LYRICS
In a mirrored room
All alone I stand
Strip away the phantom fame
Exposing all sides to see
The good and bad in me
In a mirrored room
All alone I stand
Seeing past the flesh and bone
The shame and the fear I hide
Could I show you what’s inside?
Would you
Criticize, scrutinize
Stigmatize my pain?
Would you
Summarize, patronize
Classify insane?
So I stand here
Before you
You might judge
You might just bury me
Or you might set me free
In a mirrored room
Talking to myself
And the voices pushing back
I’ll let them inside my heart
But they’ll tear it all apart
In a mirrored room
Just a simple man
Naked, broken, beat, and scarred
What do I really know?
That fear of letting go
Would you
Criticize, scrutinize
Analyze my pain?
Would you
Summarize, patronize
Classify insane?
So I stand here
Before you
You might judge
You might just bury me
Or you might set me
Or you might set me free
Would you
Criticize, scrutinize
Ostracize my pain?
Would you
Summarize, patronize
Classify insane?
So I stand here
Before you
You might judge
You might just bury me
Or you might set me
Oh, please won’t you set me free

#metallica #RoomOfMirrors #72Seasons - เพลง
I ANIMATED and directed this music video for Metallica. this is one of my proudest moments in my 8 year career as a music video director! Thank you and I hope everyone enjoys both this and "SHADOWS FOLLOW" \m/
Yooo really? Holy shit! Sick man!
You deserve every medal in the book
GOOD JOB HOMIE
Well f*ckin done!!
Great❤
Great job man.
That harmonizing guitars with the double bass at 4:56 was the highlight of the album for me. Really hit me.
Stunning moment, and all of that after an amazing "Set me free!" by James, gave me chills
Agreed. Easily the best part of the album.
Real cool part.
Me and my son were just listening to this one and those double guitars have a Maiden feel to them. So great!
And this is sad when the highlight of the album is a part of 10 seconds
The last "set me free" is pure feeling
Oh man! I'd be yelling that part so loud if they play it live!
From another world!
Sends chills down my spine everytime

Tam 3:59
In 2018 I lost my dear brother unexpectedly and tragically.
Before that tradegy we would both skip work anytime a new Metallica album would come out. From Load to Hardwired- we would both take off a day from our jobs to immerse ourselves in the latest Metallica release.
My brother had no musical background, but he adored harmonized guitars from Metallica- think Orion or Misery. For whatever reason you guys would touch his soul with those harmonized guitars. He should say that it "punched him in his gut". He had an excellent ear for epic melodies.
While listening today at the harmonized parts I was reminded that my brother would have loved this tune.
I wept like a baby for the first time since he passed while listening to this track.
I doubt this would ever reach the band, but today because of this song his son and I decided to finally spread his ashes.
I have a deep connection with the Thin Lizzy "Black Rose" in regards to my now passed Mother. Now I can say I have a bit of closure that I desperately needed for my brother because if this song.
I know he would say, "damn that sounds good" in regards to those harmonized guitars and double drum beats.
I thank Metallica for giving me a little peace regarding my brother's passing.
Thank you so much. He would have loved this song. His son and I will play it when we spread his ashes.
I would give anything to listen to this with him. I have hope that will be reality one day.
Thank you guys for giving me an epic melodious harmony that will continoulsy remind me of my dear brother... his name was Eddie and he loved Metallica.❤
@Metallica
Lets hope it does
Idk how to tag them
I weep ...i wish you peace.
RIP EDDIE
🤍
This is the "Spit Out The Bone" of 72 Seasons. Absolutely brilliant.
Interesting comparison. The way Mirrors explodes into dual guitar harmonies near the end, that does give me a majestic soaring sensation much like the "stop breathing and dedicate to me!" section of Spit Out the Bone.
Totally.
Or Moth Into Flame.
Definitely
I think this one's a better banger live for some reason.
One of the best songs from the album
In my opinion, the best on the album
Yes
Super enjoyable but as soon as I heard it, I head the ride the lightning vocal melody
@@airheadaussie0692 It sounds nothing like Ride the Lightning.
