What i love about this song is that he’s using terrifying, poetic imagery from the book of revelation and the Old Testament and just telling the story. There’s no softening the blow, there’s no false pretense, just pure biblical imagery in song form. Johnny was a poet and storyteller. He understood That he didn’t have to explain himself. That’s not the troubadour’s job. While he has an intention behind his art, part of appreciation is us trying to figure out what they mean.
My religion is nonexistent, and my Faith is shaky at the best of times. But when I hear Johnny signing this song, I find God, Jesus, and all the Heavenly Host.
He quotes from Revelation, chapter six. But as you noted, he doesn't preach. He's conversational in his tone. I think that's why even people who aren't particularly religious love Johnny Cash.
Brings tears of gratitude to my eyes, thank you Lord Jesus for all you went through and the blood you shed to purchase our Redemption and save only but any and all who will believe, thank you thank you thank you
a boy named sue is by shel silverstien cash did a cover of it shel said it was fine becuase he knew cash would do it justice. you may know shel silverstein from peom books yyou may have read as a kid like the book falling up
"Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still. Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still. Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still. Listen to the Words long written down." That line gives me chills every time.
Yes - but the last line is even more disturbing - "in measured hundred weight and penny pound" - the final line Cash ever wrote and put to music - meaning all transgressions, big and small, will be held to account.
Agree 100%. Cash is the most raw dude I ever heard. Live from Folsom prison. Live from San Quentin. Who does that? Cash tells rappers don't talk about it Son, be about it. I'm a guy who listens to rap exclusively before Cash. The guy is the real deal.
Somewhere around 20 years ago my coworker and I started listening to this. I would shove it in the ear of anyone that had not heard it before. That song affects me the same today as the first time I heard it. Thank You for the RUclips Sir!!!!
@@abracadabra3033 The one where he plays it for the first time at a college is the best. He had only finished the song that morning. It really speaks to who Johnny was.
Trent Reznor said once Johnny sang Hurt it was his. He even know the song was wrote for him. This song here was an original and it is absolutely one of the greatest songs . Like you said . He spoke what he believed to be true.
This is one of my favorite songs of Johnny cash. I believe his son wrote it for him if I'm not mistaken. It was also used in the movie Dawn of the Dead. One great thing about Jonny, you always know it's him as soon as you hear a lick on the guitar. My mother played a lot like his style. I loved him!
As noted by Bill, Johnny wrote this one himself. But Nick Lowe, who was his son-in-law for a time, wrote a magnificent song for him called 'The Beast in me'. It's on the first American Recordings album, and it's a must-listen.
Theres some serious messages in many of his songs. You can tell Johnny was a man of the lord and even struggled with many things himself but kept his faith.
Heard this Johnny Cash song for the first time in my life on the car radio tonight. The song had the same effect on me.!!! Really hit something in my soul. When I watched your excellent discussion!! Thanks for the interpretation. I had one or two similar thoughts but you covered everything !!! and filled in LOTS of blanks for me.
Love the reaction as always ! Johnny Cash's best recordings aren't his most popular . I can give you ten albums of his off the top my head that are all stellar and a true representations of him as a man and an artist .
Great video, bro. Been having this song stuck in my head and my heart lately. It's one of those songs that kind of haunts you, doesn't let you go easy.
Love this song...Johnny Cash touches my heart in so many ways with his music. I’m not religious I’m very Spiritual as was my brother who loved him too, he passed away and I want to believe he is free of his pain now and smiling, laughing and being loved. R.I.P. my Sweet Man Johnny Cash. 💫💫
Watching you discover some of this music allows me to listen to it for the first time all over again. Really appreciate your thoughtful and spiritual pesective. Thank you!
I’ve always loved the way the guitar comes in at the end of each verse when he sings, “When the man...comes around.” Such a classic! Spot on analysis, Abracadabra! (And he was indeed a major figure who influenced millions.)
Abracadabra 303- no, thank YOU! I love your in-depth and thoughtful commentary. Your vibe is very calming and much needed these days. Might you consider listening to Stone Temple Pilots’ song “Big Empty?” It was written for the soundtrack of The Crow. I think you’ll vibe with the lyrics. ruclips.net/video/GqyposaQWnI/видео.html
Love your heartfelt reaction to this Johny Cash tune. He was influenced so much by gospel music and teachings from the Bible. His spirituality shines through. This song is on the same CD as "Hurt", and when he was making this fine piece of work, his health was really failing with diabetes, and other inflictions, and knew his days were numbered. You can hear it in his anguished iconic voice. Love your channel. Thankyou.✌❤
A quick correction - this song is NOT a cover performed by Johnny Cash - Johnny Cash wrote this song- he is the original songwriter. This fact is fully documented in many books and stories! Johnny was immensely proud of writing this song and was quoted saying he put more time and effort into writing this song than any other song he had ever written.
Rick Rubin deserves a lot of love and credit, (originally from hip hop, & metal) he produced this and helped select tunes - Hurt, for instance. And Johnny had the courage and integrity to respond and give it all. If I’m not wrong, this was an original, but a remake from an earlier period.
