Soul of Cash

Unrequited Love. ***If there is one thing I need you to do for me. Please listen to Johnny Cash sing “Hurt” at 70 years old. You must hear it! So Special!***

“Like Johnny Cash I’m Black.” The Man in Black.

Soul endures,

What must be done

The dawning of a new day

The rising of the sun

I listen to the song “Hurt”

But Cash

Must be singing…

Sometimes it can bring you to a very dark space

Lyrically it’s about the person I used to be

🥀”The needle tears a hole that old familiar sting.”🥀

🥀 “Try to kill it all away, but I remember everything.”🥀

Think about how much love he had for another person…

His wife June was his heart. His soul. His reason.

He loved her from the time they met until her last breath.

He died four months after her death. He died from a broken heart.

What is so amazing about Cash is you don’t even realize he is talking about drugs.

I’m putting the link to the video if you haven’t seen it.

Trent Reznor happens to be a good friend of mine…don’t ask how that happened, but we are…DOESN’T do that song justice…I tell him all the time. He knows.

It’s amazing how Cash rises above

Wears only black to support a belief

Went to Folsom County Prison to sing to connect and help people who needed him.

✨🥀I am saluting Cash today🥀✨

🥀✨For the man that only wore black✨🥀

✨🥀He sure is shining down upon me right now. I cry every time I watch this video.🥀✨

He recorded this song at 70.

He would die within the year.

🥀✨Johnny may you let your soul shine through…they don’t make em like you any more.✨🥀

🥀”If I could start again. A million miles away. I would keep myself. I would find a way.”🥀

Props to TR — thank you for letting Cash cover your song.✨🥀✨🥀✨🥀✨

Lovely Soul,
