This is one of the songs that he recorded before he died. This song was originally written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. I've heard that version before, but I didn't like it as much as this version for a couple of reasons (it's not because I don't like NIN, I've actually haven't heard NIN enough to form an opinion).
One: I can't hear the song, it's way too quiet.
Two: Johnny Cash's voice is just so powerful to me, influentially as well as vocally.
This song is such a sad song, every time I hear it I almost want to start crying, because of the fact that he has that influence for me with every one of his songs, only I don't want to cry when I hear his songs, they are just emotionally influential. This song, because of the fact that it was put out before he died, makes me sad because he is dead, but not only because of that, but because I like to listen to it when I'm sad.
I think I remember watching a TV special on his life with my father after he had died. His wife, June Carter, had died only four months before he did, so I guess, in a way, it's nice that they didn't have to spend a long time apart from each other.
