The Man Comes Around
The song, from the album American IV: The Man Comes Around was originally written by Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails, appearing on their Downward Spiral album of 1994, but Cash makes it his own, imbuing a sense of regret and pain upon looking back on his past that is poignant and real.
The video features various images from his life, acting as a miniature documentary, showing footage of his hometown, June Carter Cash and his short-lived TV show.
Something about this, the final video produced by Johnny Cash before his death in 2003, makes me come over all wobbly - It's powerful, beautiful, wounded and regretful.
