I used to listen to ballads and jazz, classical and country, pop and disco, but very rarely anything else. These days I listen to a larger variety of genres, and it is more the location and non-commercial status of the band that draws me in. One of the bands I did enjoy a decade or so ago that was not in my usual style was Metallica. I think it was originally their videos that pulled me in, but once watching enthusiastically, the tunes just caught onto me.

One song that stands out as important to me is Until It Sleeps. When I first saw the video for the song, I had only heard one or two other songs by the band, which I was neither impressed nor unimpressed by. This song stood out as it seemed to be talking about events in my own life at the time, however. It was just lucky timing, but I was going through a tennis match battle of love between a wonderful lover and an ex who just could not give up. The ex would not let go, despite the fact it was over had been thrust in his face in many forms from vocally to the paper of divorce. He kept on pestering me, trying to grab me out from my life to ruin any happiness that lay around me, and spiritually attacking me. Music has often helped me make it through my tougher times, and this song hit me as being applicable. I wanted my ex and his attempts to hurt me to go to sleep, so I could grab some happiness back in my life again!
