Drugi (v resnici pa prvi) komad iz novega albuma Metallice, Death Magnetic, ki nosi poetični naslov The day that never comes, me samo še utrjuje v prepričanju, ki sem ga izrazil že v prejšnjem prispevku.

Za razliko od prvoposlušanega Cyanida je “Dan, ki (mu) nikoli ne pride” na določenih delih mjavkajoča balada, primerna za zaključevanje večerov oziroma crkljanje v dvoje, na drugih (predvsem druga polovica skladbe) pa Metallica pokaže nekaj svojih dobrih starih instrumentalnih prijemov. Na žalost se konec čisto nič ne sklada s preostalimi deli skladbe. Kot da bi ga ponesreči vtaknili sem.

Skladba je zato (logično) za skoraj dve minuti daljša, po “energiji”, ki jo oddaja, pa bi jo umestil med Unforgiven II in Low man`s lyric. Podobnost s prvoposlušano Cyanid lahko zasledimo predvsem v liričnem delu, ki je spet zelo ponavljajoč in dolgočasen. Na sploh se mi zdi, da bo Hetfield na tem albumu posnel komad, kjer bo besedilo zaradi utrujenega glasu govoril oziroma recitiral.

The day that never comes

Work away today, work away tomorrow.
Never comes the day for my love and me.
I feel her gently sighing as the evening slips away.
If only you knew whats inside of me now
You wouldnt want to know me somehow,
But
You will love me tonight,
We alone will be alright,
In the end.

Give just a little bit more
Take a little bit less
From each other tonight
Admit what youre feeling
And see whats in front of you,
Its never out of your sight.
You know its true,
We all know that its true.

Work away today, think about tomorrow
Never comes the day for my love and me.
I feel her gently sighing as the evening slips away.
If only you knew whats inside of me now
You wouldnt want to know me somehow,
But
You will love me tonight,
We alone will be alright,
In the end.

Give just a little bit more
Take a little bit less
From each other tonight
Admit what youre feeling
And see whats in front of you,
Its never out of your sight.
You know its true,
We all know that its true.
