Wednesday's Music Video Extra Vaganza- O Rama


Here's one of my all time favorite songs by The Man In Black. It's a cover of a Nine Inch Nails song. He died a short time after this video was filmed and four months after his wife.
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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus:]
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

Johnny Cash was the man. This not my favorite song of his but he was one of a kind.

I love his rendition of this song too. His voice at the age he recorded it was perfect for the song.
