Has anyone ever seen Johnny Cash's cover of NIN song, 'Hurt'? I was raised in a family where we listened to Johnny Cash, talked about him, gossiped about him, fell in love with him, just, the love story between him and June Carter......
To see the video that goes with the song as Johnny Cash sings it....I can't watch it without being moved and tearing up. It does exactly what the song says, it 'Hurts' so sweetly...
"I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel. I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real. The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting. Try to kill it all away, but I remember everything."
"What have I become? My sweetes friend. Everyone I know, goes away in the end. You could have it all. My empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt."
"I wear this crown of thorns, unpon my liar's chair. Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair. Beneath the stain of time, the feeling disappears. You are someone else, I am still right here."
"What have I become? My sweetest friend. Everyone I know, goes away in the end. You could have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt."
"If I could start again, a million miles away. I would keep myself, I would find a way."
Everytime I hear it now, I think of how Johnny Cash was call the Man in Black. How his life was lived. And I remember the character of Severus Snape. And how fitting it was. This song just touches and moves me so much everytime it plays.
