Allison 🎃🍁👻 @allisonzee.bsky.social · 13hThe driving rhythm of the song is also a huge part of its appeal for me. It makes it feel like there's no stopping what's to come. 000
Allison 🎃🍁👻 @allisonzee.bsky.social · 13hAll the Biblical imagery of Jesus (I.e., "the man") coming down to condemn the evil & save the righteous...has a certain appeal at this moment in time, does it not? Of course, we also have the broligarchy trying to bring about Apocalypse now but it feels good to imagine THEM being sent to hell. 100

Allison 🎃🍁👻 @allisonzee.bsky.social · 13hSo I finally got to sing along to this tonight at home. Two things: I realized how much of this song is Johnny talking -- there are no notes to sing -- & somehow I can sing in unison with him on most of the notes with there ARE notes. 100

Allison 🎃🍁👻 @allisonzee.bsky.social · 13hI first heard the recording of Johnny Cash singing his composition "The Man Comes Around" years ago but since yesterday I've become obsessed with it, listening to it over & over. I can't get enough of it. This tidbit about a dream inspiring Cash to write the song just makes it even better. 3123
