    "Nothing Else Matters" is a song written and originally performed by James Hetfield of Metallica. It was released in 1992 on Metallica's self titled album. As far as we can tell, this is one of the only a cappella versions of this song and we hope that we've given such an iconic song the treatment it deserves. Thanks again for watching!

    Huh. I always thought this song was a really sad, depressing, nihilistic ballad. I didn't dislike it, but I never heard the message until this version. Wow. Amazing how a different vocal styling can make you LISTEN instead of just HEAR. Beautiful.

I'm *so* glad J was able to join for this one, because his voice is just perfect here. Eli is, appropriately, the absolute rock star of this song. Layne gets to show off in a jaw-dropping way, but I won't spoil that. Cesar's earnest, breathy tone is gorgeous. Geoff is just awesome. I mean always, but a heaping of extra bassy awesomeness here. Such a masterful arrangement and production all around ❤

    Epic Moments in this song:
    All 5 min and 50 sec of it ;)
    But seriously, here’s some of my favorite moments
    0:47 J with those descending arpeggios
    1:03 Eli’s tone in his beautiful lower range
    1:25 J’s smooth and soulful solo
    2:06 I love the pairing of voices for this section-J and Eli harmonizing with their baritone voices while Cesar and Layne blend beautifully in the background with their lighter and breathier tones
    2:32 The background vocals switching between oohs and lyrics
    2:51 Geoff’s hand when he drops a sub
    2:55 Eli’s rock grit while J and Cesar harmonize
    3:21 After Geoff just sang low, he jumps to sing baritone with the group then drops back down
    3:33 The “boom” effect with Geoff’s hand gesture, the camera shake, and Layne and Geoff’s low note-is just *chef’s kiss*
    3:47 Eli's solo
    3:58 Another "boom" visual from Geoff
    4:04 The background vocals for "they play" has so many cool runs in it
    4:17 The stacking of "I know" from Eli at the top to J at the bottom
    4:24 THAT HARMONIZED SCREAM! Eli!
    4:26 Geoff drops a low note while he does an epic hand gesture that makes it look like he created that earthquake with his voice-Geoffquake!
    VIOLAYNE!
    4:41 Eli’s riff in unison with the violin
    4:45 Geoff air-playing the bass guitar
    5:09 The background vocals melt from “ooh” to "who we are"
    5:16 The song returns to how it started with the bell tones while the tempo slows down
    In each instance of the bell tones, one person is not singing. I think Geoff arranged it this way so that at any point in the song, the 4 people can do the bell tones in the background while the other person is soloing.
    I love how at the beginning, Cesar sings the highest harmonies with his breathy tones. But as the intensity of the song goes up, Eli takes over the highest harmonies using his rock tenor voice
    This is a masterpiece of an arrangement-I have no words to describe how amazing this is. Geoff brings us on a journey as he slowly builds the energy of the song to the climax.
    What a way to start the new year!

    If it had been any other a cappella group than Voiceplay I would have had my doubts that this song could even be done in a cappella, not to mention that it takes a lot to do James Hetfield's voice justice. Voiceplay however not only did the song so that the voices blend together in a way that is different from, and yet definitely worthy of James Hetfield, but they also managed to twist it enough to make it completely their own without loosing the essens of this iconic song. What a masterpiece!

They started with Panic at the Disco and Queen (seriously, who dares to start with Queen?), moved on to Prince and a double helping of Imagine Dragons, blessed us with a wonderful spin on Kansas, and then followed that by absolutely nailing the one Aerosmith song everybody knows it's better to just leave alone. Now they start the new year with Metallica?!? They're all going to need new toothbrushes to get the sand out of their teeth if they keep this up, but I for one really hope they don't stop! 🤘🤘