Really?? Well I'm glad I didn't buy it...
Cliff would be proud of these harmonies at 4:44 ❤
This is why metallica still stands strong, what wouldve metallica been without cliff
@@TheLeftJoystick 🤘
I miss that guy so damn much man. I still remember the day I woke up and then saw on the news that he died; cried for hours.
@@user-qs2kc1uw7xi know for a fact you were not alive in 1986
the harmony at 3:36 makes my soul to leave my body and wander the realm of my dreams
for me, this part makes me want to cry with happiness that I can feel such beautiful emotions
SOOOO DOOOPEE
Same with a similar in Atlas Rise!
Goosebumps
I love it too, but it is not just budget Iron Maiden?
@@BillBlazejowski Metallica is doing harmonizig riffs ever since RTL days... Remember Fight Fire With Fire... James said Cliff introduced him with harmony
For me, Metallica is best band of all time..Their music helped me to make the hardest days of my life so much easier to bear. You may love them, you may not. But one thing is undeniable that they will always be remembered
Same here
Long live Metallica and thank you for all the help in life
Same here
Same dude we're the Metallica family
Я всегда знал, что Металлику слушали только истинные фанаты в СССР. Фор ми, май френд, ай андерстенд ю.)) ]))
3:36... I can't stop listening
The part at 4:43 might be one of the best vocal lines James has ever done in his entire career. Mixed with the harmonized guitars there, it makes me absolutely ASCEND.
I get goosebumps every time.
My fav part
This song is just awesome, i don't understand how it wasn't a single lol. It's short and one of the catchiest on the album, perfect for a single. Way better than Darkness and Screaming Suicide.
That's literally the only thing I don't like about this song. James vocal melody here strays off key.
This is an absolute superb song, all except for that one annoying bit
Free eee eee YEAH YEEAAH! Goosebumps everytime
For me this is the best song on this album. It's different, refreshing , somewhat innovative
For me this song reminds me of cliffs riffs like the harmony at the end
I completely agree
4:43 - That "Please won't you set me free" right into the melodic lead.. perfection!
I animated that part, woo!
👍🏼
@@jae55555 o:
It is and that part is now my new ringtone.
I can already see myself jumping and singing that riff. An absolute banger!
4:56 That double harmony with Lars's double bass just made me cry literally
Literally made me lose my mind with joy, can't lie!
Me too !! Perfection!!!
me too! literally cry.. that moment is the soul of the new record
are you wearing sandals?
I know the feeling!
i was assistant editor and worked hands on with the team on this project with Metallica! i gotta say it really came out amazing, please thank you to all, this track was just absolute phenomenal. during one of our lunch breaks we had kfc, james and lars comes walking in and james grabbed a chicken wing, one of the techs says in a growl 'spit out the bone', everyone just started laughing and james just stops looks and smiles. these guys are just absolutely amazing, thank you again guys 👏
In my humble opinion, this is Metallica's best Thrash/Speed Metal song since 1988! Thankyou you Guys for creating such a masterpiece. It's got riffs, hooks, melody. It's got it all!...
Why is James 2008 James in these videos? Makes no sense.
yeah i doubt it
Sure
The video and the animation is amazing, the only little nitpicky that I have is the lack of James' distinct pick grip, which is with the first three fingers, rather than just the forefinger and thumb. Great story, love it
This is an instant classic.
I got to work on this with a team of incredible animators! - so touched so many of you like it 🤘🤘
The animation was golden, so is the song!
PLEASE OH PLS collab again with them on Crown of Barbed Wire! It would be bloody spectacular!
Great work buddy ❤
Wonderful Job, would love to see more metal videos with your style
Is it just me or does this animation give off some major anime vibes
54 years old and I’m speechless, the best part is I’m enjoying this with my teenage kids! New album is incredible!
I'm 52. i must be too old, I haven't liked any album they've released since Load. I haven't heard anything interesting on this one either. I think Cliff was their musicality.
I am 35 Years old.
