There are songs we've gone our whole lives without hearing and the best song we've ever heard might still be out there. (lemmy.ml)

That is interesting. I loved the original in my youth, but now that I am older, a cancer survivor, and with a lifetime of challenge and too many dead loved ones, Cash's version speaks to me on a different level.

I'm not yucking your yum one bit. I am happy that you have a song that speaks to you.

To be fair, I'm in my mid 20s which may still be "youth". I do see how the cover can speak more with more challenges in life. I do also love "Thank you for the offer" by Chip Taylor and it gives me a similar feeling to Cash's Hurt.

I'm not yucking your yum one bit. Wouldn't take it that way. Besides, Cash's version is also "my yum", just not more than the original :)

I hope life has given and continues to give you more to smile about.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
