Been here...a homeless heroin addict & dancer. Turned the page 20 years ago. Clean, sober & my kids turned out just fine. Thank God.

Respect to all single mothers/fathers who are doing everything to make their children happy. Respect to Metallica for putting this into a music video. Respect to Hetfield for being a great human being.

This tune is incredible. James's vocal power is unreal.

I will be 37 years old, living in Hungary. I know what it's like to live like this, I know what it's like to be down in the dust. For decades, we just survived the days. My mother always fought for me. Lately, our life is starting to get easier. As a retiree, I can sometimes help her financially, but I don't have money from work... Those who live in abundance and comfort have no idea what it's like to be trapped in poverty and dependencies. Thank you, Mom, for all the struggles. I have learned a lot from you!

No matter how many times I hear "Here I am, on the road again" I always get chills

I was the daughter in the situation. I'm happy to say my mom lives a much more stable and happy life now and I'm so proud of her.

Takin' care of her sweet little child...RESPECT.

I first seen this video when I was 13. Watching it again as a adult with a family it put me in tears. What a fantastic job this video was in showing the other side of the industry!

4:19 When Hetfield opens his eyes after this short silence, it always sends shivers down my spine...

God this video is dark.... respect to Metallica for doing this.

That "and you don't feel much like riding" was so God damn crispy lol

Still on 2024

Probably one of the best covers of all time

I was raised in the 90s. Now I’m a father. This hits home. Respect to all the parents out there sacrificing to make their kids lives as good as they can

Man, Hetfield's guitar tone and rhythm playing is absolutely killer on this song.

I say this with nothing but absolute respect. Bob Seger is my hero. I grew up very badly in those first few years of my life when his music was new. I would have never imagined that I would have even considered liking anyone covering this song. What it means to me runs very deep into my soul. You guys did it right. My respect.

I’ve always admired this cover. They really captured the mournful tone. And this video... I think I want to cry, now.

Can't even imagine what life would be without Metallica. Thank you for all the great music.

This version of this song is outstanding. Good job Metallica.

Sick song and killer video clip. That's real story telling for more than 5 minutes.

If this doesn't get to your heart, nothing will.

I remember watching this video back in 99 as a kid , and how deep were the feelings that gave me. So raw , so true , so deeply frightening... Great cover , with such an important social message. Hey they don't make videos like these any more..

Metallica are the best rock and metal band on this planet earth, thank you for existing

Made some mistakes in life, regained my posture and joined the military. I excelled and turned the page of life

The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they don't wish to see anyone else suffer the way they did. *~Gaddafi*

Some of the old school Metallica fans never embraced the band's evolution. I can appreciate both their earlier works and the latter. I think they are brilliant and have carved a unique niche in music like no other. This is a great cover and pays homage to another great story teller and entertainer, the indelible Bob Seger.

Have been a fan of Bob Seger original version... But Metallica has done an incredible job as well.. the song is a masterpiece in itself.. This video is chilling... Anything for your offspring ... Salute!!

Godamn, life is so fucking hard for so many. This video still makes my heart ache everytime I see it after so many years.

This is what music should sound like today

This is so sad but true . Great job metalica God bless those who made it through to the other side.

I can never get sick of this song, the lyrics speak more then words can say wow

That has to be the darkest, most mature and most depressing music video I've ever seen besides One.

This song reminds me of a party I went to, there were people I don't usually hang out with, so I walked away from the house where I was and found a girl on the sidewalk listening to this music and Drinking, so I went to her and asked to sit next to her, so we talked a lot and there that Saturday night I kissed my late wife, Letícia know that wherever you are I love you❤️🤘

Always loved this Seger classic, but when Metallica covered it. It brought the song to a new level!

This song motivates me... About to turn the page to writ a new story 💪🏼🙏

My HD-remaster of this video is out. Welcome.

When Hetfield opens his eyes after this short silence, it always sends shivers down my spine!

Metallica took us too another level here.i don't know if seager saw it coming I don't care .they nailed it .