@@davidpearson6346 How much is fish in China? This 59 year old would like to know… 😂
Soon 57 😉 they still catch me 💥
It’s nothing. Who cares. I think bots are putting up comments.
This song contains the spirit of every element that made Metallica the legends that they are. Goosebumps.
Goosebumps as well for myself
Agreed
How some people think this isn't one of the best songs off this album, is madness to me
Yeah, it's a great song... an insta-favorite of mine!
@@adamfairbrother2887 😮
This and Inamorata are the most fresh and innovative songs in the album. They really bring something new to Metallica discogrpahy
I like both song but they are nothing new
The tear jerkers on the album
Those are my two favorites too. Has older Metallica feel with the maturity of new Metallica.
Well this isn't what I saw at the premiere. But it's definitely a welcome change! Awesome work from the animators here! Incredible stuff!
Yes! I thought there will be 8-bit music video😂
Wait, they didn't show the music video there?
@@Maggai at the global premiere was another video, something like an old computer game with satan
@@MashaMorningsstar Oh, wow. That's very interesting! Wonder if they will upload the alternate version as well...
@@Maggai who knows)but this video is definitely better than what we saw! maybe they just didn't have time to finish it for the global premiere
As long as Metallica are around, my life will never be boring
True
If you like the uninspired crappy kliché music Metallica is making these days...................your life is already boring mate.......
@@onkelmarvin8360 true brother
@@onkelmarvin8360 agreed. but This song is one the goods. i kinda like it. there are overall 3-4 songs I like from the album.
It is boring if you have to rely on a washed up band to make it better.
From 2:45 till the end of the song this is peak Metallica performance 🥹 absolutely killed it!!!!!
Man, this album rules. I liked Hardwired, but I LOVE 72 Seasons. The lads really delivered.
Agree!
Mad lads they are indeed. James laughed in a recent interview when bringing up the fact that they all said fuck it let's keep making fast heavy music and bury ourselves further than they already are, age and physical limitations be dammed.
Agreed!!
I am in agreement at first I liked hardwired more but now I think 72 seasons is the better album.
Fu** yea
The harmony in this song is just epic. Best song in the album imo
Yup, and just like Spit Out The Bone they will resist what the crowd really wants them to play, you'll hear this live in 3-4 years haha
@@USMCTexan Sad but True
All 20 seconds of it 😅
Best harmony since Blackened imo
42 years later and you gotta respect how amazing they still are
They are amazing, will always love them.
Metal Militia 🤘
Because they are not out to proof to anyone or please anyone but themselves
huh? metallica died like 30 years ago.
@@derekjensen7652 so 30 years ago would be like " i disappear" days... why are you even here, if they are dead?
3:36 This exact harmony by Kirk is the best thing in this album ❤
Agreed!!
The Best of the whole album
Best track on the album, and that is saying something, because they're all bangers.
Not one bad song, thats right.
This was actually my least favorite one after the first listen in the cinema, but it's growing on me very quickly!
@@heinhoogerbrugge4074 The growers are the best ones!
The harmonizing at the end of the song, James’ scream, Lars’ double bass, it is beautiful!! that is Metallica!!!🤘🏻
This must be one of the best true thrash songs Metallica have released in decades!
for me spit out the bone best thrash song by Metallica in 21st century
@@vladcrisstrue. But this song is great. Punk + Metal
@@MP-lq1vy also all nightmare long, yea room of mirror very nice
this is not thrash, but it more like heavy metal. still amazing song
That final ”won’t you set me free” gives me GOOSEBUMPS each time I listen. So good.
This is one of those albums that gets better every time you listen to it!
And there you go, the magic of Metallica!
I hope so. This is the only one I listened to completion. Got a couple more to hear.
Absolutely!!!! I jammed the fuck out of the album today and yes I'm getting fired the fuck up!!!!!
This should have been the second or third single...
