Mandatory Metallica


I've been enjoying this week with my XM radio, and the mandatory Metallica! Metal by the best heavy metal band of all time 24 hours a day from now until September 12 when their 9th album, Death Magnetic, is released. I wish that this would be an all the time station instead of a special for a few weeks. I've loved this group since I started watching MTV back in 1986 or '87. I still remember being transfixed by the guitar and drums of Enter Sandman. And hiding in my room watching that music video that excited and freaked me out at the same time. Metallica was always a guilty pleasure of mine since it was really odd for a southern teenage black girl in the 90's to like heavy metal. Then Rob and I started dating, and I got completely immersed in all things Metallica since he's a huge fan boy of theirs. He took me to one of their concerts back in '04, and it was freaking awesome to see them live! We had only been dating a couple of months at that point, and that trip was a bonding time for us. It was the 1st time a guy had actually taken me on a real trip.We danced to their song, Nothing Else Matters, as our 1st dance at our wedding. And "our song" is Sabbra Cadabra. The name of my blog come from one of their songs. Basically I love, love, love Metallica!

"Sabbra Cadabra"

Feel so good, I feel so fine
Love that little lady always on my mind
She gives me loving every night and day
Never gonna leave her, never going away

Someone to love me
You know she makes me feel all right, yeah (all right)
Someone to need me
Love me every single night, yeah

Feel so happy since I met that girl
When we're making love
It's something out of this world
Feels so good to know that she's all mine
Gonna love that woman 'til the end of time

Someone to live for
Love me 'til the end of time, hey, hey-yeah
She makes me feel happy
It's good to know that she's all mine

I am the world that hides
The universal secret of all time
Destruction of the empty spaces
Is my one and only crime
I've lived a thousand times
I found out what it means to be believed
The thoughts and images
The unborn child that never was conceived

You gotta believe me
Hey, I'm talking to you

Well, I know, it's hard for you
To know the reason why
And I know you'll understand
More when it's time to die
Don't believe the life you have
Will be the only one
You have to let your body sleep
To let your soul live on, haha

Wo-ooh
Feel so happy since I met that girl
When we're making love
It's something out of this world
Feels so good to know that she's all mine
Gonna love that woman 'til the end of time

Someone to live for
Love me 'til the end of time, yeah, ooh, oh
She makes me feel happy
It's good to know that she's all mine
She's all mine, yeah
Yo, ooh, yeah
