Go To


1	* The closing title track of ''1916'', a ballad told from the perspective of a soldier dying on [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI the first day of The Battle of the Somme]]. At the end, he mournfully says "And now there's nobody remembers our names..."
2	-->I heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees\
3	Coughing blood as he screamed for his mother\
4	And I fell to his side, and that's how we died\
5	Clinging like kids to each other
6	* 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.]]
7	* "Lost in the Ozone" from ''Bastards'', a somber song about a lonesome castaway which can also work as a parallel with many people's experiences of major depression and loneliness:
8	-->Alone and crying, and a thousand miles astray\
9	Alone upon the cruel sea, forsworn and cast away\
10	I turned my face to God, but his face was turned away\
11	Lost in the ozone, nothing left to say...
12	* At the 2016 Grammy Awards, the supergroup Hollywood Vampires, which included Music/AliceCooper, Creator/JohnnyDepp and [[Music/{{Aerosmith}} Joe Perry]], performed a tribute to Lemmy, [[ShrineToTheFallen during which they shined the spotlight on a setpiece]] showing [[IconicItem Lemmy's bass guitar and amp, as well as his boots and hat]].
13	* [[https://youtu.be/J06yQb4lbPk Their cover]] of Music/DavidBowie's "Heroes". Especially noteworthy since Lemmy and Bowie died within weeks of each other.
14	* [[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.
15	* ''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.
