Low Man's Lyric
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Low Man's Lyric" is a song written by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich of Metallica, and appearing on the 1997 Metallica album ReLoad. At seven minutes and 37 seconds, it is the second longest song on the album (Fixxxer being the longest at eight and a half minutes). The song's slow tempo is indicative of the band's movement away from its thrash metal origins, and is also unique in the band's oeuvre for its incorporation of a hurdy gurdy played by David Miles. As well, it includes a violin played by Bernardo Bigalli. The lyrics of the song describe a drug-addicted homeless man's thoughts.
