James never actually wrote this for this or any album. It was a personal work he wrote for himself. His deepest most emotional thoughts. Lars overheard him playing it and begged him to put it on the album.

The guitar solo I always thought seemed so natural a fit for the song and always thought it's a great example of James' heart in his music

The first time I stayed at my husbands house when we first started dating, he was sitting playing the guitar and he made eye contact with me while he was playing and held it for the entirety of the song. He was playing Nothing Else Matters. 6 years later it played as I walked down the aisle to marry him

I love how open you guys are. You just say what you're thinking and it is fascinating to listen to, especially the stuff about your relationship. This song has a special place in my heart. This was my favourite song when I was around 6 or 7 years old and I heard my brother playing it. I even went into school and sang it (badly) at a school talent contest when I was 9 years old.

Seeing Sori get completely lost in the music is great! This is truly a wonderful piece of music from the great James Hetfield

This song mean so much to me. My nephew died from cancer 4 years ago and we played this at his funeral. He was a big fan of Metallica. Still makes me a bit sad listening to it.

This is one of the most beatiful pieces of art ever. Song is simple, yet deep and complex. About the eternal struggle of people getting together and staying together. Just pure artistry at its peak. Nothing else matters. I did not like it all that much when it came out, but I was barely a teenager back then and didn't know anything.

A couple actually got married to this song. It was amazing. Just Saying.

my mom always sang this to me and my two little brother when we were babies

Amazing connection you guys have.

What a piece of art. Both your video and the song

i lov e watching your reactions, you are a great pair..Sori feels the music and Vin is more intellectual about the music

Sori's eyes close....and I know she's feelin it. Much love!

Gotta love how shy ol'Vinnie gets when he's talking about Sori.

you guys are a beautiful couple and what you feel for each other's obvious by how you look at each other! adorable, great reactions God bless you ✌🏼🙏🏻

I can tell you were feeling it, you were in the zone ❤️❤️

Next Metallica...something off their debut album... *The Four Horsemen*

You guys rock keep up the awesomeness.

Just wanted to say thank you .....not been the best of weeks.... listening to you both helped cheer me up some....so thank you...be safe

This is the only reaction channel i watch.You two are Awesome

When I am down this is the song that will lift me up and make the day better

This is what I love about music, you can close your eyes and the song can take you to place where imagination is Limitless.😈

Sori - so glad you were still able to 'feel' the song even though you're not feeling your best. Hope you feel better soon girl!! 😊

Sori looks at Vin and asks a question. Vin looking forward, answers, putting up a man of steel front. Sori, says nothing. Vin looks to Sori.........melts! Sori, touches his face and melts with him. This is all anyone needs to know.

Started watching you guys last night and went on a binge. One of my favourite reaction channels. You should do Crushed by Parkway Drive!

Hi, I'm always watching so late!! You both are great.

It's not a shame if you cry to this song because it is simply beautiful.

Amazing I just walked down the aisle with my new wife to this song last week. We chose it because she is from the UK and I'm from the USA lyrics were perfect for the temporary distance. You 2 are awesome. This reaction made my day

Just like you suspected, the song is about romantic relationships. The singer James Hetfield said in an interview that how it was about missing your loved one while on tour. One day he was talking to his then-girlfriend on the phone and had a guitar in his lap. He did the arpeggio that you can hear through the song and suddenly he had to end the conversation because he heard it sounding good. Then the musical side of the song was built on that. If I remember correctly, he actually wanted the song for himself, but the drummer Lars Ulrich overheard it and wanted to make an official song of it. And the rest is history.

This song is so true but so vague you can interpret how you want. Great reaction

All music aside, the best part of this video was seeing what a great relationship you two have. How both of you have come through all kinds of bad times, and you've found each other. There were some really touching moments here, and I appreciate your willingness to let us look into your lives like that. Very few presenters drop their stage persona and let people see the real person behind it. Thank you.

Absolutely love this song! This is the song that my wife and I chose as our first dance together after being married. As always, great reaction and breakdown of what you heard and felt. Saying that this is the best reaction channel doesn't do the two of you justice. This always feels so much more meaningful. Keep up the good work!

19:55 thank you for that beautiful moment ☺️ genuine love 💕

Nothing else matters, forever a favorite, thanks again my friends.

Every time I listen to a slow metallica song I just feel it inside of me the emotion I can just feel it. It just makes me want to cry sometimes I hear this on the radio every day

Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark (live Rock in Rio 2001)

I have seen Metallica back in 1992 when they were promoting their famous black album featuring this song in Miami...…..

This was my first dance song at my wedding. :) Awesome.

Just subscribed, I’ve watched a few over the past couple weeks, but you guys grew on me.

One of my favorite songs of all time, and I honestly never even stopped to consider what it was about. The music just has an aura about it that's like... it doesn't even really matter what it's about. It just fills you with this emotion that can be whatever it is to you regardless of what James is rambling on about.

im a huge metallica fan from indonesia i love u both, u guys are awesome

vin-sori listening to both of you..... i like you man.... your deep man.... deep but sensible.... your relationship with your creator is a personal thing that no one, not one should interfere with it....

This is my wedding song. The first time my wife never heard this after I suggested it she agreed. It was perfect for the two of us

get goosebumps over my whole body from this song!

You guys are cool together. Peace and love

Beautiful song!!

30:26 - You two are absolutely perfect for each other; it's really quite incredible to witness.

you are an amazing couple :') love your channel, your conversations, everything! regards from Chile :)

My son's just turned 8 and we've started guitar lessons together, this is the first song we learned and I've heard it my whole life and always found it beautiful, but I've gotta say, I always cry every time I watch my tiny man play it ❤

Wow. The subtitles is on... Thanks, now i can understand a little best your reactions.. Thanks a lot... Regards from México...

