La música de Johnny Cash

Cuando vi por primera vez el video de la canción Hurt interpretada por Johnny Cash me senti realmente conmovido. Esta canción es original de Trent Reznor de Nine Inch Nails. En la voz de Cash esta canción adquiere un significado muy especial. En el blog de Guerrilla Pop publican una excelente reseña del disco de Johnny Cash en donde se incluyó la canción Hurt. No dejes de ver el video de Hurt .

Hurt

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

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And 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
Upon my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And 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
