Now this is a very special Cover of a Cover song and it therefore deserves some introductory words ...
Although I had some respect for Johnny Cash being a Country Music - Giant, his music never touched my heart ...
until I got in touch with his American recording-series.
Oh man, all this cover songs (country/rock/pop) with his broken voice, suffering from illness and this pretty spartan song arrangements! They are unique and worth listening still nowadays.
The hurt song, released in 2002, one year before he died, is a cover version of a song with the same name from the US-Rockband "Nine Inch Nails". And this cover is one of the seldom cover song which are by far more famous than then original (and better imo too).
With a bpm rate of 100 and its psychedelic Rock song arrangement, our Cover is somewhere in between the very dark Ninch Nails-original (82 bpm) amd the JC-cover (90 bpm).
A good old friend of mine contributes to this song with some Didegridoo sounds in the intro part. These Didges can generate a huge amount of low end frequencies !
The completely own song arrangement, the recording of all instrumental and vocal tracks gave this tune somehow its own musical soul imo.
It is always exciting for me to develop an organic sounding song arrangement by varying the dynamic and instrumentation along the song. A bit of an U2-vibe has also sneaking in along the developing process. That is something which just happens along the way ...
There is a slide guitar outro solo. I have used a WAH-effect to support to that desperate song mood. It is more about sound and atmosphere than pressing as many notes as possible into one bar :icon_biggrin:
To cover the "empire of durt", old factory buildings came into my mind for the footage part.
All in all my duo partner and I feel the audio and footage parts as coherent. What do you think ?
Have fun while listening / watching:
