This is possibly the best reaction to such a powerful song. You got the whole meaning. It makes me cry to see it. Beautiful. Thank you.

You 100% got the meaning of this song. This is why you are the queen of these reactions 🙂 God bless you and your loved ones 🙏🙏

Now that you've seen and heard the original song, you REALLY need to watch the official video. It dives quite a bit deeper into the story. It was based on the movie "Johnny Got His Gun," and the song tells the story quite well, but the music video gives a lot more context to the actual story

As a 20 year vet and so many deployments it's so insane how this song has been with me since I was young not really knowing the meaning at 6 years old and knowing all to well the price we paid at 18-38 years old. Thanks for the react.

This song is a metal staple and a metal anthem. I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. More needs to be done to help our veterans. They risk their lives to ensure our freedom and they get thrown away by the very country they've sworn to protect. I know WAY too many homeless veterans. Thanks for playing this song.

Being almost 52 years old and growing up probably the biggest Metallica fan on the planet(I've seen them 9 times) you're reaction is exactly what I expected it to be and you couldn't have picked a better song One being they're breakthough song. You should look into more of old school Metallica and if you keep reacting the way you did in this video your a true metal head lol. God bless you girl and keep up the great work and God bless America 🇺🇲.

Girl, you got to me. Your beautiful words and the way YOU describe the song, along with your backing music made me cry. This is one of my favorite songs by Metallica and this is my fav reaction to it. ❤❤

It's amazing how many of these hard-rock/metal songs are actually anti-war, violence, and really about peace. Although they sound so aggressive, and menacing, songs like "2 Minutes to Midnight" by Iron Maiden, and Ozzy's "Crazy Train", lyrically are about the evils of war, greed, and exploitation.

Absolutely nailed it. This song has such a power full message. Everyone should hear it at least once.

You created a work of art with this reaction. Thank you so much for sharing.

This is one of the most enjoyable songs for reaction videos. It creates a war within the listener between enjoyment of the beauty and power of the music vs the gut-wrenching subject matter of the lyrics. You almost feel bad about enjoying it! This reaction was great because the conflict was written all over your face.

I really liked your reaction to this powerful song. Wonderful after talk! 😊

Perfectly said: “Powerful and Heartbreaking”

Worthy of note is that the drums mimic machine gun fire.

You'll want to see their official video. It's pretty amazing!

You are a beautiful person Sarah, Thank you.

Another like from Canada... glad you caught this one... i would ask you watch the actual video, it is epic and actually makes the song even deeper... there are a lot of clips from a movie called "Johnny got his gun" filmed in 1971, from the book written in 1938 or '39, which mate to this song perfectly

I have watched dozens and dozens of reaction videos to this song. You are literally the first person to really seem to understand the message and take it to heart. The musicianship of this song is beyond belief amazing! And most people get caught up in that. You heard the message and listened to the lyrics and understood what James was trying to get across. When you hear slogans like support our veterans people ignore it. They don't really understand it because they did not experience it personally. Only have combat vet understands a combat vet. I think you came pretty damn close. First video I saw of yours and I absolutely appreciate you!

You were wonderful. Felt the music all through you. Love that. You are genuine. I would sincerely love to give you friendly hug.

Very, very good reaction. Reminds us how we take the smallest tasks, details of our lives for granted. Blessings to you lady. 🌹

I love your after analysis and emotional thoughts. Very beautiful words! You have an amazing ability to understand and feel art, and I thank you so much for gracing us with your touching expressiveness! Subscribed!

Excellent reaction. Nice attentive listen. U get it. The emotion that this song creates is unmatched.

My husband was a medic in Iraq and told me a heartbreaking story about a devout young man in his care - not much more than a boy, really - from SomeSmallTown, USA, newly married to his high school sweetheart, and completely naive to the great big world. Anyway, this young man's vehicle was hit by an IED, and... well, you can imagine the damage that was done. Both legs were lost, as well as a portion of one arm and serious damage to his face and shoulder. The injuries were extensive, the recovery period promised to be excruciating, and he was just lucky not to have suffered any serious brain damage. One particularly difficult night, this young man begged my husband, with tears streaming down his face, to end his life because he couldn't bear the thought of going home in this condition. My hubby reminded him that he had been lucky to avoid brain damage, and that a loving family and wife awaited him and they would take good care of him. This made the man cry even harder. Sensing there was something more going on, my hubby pressed the man to tell him exactly what was upsetting him so much, and the answer was absolutely heartbreaking. The explosion had mangled his male parts and he would never have normal intimacy again, nor would he be able to have any natural offspring. He was devastated for his future with his new wife, convinced she would leave him, and even saying that she should marry someone else. So young, so sheltered, and now so damaged. And most of that damage done was so visually obvious, but it was the unseen injury that was causing him the most heartache. War wounds run very deep, often deeper than we realize.

