when I was wanting to vote for my favourite song, I really wanted to vote for this one, its so simply beautiful. Intelligently written and wonderfully sung. I thought it was johnny cash but nobody I asked could confirm this or knew what I was talking about! I'm gutted now, although I think its amazing that an artist whose career lasted as long as Cash's did (and who some people are silly enough to categorize as country and western!) has ended up #22 in Absolutes' top 100. Shows what wise listeners we all are.

This is beautiful. It could of been written for Johnny himself and it is very apt that it was his last ever recorded release (i think) Makes you wonder how Nickelback have so many votes. One smells a fish!
