  • I can't believe I didn't think to look this up on youtube before now!! I've been wanting to hear this since I found out my all time favourite artist (Paul Brandt) had the distinct honour of writing this song for Mr. Cash. I was elated to see that he released it on his 'Now' Box set this fall, and it was incredible. But I still wanted to hear this. Knowing that such amazing lyrics were being put together with these two incredible voices, I had to hear it. Thank you SO much for uploading it!

  • this song is truly a masterpiece. johnny cash and dave matthews are my all time favorite artists. them together is just perfection! absolutely beautiful.

  • the dislike bar is as big as justin beavers dick

  • @samytheman I'm goin to agree with you on that one

  • IMO you should be able to disagree with war, you shouldn't be able to disagree with the sacrifice of our soldiers. If you think we cannot question our wars, then you are basically saying we should always be at war with someone. I'd rather there be no wars and no soldiers then always wars and always soldiers. But in the real world, there will always be soldiers, and I will always support them.

  • I absolutely LOVE this song...and movie. God BLESS our Veterans!

  • so Am I weak disagreeing with war?

  • @bradaussiebloke No mate :) you're not weak for disagreeing with the war, but even though you don't like it, don't hate the Australian Defence Force members, they are only their jobs.

  • this song covers it all, the life of a warrior for this country, we selflessly lay our lives on the line for loved ones and complete strangers, completely right to our strength comes from hoping we get to come home.

  • @nerby007: Those 4 people show us, that there are people who didn`t appreciate such things like the memorial wall or those songs sung by Cash and Matthews.

    But - when we show them a bit respect, we`ll reflect such persons like Mr. Rescorla. And maybe they`ll learn some day...

  • @GinsbergK

    Learn what? You're the one that needs to learn that not everybody shares the same principles.

  • @JevastusDestinus

    learn what? Please read my comment again - and it will show you that i haven`t any bad thoughts against those 4 people. And it`s ok when people have different meanings - but! please write with respect.

  • the 4 dislikes are from dirty sand niggers

  • He was such a phenominal man. There are those who believe we're each put here for a reason. When I look at his life, it seems as if he was here for many reasons. The most important reason was was on 9/11. This song and video is a perfect tribute. What a legacy...what a legacy...

  • its sad that on september 28, 2010. im just learning about this guy. a true hero

  • Johnny Cash The Hero !!!!

  • May he rest in God's arms forever.......

  • Great song written by a great canadian songwriter...Paul Brandt.

  • Quando a voz ecoa...de verdade...uma beleza estranha ela espalha...e o meu coração tenso chora por isso..enquanto no ar ...algo para sempre..se pergunta...)

  • Kuwait's right! God saves America A friend from Kuwait :)*Hero In Memory

  • @SuperLion911 Thank you, good friend.

  • God bless...

  • miss u johnny..so nice song

  • Thank you for posting this, I just learned who Rick Rescorla was. What an inspiring guy. It is amazing to me all those Vietnam vets who were hero's silently all around us all these years. They came back without proper thanks and tried to live a good life and forget the hell they went through. Amazing the hero's around us, and thanks to God this hero was there at that moment to be a hero again.

  • Great song.

  • The true beauty of a song like this is that it speaks to anyone it need to speak to. Such a beautiful message. Peace to all.

  • Amazing song. Hard to beleive he is gone. He is up there playing some Acy Deucy with Elvis.

  • @pat9570

    Yeah, That's What You Think...

  • Its what I know. They toured together.

  • @pat9570

    What Do You Mean "He is up there"?

  • @MrLOOOOONEL should be mr looney

  • @hooksnook

    Why, 'Cause I Speak The Truth?

  • let the souls who have died in war R.I.P

  • first is a butterfly

    second is a firefly

    third is a warm cave

    fourth is a cloud on high

    fifth is a sudden cry

    sixth is an ocean wave

    seventh is the whole night sky

  • R.I.P Rick Rescorla; 8 years ago he went above and beyond the call of duty, and saved 3700 individuals. One can only hope such man, is in paradise right now.

  • wow. he deserves to be at the right hand of god

  • and for the devil to give *him* his due.

    and for the devil to know he's on his way and decide

    to take his favourite, best dog

    and go fishing

    for my soul. he can have it, too.