I feel you. Thanks for giving this One a listen. I served in the hopes that my children don't have too.

I always love your metal reactions! This is a very deep song as you now know.👍🏻❤️

Canadian lady here. My great grandfather was lost in WW2. I say lost because his remains were never found, he went missing in Normandy and his name is on the Vimy wall. When I think about him I always pray that when he went missing he did not suffer long before he died, and always wonder if he was alone when it happened. No family should ever have to think of things like this. Yet it still happens every day, that breaks my heart. My grandfather was only a young child when his dad went to war and never got to see him again. My dad never met his grandfather. To this day my dad who is 80 years old hopes by some miracle the remains will be found because many other remains have actually been found. Thank you Sarah for you beautiful reaction. XO

Fantastic album. Now, I have to go listen to it all over again! I fell in love with Metallica back in the 80s.

Thank you. The last reaction i seen on this song and they just didn't get it. I still get chills every time i hear One.

What an amazing song, my daughter is 16 now and just recently listened to this for the 1st time, it's so deep. Good reaction!!!!

You should watch the video to the song……

The video won a Grammy award in '90 for best metal performance

A trully feeling of this song, thank you !

Another powerful anti-war song you will love is "Child in Time" by Deep Purple. Child in Time is dedicated to the civilians and children trapped by war. In the live performances you can see how much emotion the singer puts into it.

Your Head Banging for this ONE was in FIRE🔥🔥

That was beautiful!

The official video is one to watch you get a more real impression! love your reaction!

Oh this one is among my favourites! I suggest you the official video is really good 😃

Great reaction and interpretation Sarah. To get a full impact of the song watch the official video on your own. It has clips from the movie, Johnny Got His Gun which play right along with the song. Check out Disposable Heroes, it has the same theme as this. Also Welcome Home(Sanitarium), Fade to Black, and Ride the lightning

Young lady, this song made me cry. It's hauntingly beautiful.

So this song was intended as a tribute to bassist Cliff Burton who died in bus accident outside of Oslo, Sweden during the master of puppets tour. The song is based a on book and movie cliff like whoes name escapes me, but the premise was of a young American sent to fight in the hell that was WW1, where he lost speech, hearing, control of his arms and legs was kept alive through artificial means just to prove it could be done. Still to this day this song hit hard and the crowds enjoy the song

Fantastic song. BTW. You are my favorite reaction

your reaction was as powerful as the song. Keep up the good work sister, you earned a sub from this Orc

Dankeschön Sarah! One of the best songs in the history of Metal, a masterpiece! 🤘🏻

Thank you for really understanding what this song means. War is horrible and the effects of war last for generations. So much unnecessary death caused by greedy people. I’m a first time viewer and I’m now going watch your other reactions. Love to all y’all! ❤️

Great reaction! And the official video is practically perfect; seek it out for your own enjoyment, not even a reaction. For their first-ever video, Metallica knocked it out of the park. They bought the rights to the movie Johnny Got His Gun so they could show it during concerts.

Pure work of art.

Well…..as I told you now you have to react to the video to “One” and put it up here on your channel. I personally guarantee you that you will be even more touched and impressed by the best band ever…Metallica 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘….

Best Metallica song and easily best video ever.

You almost got the meaning of the song, it wasn't about many soldiers getting injured by land mines it was a true story about one guy that lost his arms, legs, sight, hearing and his ability to speak. "One" guy that lost all that and they saved his life only for him to be forever alone and a prisoner of his own mind. The song is a tragedy about how war made that guy suffer not just when he went to war but a lifetime of suffering because of the war. Like many others that don't lose as much of what he lost but still suffer a lifetime because of what they went through. This song even though it is a very sad story actually helped a lot of Veterans of foreign wars after learning how things could of turned out worse for them. And do you remember when I told you about the incredible instrumentals they are capable of, this is one of many many more you have to explore.(one, pun intended, LOL) It's looking like maybe you're becoming a big fan of Metallica?

