second I had seen Vernon Reid use one similar, but with a quick google search, I cant sem to place them together.
Edit: Of course, its a JEM haha.
The guitar you're thinking of is a JEM777-DY! Mine's just an RG550 with inlay stickers. 😂
Génial comme toujours
Amazing stuff guys
Thank you!
Finally, two!
Wanna play the intro riff on loop.....this is just amazing
This is so awesome! Sounds like some of the Creed stuff. Thanks for creating and sharing such wonderful content!
Truly solid and amazing. I like this version it's a mix of happy Metallica with Blink 182 vibes. I also subscribed. More power guys and greetings from Philippines! 🤘👊🔥
What song is used as the closing song? I want to listen to more of that.
