Una gran canción. Hurt, por Johnny Cash

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
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
i wear my crown of shit
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
i cannot repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
i am still right here
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
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
Mejora la versión original, al convertirla Johnny Cash en su canto del cisne. De las mejores interpretaciones que he tenido el honor de poder admirar. Sólo por esta versión, deberíamos recordarle. Disfrutadla, y sentidla, pues parece que estuvo esperando para poder cantarla, interpretarla, y grabarla en la memoria colectiva. El vídeo, otro testimonio.
