zookeeper Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Johnny CashHurt. Saddest song and video ever.←Is that the one where he is 6 months from dying. Or is this someone else? Blues singer?I'd say mine was "supersonic" by cerrone, "You make it easy" by air, and Bob Sinclars awesome new single! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis_farewell Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Put me down for "Drink up your zider" too. "Swing Low" in a packed twickenham is hard to beat too. Near moves I to tears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spud55 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Johnny CashHurt. Saddest song and video ever.←Have to agree there. Completely different in meaning from the original, which is about drug and alcohol abuse. Both are equally sad songs, but the original is in perspective not as sad because Trent Reznor came back from the place he was in when he wrote the song, while jonny cash passing away not long after makes that song all the more sad, as it's an admission that he knows that it's coming But the Cash version is so harrowing, especially with the video. Although i have to say seeing Nine Inch Nails perform hurt Live was one of the best moments in my life, to hear the whole croud singing the chorus was simply incredible, never had the hairs on the back of my neck stand up so much.(although there is someone on this forum who thinks he could write a better song in 10 minuites than Hurt, quite an achievement IMO )As for me,Songs that make me shiver,Nine inch Nails - Something i can never haveNine Inch nails - And all that could have beenAlice in chains - RoosterAnything that Maynard James Keenan, (singer of tool and A perfect Circle and general god type bloke) sings.

Guest Ron Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Another few;Athlete - Wires - Very meaningful song, very raw music, love it.REM - Losing My religion - Another meaningful song, Phil-Collins-Soundalike has a lovely voice.Daniel Bedingfield - Nothing hurts like love - A bit of a wussy song, but very sad & a nice voice.

lukejones2 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Phil-Collins-Soundalike has a lovely voice.←Being a huge REM fan, it upsets me to think that Michael Stipe is being considered a Micharel Stipe soundalike!! Nice song though. Would recommend you listen to some more of their stuff, try their new album (a greatest hits therefore a good introduction). I would at least make sure you listen to Nightswimming and Daysleeper aswell as the obvious Everybody Hurts, Man On The Moon, This One Goes Out To The One I Love, It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine), Walk Unafraid (not all on the greatest hits album bizarrely!).Anyways, on the subject of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails.. I love the song. Another that shakes me and it is the lasting memory I have of the one time I saw them. It was after Moby at Glastonbury, I never knew about them and it was my first sounding of any NIN material... an awesome introduction I must say!! I am off to download this Johnny Cash version now....Agree with Stayt together for the Kids too by Blink as mentioned above.New one for yous...

I reccomend it. Very sad, but great music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MaloneFM Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Agreed. Daysleeper....←And 'At My Most Beautiful' however 'Nightswimming' is better.BUTIt cant top 'Abide With Me' at Wembley against Stoke. It is the definitive cup final hymn and we were singing it under the Twin Towers for the last time. Never mind the result I will always thank Stoke for requesting that for Sir Stanley Matthews.
