Haunting and Amazing

Just heard one of the most amazing songs I've heard in a while: Bob Marley's "Redemption Song," sung and played as a duet between Johnny Cash and Joe Strummer.

I've always loved that song anyway, but it is a great and haunting rendition. It had to be one of the last recordings ever for both Cash and Strummer.

It sort of hit me like Warren Zevon's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," which he recorded when everyone knew he was dying.

Life can end too fast.
