Nothing else matters


"Nothing Else Matters" is a song by the American heavy metal band Metallica, which was released in 1992. It was composed by lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield, along with lead guitarist Kirk Hammett. The song was written in the key of E minor and is known for its melodic and emotionally profound nature. Interestingly, "Nothing Else Matters" was almost left off the band's self-titled fifth studio album, commonly known as the "Black Album," but it ended up becoming one of Metallica's most popular and enduring songs. The track showcases Hetfield's heartfelt lyrics and soulful vocals, accompanied by powerful guitar solos, creating a captivating and timeless melody.
