* Making such a good cover of Music/NineInchNails' "Hurt" that Trent Reznor said that the song "isn't mine anymore."

* Making such a good cover of Music/NineInchNails' "Hurt" that Trent Reznor said that the song "isn't mine anymore.""[[note]]Full quote: "Anyway, a few weeks later, a videotape shows up with Mark Romanek's video on it. It's morning; I'm in the studio in New Orleans working on Zack De La Rocha's record with him; I pop the video in, and... wow. Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine any more. Then it all made sense to me. It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. Some-fucking-how that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning – different, but every bit as pure."[[/note]]

** The song itself is ''incredible'', with Cash's distinct voice making it sound as old as time.

**He doesn't just do a straight cover, either. The original version is best described as an upbeat Southern spiritual. Cash takes it and molds it into something totally different; the kind of tune Gabriel would blow on his horn at the End of Days. And it kicks ass.

* The second-last song Cash ever recorded, on his final day in the recording studio before his death ''two weeks'' later, and the last song he ever wrote is titled "Like the 309". It's a tongue in cheek look at death which is basically a big middle finger to the Grim Reaper. And it proved Cash was a badass to the end.

I added the link to the song to share its utter badassery with the rest of you.


* 'Ain't No Grave', while a deeply sad song on some levels, does carry a great strength to its notes and its lyrics. So much so that when Johnny fucking Cash says he will rise right out of the ground at the end of the world, then you damn well believe he will.
