Dark poetry.....perfect!!!
Cash is just a master of the song... very pure, very simple, and he gets the message across. I dunno this song sounds too busy... all sorts of sound effects and alterations. Cash is just much cleaner.
Unfortunately, it seemed to miss the point. This song is supposed to be a paranoid rant by someone whose mind is slowly leaving him as he rots in jail. It's supposed to be confused, jumbled, rushed and chaotic. Johnny's version also overlooks the blasphemy inherent in the lyrics (the idea of a vi
cious murderer thinking he's the Son of God).
MSG me on M.S.N. ID is in my profile. LT
Cash never took any song literally...
Mercy Seat was allegorical
anyone can relate to it
distortion of the truth, finding salvation, not being afraid to die,
I believe this is a deeply religious song.
watch everthing!