Abra, Brother, I share your love and passion for emotional exploration through music. You have such a great way to pull apart the feelings and how the songs you share with us affects you. I too suffer from depression and music is my therapy. AND, I respect your willingness to be open and honest. You are part of the solution so thanks for that. Here’s a suggestion for you: “Don’t Give Up”-Peter Gabriel/Kate Bush.
Sam Phillips owned Sun Records. He was the first man to record Elvis Presley, Charlie Rich, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash. He once said, "Johnny Cash had more charisma than any man I ever met. The only one who was even close, was Elvis"
I've watched maybe 3 or 4 of your reactions, this one I subscribed. You look about my age, and at our age we see things differently than we did a "young" men. Diggin' your chill vibe, keep doing what your doing!
Johnny Cash was a rebel, protesting with people on the streets, in his last years, when he was to weak because of cancer he said that he misses the interaction with the young people if America.. Great guy and he will always be the Daddy of all Rockstars! Period. Joe from Germany
My brother, I love your reactions not just because of your REACTIONS, but because watching your inner peace helps me to bring the same. God bless. The world needs more peace.
Most people don't feel it, your definitely a man who is in touch with his soul. I knew who Johnny Cash was and had heard a song or two when i was a teenager in the early 80's. It wasn't until after i retired from the Marine Corps in 2015 having served in Force Recon and MARSOC for 22 years and having served 2 combat deployments to Iraq and 3 to Afghanistan i have a lot of scars both physically and mentally and quickly found that i couldn't hide either one. By the grace of God a beautiful woman who i had never met or seen before and am now very happily married to saved my life. I live outside of the same very small town i grew up living outside of one of those only has 1 traffic light towns. One evening while i was still addicted to and abusing oxycodone i had long since needed it for physical pain anymore but abusing it to try and hide from the mental pain the constant nightmares, flashbacks and severe depression. I found myself sitting on a bench in the little park in town i had a pistol in my hand and as i was raising it to my head to end my life out of the corner of my eye i saw someone approaching me so i quickly lower the pistol placing it on the bench beside me. As they got closer i saw this beautiful woman she walked over and just sat right down beside me. She started to talk to me and asked why was i sitting by myself, hell i didn't know what to say that's when she noticed the hat i was wearing which said Marine Force Recon and also noticed the pistol. She finally got me to start talking and eventually i just told her all the dark horrible traumatic and heartbreaking things that I'd seen and been thru i cried she comforted me and then took me to the VA hospital to get help. She goes with me every time i have to go to the VA she is the greatest woman in the world anyway one day on our way up Hurt came on the radio and it really touched me in away than any other song so i started listening to Johnny Cash and i know what mean about the way it makes you feel. God bless to you and your family.
What a great insight into, and description of, this song. And just great insights, period ... I love finding true-hearted, authentic people. You certainly are that in spades, my brother. Keep on doing what you’re doing - - putting all your wisdom and good energy out into The Cosmos 🌈
I find you to be an honest, honorable man of art, rythem and peace. Thank you for this post. Best of luck to you! I'll be checking back in for your future post.
absolutely fantastic review. I was watching you the whole time. I feel like you understand more of cash's music and feel the lyrics more than most people that probably listen to him all the time.
He fought hard to get to perform in the Prisons. They were worried about his safety etc. He said he wanted to perform for those men and they couldn't change his mind. Imagine an artist today trying to get to perform in a prison. Fighting that hard to get the clearance. Especially performing a song like Folsom Prison Blues.
@Jack Bauer Wow, that's really interesting to think about. AI turning on humanity because of our inefficiencies and wrong-doings has always been a common theme in the discussion of the future. But the thought that AI as a "perfect" being could represent Christ, bringing judgement to humanity, is pretty epic.
@@cesheph....I'd have to respectfully disagree, back then it wasn't uncommon for prisons to allow entertainment at their facility, the idea being it was incentive to stay on the good boy list. Johnny wrote the song while in the Air Force after his unit watched the movie "Inside The Walls of Folsom Prison". It was his 2nd single released off his first album in 1957. After that he got a lot of fan mail from prisoners and asking if he would play at their prison. His first prison performance was later that same year at Huntsville State Prison in Texas. He played at several other prisons over the next decade, but not Folsom. As his drug use increased, his popularity faded and his record label dropped him. In early Jan. 1968 shortly after June helped him get clean, he wanted to make a big comeback record. They decided to record the actual album at a prison show, which no one had ever done, his manager called San Quentin and Folsom and told Johnny which ever calls back first is where we record the album. Folsom called first and the rest is history. The cheers you hear from the inmates when Johnny sings the line, I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die, were added later, apparently the inmates were told they couldn't get to rowdy and to only applaud and cheer immediately after each song, they didn't cheer at that line in fear of being kicked out or gettin a shot on their record.
Cool. Cash proved himself a true legend towards the end, or is it the beginning? Thanks for the vid and your reaction was well done HH. RIP Mr. Cash and your wife June.

