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. |
