Thank you all for riding along on this journey through the life of Johnny Cash. It has been an awesome journey. We must never forget what he did for us all through his music. We love you Johnny, wherever you are now.

The ninth and last song for my ”A Life In Black: A Tribute To Johnny Cash” series is here! "Hurt" is originally written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). Johnny made a cover of it at the end of his life. That's the version we all know today. The video alone is incredible and has brought tears to my eyes many times now. I did this song in 2016 as well after some rough times in my life. But it didn't feel right if I'd skip doing it again. I have some weird connection to this song that makes feel afraid of singing it, kind of. It was the hardest song to record mentally. But I really love to sing it as well. It makes me feel many things while it brings images to my mind. No one can do it better than Johnny did though, this is purely a honoring of his work. But I anchor my own life to it in a way as well.

LYRICS
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
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And 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
