Track of the Weekend #33: Johnny Cash - “Hurt”

We have written much about how wide-ranging the styles of music added to Whyd are, in fact it’s part of the reason why our platform is named the way it is. Yet it might still seem bizarre that from a community of music lovers that produces tracks of the weekend from artists like Ryan Hemsworth and Yuksek comes this Track of the Weekend. It topped the Hot Tracks all week, and represents some of the most emotional music we’ve heard so far, digging deep into hidden skeletons buried in the recesses of all of our hearts. Few voices can penetrate further than Johnny Cash’s, that instantly recognized timbre which tames even the most-hardened soul, no matter what the lyrics express. “Hurt” is a pinnacle of sorrow, yet at the same time so beautiful that the sadness withers away. 

We have Basile Petit to thank for adding it first, and if you are one of the many metal heads on Whyd, this is a dude that you definitely need to subscribe to.