the guitar sounds like horses galloping, the four horsemen coming.
I can't trust anyone who doesn't like Johnny Cash, it shows a lack of judgment.

So true

Never gets old, watching folks realize their a Cash fan.

Amazing song.
We will all die.

He also had a great sense of humor. Try "A boy named Sue"
Also, One Piece at a Time.
Yes, A Boy Named Sue" is a must!
@@EdwardGregoryNYC Yes, another classic!
a boy named sue is by shel silverstien cash did a cover of it shel said it was fine becuase he knew cash would do it justice. you may know shel silverstein from peom books yyou may have read as a kid like the book falling up
Have you heard his song called Foolish Questions?
"Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still. Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still. Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still. Listen to the Words long written down."
That line gives me chills every time.
Yes - but the last line is even more disturbing - "in measured hundred weight and penny pound" - the final line Cash ever wrote and put to music - meaning all transgressions, big and small, will be held to account.
I just started crying when i heard this and asked for GOD'S forgiveness of all my sins....please lord save me...😪😪
Yes, whoever calls upon the name of the Lord Jesus shall be saved!
Gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it.
you could feel everything he was feeling through his voice!
RIP Johnny Cash you are missed and loved brother.
"Folsom Prison Blues," "Cocaine Blues," "A Boy Named Sue," and "The Man in Black."
Agree 100%. Cash is the most raw dude I ever heard. Live from Folsom prison. Live from San Quentin. Who does that? Cash tells rappers don't talk about it Son, be about it. I'm a guy who listens to rap exclusively before Cash. The guy is the real deal.
"I hung my head', "God's gonna cut you down", Thirteen", Mean eyed Cat", "Don't take your guns to town".. So many great songs..
Solitary Man.
Yes he shared, Johnny shared.
Dude...10 thunmbs up..keep em comin....63 year old former marine from south carolina
You should listen to Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down. One of his last recorded songs.
Definitely. And the video for it is a testament to his enduring legacy across musical genres and generations.
What a great song 👍🏼
This one was one of the last as well.
Somewhere around 20 years ago my coworker and I started listening to this. I would shove it in the ear of anyone that had not heard it before. That song affects me the same today as the first time I heard it. Thank You for the RUclips Sir!!!!
"The Man in Black" has to be the next one. It's one of the reasons I love Johnny Cash.
Got it , thank you
@@abracadabra3033 The one where he plays it for the first time at a college is the best. He had only finished the song that morning. It really speaks to who Johnny was.

