The saddest song..

--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---Hurt is one of Cash's saddest tbh. It lacks the insubstantially light-hearted streak that runs through a lot of the rest of his work, especially after his conversion to christianity.

Especially with the heartbreaking Romanek video, the only failing of which was over-reliance on "Cash=Jesus" imagery.
Oh, and randomly, one more song: the Joe Strummer cover of "Redemption Song."

Why is that the only Johnny Cash song anyone ever talks about? He has songs that would BREAK your heart years before he died.

But I didn't listen to Johnny Cash years before he died. I only started listening to his stuff after the tremendous NIN cover. I grew up with nails, so Hurt already had an impact on me. I started listening to more of Cash's stuff after I was blown away by the cover.
Yes, he does have many, many great and sad songs out there and truly lived a tragic life. Its just that Hurt was my first realization (and introduction) of how amazing of a person and musician he was, so you should be happy about that and now annoyed. He spread to a whole new generation with that song.
