"Hurt"

I might be the Last Guy On The Internet to catch this, but have you heard Johnny Cash's cover of the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt"? It's awesome - slow, subtle, moving, haunting - just fantastic. It takes the slow, whispery, heroin-flavored original and infuses it with the regrets of an older man looking back on his life.

Yeah, I so bought it on iTunes this morning.

The fact that Johnny Cash recorded it in 2002 - and it was his last hit before his death in 2003 - makes it even more poignant (it's very much like watching "The Crow" and knowing that Brandon Lee died during the filming).

(Big, big thanks to my friend Anne, who showed me the video last night.)
