    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.
