The Man Comes Around

This site is all about songs. Not artists singing them, playing them, not the record companies, A&Rs, managers, it’s not about drug addictions, affairs, religion, gossip, lawsuits or erectile dysfunction. It’s all about songs.
This one is written by Johnny Cash and was a part of his ‘02 album American IV: The Man Comes Around.
[Johnny Cash] writes [in his autobiography,] that Queen Elizabeth II (whose coronation Cash witnessed while he was a serving US Airman) appeared to him in a dream and said “Johnny Cash, you’re a thorn bush in a whirlwind”. Cash later found the same reference in the Book of Revelation, and was inspired to write thirty-three verses of what would become “The Man Comes Around”. - Wiki
The Man Comes Around is about chaos and destruction.
If you’ve ever read through the more exciting parts in the bible, the book of Revelations (a favorite of even the non-religious), you’d know the horrors Cash describes so gloriously. Like the coming of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse this song commands your attention. It requires more than just a quick listen, so take a few minutes and lend your ears to Cash. enjoi
