Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt, Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton, Sound of Silence (not that cover version though)

@shans20 Tears in Heaven is a borderline case. Does Eric have a right to sing about his dead child in a pop song? Can it be considered exploitation? I don’t know. That song touches me deeply.

@helenS Yeah, same, though I see what you're saying. As a musician I guess it's how he operates, he writes and makes music to express himself and god knows it would have been torture. I can see how writing it could have helped him deal with some of that. Should he have released it? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe it gave him closure. Whatever the case, the emotion in that song is so real.

@shans20 Yes. His emotions are real. Are they still real when he sings the song over and over again, to anonymous audiences, in large music halls?