You get it, you understood the lyrics, the meaning. Yes, it was heavy. Love it.
"Get your house in order." Big thumbs up for that. You should do a cover of that song.
I grew up listening to Jonny my Dad played him every day when Dad was home from work. Good memories.
Same here, I loved Johnny cash before I knew what country music was
This was a great reaction, this song is as real as it gets!
I totally agree
A conversation...man, this is why I love your reactions... grown man analyzing a poet... you nailed this 303
This song is a Masterpiece, Because he sings it with truth in how he really always felt, Jonny Cash was one of the few who still popular today👍
“Man in Black” one of my favorites...he was called The Man in Black for a reason, he started only wearing black...the song explains why. Very powerful
This is one of my favorite songs of Johnny cash. I believe his son wrote it for him if I'm not mistaken. It was also used in the movie Dawn of the Dead. One great thing about Jonny, you always know it's him as soon as you hear a lick on the guitar. My mother played a lot like his style. I loved him!

Bro I really enjoy the way you dig into the music and lyrics. You are a deep thinker and I appreciate ya!☺
Indeed, and thank you for that, much appreciated
🥰❤️
Dude, you remind me of a best friend i had 40 years ago, he's gone now, gone from a crime, watching you makes my soul cry...
Theres some serious messages in many of his songs. You can tell Johnny was a man of the lord and even struggled with many things himself but kept his faith.
I like how you speak your words you know what its all about brother
this dude is my spirit animal...so chill.
It's been said that when JC covers a song it becomes his. Case in point.
Instant thumbs up, my favorite Johnny cash song great one my friend ❤️.
Great critique! Our time is gonna come. Yes there is definitely something after here ♡. I love Johnny Cash he was the man.

It is crazy that Johnnie didn't write Hurt, but it is him through and through.
Yes I agree. Nine Inch Nails was more about the singers addiction where Johnny’s was like a hymn of his life

I think he was talking about Hurt. Tool originally did the song.
Loved ur reaction and ur thinking about the song. May the Love of God bring you closer to him.

Hear Jonny Cash read Revelation is real spooky. Lol

Sir you should listen to “The man in black” by Cash... also his “live from Folsom prison” record
Its coming for sure
He fought hard to get to perform in the Prisons. They were worried about his safety etc. He said he wanted to perform for those men and they couldn't change his mind. Imagine an artist today trying to get to perform in a prison. Fighting that hard to get the clearance. Especially performing a song like Folsom Prison Blues.
Shadowlands1 2 there’s been plenty of current acts that have gone to prison.... but they couldn’t leave later that day lol
@Jack Bauer Wow, that's really interesting to think about. AI turning on humanity because of our inefficiencies and wrong-doings has always been a common theme in the discussion of the future. But the thought that AI as a "perfect" being could represent Christ, bringing judgement to humanity, is pretty epic.
@@cesheph....I'd have to respectfully disagree, back then it wasn't uncommon for prisons to allow entertainment at their facility, the idea being it was incentive to stay on the good boy list.
