There is so much I love about this cover and the entire story behind Cash, Reznor, and this song. How people ask whether Cash or Reznor wrote the song. How Reznor wrote about mental illness. How Cash turned it into a song about the end of a life. How Reznor said, "that song isn't mine anymore" after seeing this video....just goosebumps.
Johnny Cash - Hurt

“The thought of, ‘Here’s a thing I wrote from a very intimate place and it’s connected to someone else with a larger-than-life personality, then oddly it becomes an epitaph for his life, filmed by one of the greatest directors ever and presented in such a beautiful way,’ it reminds you of the power of music and how important it is.”
-Trent Reznor
*Editing to add Reznor's acoustic version, which is on par with my love of the Cash cover.
No matter how much he tries to feel at ease, Caleb will never shake the feeling of being out of place in this comfortable home on the streets of Rexxentrum. His cottage is a quaint and charming place, evoking memories both fond and painful of his childhood home. His friends have put in a great deal of effort to create a warm and inviting atmosphere within its walls. Colorful artwork from Jester adorns the walls, vibrant and playful. Yasha's thoughtful touch can be seen in the fresh array of flowers. The aroma of Caduceus' teas tucked away in his cabinet. Little notes from Essek, scattered about his office.
And upon his counter, a sending stone. Though it currently serves no purpose, with its other half resting idly in the possession of someone currently lounging in his kitchen. Caleb's culinary skills leave much to be desired, a fact he has quickly learned since moving out on his own. The proof of this in the lackluster stew he passes across the table to Beauregard, catching the way she looks at it. He has never claimed to be a good cook—a young Bren never learned how, and Caleb never needed to learn.
“We should discuss what we are going to do now, Beauregard.” Months have passed since Ikithon's trial, and both he and Beauregard are aware this would never end with Trent alone.
"You ever wonder what the point of all this is? Like we're specks in the universe." Theo slowly inhales around the joint before reaching for Trent. Before slotting his hand against the back of his neck. Pulling him in. Theo presses their mouths together to exhale into his mouth. He's always been like this. Overly handsy. Always thinking everyone likes this. No one's ever told him no. "Meaningless little specks but look at you. So fucking pretty." @bloodrodeo
I haven’t really said much after my last personal update (I can’t really remember if I made one before), but I guess a lot has happened. I want to write my thoughts down on what my path will be going forward before I post it, but I just want to thank those who have supported me through all that I’ve gone through for the first quarter of this year. To my friends, my mutuals, and to those who have said hi to me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have received some anons that I want to publish, plus finish those requests I’ve had since last year (I am so sorry again for the wait), so please bear with me.
Here’s a little sketch from me of the ArcCoil fam giving their thanks too. Really appreciate every one of ya.
the social network score by trent reznor and atticus ross is the best movie score of all time and I think everyone should go listen to it right now. You don't even have to watch the movie just go listen to the score I'm begging you.
I’m in this weird dual-extremes place with Ted/Trent (Tedependent? Is that what the kids are saying these days?) where like, obviously I would love it if they got together in the show. I would find that downright delightful (and honestly also very surprising).
I would also be very very happy with a third season where Trent is queer (I mean... the Vibes Are There, but they haven’t technically confirmed it) and where hopefully Colin is also queer, and that’s touched on, but there’s nothing ever between Trent and Ted. I would enjoy the hell out of that. And, you know, that’s what myself and other fanfic writers are here for.
What I do not want and am extremely afraid of is the unrequited crush plotline. Literally I would hate that so much. It would cause me so much pain. And it seems... not likely, but plausible?
To be fair to the show, the theme of Ted Lasso in my life has been continual pleasant surprise. Every time I thought they would do something awful and cringey that I (a deeply picky person) would hate, they didn’t, and they did something cool and great and nice instead. So probably it will be fine! I’m just stewing in anxiety in the meantime.

*throws this down and backflips out* I literally cannot get enough of this song, I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THESE VOICES
youtube
This synthesizer isn't even coming out till October, BUT THEIR VOICE IS SO AMAZING. I literally keep thinking of Violin singing this, in royalty moon outfit, and I just ABSKBSLD
(Also, NYL's outfit and everyone else's of the Starry Court from Eclipsed Sounds are just so GORGEOUS. I will seriously draw Accordion and Violin in some of them, or just like, maybe I'll redo their royalty outfits because it gives me a lot of inspiration)
