History TearJerker / Motorhead

* The closing title track of ''1916'', a ballad told from the perspective of a soldier fighting in UsefulNotes/WorldWarI. At the end, he mournfully says "And now there's nobody remembers our names..."

* ''White Line Fever'', Lemmy's autobiography, reveals that for [[ReallyGetsAround all the women he's slept with over the years]], he's only had one person he's ever truly loved romantically. [[FirstLove It was his first, too]] - a black girl he met while living in England as a teenager. A heroin overdose resulted in her death, and since then, he's never had any other romantic relationships by the time he himself died. HeartBrokenBadass doesn't begin to cover it.

* [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=YZrntE3vNe8 This cover]] of Ben E. King's "Stand By Me". On top of being one of Lemmy's best vocal performances, it's also very haunting.

* [[https://youtu.be/J06yQb4lbPk Their cover]] of Music/DavidBowie's "Heroes". Especially noteworthy since Lemmy and Bowie died within weeks of each other.

* Lemmy's death on December 28, 2015. Diagnosed with an extremely aggressive cancer two days after his 70th birthday (on Boxing Day, no less), then succumbed to it less than 48 hours later. Made especially bitter by the fact that fans had built up Lemmy as such a MadeOfIron MemeticBadass through the years, that people kinda, sorta had started to believe that he actually couldn't die.

* The lyrics of "Till The End", from Motörhead's last album, ''Bad Magic'', suggest that Lemmy had accepted by that point that he didn't have much time left. [[HarsherInHindsight Turns out he really did know himself like no one else.]]
