Hurt - Johnny Cash 🖤: Trent Reznor: “I never got to meet Johnny, but I'm happy I contributed the way I did. It felt like a warm hug. It's an unbelievably powerful piece of work. After he passed away I remember feeling saddened, but being honored to have framed the end of his life in something that is very tasteful… Having Johnny Cash, one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time, want to cover your song, that's something that matters to me. It's not so much what other people think, but the fact that this guy felt that it was worthy of interpreting."

Moments of Pleasure | Kate Bush: Just Kate listing little flashes of memory (magical, sad, weird, nuts) before they slip away. It’s a little indulgent, but I read her mum died while she was making this album so it’s probably about loss too. Who knows? But it’s a tear jerker.
