Hurt By Johnny Cash (Song)

Segurament recordareu aquest anunci de Nike, emés fa poc.


Video: Nike - A little less hurt

Apart de l'impressionant escena de la saltadora de valles, la cançó de fons hem va agradar especialment.
Aquesta s'anomena Hurt, i és original dels "Nine Inch Nails".
La del anunci però, és una versió de Johnny Cash.
Aquesta versió va sortir al 2002 en forma de video, un any abans de la mort de Johnny Cash, i és considerat per molts com el seu epitafi.


Video: Hurt by Johnny Cash

Lletra de "Hurt":

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
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

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

Considerant la vida tormentosa que va dur Cash (problemes amb drogues, amb la llei i amb dones), la cançó sembla escrita especialment per ell.
