And Nothing Else Matters...

This is a song for you to notice the different ways British and Americans pronounce the letter R. Pay attention to how the Metallica vocalist, James Hetfield, rolls the R when he sings .."and nothing else matters...", pronouncing the <tt> segment as an /r/. Ready to imitate him as you sing along? Please...

So close, no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words I don't just say

And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

But I know

So close, no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

But I know

I never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words I don't just say

Nothing else matters

Especially dedicated to David R.
