There we go, that didn't take long
Yeah, if that's what Johnny Cash was talking about, then what was Trent Reznor talking about?
His empire of shit. Probably fertilizer, creating a healthy garden.
Edit: see below. I remembered wrong.
The empire is DIRT. The crown is SHIT. Get it right
You're right. That'll teach me to comment while sober. I'd have remembered that if I were drunk.
Sober is Tool, try to keep up.
Empire = dirt Crown = thorns/shit (JC/NIN) Chair = liar’s
Who knows
My wife is gonna appreciate the meme, but yeah, she's gonna roll her eyes about who the song is attributed to... all the more reason to send it.
I'm pretty sure it's the worm thing.
Is the NIN version of Hurt about worms though?
That’s what I thought…
Maybe, but both artists didn't necessarily think about the same.
I love the different styles of Cash's version, nine inch nails, and the Eric Whitacre choral version. They all bring out different parts of the text, and the comparison is fascinating.
While we're at it I'd like to mention this bardcore version I found that's pretty good
Well that was quite the rabbit hole. 2 new subscriptions out of it.
Hell yeah! Glad I could help you find something you like, same thing happened to me when I first ran across that channel a few months ago lol.
Well that's an immediate subscribe from me.
My favorite version is NIN with Bowie
True, but like Watchtower by Hendrix, the covering artist to the original's lunch money, and now that song is his.
He should have said empire of soil then
That's why he says, "I will let you down. I will make you hurt." He's torturing the worms.
Damn rights...
