Johnny Cash -- "Hurt"

You may not be aware of this, but I love me some Johnny Cash. I particularly enjoy his ability to take a song, cover it, and make it a whole new song of sorts, often a better song.

It's an incredibly poignant music video: Cash surveys his whole life as he bravely declares "You can have it all/My empire of dirt." I highly suggest you watch it.




Also a bit ago, Brian Fulton of the Gospel Coalition took this song and replaced the lyrics with what Christ would have said if it were his song. Pretty interesting.
