@thewseshow hetfield lost his mom to the same thing, but the doc's refused to treat her, they told him that god would save her, and thats what the god that failed came from, and later this song
this song is better with just james singing on his own with an acoustic, i hate the album version just because of that retarded country music part in the chorus
Mama Said and Ozzy's Mama Im Coming Home Great Songs Very Similar in their lyrics but maybe this is a bit darker Say What you Want From The Load Albums But I Think There's Some great songs in 'em
What´s wrong with this song? I love it, it´s great with just James and his guitar. And i think it was nice of him to write a song to his parents, and not to be so "hard" all the time :P
this is such a sad song, it talks about his mothers death becasue of cancer, she couldnt take treatment or any medication becasue of her religon, that god will save them, also until it sleeps it talks about his dads death becasue of cancer and also he couldnt take treatment or any medication becasue of his religon
The music. The lyrics. The mere way he puts it together live. Seriously its as though anything this band touches turns to gold. What more is there to say?
this is a good song. its something i can tell james needed to write (along with nothing else matters). when i first listened to this, i didnt like it because this isnt really heavy metal metallica, its country music metallica. this is something i wouldnt have been surprised if someone else wrote it and made it sound a little better, but this is still good stuff

The doctors didn't refuse treatment. SHE refused treatment. That was part of her religion, "Christian Science" They believe the body is a shell.