True! For some reason the non singles are the highlights of the album
I love how much James has opened up in this album. I've seen a new side of him that I never knew was there before. A lot of his lyrics are super relatable and real, and I can really feel all of the emotions and struggles he is going through. Listening to this album in theaters for the first time really helped me reflect on my life, and I've got a feeling that this is the album that will help get me through the next few months. Life sucks, but at least I have Metallica to keep me company
very true sir!! this album here is a lot more intimate and emotional record. and i'm not complaining 🤘🤘🤘
Uhmm.. he opens up on EVERY album. It's what he does.
@@FILTHOUNDS I know, but I feel like this album he really opened up. he wrote so many relatable lyrics and I'm so glad for that. I wasn't saying that he doesn't open up at all in other albums, I was just saying that this one really stood out to me
@@FILTHOUNDS also, if you were to compare these lyrics to those on kill em all, this one is a lot more emotional and real . I love kill em all tho
I’m sure it’s rough for him being super rich and having the biggest band in the world. He deserves his success but I’d rather hear awesome lyrics like he used to write.
The whole stretch from 4:01 to the end is absolutely bonkers. Best song on the album, hands down
The scream at 4:43 gave me goosebumbs
@@linedropperable Ive heard way More heavy metal Songs in my live,Than you will surely ever Hear
@@linedropperable Oh youre mad asf
Love that quick moment at 1:32 where there is the animated visual of all the band members quickly morphing into skeletons and throwing the horns up. I grew up with this band in the past 8 years and I'm gonna be 20 soon. They've been a good part of my 72 seasons! I'll love em forever
I drew those shots - preciate it jefe' means a lot!
@@RudeJackArt I was trying to stop in the frame where you could see the faces, very nice stuff !
Also, do you know if the flying eye has anything to do with TF2 (monoculus) ? Reminded me of the game, and I saw you had a couple of videos on your channel around TF2
@@newme1589 hahaha that is complete coincidence I had nothing to do with that but now I can't unsee it - I just happen to be a TF2 fan lol
Bunch of "Eddies" from Iron Maiden discography 😆
Best band to ever walk the earth..and they are brilliant live seen them 15 times each 1 an experience
3:36 that solo...love it.
That's a riff
@@andremourapassos319 It Is an harmonisation, it can be considered a solo.
@@andremourapassos319 👍
Who wrote it ?
@@Taxable_Trophy harmonies are mostly written by hetfield but since this album James let the others members have more input in the song (more than just riff) I can't say for sure who wrote it, we must wait for the "making of" vids
The music video gives the song the extra dimension it needed. Probably the most chills on the back moments as soon as James screams “set me free” right before the 4 melody section.
Same!!!
For sure. It's strange how much the video made me like the song more in the end lol . An odd feeling I don't usually get with a lot of songs but this is definitely one of em. Especially seems like a lot of the tracks here on this album got better after a few listens to them , this one got me hooked more easily than some of the other tracks , easily one of their best songs they made period
Few expected this from Metallica. In my opinion, they shut the mouth of many critics with this album. One of the best releases of the year.
hahahaha dont pull my leg blind fan...
They didnt, the album suffers from the same problems as the last one, lack of editorial becuase they dont have a strong producer and have infinite studio time, shitty solos and drums that are way too basic.
¿how much does Metallica staff pay you to comment that bullshit?
@@homerc9101just because something is basic does not mean it’s shitty
@@senatuspopulusqueromanus543no your the fake blind tan who can’t be pleased
Best track on the album! Hetfield's vocals are insane. Incredible animated visuals for the video!
I totally agree!
Wow I am completely blown away from the animation and this song is really good. 10/10 would listen to it over and over again.
Same here, it goes on repeat.
What a song
yes I would listen to the animation too
Oh ikr?! The greatest graphics I've seen in a long time, and this song is badass awesome!!!
Always and forever Metallica.
honestly this is one of the best songs of the album. i seriously love it!
Agreed!!
✅
The best song from 72 Seasons (in my opinion) gets an amazingly awesome music video to go with it! Metallica has been a huge part of my life and I'll keep on rocking with Metallica until the day I die! 🤘🧡✨🇨🇦
Same here, the video was the best one i have seen of them. The song is also really good.
