Current mood: thoughtful
Current music:Hurt - Johnny Cash

This song is just beautiful.
I defy you to listen to it and not be moved.

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

Yes, that song hurts - causes a big lump in my throat every time.

Yup. I'll class it up there with Angie by the Stones and At My Most Beautiful by REM under 'beautiful, moving songs'.

Beeyootiful icon, thanks! ;)

Haven't heard Angie yet *blush* but there's loads of those. Like *thinks hard* In The Ghetto by Elvis Presley. And REM - *loves*

Heeeh I'm glad you like it! I just thought i'd try my luck! :p

Are you in EDinburgh or Glasgow right now? Lucky you - living in the same town as Billy. I wanna visit you! :p

It's really sad - it's about the break-up of a relationship, even though they both still love one another... *sniff* I'll look out for it next time I'm home - I'm in Glasgow just now. (It's so weird, yet cool having two places to call home!) You should come and visit!

I wanna! And then we go and stalk Billy.

I stil hate myself for being too scared to spend a semester in Edinburgh because I want to so bad!


So, which city do you like better? :o)

Even if you don't spend a semester in Scotland, you could still visit sometime!

I don't really know - I really like Edinburgh, because I grew up there, and know it well, and because (during holidays, at least) most of my friends live there. But Glasgow has a whole different feel to Edinburgh, particularly the area that University's in - it's more cosmopolitan, and exciting - though maybe not as scenic.

I'm embarrassed to say Hurt is the first of his songs I've consciously heard.... Could you recommend any others?

"Ring of Fire" and "Walk the Line" are classics. My personal favorite is when he teams up with U2 for "The Wanderer."
