"Since the release of Death Magnetic, \"Suicide & Redemption\" claims the title for longest studio recorded Metallica song released on an album at 9:58, although \"Mercyful Fate\" from Garage, Inc. holds the title for longest studio song at 11:12, though not only is it a cover, it is a medley of 5 different songs. \"To Live is to Die\" contains a few spoken lyrics near the end of the song, coming in at 7:35, that were written by German poet Paul Gerhardt and popularized in the 1981 film Excalibur. The song was written as a tribute to the band's bassist Cliff Burton, who was killed in a bus accident in 1986. The music consists of riffs Burton had written that had not been incorporated into songs prior to his death. The song title is a phrase that Burton was fond of. Hetfield plays the second guitar solo during the slower midsection of the song. This is the last song Metallica released that Burton has a writing credit in, and is the band's only instrumental track with Jason Newsted playing bass guitar. Recently, the title was used in a biography about Burton."@en . "Song"@en . "#ffffff"@en . "#000000"@en . "#000000"@en .