This song has been on repeat all day. This song has so much fire behind it it can’t be extinguished 🔥🔥
Haaaa!! Me too! This is old School Metallica Speed Metal. It sounds like a song from the 1980s...
Same here, cannot stop to listening to this song !
Minha echodot já pediu se não quero ouvir outra música 😂
Addictive as fk 😝😝👌
I keep singing it in my head
No words to explain how great they are. Metallica are the best.
This song sounds like 80s melodic punk rock/crossover. I love it.
That's a cool way to look at it. Thanks
CANNOT believe how amazing this album is.
One of the greatest albums of the 2020s, the Yellow Album!🔥🤘🤘🤘🔥
Love and respect from Iran❤️🩶💚
One year ago today, i listened to my favorite 72 seasons song and was basically the happiest day of my 2023 since then
I've watched this video 40,000 times.
Long time fan here. This song is so f*cking good. One of the best they've written. Bold, I know, but goddamn. The rhythm, that vocal line, the timing changes, the subtle wah, the maiden/lizzy influences, the thrash beats, all of it. ❤
I agree
This is a masterpiece
That last minute is perfection
This song is perfect ..30 plus years and still they can write a masterpiece
Best song on the new album 👍
I agree. This and Spit Out the Bone are in a different league from the rest of the last two albums.
I felt the intro sounded like Rainbow influenced
drums are killing
We need a bonus disc with 30 min of that harmonized guitar, plus double bass at 4:50
Great solo from Kirk, he immediately elevates the song to a new level where it stays until the end.
Fan of Metallica since Kill 'em all. It is amazing they are even more popular now! Keep going strong Metal Heads!
Who thought that that was even possible?
Well, they went many ways with their music, so brought in loads of fans ....
@@metal4lifewp I kinda liked knowing how awesome Metallica is when most folks did not even know the name Metallica,
@@Shiljamannn Their growth is due to their amazing talent and creativity. Genius must grow!
That's a huge load of an overstatement. Metallica were never bigger than the black album Era and let's be honest: they haven't been relevant since st.anger.
This was definitely the most unique music video during the cinematic experience. It was quite interesting
Yes daddy! Uuuuuhh
@@LukeBartonABCsourmilk ??? Sorry, Im gonna go get the milk real quick brb 🏃
@@longkniives yeah
@@longkniives die they promised it?
They showed completely different music videos at the cinema event though, Chasing Light was literally just black and white pixels
The last part of this song is phenomenal
This entire album is fire. That change @3:37 is monumental.
1:58 fav part right there
Yeah it’s cool
The minute I heard those harmonized guitars in the end, I had a huge smile on my face.
This song has sprinkles of 80's Metallica in it.
3:36 👈 The 'Goosebump' moment we all look for in each Metallica album.
The guitar harmonies in the last two minutes of the song are literally the best part of any song on this entire album. And that coming from someone who knows literally nothing about music theory and goes from pure gut feeling.
The drums are amazing in this album. After my third listen I like it more and more.
Still missing the 17 and 18 toms on Lars' drumkit, that made Metallica drum sound huge and fat.
Lars' drumming for the chorus is incredible for me
All-time great Metallica song. The riffs, drums, vocals, lyrics, everything is just perfect.
This is actually a very good song. I'm glad they wrote something so straightforward.
3:59 - 4:27 Here the drums just go nuts and, technical-wise, it does sound like something from Lars's older fills and tricks! :) This one is especially cool 4:13-4:15
I've been a Metallica fan since the early 80's when a friend that was into metal played me a live cassette tape by the band. This song in on par with some of their best hits. Super impressed that age has not impacted your art gentlemen.
its like disposable héroes with am I evil intro, some of black Sabbath and finishing with killer power metal
Everytime I listen to the ending of this song I cry. One of the most beautiful melodies composed in human history
Oh God
@Criag Flowers I know right 🤦
6 months after the release this is pretty much the only song from the album I still listen daily.
