I wont back down
« on: August 29, 2012, 01:50:18 AM »
Not sure if this is the right place to put this, still getting my bearings.


I found this song on YouTube called I wont back down by Johnny Cash, the lyrics might mean something to a few people, click below to listen. ^-^



Johnny Cash - I Wont Back Down
BEFORE YOU ACT, LISTEN
BEFORE YOU REACT, THINK
BEFORE YOU SPEND, EARN
BEFORE YOU CRITICIZE, WAIT
BEFORE YOU PRAY, FORGIVE

BEFORE YOU QUIT, TRY

Thanks for sharing that. It was pretty amazing. Another great track is his cover of NIN's "Hurt".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVAWKfJ4Go. Only trouble is, it ALWAYS  makes me cry, no matter how I'm feeling before I listen. He really lived!   +-_ Oh, I bet you know it already. Anyway, many thanks.

It is a great song, and the best version.... but the video is really what gets to you knowing his wife died very shortly after it, as did he...

The bit at the end when he closes the piano case and waves his hands over it.... wow..... it's like... that's me, I'm done here...

i can't watch it without the goosebumps appearing....
