I Still Miss Someone
Johnny Cash
The Fabulous Johnny Cash

(I still miss someone)

At my door the leaves are falling the cold wild wind will come
Sweethearts walk by together and I still miss someone
I go out on a party and look for a little fun
But I find a darkened corner cause I still miss someone

Though I never got over those blue eyes I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me when all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry for leaving what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere and I still miss someone

(I still miss someone)

Though I never got over...

(I still miss someone)

My friend, Jen, and I went to see Walk The Line today. It was awesome. Jen and I are both big fans of Johnny Cash and weren't about to let any time pass before seeing the movie. A friend of mine said to me the other day that he was worried about seeing it for fear that it couldn't live up to who he and June Carter Cash were to their fans. It's a good point, and one I armed myself with today.

But, I walked out of the theater amazed. The story of Johnny and June Carter Cash is nothing short of amazing. Sarah Vowell did a piece on them for This American Life that no Johnny Cash fan should go without hearing. Fast-forward to around 47:00 to get by the other pieces. Now that I think about it, veryone should hear it, fan or not.

Walk The Line probably didn't move me the way Vowell's piece did, but it came close. "I Still Miss Someone" is one of my favorite songs, it didn't get used in the movie but whatever.
