Thanks for watching this cover of "Tom Sawyer" by Rush. Tom Sawyer is the title character of the Mark Twain novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Rush’s drummer Neil Peart co-wrote the lyrics to “Tom Sawyer” with Pye Dubois, lyricist for the band Max Webster. Peart explained: "[Pye’s] original lyrics were kind of a portrait of a modern day rebel, a free-spirited individualist striding through the world wide-eyed and purposeful. I added the themes of reconciling the boy and man in myself, and the difference between what people are and what others perceive them to be – namely me I guess." Click Follow!

Thanks for watching this cover of "One" by Metallica. The fourth track on Metallica’s classic, …And Justice for All, is based on the novel Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo. There, Joe Bonham, a soldier in World War I, is hit by a landmine explosion that takes away his limbs and face, and becomes a prisoner in his own body – Joe lost his senses and can’t communicate, but is still kept alive by the medical crew. Thus the lyrics follow his plea to be put out of his misery. A specific passage that inspired the song is: "How could a man lose as much of himself as I have and still live? When a man buys a lottery ticket you never expect him to win because it’s a million to one shot. But if he does win, you’ll believe it because one in a million still leaves one. If I’d read about a guy like me in the paper I wouldn’t believe it, cos it’s a million to one. But a million to ONE always leaves one. I’d never expect it to happen to me because the odds of it happening are a million to one. But a million to one always leaves one. One." “One” marked the first time Metallica did a music video for their songs. The video featured footage from the film adaptation of Johnny Got His Gun directed by Trumbo himself, which the band bought the rights for to make incorporating it easier. Click Subscribe! Lyrics: [Verse 1] I can't remember anything Can't tell if this is true or a dream Deep down inside I feel to scream This terrible silence stops me Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That there's not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now [Chorus] Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me [Verse 2] Back in the womb it's much too real In pumps life that I must feel But can't look forward to reveal Look to the time when I'll live Fed through the tube that sticks in me Just like a wartime novelty Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me [Chorus] Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me [Short Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Now the world is gone, I'm just one Oh, God help me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, help me [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Darkness imprisoning me All that I see, absolute horror I cannot live, I cannot die Trapped in myself, body my holding cell Landmine has taken my sight Taken my speech, taken my hearing Taken my arms, taken my legs Taken my soul, left me with life in Hell

Thanks for watching this cover of "Resistance" by Muse. In the September 2009 issue of Spin, Matt said: It is very much based on the book ‘1984’ by George Orwell particularly the romance between Winston and Julia and the description of the act of sex and love as something political, the only place offering freedom from Big Brother. The song is also about any love which crosses boundaries such as religion or strong political beliefs and the subsequent recognition of the unimportance and divisiveness of such beliefs. 1984 is fear utopia about technological harm.