  • soon 10 years....

  • Now isn't that just about the prettiest, saddest song you've ever heard?

  • i love the pic @ :53

  • The man in black you were the best and Dave you just proved how unreal and awesome you are because Cash wouldn't just play with anyone. Keep rocking! Johnny you will be deeply missed

  • beautifull song

    RIP johnny cash :(

  • Why are people arguing?

    lol...weird.

    Great Song. Great Message.

  • BFDdriver is right! The song is for anyone who would lay down their lfe...for another! Haunting, yet beautiful song. Can't stop listening to it!

  • it isn't just about soldiers,... firemen, cops , husbands, wives, fathers, brothers any one who would lay his life on the line for someone

  • It's also about the love of a Savior to all the people He died to save. Mr. Cash was a Christian, and made that statement. :)

  • i personally love this song.

    it reminds me of the day i fought and failed to save my girl friend of over 12 years of dying in my arms. its a great tribute to any hero who fights for thier county, well done

    Tony

  • Holy shit!

    How did she die?

  • blood clots to the heart, at 43

  • karliuxkley if you dislike this song so much then why do you keep coming back to this page??? . My guess is you are some emo cry baby who listens to fall out boy. This song is about a soldier charging into battle for America and his family. How you cant understand that boggles my mind. It ok if you still dont like it....but quit coming back here and commenting how much it sucks cause honestly nobody cares what you think tool.....

  • Hey man...chill. I personally love this song AND the movie.

    And FOB is not just for "emos" Stop labeling dude, you're acting like your 5.

  • ,if anyone have anything to tell me about this song to make me understand it and apreciate it will be very wellcome, i can't read the text neither and realized some people might be getting ofended somehow,thanks!!

  • no soup for you

  • Go to wikipedia and search for Rick Rescorla. You should be able to find some of answers on this hero .

    The song is about those like Rick who served and died so that others may live.

    Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13). Jesus Christ valued our lives even when we were dead to sin and yet he died for us. JFK, MLK, and many others took steps above the norms of this world and followed Jesus example to bring glimpses of what is to come.

  • I can't read the text under Rick's picture....can anyone help

  • karliuxkley go listen to your backstreet boys and spice girls.....

  • no interest in those joe, any other musical suggestion? i will start ignoring you if you ar recomendeing such crap again

  • you are stupid acashfan, if i don't like it i can express it, still in my opinion one of the worst songs cash has done as i love many others, you write ugly messages saying that i don't understand the song, i doubt cash, you or anyone would hit me in the face for my first comment, of course i wouldn't offer you my other cheek, don't need your advice neither, have my own taste

  • I agree with you on this one everyone has a right to his/her opinion, but i think this is a pretty good song all the same,but,thats just my opinion.

  • i am glad you like it and enjoy it, i don't unfortunately, prefer not to debate so much although would be interesting being me also a Cash fan

  • I'd probably hit you just because I don't like your attitude. I think you are a cheeky bastard. Has nothing to do with the song. I'd just like to see blood on your face.

  • dear idiot:

    You wouldn't hit me because you wouldn't reach very close as you might shit your pants if you see me, blood in my face? yeah splashing from yours!! now go and play some videogames idiot.

  • Seriously? You really feel you are that intimidating? Your attitude downright sucks. You live in a fairy tale land. Who mentioned video games? Are you high or just stupid? Both? Bad combination. I'd say as a human you fail. As a windbag that is so conceited it can't decipher thought from reality you succeed. Your comments bring to my mind an uneducated baffoon that wants attention so bad he attempts to bestow his perceived knowledge on others who just plain don't give a damn what he has to say.

  • is very funny you make this last comment like if your previous one, wich i was replying never existed and you could get away pretending being a respectable and ofended person like if what i said comes out of the blue, camon man... by the way i am going to stop commenting in this song,i was giving my opinion of a song cash signs who i deeply respect and all i get is insults,it just shows how frustated some people is

  • you are welcome

  • i understand that i don't like it, if you can't handle it is because you are a twat, enjoy your son mate!

  • the worst cash has done...

  • I found this Song in a ScaryOykee bar in Hollywood & sang it with my friend Jerry Leeman. I kept yelling, "Jerry, this one's For You"! until I finally got his attention.
