Like it’s a look into a soul of one of the most famous musicians of all time right before they’re about to die. He’s showing us that whatever we ever have had is fleeting and time comes for us all :(

One of those rare right place, time, and artist type of songs. Not everyone gets to write their own epitaph like that.

He didn’t write it. But even the original artist respects the hell out of his performance of.

I was referring to the entire performance as Johnny Cash getting to write the epitaph for his own life. Trent Reznor admitted that the song didn't really feel like his anymore after hearing the cover.

It’s one of the most powerful songs I’ve ever heard, so my random ass certainly agrees

But I’m hearing it once had a Reddit moment which makes me kinda sad
