Johnny Cash citáty
strana 2

J. R. Cash byl americký zpěvák, kytarista a skladatel. Proslul především díky country, ale svým rozsahem patřil i do dalších žánrů. Podle mnoha hudebních kritiků se stal jedním z nejvýznamnějších amerických zpěváků dvacátého století.

Byl dobře znám nejen svým černým oblečením a skromným pozdravem při zahajování svých koncertů „Hello, I'm Johnny Cash...“, ale je držitelem mnoha ocenění. Má hvězdu na Hollywoodském chodníku slávy a stal se nejmladším umělcem, který byl uveden do Country Music Hall of Fame.

Mezi nejznámější písně, které nesou jeho rukopis, patří jeho prvotiny ve stylu country a rockabilly, „Hey Porter“ nebo „Cry, Cry, Cry“, „Folsom Prison Blues“ tvořící jeho image desperáta, hity „I Walk the Line“, „Ring of Fire“ a „Man in Black“, žertovná „A Boy Named Sue“, „Jackson“, duet s jeho druhou ženou, June Carter Cash z Carter Family, ale také cover verze rockových písní jako „Hurt“, nebo „Personal Jesus“. Tématy mnoha Cashových písní, především pak těch z konce kariéry, jsou smutek a bolest, ale také naděje a vykoupení. Wikipedia

Johnny Cash nejznámější citáty

„Celý váš život, budete čelit nějaké volbě. Můžete si vybrat lásku nebo nenávist… Já si volím lásku.“

Johnny Cash

„Doktor vždycky přišel a ptal se, jak se mi vede. Říkal jsem, že skvěle, a on na to, že to jsou kecy. Čtvrtý den se mě zeptal, kdy s tím hodlám opravdu seknout. Tak jsem vstal, vytahal všechny ty poschovávaný drogy a společně jsme je šli spláchnout do záchodu - málem jsme ho ucpali.“

„Na rock and rollu mě udivuje jeho spiritualita. Lidi, kteří rock and roll kritizují, velice povrchně poslouchají. Neslyší srdce a duši.“

Johnny Cash: Citáty anglicky

“Cash: I went into a coma and I was there for 12 days. They all thought I was dying and they couldn't diagnose what was wrong with me. They finally came up with a diagnosis of Shy-Drager syndrome. It was few months later they realized I didn't have that so it was Parkinson's. And then it was not that. Then finally it was autonomic neuropathy. … And I'm pretty well resolved to the fact that that's what it is. And it's a slow process of the nerve endings.
King: No cure?
Cash: No, I don't think so. But that's all right. There's no cure for life either.”

“Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers.
One hundred million angels singin'.

Voices callin', voices cryin'.
Some are born an' some are dyin.”

“Hey porter! Hey porter!
Would you tell me the time?
How much longer will it be till we cross that Mason Dixon Line?
At daylight would ya tell that engineer to slow it down?
Or better still, just stop the train,
Cause I wanna look around.”

It's rollin' round the bend.
An' I ain't seen the sunshine'
Since I don't know when.

And time keeps draggin' on.
But that train keeps a rollin'
On down to San Antone.”

Song lyrics, Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar (1957)

“People say, Well, he wore that body out. Well, maybe I did. But it was to a good purpose. They should be thankful that I wore it out to the purpose I wore it out and that was writing and recording and touring and doing concerts. Everywhere I could possibly do them that I thought I might enjoy them. I thought people might enjoy me.”

And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.”

Song lyrics, American IV: The Man Comes Around (2002), The Man Comes Around

“The line "because you're mine, I walk the line." It kept coming to me, you know? But I was — I was … young and not been married too long. Yes, it kept coming to me. Because you're mine, I walk the line. And then the words just naturally flowed. It was an easy song to write.”

CNN interview (2002)

“The Man Comes Around" is a song that I wrote, it's my song of the apocalypse, and I got the idea from a dream that I had — I dreamed I saw Queen Elizabeth. I dreamed I went in to Buckingham Palace, and there she sat on the floor. And she looked up at me and said, "Johnny Cash, you're like a thorn tree in a whirlwind." And I woke up, of course, and I thought, what could a dream like this mean? Thorn tree in a whirlwind? Well, I forgot about it for two or three years, but it kept haunting me, this dream. I kept thinking about it, how vivid it was, and then I thought, Maybe it's biblical. So I found it. Something about whirlwinds and thorn trees in the Bible. So from that, my song started and… "The Man Comes Around.”

CNN interview (2002)

“I do my best to hide this low-down feelin'.
I try to make believe there's nothing wrong.
But they're always askin me about you, darlin
And it hurts me so to tell 'em that you're gone.
If they ask me I guess I'd be denyin' that I've been unhappy all alone.
But if they heard my heart, they'd hear it cryin'
Where's my darling, when's she comin home?”

So Doggone Lonesome

Down the street that losers use.
If you can wade in through the teardrops,
You'll find me at the Home of the Blues.”

Home of the Blues, written by Johnny Cash, Douglas L. McAlphin, and Glenn Douglas Tubb
Song lyrics, Johnny Cash Sings the Songs That Made Him Famous (1958)

“A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm;
A boy filled with wanderlust who really meant no harm.
He changed his clothes and shined his boots;
And combed his dark hair down.
And his mother cried as he walked out.Don't take your guns to town son;
Leave your guns at home Bill.
Don't take your guns to town.”

Don't Take Your Guns to Town
Song lyrics, The Fabulous Johnny Cash (1958)

“I lie awake at night to wait 'til you come in.
You stay a little while and then you're gone again.
Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie.
For every lie you tell, you're gonna cry, cry, cry!”

At the terror in each sip and in each sup.
Will you partake of that last offered cup,
Or disappear into the potter's ground.

“So we raise her up every morning
And we bring her down slow every night,
We don't let her touch the ground,
And we fold her up right.
On second thought
I do like to brag.
Cause I'm mighty proud of
That Ragged Old Flag.”
