Slingshot Suplex 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2004 Jewel "You Were Meant For Me" But not the redone sterilized radio version. The first version that I heard that sounded more raw and passionate. And what's the name of that song that , I believe, Pearl Jam covered about the guy's girl dying in a car crash. When I was younger, the original version made me think "man, that's a depressing song" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I was younger, the original version made me think "man, that's a depressing song" That would be "Last Kiss." I can't remember who originally did the song though.

Guest PlatinumBoy Report post Posted October 5, 2004 According to Allmusic, Last Kiss was written by Wayne Cochran. And as for Hurt--I totally agree, and I'll get to the part that gets me the most, espically if watching the video. At the end of the verse "You are someone else, I am still right here..." the song goes from just basically the guitar and Cash singing to adding in the backing piano/organ. Then the chorus..... but by God when Cash gets to "goes away in the end....." and more instruments join in, and then his voice just quivers and makes you feel the pain as he continues "...and you can have it all, my empire of dirt." Then the instruments become even louder at "If I could start again, a million miles away...." and Cash's voice just sounds so strained and weak and painful. You really get the feeling that he means this. That he truly is filled with regret and pain. The way the piano/organ (sounds like an organ but I could be wrong) just builds through that part makes it heart-wrenching. Also, if you are watching the video, this part with the montage of Cash sitting there clenched up old and the shots of Johnny throughout time--I've honestly seen it make many people cry. Also for Cash, I'll openly admit that once when I lost a loved one, I heard the news and immediately went home and turned on Meet me in Heaven by Cash from Unchained and cried like a baby. Even now it affects me when I hear it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anorak 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2004 He wasn't exactly the saddest lyrically but his voice seemed to carry a sadness most of the time to my ears. The mood seemed weary and resigned a lot of the time. Matthew Sweet - Nothing Lasts. A great closing track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2004 "Hurt" is pretty weighty, but the video absolutely pushes it to the top of the heap. The old footage, the sight of Cash at the piano...there's just a lot of powerful imagery. But don't forget - it lost at the VMAs to Missy Elliott. Outside of Johnny Cash, I think I'd pick Tom Waits' "Soldier's Things." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