Music acts like a magic key, to which the most tightly closed heart opens.💕

Underrated song, so much pain in the song

this video hits hard man.. i tell you.. so powerful. i was raised on the streets at an early age. i know how hard it is. age 7 im out looking for my own food. im lucky to have a half meal for the rest of the day.. the experiences made me tough and i wont let my kids go through what ive been through when i was a kid.. high respects to the moms and dads out there grinding it out for their kids.

This video is a hard watch. It’s very raw and probably very realistic. Hats off to Metallica for a great cover of this song!

It doesn't matter why anyone comes here. Even if you're very happy in life, this damn song is killing you.

You can't be more 90's than this video

How many mothers have this life.. to raise a child and do this kind of job. They deserve a better future! A better life!

Another classic covered flawlessly by Metallica ❤

NOBODY SHOULD EVER HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS! R.I.P. to those who didn't make it and Huggs for those who survived...

I cant ever watch the whole video... as a mom it breaks my heart. The harsh part of this video is the child, not what the mom goes through, I think. Love Metallica, their videos tend to deliver reality. This one is dark... too real as well.

Thank you James for Hetfield for 40 years of amazing music!! My life wouldn't be the same without you and metallica!

Dude tear to my eye. That poor baby.

I've been on this earth for 26 years, and I've listened to this song since before I dropped out of the womb. But this is the first time I've watched this video to go along with the music. And now, here I am, a grown ass man with a TIG welder in my hand trying to work with tears in my eyes. Pro tip: they can't see you cry if you're wearing a welding hood 👍

This is one of the most powerful videos on the internet.

This makes me cry every time... Man... We are so lost on this blue ball we call home...

I really respect parents that will do anything to make their kids have a good childhood. My mom said your not supposed to enjoy life earlier today. For the parents here, make your kids enjoy life.

One of the greatest covers ever done 👍

When I think about "America", I imagine those scenes. A lot of people think about New York, fancy shit and technology, but I think about these crappy motels, red light clubs and truck drivers. Don't ask me why

Even 2020 Metallica is forever

Сколько лет слушаю это песню, и каждый раз пробирает до мурашек..

Metalica music never die

Absolutely incredible song that blows the original out of the water.Metallica never cease to amaze!

So amazing hetfield voice on this song

My mom left me as a kid and I was raised by my grandparents and my mom and dad were both gone half my life. This song hits home. Long live Metallica 🤘🤘

The entire band is awesome, metallica got me through my dark period, thanks james, Lars, kirk, and the great bass player

James Hetfield is so underrated, one of the greatest frontman, his voice can cut glass

I used to listen to this song on the drives to see my hookup the next city over, I always loved being on the road even when the purpose was less than comforting. Reminds me of being 15-16 and riding my dirt bike to my friends house listening to Metallica and black dahlia murder. Both of those days are long gone but every time I hit the end of this song it's like a flash back of 15-20 and every single moment I was on the road I never felt alone but never without purpose, even without a destination in mind I knew exactly what I was doing and where I was going. Miss that feeling.

Metallica has truly done justice to this Bob Seger classic.

Absolutely slayed this version. Perfection.

They did this song so awesome..... one of my favorite albumns.... so great

I live in an area of Nebraksa east of Omaha Where you can hear the rumbling of trucks from outside your window late at night. My dad was a trucker. Before he passed away we would jam Metallica together in his cabin when I was little and those are memories I will hold dear and cherrish forever. Metallica you are a treasure to me and my family.

I've never seen the music video for this. That really brought tears to my eyes.

