Thank you for your close attention to the video and for waiting for the video to finish before turning it off, I was relieved that you saw him saying goodbye to his beloved piano. The sorrowful woman on the stairs was his wife, who came down to watch as the video was being made. The pain and empathy on her face is beyond words. She passed a couple months after the video was made, and he passed six months after her. The woman in the small photo is either his mother or his wife's mother, to whom he was very close. I have looked it up and found both answers. All the opulent, expensive food sitting ignored and spoiling on the table, I believe represent the useless accumulation of wealth and goods over his lifetime.
"The Man In Black". His career and song list is among the all time greats. My entire life was graced with his music. Great Choice, again. 117. Thanks again.
This was a Nine Inch Nails song written by Trent Reznor. After he heard Johnny's version he said it was no longer his song. Just like when Jimi Hendrix did All Along The Watchtower, Bob Dylan who wrote it said it was no longer his song, it was Jimi's. Yea it's heavy.
Your journey through the realm of Classic Rock has many more groups to experience, at some point you will step through the doorway and discover “The DOORS”. You must start hearing the song that lit a fire and made them legendary… “Light My Fire”… off their first album, then follow with the rest of the album….. “Break On Through”
I cry every time I hear it. When you get older you realize all the things you did and the choices you made are often bad decisions and you hurtled the one you love and loved but you can't erase all that and for some people they finish alone. Maybe they had fun all that time but the cost of it didn't worth it.
The original version by Nine Inch Nails is powerful, in a different way, but even Trent Reznor agreed that Johnny's version was better, and said it was Johnny's song now. At first, I thought this song was a bit different for someone like Johnny Cash to be covering, but he did take it and make it his own. And especially after seeing the video, everybody saw it the way Johnny saw it. And I have to say, that time when this video came out was probably one of the most poignant times in music. So many people loved and respected him. He knew he wouldn't be around much longer. Everybody else knew he wouldn't be around much longer. And in a matter of months he was gone. It was extremely emotional for fans and musicians alike to watch this man so publicly (but beautifully) stare down demons, reminisce, and say goodbye all in one song. It still is at times for me, I try to avoid watching it if I can LOL
Can never listen to this song without shedding a few tears. By far my favorite cover song of all time, followed by Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence
RIP: Johnny Cash 💔🔥U R Missed Here's another artist I think anyone that's a music lover should experience at least once "Mungo Jerry - In The Summertime (ORIGINAL 1970)" Lovely reaction thanks for sharing💖
JM, Do one for the Ladies. Put a smile on your face and your female subscribers, and mine by watching this incredible performance from my all time favorite female singer/song writer, from her own channel.... Coming Around Again / Itsy Bitsy Spider - Carly Simon
He became very aware of his end, near the end of his life. You should react to "When the Man comes around". Its one of his last songs. Full of biblical meaning.
There is so much to say, but this is what you need to understand. This performance and video demonstrate that his life and music had great purpose and worth. Humanity at its musical gutty core. You took on a tough one. Not many of your characteristic smiles, understandably. Nice choice and discussion, JM. That home he was looking into and was later shown flooded was his boyhood home. He wrote a great little song about it called “Five Feet High and Rising” referring to the flood water. I’ll look for a good link and edit this, in case you become interested. EDIT: this one leaves out 1 verse but the video and story telling are the best by far. IMO. th-cam.com/video/lut0i-PCdEQ/w-d-xo.html
The reality is, whatever age we are, we don’t know which day is our last. Johnny Cash in this song was grappling with the reality that Jesus was being nailed to the Cross, as in the images, paying for the sins of those who would repent and call in his name. Jesus taught that “the road that leads to destruction is wide, and many there are that enter in. And the road that leads to life is narrow, and few even find it.“ In our culture that glorifies sin this is a strong reminder that, regardless of what one thinks, he will still stand before God to give an account. And only in Christ is redemption, a redemption that Johnny Cash is now enjoying.

This is a Nine Inch Nails cover. Pretty amazing how well it fit

Closing that piano and touching it the way he did, was saying goodbye to life….he was closing his own casket

Very moving song from a National Treasure

Totally facing his own mortality….when he shut that piano he shutting his casket
☮️💙💙💙😢🔥
The album this is on American IV is a must hear it’s outstanding mainly covers but wow you’ll understand just how good he was
God's Gonna Cut You Down is another good one to check out
Love this song! I wouldn't exactly call myself a fan of Johnny Cash, but some of his stuff is outstanding. Try Ring of Fire and I Walk The Line.

Someday Carly will have over a dozen songs in her playlist. A True Legend.

Make a Playlist for Chambers Brothers - "Time Has Come Today".... so I can find it faster. Thanks
Try his Cocaine Blues, Walk the Line, and Ring of Fire. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks JM!
