Confusion by Metallica

I am a very eclectic music lover.  I can listen to anything from the soothing sounds of Enigma, to the modern beat of Imagine Dragons, and then turn around and go old school with Metallica's Black album, some Journey, Genesis, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi.  Sometimes I might even throw in a little Lady Gaga.  (Don't judge me)

I will admit, I was rather disappointed by Metallica in the Load/Reload etc era.  As an old school listener - Black Album, Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightening, etc I longed for the gritty throb of their earlier music.

Recently I gave the Hardwired ... To Self-Destruct album a go with Atlas, Rise!  Pleasantly surprised by the return of their depth, I checked out the other songs on the album and came across Confusion.

I was looking for music to listen to while working on my Houston Michael's website and I have to say, it is completely fitting.

It's not often a music video will bring me to the edge of tears - but this one did.  Since it it memorial day, I thought it kind of fitting to share this today.

Check out the lyrics:

"Confusion"

Writer(s): Lars Ulrich, James Alan Hetfield 

Wake to face the day

Grab this life and walk away

War is never done

Rub the patch and battle on

Make it go away

Please make it go away

Confusion

All sanity is now beyond me

Delusion

All sanity is but a memory

My life…

The war that never ends

Leave the battlefield

Yet its horrors never heal

Coming home from war

Pieces don't fit anymore

Make it go away

Please make it go away

Confusion

All sanity is now beyond me

Delusion

All sanity is but a memory

My life…

The war that never ends

Father please come home

Shell shocked all I've known

Father please come home

Label him a deadwood soldier now

Cast away and left to roam

Rapid is the road to sacrifice

Just takes longer to come home

Confusion

All sanity is now beyond me

Delusion

Crossfire ricochets inside me

Trapped in a memory forever

My life…

The war that never ends
