Obscure Music Friday



Song: Hurt

Artist: Originally done by Nine Inch Nails, this is a remarkable cover by Johnny Cash

Why I Like It: This song is magically transformed by Mr. Cash, and this is the last video he did before his death. It is a beautifully done piece regarding the folly of mortality, or rather, the folly in believing in immortality. Powerful, powerful . . .

It's funny how the original version does nothing for me but Johnny Cash's version gives me chills. It's powerful.
