Johnny Cash – Hurt

I originally heard this tune shortly after Johnny released the album American IV: The Man Comes Around. It blew me away! It wasn’t till after Cash died that I watched the video and it elevated the song to a whole new level. The lyrics combined with the visuals really triggered the emotions. Hurt is a tune from Nine Inch Nails and was written by Trent Reznor. It is about dealing with drug addiction. Johnny took those very same lyrics and made them about his life. It is hard to watch the video and listen without tearing up.

Foul Lyrics

There are tunes I’d love to include in a playlist, but they contain too many foul words not suitable for the bus. I’m not against foul language as I do use it myself, but there is a time and a place. Having said that, I will say I try my best to keep things clean, but every so often I come across a song with one or two words that need to be dealt with. If I find those words, I use a tool called Audacity to bleep them out. If I missed one let me know and I’ll clean it up.