This is a video you have to watch. Without copyright reaction stuff. On your own. Mtv used to actually play music videos. And concert tickets were affordable.

That was a great analysis, Sara! This song elicits a lot of emotion!

Very good reaction. 👌👌🤘

Metallica was our go to band for so many when we were dealing with so much. Therapy for a lot of us!!!! 🤘🏿

When I was promoted to a lance corporal, my parents bought me a ticket to Metallica show, it was 1992.

You didn't pause all the time awesome stuff I subscribed

Great reaction.

my favorite song

My dear, you got the meaning. Welcome to Metallica

WWI was a vicious mesh of classic war and modern technology, and it didn't end well for the soldiers on the line. The images of the men the war broke is heartbreaking. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Just an absolute terror.

SARAH YOU GOT IT!! IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONG. ONCE JAMES HETFIELD (THE SINGER) SAID I WOULD NEVER SING BULL SHIT!!! 🤘🏼🎶

I would take you to a Metallica concert any time!!! You felt that one. R E S P E C T.

Watch the music video to fully understand what ONE means. They use the most powerful WW1 movie in the video. What soldiers feel when left behind and abandoned in front of everybody

Perfect reaction. 😢

❤️❤️❤️love from sweden❤️❤️❤️

Braids r on point…🔥🔥

Glad you do Metallica Sarah, may I request you do Orion from Metallica it is a masterpiece. peace.

Your intro is legit ngl

I love that the rhythm of the guitar sounds like machine guns.

It isnt just angry white boy music. I got that alot. It is music for everyone. My brother, got me to listen to Tupac I loved it and I got him to listen to this. There is more in common that what we know. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

If you think the song by itself is sad, you should see the official video. Very depressing. The song still kicks ass tho. Good reaction👍🏼

I love that you didn't watch the video and you listened to the lyrics

Thanks a lot for your reaction. You should watch one with the video--you'll have images that will make you understand why the guy so much want to die. And old Metallica as well: in particular For whom the bell tolls (live--Day on the green 1985), or Master of puppets (lyrics or the original video). For more with original bassist Cliff Burton, try Anasthesia--live Chicago 1983, that will blow your mind. Have a nice day.

The Music Video is even more descriptive. It shows a veteran totally disabled in every way.

Powerful.

Keep going on with Metallica!

And now it still continues; humans will never learn.

You should take some time and watch the official video it is way more piogenent with the video and worth the watch.

Crazy how so many of the most aggressive sounding bands tend to be anti-war

Biggest Song 🍾🎸❣️🌹

It's even heavier if you watch the video. The clips from the movie that inspired the song make it so much more gut-wrenching

Class song poor man it happens in war its horrible they made a film about this happening think thats were they got the idea for the song PEACE OUT Dublin ireland

This is only version lady, the music talk a lot more, take good. ❤

Need to watch the music video of this song to really get the feeling out of it

Thank you for listening to the album version so much better than the video

Al fin una reaccion sin el puto video

I wish you had done the official video. Even more to the story with that one. Good reaction though

You got it

Now you know where Adam song by Blink 182 found inspiration

Listen to Orion by Metallica

Love 'er..

Loved this reaction. Please check out Master of Puppets!

Wow, you are a powerful speaker. You need to stop this and become an inspirational speaker a life coach use the talents of God is bestowed upon you young lady because you have a gift well done and please keep doing your channel.

wat and death and recovery.....................even for their families. the kids that survive these combat marines........im one. weird shit happened while i was growning up. good and bad. my younger bros could not handle the screaming and hatred. war is real hell. and it continues for many.................................

🤘🤘🤘

Love it. Please do Metallica Disposable Hero's with lyrics.

u get it.

Please listen to the studio version. It's even more powerful. The story gets really poignant when you hear the General and the soldier speaking. Get a tissue... you'll need it.

Watching the non video first is a good choice imho.

Sarah, thank you for featuring “One.” I sold hundreds of copies of this album in the 80s and 90s when I had aCD store but never listened to it as closely as you led us to do. I understand its importance replete with the terrible realities. I’ve always said the people making the best reaction videos are great listeners. You are that and more: empathetic, passionate, and sincere. Now that you have done this, please consider this inspirational song, done live: Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) & The Wounded Warriors Band, featuring LCpl Tim Donley “Wide River to Cross.” You’ll get your tears in (we all will),but theywill be tears of a different type. Thank you for what you continue to contribute on your channel. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8eFkq2T0LvacoE.html
