i was bored and i looked through my johnny cash albums in my computer. i ventured upon this. some note on his very last album he recorded. it says.
There is always something unbearably sad about hearing the voice of a dead singer, but when the CD carries a sticker saying 'the last recordings' the effect is doubled. And so, when the distinctive and gravelly voice fills the speakers, it is not difficult to stop and take it in.
This is very much Cash's My Way moment: a melancholy trawl through a series of songs, some classics themselves, on which he mulls over his life, the world and his faith as if he realises it will be his last contribution.
Even to a non-devotee it's almost heartbreaking: Cash's voice often thins to a virtual croak while in others he puts in what sounds like his all just to raise the tempo. Produced by Rick Rubin, this is a fitting finale, if unnerving at times.
i think it's very true. even though it's quite sad since he barely made it through every song.
sigh. R.I.P Mr Cash. ):

Travelling somewhere, could be anywhere.
There's a coldness in the air, yeah but I don't care. We drift deeper into the song, and life goes on. We drift deeper into the song, the feeling's strong. So bring it on. |

I'll love you till the sky falls down.
Daniel commemorates this blog to express his insecurites and rants. He also has an aural interest in a wide variety of music ranging from V-Kei, J-Rock, Country and Trance. Nothing much is known about him, except that he hates to lose terribly and he has a bad temper. He also indulges in sports such as basketball, volleyball and soccer. He loves clothes, hand/wrist/neck accessories. He is obsessed with Japanese manga and anime. He desires a daily dosage of beautiful He is, Second to God. /endsarcasm. *psst. meant as a joke to certain people* He enjoys reading and demands a library to be installed in his home. What pleasure he finds from fiddling with Adobe Photoshop CS3. Reading, and composing poetry brings great satisfaction to the heart of Daniel. I'll love you till I can't feel anything at all.
I brought you something close to me.
Left for something you see though your here.