There's alot of single parents out there, silent Hero's, who are all fighting to give the best to their children...Massive Respect 🙌🙏❤

This Clip didnt hurt me when i was 17. But 20 years later, after being a mother damnn really hurts

On a long and lonesome highway East of Omaha You can listen to the engines moanin' Out this one-note song You'd think about the woman Or the girl you knew the night before But your thoughts will soon be wanderin' The way they always do When you're ridin' 16 hours There's nothin' much to do And you don't feel much like ridin' You just wish the trip was through Here I am, on the road again There I am, up on the stage There I go playin' the star again There I go, turn the page So you walk into this restaurant All strung out from the road And you feel the eyes upon you As you're shakin' off the cold You pretend it doesn't bother you But you just want to explode Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk Other times you can All the same old clichés Is it woman, is it man? And you always seem outnumbered You don't dare make a stand Make your stand Here I am, on the road again There I am, up on the stage Here I go playin' the star again There I go, turn the page Oh-oh, out there in the spotlight You're a million miles away Every ounce of energy You try and give away As the sweat pours out your body Like the music that you play, yeah Later in the evenin' As you lie awake in bed With the echoes of the amplifiers Ringin' in your head You smoke the day's last cigarette Rememberin' what she said What she said Yeah, and here I am, on the road again There I am, up on the stage Here I go playin' the star again There I go, turn the page And there I go Turn that page There I go, yeah, yeah There I go, yeah, yeah Here I go, yeah Here I go, yeah There I go There I go And I'm gone

The director who was Swedish Jonas Akerland came up with the idea for the video from his own life experience of being a single parent. Basically discussing all the issues people deal with.

What a great voice and song, EVERY TIME I FEEL LIKE RUNNING OUT OF GAS, I PUT THIS SONG AND ITS LIKE MY ENERGY BAR GOES ALL THE WAY UPPPP, THANKS METTALICA...

respect to all mothers, and a song that makes you think....i love this song very much because it means a lot to many girls

As a single autistic mother struggling with BPD, this song always hits me hard and I end up crying. Parenting can be fucking challenging.

Remember watching this video as a kid, and becoming aware of the lives women like this lead…Really sad. The director was genius pairing this narrative with the song.

Never went threw this life but always loved this song different reasons never thought id like a cover song but Mr Rockstar Hetfield did an spectacular job with this !!! The men of Metallica are fantastic artists!!! I had to become a drug dealer never wanted that life but it got my kid's raised

Metallica master piece 👏👏👏👏 the best of the best Metallica

This song is heartbreaking to see but beautiful at the same time. As a kid from a broken home trying to be the best father to my own daughter this song hits home so hard

Brutal, the life somme people live

Love this version ❤

I love bob seger but... this is one of the best covers of all time.

With ALL due respect to Bob Seger and his amazing song, Metallica's version of this song is absolutely amazing!!

If I could start my life all over again ,I would make the exact same choices that I have made. What a legendary quote.Respect to you all who would do the same.

Trust Metallica to have a deeper meaning then just feeling good at someones expense turn the page , love how they took a classic and turned it into a classic 😮

35 year and metallica is still awsome

So sad to think of all parents struggling to raise their children. The clip really fits the amazing music! I almost get tears in my eyes when I hear this number. One of the best numbers of Metallica. I can listen it day in day out and it never gets boring.

Metallica gives this song balls and I love it

Major respect to Metallica for using this Seger cover to humanize a single mom by showing how her experience actually aligns with that of Segers Rocker/Freak. We are allowed to see her compared to a rocker on tour: like them she is a consummate professional who on stage, wields the ancient psychic exchange of performance, but offstage, seen through the gaze of small minded people, is an unwelcome, scapegoated,0 taboo-breaking outsider. Your mama loves you, kid.

This is more than a music video

Me in 1998 as a kid: Oh cool, a stripper and boobies! Me today: Hugs daughter after seeing the video.

Masterpiece in many different forms ❤

Maybe one of the best video clips I have ever seen. Thank you guys!

I met a lot of people that wont listen to sad songs in fear of getting depressed . I just take a deep dive is and figure my shit later. I find it cathartic.

It's not a cover- - it's a completely different song, a new dimension, a novel Universe. One and only - Metallica.

One of the best videoclips that i've ever saw, i'm always back here to listen to that impecable cover and watch that insane clip.

Gotta say that this is one of the best cover versions of a song ever made

In Romania "Metalica is cool" we say Metalica e blana! Thank you Metalica!
