What is with that new Johnny Cash video?

Question

It has lots of celebs in it, but Johnny is singing something about God's gonna tear you down. It is creepy and I find it odd that celebs would lend their image to such a video. It casts them all in a very bad light. Anybody heard anything about this video??

Answer 1

Its "Gods Gonna Cut you Down" and its an old church hymn that Johnny redid. I love the video, black and white and including alot of celebraties that you would never believe with show up in a Johnny Cash video. It just goes to show how far across the board Cash's music was felt. You asked why celebs would lend their image to this video? Because they have respect for Johnny Cash. Im not so sure how the video casts them in a bad light?

Answer 2

It is a great song and video. Where' your head at?????????


God's Gonna Cut You Down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John go do My will!"

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
