Johnny Cash: "Hurt"

As this year ends I cannot help but think of those whose words and music influenced and filled my days. Johnny Cash is one of those people. I grew to love his music in the early seventies because my dad loved him. His music was not just considered "country", but music that appealed to those of us who knew what hard times were all about and those of us who rebelled against authority. He was a missive for the forgotten ones. He was indeed, "The Man In Black" and I treasured every moment I spent with my dad listening to his songs, that I now listen to with my own son. So in thinking about him and still to this day listening to his music that spanned generations and genres I am reminded of what he also suffered in his own life that made him stronger and the love he found with June Carter that led him to the words he sang that inspired me, and I miss him.

    • I've always loved the original Nine Inch Nails version of this song. Johnny Cash seems like one of the few people that could do it justice. Seems so rare these days to see someone of his age performing something so dark and powerful. Quite a fitting song and video to round out his career.

      Seems like the embed has been disabled by our good friends at the Universal Music Group. Check out the original at the link below:

    • Thanks for this post of a most beautiful and sad song.
      I think it captures the inner human struggle that many of us go through in life.
