Even though this song was written by singer and rhythm guitarist of the band Metallica, James Hetfield, to his former girlfriend, it has a huge impact on my personal life, as I can connect my personal life and work life very well to the lyrics of the song.

It is the very reason why I decided to pen down my feelings and views about life. The day Oct.13, the very day when I decided to enter the world of blogging, there was some tremendous force backing me up. It was nothing but the force of my inner self, which can be addressed by different names, viz., self determination, confidence, mental strength etc. etc. Call it anything, but I just know that its my inner voice, the force behind me...

This realization came to me via an incident which is not worth describing on this screen. Anyways, it was a lesson for lifetime.

Its this inner force that I was talking about. It constantly manifests itself through our actions, knowingly or unknowingly.

For this inner force, nothing else matters!!!!Only the true self matters.......

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



Never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words I don't just say



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 say

never cared for games they play

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

No, nothing else matters
