Mettallica - Orion

Just instruments...

Metallica - Fade To Black

Metallica wrote this after their equipment was stolen in early '84 and they had to start all over again. More specifically, James Hetfield wrote the lyrics in response to one of his amps being stolen. Not only was this amp his favorite, but it was also the first amp he ever owned so it had a lot of sentimental value to him. The song is about losing everything and wondering if it is worth going on.

The song's title is never mentioned in the lyrics, although the Metallica song "The Memory Remains" on their 1997 album Reload does have "fade to black" in the lyrics.

Bob Marley - Legalize Marijuana

Listen to Bob, he knows what he's saying ;)




PS: The song is actually written by Peter Tosh, not Bob Marley.

Uriah Heep - Look At Yourself

From the same album as "July Morning", also named "Look At Yourself".

Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World

Intended as an antidote for the increasingly racially and politically charged climate of everyday life in the United States, this song also has a hopeful, optimistic tone with regard to the future, with reference to babies being born into the world and having much to look forward to.

Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven

Is this the best song ever, or what?

Accept - Winter Dreams

A power ballad from their 1983 album Balls to the Wall.
