Johnny Cash - Hurt

[cheeni]

This song makes me want to listen to Cash all over again. The song is powerful, the imagery is apt, and Cash's voice grabs your attention. I'm wonderstruck at the transformation Cash has brought into Trent Reznor's lyrics. Imagine the song being about a crack head, and then watch Johnny transform that into being about a man in pain reflecting on the glory days of youth and making peace with the maker.

Why do I blog such sad thoughts? Perhaps I find sorrow more meaningful than happiness. Or maybe I am just too busy to blog when I am happy. I'll have to admit, realizing life is meaningless when you are at the end of your days isn't being very bright.
