lyrics:

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
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
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
But 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
But I know
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
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
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah!
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

Whenever my uncle came over we would often sit by the fire and he would always play this on the guitar he brought with him he died of a seizure earlier this year, and i miss him so much. This brings back all the good memories with him, i'm sure he's still playing that tune wherever he is.

I bought his tab. It is so hard, took me 10 hours just to learn the first 2 bars of the verse. See you guys next year.

[gamejunk]

Makes you realize that this song is an absolute masterpiece.

Unbelievable that you can write these kind off songs as a singer.

Metallica is legend!

[silvernight]

This is what my boyfriend plays, I fall asleep to it, I love it so much. It's so soothing

[dornob]

I'm impressed. This song is played with a rhythm guitar and a lead guitar and somehow you managed to combine those two roles into one.

[davecoombs]

eargasim... im trying to learn this during lockdown due to COVID19 and its this is the single most impressive version ive heard 11/10

[lottiekins]

Who the hell disliked this? I melt every time I hear it...incredible!!

[KirkJrCofounderwahh]

3:00 chills down my spine and everywhere

[Dos]

Damn, 4:50 solo part is just a bomb. Every single extracted sound has played so detailed and accurate, in perfect time with a perfect speed! That part is a cherry on a top of that cover! Thank you!

[sadman]

That's some high level microphone!

[killlion]

There is only one word that can describe this.

Found this song during a very hard time in my life. I just felt so numb like nothing else mattered. It was a sad hopeless numbness, this video specifically helped me a lot, it comforted me alot. I remember sitting at the terrace looking at the birds in the blue sky flying while playing this song in the background on loop. I love this song since. It's like that specific memory, those strong emotions I was feeling, the wind, the smell, every moment, so vividly is somehow trapped in this cover. It's insane.
Whenever I come back to this video I feel that numbness all over again tho I am in a better place now, it just reminds me a lot of that time and the comfort I felt listening to this song. I grew to love this song and this cover.

[malksc]

I stumbled on this cover accidentally at a time when my anxiety and depression were beating me down and your talent helped me cope.

Thank you.

[shadjohnson]

When I was Little one of my best memories with my dad was him teaching me how to play this..
He commited suicide when I was 10.
This brought back so many memories, I'm crying In my room wishing I could see him one last time...

[marc_spence]

I always like to wonder how a player as good as James would go down if he were sent back to renaissance times and played for a royal audience.

'Here we behold the master craftsman James Bartholomew with his candid interpretation of the Metallica - please my distinguished guests do enjoy.'

[chn]

I can almost hear the words coming out of his guitar

[RoryM]

I love how compared to other fingerstyle players you actually play the song with no novelty type embellishments, just real straight, i think it elevates the guitar as a solo instrument

[smu]

Not going to lie, I was already impressed when you picked the vocals and melody.

Then you did the solo.

Mind. Blown.
