"AS OPPOSED TO GOOD?" One tune that has been on heavy rotation for months now is Johnny Cash's cover of Will Oldham's 'I See A Darkness'. It's just stunning and so powerful when sung by Cash. Everyone goes on about his cover of 'Hurt' but this is the real deal: Well you're my friend (It's what you told me) And can you see (What's inside of me) Many times we've been out drinking And many times we've shared our thoughts But did you ever, ever notice The kind of thoughts I got Well you know I have a love A love for everyone I know And you know I have a drive To live I won't let go But can you see it's opposition Comes a-rising up sometimes That it's dreadful and position Comes blacking in my mind And that I see a darkness And that I see a darkness And that I see a darkness And that I see a darkness And did you know how much I love you Is a hope that somehow you Can save me from this darkness Well I hope that someday, buddy We have peace in our lives Together or apart Alone or with our wives That we can stop our whoring And pull the smiles inside And light it up forever And never go to sleep My best unbeaten brother This isn't all I see O no I see a darkness O no I see a darkness O no I see a darkness O no I see a darkness And did you know how much I love you Is a hope that somehow you you Can save me from this darkness If you don't have a copy let me know and I'll burn it or mail you the MP3.
