It's the other way around. Cash covered Bonnie Prince Billy, née Will Oldham. Another note about the song--This American Life used it at the end of a story about a guy trying (unsuccessfully it turned out) to prevent his friend from committing suicide. It's the only time hearing a song made me cry. At work. All over my keyboard. http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?sched=1061 I agree about “I See A Darkness”, but it’s funny how many people think that the Johnny Cash is the original.

I wish I had some of these songs on my computer. I love Will Oldham's cover of I See A Darkness so much; it's totally wrist slitting material. I will be listening to this over lunch tommorrow crying into my Chipotle. I think I officially declare you the winner over both of us. I wish I had some of these songs on my computer.

I'm confused.

I decided to restrict myself with my mix to 1. only music that was already on my itunes 2. only being able to scroll down itunes once 3. not pick any artist used by Colin or Hannah If my mix were ever implemented as a weapon, war would be over and the world would flood with tears.

GUYS,

Because of the depth of sadness I felt from BOTH of those mixes, I decided to make my own.

I decided to restrict myself with my mix to
1. only music that was already on my itunes
2. only being able to scroll down itunes once
3. not pick any artist used by Colin or Hannah

If my mix were ever implemented as a weapon, war would be over and the world would flood with tears.

While there are certainly a lot of sad lyrics on Hannah's, listening to Colin's makes me sadder. That said, points to Hannah for incorporating more genres and periods, and major demerit to Colin for stacking the deck by including TWO songs by Elliott Smith, even if one of them was a cover. That's cheating- Elliott Smith is the most depressing person ever! I think I'm going to make a muxtape when I get home just so I can contribute a glimpse of my own depression. I totally have a sad mix already made.

She started with Patsy Cline, that's total A-game! Plus I have a hard time considering Guided by Voices sad. Genius, yes. Sad, not so much.
