The distinctive shape of the peak in southern New Zealand gives the mountain its name, after the mitre headwear of Christian bishops. It was named by a survey crew from the HMS Acheron.

Singer and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield wrote this song while he was on the phone with his girlfriend at this time. Since he held the phone with one hand, he plucked the four open strings of a standard E-minor chord with the other, which eventually made up the first two bars of the song. The lyrics were also dedicated to his girlfriend, which talk about being “so close, no matter how far”, indicating the bond they shared even when Hetfield was on tour. Initially, the song was not meant to go on the album, and Hetfield had written it for himself, but only after drummer Lars Ulrich heard it was it considered for the record.

The song has now become a staple in Metallica’s live performances, and has been dedicated to their fans. When played live nowadays, the last verse is left out, ending the song with a heavily distorted guitar solo by Hetfield. A live version on which this can be heard can be found on the CD/DVD Orgullo, Pasión y Gloria: Tres Noches en la Ciudad de México. Other live recordings can be found on Live Shit: Binge & Purge and on S&M.

Nothing Else Matters lyrics
Songwriters: Hetfield, James Alan; Ulrich, Lars;

So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Yeah, trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, that’s right

Never opened myself this way
And life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
And nothing else matters, yeah

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for things they say
Never cared for games they play
I never cared for what they do
I never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah yeah yeah

Beyond The Night

Beyond The Night lyrics by Rachel Luttrell

Beyond the night, a rising sun
Beyond the night, the battle’s won
The battle is won.

Fear and shame now in the past
Pain and sorrow gone at last
Gone at last.

Circle renewed, peace will be found
Beyond the night on sacred ground.

River flows, led by the wind.
First new breath, our journey begins
Our journey begins.

Shadow on the wall

The walls the walls are coming down
The here and now is coming round
It will some day let you down
The ships the ships are coming in
The great ideas are wearing thin
There is nothing left to do

“Shadow on the Wall” is a single by musician Mike Oldfield, released in 1983 . It is taken from Oldfield’s album Crises. Roger Chapman performs vocals on “Shadow on the Wall”. The b-side is “Taurus 3″, a short, fast paced guitar piece, which is notably different from Oldfield’s long multi-themed pieces, “Taurus” and “Taurus 2″, on QE2 and Five Miles Out respectively.

Shadow on the wall – Mike Oldfield (album: Crises)

(Video hosted on Youtube.)

Michael Gordon “Mike” Oldfield (born 15 May 1953, Reading, Berkshire) is an English multi-instrumentalist musician and composer, working a style that blends progressive rock, folk, ethnic or world music, classical music, electronic music, New Age, and more recently, dance. His music is often elaborate and complex in nature. He is best known for his hit 1973 album Tubular Bells, which broke new ground as an instrumental album and launched Virgin Records, and for his 1983 hit single “Moonlight Shadow”. He is also well known for his hit rendition of the Christmas piece, “In Dulci Jubilo”. Oldfield has self-recorded and produced many of his albums, and played the majority of the instruments that feature on them, largely at his home studios. In the 1990s and 2000s he has been mainly using DAWs such as Apple Logic, Digidesign Pro Tools and Steinberg Nuendo as recording suites. For composing classical music Oldfield has been quoted as using the software notation program, Sibelius, combined with Apple Macintoshes. He also used the FL Studio DAW on his 2005 double album Light + Shade. Among the mixing consoles Oldfield has owned are an AMS Neve Capricorn 33238 and a Euphonix System 5-MC.

Ghost in This House

How can you tell if there is a ghost in your house? Is it just vibrations from the past or do spirits really haunt some places? Do you know the difference between a spirit and a ghost? If someone asked you the question “Is there a ghost in my house?” how would you reply?

I don’t pick up the mail
I don’t pick up the phone
I don’t answer the door
I’d just as soon be alone
I don’t keep this place up
I just keep the lights down
I don’t live in these rooms
I just rattle around

I’m just a ghost in this house
I’m just a shadow upon these walls
As quietly as a mouse I haunt these halls
I’m just a ghost in this house
I’m all that’s left of two hearts on fire
That once burned out of control
It took my body and soul
I’m just a ghost in this house

I don’t care if it rains
I don’t care if it’s clear
I don’t mind stayin in
There’s another ghost here
She sits down in your chair
And she shines with your light
And she lays down her head
On your pillow at night

I’m just a ghost in this house
I’m just a shell of the man I was
A living proof of the damage heartbreak does
I’m just a ghost in this house
I’m all that’s left of two hearts on fire
That once burned out of control
It took my body, my soul
I’m just a ghost in this house
I’m just a ghost in this house