It's one of the strongest ones
@@vinceyrankings yup. If it only had a distinct killer riff instead of power cord strumming it would be one of the greatest they've done. Now its just a strong song :D
same
I like the "broken, beat, and scarred" line. Feel like it's a direct shoutout to the track with the same name on Death Magnetic.
Metallica is a religion. I feel like a child in Christmas again. I have not been that happy in a long time. Thank you Metallica 🔥🤘
It is the only true religion!😊
Best song on the Album
Yes, it is
Cliff Burton is smiling with a bright light upon you Metallica nothing makes him happier then this.
When you see "This is my personal favorite song on the album" being commented by multiple people on every one of 12 tracks released to TH-cam, you know that the Mighty Metallica have indeed released their best album in 30 years and that's an amazing thing. Rock on Metal Gods! ❤
the best album in 30 years isn't saying much
@@ridenar1456bruh
I actually said the same thing to my friends! It's crazy to think that each song managed to resonate with so many people in such a way!
@@ridenar1456 nah man. The only album I’d say isn’t that good is st anger
Confirmation bias,
Not just the best of the album, easily one of their all-time greatest, the guitar harmony was AJFA/RTL epic
All time, lol.
Whoever made this music video seems kewl 😽
Was it you? I feel like it was you...
Yeah lets get em!
@@impetus_aus idk peep the description
Very nice work
This is Metallica's best music video!!! Great job.
That last power chord progression after the harmony is so damn amazing! Gets me freaking pumped 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Harmonies at it's finest can't wait to hear this live!!🤘🤘
1:24 aint gonna lie, the way Robert Trujillo looks like in these shots animated, they made him pretty buff to the point where he starts to look like the singer of Dethklok lol especially in the Awaken video
I was convinced Chasing Lights was my favorite, but Room of Mirrors takes the place. Awesome jam, just perfect
my favorite songs from "Trujillo" era of Metallica
what i think is pretty cool about the end is not just the fantastic harmony and the last "set me free", but when he sings that, you see the padded room start spinning, and later on it shows James going crazy in there trying to get out, with that riff playing i think its a super cool moment
Awesome to see the reaction to this one. I was one of the 2:44 heads of 3d for this project and gotta say a lot of love and passion was put into these visuals! Awesome team with awesome directors that got us the opportunity! Metallica killed this track of course that goes without saying 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fucking chills, the whole song is just pure chills. This song is so underrated its astonishing, best song on the album, top 15 metallica songs ever. NO doubt
Without a doubt. Best on the album
When that part comes when james scream "freeee!" and the double bass and lead guitar comes in is EPIC
Best Song on the album. I'm totally obsessed with it 🤟
4:44 - 5:08 Wish they´d have extended more seconds or minutes this part a bit more.
Just love this part because for some reason makes me think of Cliff: He was who taught James how to harmonize when he was in the band. This part makes me feel so happy and emotional.
One of my favorite twelve songs on the record!
Think this is my favorite track on the album rn
This video was definitely Kirks idea.
That climax after the last chorus when the double bass comes in with those beautiful harmony guitar parts, SO FRICKIN EPIC!!!!!🤘🤘🤘
So badass, my new ringtone =)
Top 3 of this album... A piece of beauty!!!
ONE OF THE BEST METALLICA SONGS!
I heard the all album, and when the last song finished I was amazed how in 2023 Metallica still create something so deep and great!!!
interesting. because I was amazed how repetitive and boring it gets.
@@hadi_drums Doesn't sound repetitive at all... Album is distinct, it has infuences from everywhere...
Their worst album EVER!
@@epoxy1710 St Anger any doubt !!
@@jorgecruz4412 St.Anger songs as My World, Sweet Amber, Some Kind of Monster and Frantic puts this whole album to shame. At least St.Anger was catchy and had soul. This album feels as it was made digitally and within 6 months.
Best song of the album!👌🏼
This song is to 72 Seasons, what Spit Out The Bone was to Hardwired. Metallica showing they still have it!
3:36 makes me feel like I’m ascending to a higher plain of existence
That's what good music does my friend 👍
