'''"Mama Said"''' is a ] ] by American ] band ] from their sixth album, '']'', with music and lyrics by ] and ]. |
|
'''Mama Said''' is a Metallica song on the band's sixth album, ]. The lyrics, written by ], supposedly represent a man or boy who is learning to find his own way in life away from his mother. The song is almost directly written about James' difficult relationship with his mother, who died of ]. This is evidenced in the line "I took your love for granted" (and now that she passed away it is gone), and "A cold stone is all I see" (all that is left is a gravestone). Hetfield performed this song live on one or possibly more than one occasion on his own, using a single steel-stringed acoustic guitar and no drums or bass. |

The music video for the song features James Hetfield sitting in the backseat of a car while playing the song on an acoustic guitar. The vehicle appears to be driving along a Southwestern highway, and at one point the other members of Metallica are seen outside looking into the window as it passes by. As the song comes to an end, the view pulls back to reveal that Hetfield has been sitting in a stationary backseat inside a studio (probably what was used to film the vehicle scenes and only to make an appearance at end as there are brief appearances of what would be the front seat and windscreen while driving from the driver and passenger's perspective). He then walks over to a horse, takes its bridle, and walks off screen. It was filmed in November 1996 in ], ] and directed by ]. |
