🎶Today I woke up with this song in my head for some reason. I listened to the original song from Metallica's 1996 "Load" Album. I then decided to listen to it from the S*M (Symphony & Metallica) Album, which I like better so thought I'd share it with the lyrics. The meaning behind this song can mean so many different things as he sings from his heart.
🎹My interpretation of the song is about somebody going off to war and how the soldier often thinks about his mom and home and as time continues during the fight, it changes the soldier into a different person, whom then struggles with PTSD.
💚I can also see how this song can be interpreted about people looking for a hero, realizing their hero is not who they think that they are or maybe his mom? Either way, I think Hetfield knew it could mean something different for everyone.

Morning Music Reflection 😍
Have a Great Day!

🫶Lyrics:
"Mama, they try and break me

The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they’ve gone
They’re off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone’s wicked way?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?

Mama, they try and break me
Still they try and break me

Excuse me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now, deservingly, this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

Don’t want your aid
But the fist I make
For years can’t hold or feel
No, I’m not all me
So please excuse me while I tend to how I feel

But now the dreams and waking screams
That ever last the night
So build the wall, behind it crawl
And hide until it’s light
So can you hear your babies crying now?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Can't you feel your names?
Can't you hear your babies crying?

But now the dreams and waking screams
That ever last the night
So build a wall, behind it crawl
And hide until it’s light
So can’t you hear your babies crying now?

Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try"

We packed into the mountains of Shoshone National Park/Fishawk Creek in Wyoming by Yellowstone National Park on horseback for 5 days and 4 nights. There was 19 of us that went with 17 pack animals totaling 36 animals all together. This was my 7th pack trip into the mountains that I counted. We then went into Yellowstone for a day to enjoy the beauty and mysteries of nature and all its animals. I thought I’d just drop some pictures to share.
Best,
Lori
