One day, about 3 years ago, I was sitting on my sofa, with my laptop on my lap and I was listening to songs on YouTube.
At some point I found a song called "Hurt", by Johny Cash.
And I fell in love!
After some time I learned that this song was written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.
(what a soul he must have to write these lyrics...!).
It's basically my ultimate favorite, if I could sing only one song for the rest of my life this would be it. It's the one song that can bring tears to my eyes even if I'm in the best mood, it's the one song that when I listen to it the time and the world around me stop a little bit.
Its lyrics are changing with me as time passes. At first I was feeling that some people were giving me their "empire of dirt", later that I did hurt myself, almost always that, yes, pain is one of the most real things in life. Nowadays, being in a period of change I keep thinking "what have I become?".
Plus, it will always remind me of the time when a period of depression started for me,
of all the fragile moments in life and the pain that we come through eventually.
P.S. I think that this version is the best one ever:
