It is awesome to hear such familiar songs, sung by a familiar voice. Cash’s voice is somewhat withered by life, but it adds to the authenticity of his performance. It is interesting to reflect upon what he chose to share with listeners as a farewell. You can consider what these songs might have meant to him as a person, what messages they held, and what they say about the universal meaning of life, death, love, remorse, and forgiveness.
