A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

That is interesting. I loved the original in my youth, but now that I am older, a cancer survivor, and with a lifetime of challenge and too many dead loved ones, Cash's version speaks to me on a different level.
I'm not yucking your yum one bit. I am happy that you have a song that speaks to you.
To be fair, I'm in my mid 20s which may still be "youth". I do see how the cover can speak more with more challenges in life. I do also love "Thank you for the offer" by Chip Taylor and it gives me a similar feeling to Cash's Hurt.
I hope life has given and continues to give you more to smile about.
