| Johnny Cash – If You Could Read My Mind (Gordon Lightfoot cover) Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
what can i say? Cash's version is deeper than any other artists redition of this song. I have to give props to Gordon Lightfoot for coming up with such beautiful lyrics. Being one of Johnny's last recordings, his voice is so rough and the sorrow is conyed in a way that reflects everything in his life. You can hear the heartbreak and the tears in his words. Not to mention the beauty in the simple guitar.
The hero would be me.
But heroes often fail,
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take
I would imagine this was recorded after June's death, in which case I feel as if he's singing like losing her was his fault, a feeling commonly associated with heartbreak.
great song. |

i saw them in '04 in northern KY and I was still onstage after Spicy McHaggis and they played this. So I was rocking out to this song and singing into the mic with Ken . Amazing? Nothing short of it. Dropkick Murphys put on the best show you will ever see. |

I heard the last bit of an interview a while back before I knew U2's music very well and I remember something being said about it being about heaven and the equality that was part of heaven. There is no Martin Luther King BLVD. or Washington Way because everyone there is just as important as their neighbor. I liked that and think its a good way to interpret the song. |

this song is anything but boring its so beautiful the music is almost surreal as if you've become so numb to the destruction around you that all you hear is what matters now and the sound of Bono's voice is nothing short of amazing |

oooh this song is so dirty. It is such a hot fun raunchy song. and about Usaj88's comment, I really dont see how it could be kiss. I tried but still couldn't hear "kiss". Kill actually makes sense when you look at his "little Death delight" lyric. I think by saying " I aim to kill you" he's saying something along the lines of wanting to give you the orgasm of your life. . .so good it just might kill you (but hey if I died with Dave at my waist, I think I'd offically have died happy) |

I love the end of this song when grace belts out "feed your head" What a good phase to live by. Stop living in the dark and feed your head and expand your mind even if it takes some kind of Psychoactive drug like acid. |

"At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes"
I was talking to a friend of mine today about this song. He lived in Israel last year for 11 months in Jeruselum. He was saying that when ever a suicide bombing would happen, the wreakage was cleared and the city was in order within 2 hours of it occouring. It took just 2 hours for people to forget and move on. I cry when I hear things like this. Any form of forgotten or unknown death is so horrible. After he told me the stories about Israel I remembered a time last year when I was watching the news and they did a quick blurb about the suicide bombings and then it was cut short and a Breaking News banner came up. The newscasters needed to inform me that a highway was closed due to weather. They felt that it was ok to cut a breif story about a bombing in which 12 people lost their lives in, to let me know that the morning commute would be slow because of a closed road. That story, as short and undetailed as it was, may have been the only type of memorium to some of those people. Each one of the people on that bus came out of a mother's womb. They at one time were the world to someone and suddenly their life is gone and dusted under the rug. I don't know about you, but that make me cry. |

Wanna know what this song is really about? It has nothing to do with drugs. In 1966 after British and American radio stations refused to play this song Dylan released a statement in '66 sayin' "I never have and never will write a drug song." what he was saying in this song had two meanings. 1st was pretty ironic. He was saying know matter what you write a song about anymore, as long as your from the Haight Ashbury District, critics will automatically assume that you are write about drugs or something else 'negitve' toward american society. He was basically saying that they'll stone you metaphorically with rocks. The 2nd meaning was that people should get stoned on anything if you were openminded enough about it. Example being getting stoned on music. Read "Can't find my way home" it'll tell you all about it. |

great song. im from cincinnati but spend my summers in Washington. the cascades to puget sound gives it away right off the bat. i think it also has to do with the realization that your misreable. "and these people aren't your friends inhaling thrills thru $20 bills" anyone whose had a coke problem or a drinking problem should be struck pretty hard by the lyrics of this song. |

I'm not really a country fan at all but this song brings me to tears. This was my friend Robs favorite song. He would always play it. It was then and is still the story of his life. He had an alcohol problem all of his life and he was constantly trying to find himself. The last few months were just kinda really bad for him he had gotten another dui and his wife was divorcing him. He died two weeks ago. He had been way to drunk at a toby keith concert and while walking along the road, back to his car in the dark, he fell off of a bridge 12 feet into a shallow river. The fall knocked him out and he died from a combination of hypothermia and drowning. No one found him for 10 days. I went to the funeral and when I got home this song came on the radio. I got the chills and started crying. The irony is so weird because with the way he was living he was bound to get what was coming to him. and the last line "take it to the river" makes me speechless. |
