submeat’s top 100 tracks of 2003: songs to download and love
#2 “Hurt,” Johnny Cash (Lost Highway)
Props to Stumpy, who pegged this as a pick-to-click by placing it in his 2002 list. Cash takes a Trent Reznor classic – about heroin addiction, no less – and just fucking owns it, turning it into a virtual valedictory for his life. I shed a tear the first time I saw the video, and got choked up everytime I saw it after the Man in Black’s passing. Just as classic as “Ring of Fire,” and just as timeless; we’ll be listening to this in 50 years, I’m certain. You can’t help but be moved by “Hurt,” period.
