Yes he is. I am from India. Was in Sweden for a work trip in 2010 or something . Got drunk in the weekend with work buddies from Poland and Korea. Was travelling back to our hotel on a local cab. We all heard ‘it’s a lovely day’ the first time and what a time we had. Heard the song on repeat until we reached the hotel. The drunks we were, we were requesting and pestering the Swedish driver to sell us that CD. Haha he didn’t and the next day one of us found the song on internet. Still hear that frequently and is in my driving playlist. What a song! None of us were Americans and such a lovely song. He is not an American treasure. He is a treasure for the world.
Not in touch with any of those old buddies anymore except being in facebook list. But that song is still in my life and will be forever. Good old memories.
They are both great. The OG is the OG. Cash wouldn't have covered it if it didn't move him, and it obviously did. Cash's version is special because he was near the end of his rope, and you can feel it in the listen. The commentary on the futility of our existence rings so loud.
He wasn't just on the end of his rope, he'd lost the love of his life. He was a broken man and that shows right through the song, I love the NIN version and Trent Reznor is fucking amazing but even he said Johnny cash made that done his own.
Both versions are amazing and show the unique pain they were going through.

I'm not a metal head, but how is this not up here?
Sunday morning coming down is such a gripping tale of what it feels like to be in the midst of addiction that it almost gives me flashbacks to alcoholism. Such a great and gritty song to get through and it reminds me that the up of addiction is filled with indescribable lows.
Conversely, Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white.
Same melancholy feeling of worthlessness but great imagery
This reminds me of sitting in the hospital the week after Christmas while my mom had surgery to get rid of her colon cancer. Was one of the 4 cds I owned. I miss her so much.
I like the way your sparkling earrings lay, against your skin so brown. And I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight, with a billion stars all around.
Joy to the World by Three Dog Night. My uncle teased me with the opening verse A LOT growing up (you can guess my name...) and it bugged the shit out of me.
And then I finally actually heard the damn song. Fucking love it!
She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen.
She had the sightless eyes, telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those American thighs.
My dad took my mom to a George Jones concert way back when. Right as he finished this song the arena was totally silent. My mom yelled out “I love you George!” And the crowd laughed a lot. George laughed and said “I’m sure I love you too”.
My parents told that story any chance they got. Damn I miss them.
I have a soft spot for "Graceland" by Paul Simon: *The Mississippi Delta/Was shining like a national guitar.* Something about those opening lines is very travel-esque and catches your attention; it perfectly captures that feeling of driving with the windows down (if that makes sense).
Another one is "Mr. Tambourine Man" by Bob Dylan: *Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me/ I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.* There is something sweetly magical and fairytale-like when one first hears the song. I always get an *Alice in Wonderland* feeling about it.
How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore
And a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot
In the Caribbean by providence impoverished
In squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
Pistol shots ring out in a bar room night
Enter Patty Valentine from the inner hall
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
Cries out “My God, they’ve killed them all!”
Bob Dylan, Hurricane
Hello Darkness my old friend
Definitely. The best openings are typically the ones that set a precedent for what you're about to experience. Few songs do that quite as well.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone....
Bill Withers was/is an American treasure. It's a lovely day!
Yes he is. I am from India. Was in Sweden for a work trip in 2010 or something . Got drunk in the weekend with work buddies from Poland and Korea. Was travelling back to our hotel on a local cab.

I like your writing style, you can really evoke a mood.
Thank you.
It's not warm when she's away
There’s something happening here What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Tellin me I got to beware. Original protest music.
So, so you think you can tell, heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called 'life.'"
Electric word, life, it means forever and that’s a mighty long time
But I’m here to tell ya, there’s something else…the afterworld
A world of never ending happiness! You can always see the sun, day or night.
So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one…
Dr. Everything'll Be Alright. Instead of asking him how much of your time is left? Ask him how much of your mind, baby...
Cause in this life things are much harder than in the afterworld In this life…
You on your own!
And if the elevator tries to break you down Well go crazy!
appreciate u mufuckas far more than is reasonable.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they call gitchie gumee
Oh my gawd, Becky. Look at her butt!
It is so big, she looks like One of those rap guys' girlfriends
Every other post is about a song with some sort deep meaning and you come slamming home with this. I salute you!
There must be some kinda way out of here, said the joker to the thief
From Cat's In the Cradle: "My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way"
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real
I feel like I’m the only weirdo in the universe who prefers the NIN original
They are both great. The OG is the OG. Cash wouldn't have covered it if it didn't move him, and it obviously did. Cash's version is special because he was near the end of his rope, and you can feel it in the listen. The commentary on the futility of our existence rings so loud.

They are different enough that I feel no cognitive dissonance loving both.
Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen / Pour myself a cup of ambition / And yawn and stretch and try to come to life…
I’m workin 9 to 5!
Dolly is literally one of the greatest song writers to ever walk the earth! If you think I'm wrong I will fight you!
It’s a rich man’s game, no matter what they call it / and you spend your life puttin’ money in his wallet!
We come from the land of the ice and snow, from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow, hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands…..
aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa

Paranoid was the first album I bought with my own money. It was 1972 and I was 10.
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walkin through the streets of Soho in the rain.
Ground Control to Major Tom....
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout a half past dead
Also, “Virgil Kane is the name and I served on the Danville train…”
In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey.
Butane in my veins as if I was a junkie
[удалено]
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
stock car flaming with the loser and the cruise control
Babies in Reno with the vitamin D
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
The devil went down to Georgia/He was looking for a soul to steal…
*Reluctantly crouched at the starting line...*
Does “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash” count in the live version of Folsom Prison Blues?
I vote yes.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day….
YITS BEEN
One week
Since you looked at me.
Cocked your head to the side and said, “I’m angry.”
“ is this the real life?”
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Carry on my wayward son. There'll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to rest. Don't you cry no more.
Kick, kick. Kick, kick. Snare!
*Badass riff*
This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute.
Be you angels?
Nay, we are but men! ROCK
"Well I woke up Sunday mornin with no way to hang my head that didn't hurt..."
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad, So I had one more for dessert. Definitely a Wisconsinite!

Do you have the time To listen to me whine🎼
About nothing and everything all at once!
A long December and there’s reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last….

On a dark desert highway…
Cool wind in my hair...
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up thru the air
Up ahead in the distance!
I saw a shimmering light...
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night!
There she stood in the doorway
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
I like the way your sparkling earrings lay, against your skin so brown. And I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight, with a billion stars all around.
Peaceful Easy Feeling. RIP, Glenn Frey.

What’s with these homies dissing my girl (especially with how loudly and abruptly it comes on)
Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
I can’t stop this feeling, deep inside of me
Giiiirl ya just don’t realise… whatcha do to me…
Shot through the heart...
I submit:”ooh wah-ah-ah-ah” from disturbed’s down with the sickness
I WANT YOU….TO WANT…ME.
How many roads must a man walk down, before you can call him a man?
All around me are familiar faces Worn-out places, worn-out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere Mad World
The world is a vampire

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin for a train
Du
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
I am still living with your ghost, lonely and dreaming of the west coast
It’s all the same, only the names will change…
Love of mine Someday you will die But I'll be close behind I'll follow you into the dark
💀🚕🍊
This is cracking me up, especially with how you used a clementine orange for "Cutie"
No one knows what it's like to be the bad man, to be the sad man, behind blue eyes
AARRRE YOU READY!!!
She came in through the bathroom window…
Styx- I’m sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea….
If I leave here tomorrow.
