Originally a Bob Marley song, but like Hurt, Cash makes it his.


Cash was unique. He could sing anything in any genre and it was natural.

It's hard to believe he's gone because it was always like he'd always been there, everywhere, present in everything.

The "Hurt" video is one of the most powerful videos/vignettes I've ever seen, especially in light of Cash's life. It was definitely his goodbye. June died months after that footage of her standing on the stairs and if you knew anything about J.C., you knew he'd be soon behind.