Sori Was So Relaxed

At first I thought to myself "Oh why NEM, such a famous song you all must've heard it a billion times" but then I saw Sori was sick and had a headache and realized..As always great reviews, funny and kind, enjoyable personalities :) luv ya all, always awesome to hear your stories and thoughts

Always loved this song my wife and i had this song as our first dance song at our wedding

Love it because James does the solo for this song and you can feel the emotion even in that. The song was originally written for his girlfriend-at-the-time when he was on tour but nowadays James says its a song for the fans.

Late to watch and reply to, but excellent conversation. Thank you for sharing.

Vin ... That was the most beautiful and best declaration of love I've ever heard .. trust....

Gratz on 40k subs guys. Way to go :)

Easily, without argument, the single best reactions on KZfaq... I love Sori's interpretations!

I love you guys ❤❤❤❤❤

U guys r the best

This song always makes me feel nostalgic. It was my dads first dance with his wife when they got married.

Damn hope you feel better!

great song one of my all time fave metallica songs

An absolute classic and of metallica's most beautiful in my opinion that guitar riff is just so magical

I read somewhere that "So close, no matter how far" James' grandfather's last words

It's about the band, and what greater compliment can one give to his friends, than a song like this.

I love playing the fingerstyle intro to this.

You two might be proof soul mates exist. My first wife left me for another man and mind you I wasn't perfect and blame for the failed marriage can land on both sides. My church wanted me to force this thing to work. Ultimately neither of us were happy in our marriage but our religion dictated that we make it work. Kind of crazy huh? Anyway I have remarried to a wonderful woman whom I remind everyday is the most important woman in my life and my ex is happy with her new fiance. Life is as it should be. I'm probably rambling but your commentary always gets me thinking which I guess is why I like listening to you guys.

Having already known that you've been through a lot in life, there are still some new things I'm still finding out about you. It is amazing and consoling that you found your peace in all of this and that you have each other. I apologize for my rant from The Unforgiven II video. I took it too emotionally. I was being immature (I'm still standing by my view though :D). Sori! Vin! Every time I watch your video, there is something inspiring in what you say that just stays with me. Thank you for that.

This song is pure gold :')

She's so adorbs!

she gets it!!!

My uncle’s wedding video montage was set to this tune, and he was more than happy to find out if the kids thought it was rad to see Metallica showcased at a wedding. Haha.

Wish you guys did it with the video...Sori would've liked to see the guys having fun

Vin I'm sorry to hear that's what you saw growing up. I was lucky to have my father as a great example. I am going to make sure my son has that same example. And he will understand that you are more of a man for loving your woman and not being ashamed of that than you are to act like a stereotypical man.

Yes!! Metallica Monday, I look forward to it!, embrace it guys don’t fight it:)

Dead Skin Mask- Slayer

one of my faves

I'm normally more into the heavy hitters, but I have a special affinity for this song as it helped me cope at a time when my wife (then g/f) was in the hospital. My best man relayed that story at my wedding and had the DJ play this song :)

My favorite intro guitar work of any Metallica song written

Great that Sori has the creative mind to come to her own conclusion on what it meant. The viewer or the listener is to bring a part of themselves to the art with their experience. Never ask an artist ‘ what does it mean’. It means whatever it is to you.

love them

Hell yea , Metallica Monday ... I knew y'all wouldn't disappoint ..... Soulfly -Tribe

Korn- shoots and ladders lol that's a fun one.......... I love this song........ just kick back relax and drink a beer to

Vin, I'm right there with you on the trust thing. There's only two people in this world I truly trust. It's nigh impossible for me to trust people. But don't forget, you guys have the village to back you up 😁 🤘❤

React to Sodom. They're a German Thrash metal band who had a big influence on the early black metal and death metal scenes. Any of these songs would be fine - Nuclear Winter - Christ Passion - Bombenhagel

Everytime I hear this I cry. Sorry S. I miss it all.......

You guys are rad. I’m not religious in any way whatsoever but I enjoy your reactions to my favourite songs and I really enjoy hearing you guys put a personal spin on everything and sharing your stories as human beings. I am truly happy for stumbling upon this channel. And as an atheist I enjoy hearing all the biblical references because I like hearing and learning about the “other camp” cheers guys!

GET WELL SOON SORI

jeez guys way to choke me up lol good shit. Wish i could have let myself trust more.

Yes! Definitely a 10. As Sori said, beautiful song.

This album that got me into metal! Love it!

Perfect reaction guys. Tnx maybe time for "One" come now?

Cracking song.

This channel is really growing on me! Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on Rammstein

every time I glance at sori I keep thinking she got a Metallica t on

Hello from Latvia 🇱🇻💓

YEAH YEAH!

I like your take on music-reaction videos, it's enjoyable and you guys seem like genuinely good folks, and the chemistry (which is clearly fake).... Jk... Makes watching you both blabber an easy experience esp that your videos hover around the 30 - 45 minutes which is unusual for this type of contents, and would've otherwise been an easy "skip", but instead I listen and watch along. Congratulations on the channel growth! 🤘🏻 Peace from a Muslim bro in Dubai 😁✌️ P. S : Metallica-Monday is a smart move, keep it. Edit :btw the notification sound in throughout this video drove me nuts as I thought it was coming from my phone and kept checking everytime 😂

I sense there was some Vin and Sori lovin' after this video. Lmao
