If in my last Virily post I was talking about a great Marilyn Manson song in which official music video Johnny Depp appears, now I am talking about an even greater music video, the last one Marilyn Manson has produced.
This is not an original Marilyn Manson song. On the contrary, it is an American classic folk song that was first recorded in the year 1946. It has been covered plenty of times, relevant artists such as Tom Jones or Elvis Presley recorded it with the title “Run On”.
One of the last artists who covered this song with the original title: “God´s gonna cut you down” was Johnny Cash. But the music video Marilyn Manson has produced is pure gold. Watch it now.
Be careful Virily friend with all you do because “God´s gonna cut you down”.
MARILYN MANSON GOD´S GONNA CUT YOU DOWN
The version of Johnny Cash was so popular that people thought he was the original author. After the passing of Johnny Cash, a music video was made with many celebrities to pay homage to Johnny Cash. You can watch this music video now.
JOHNNY CASH GOD´S GONNA CUT YOU DOWN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJlN9jdQFScWhich version do you prefer??? The music video of Marilyn Manson is really powerful in my opinion.
I usually like Elvis Presley’s singing, but I preferred Johnny Cash’s version over Elvis, and I liked Johnny Cash’s version more than Marilyn Manson’s too.
Thanks a lot for your comment. I was very surprised to discover this song was so famous and has been covered so many times by so many artists. I prefer Johnny Cash´s version than the version of Elvis too. The song sounds better with Cash but for me, the music video of Marily Manson is really great.
Yes, I guess the music video does add something extra special to the music too.
I have never really listened to him sing before and I am a big Johnny Cash fan but this is all right he did a good job on the song. Very interesting.
Thanks a lot. Marilyn Manson covers the cover of Johnny Cash. It is funny
Think I like Johnny Cash better, but effective video.
Thanks a lot for your comment. I really like this song “God´s gonna cut you down”
I used like him a lot but I haven’t listen to Johnny cash in long , long, long time.
Thanks a lot for your comment. Have you liked the version of Marilyn Manson???
It does have that cash feel to it for sure!
Thanks a lot for your comment. I do really like the music video of Marilyn Manson.
Although I’m not a big fan of this singer, I like the song.
I like the song too. I really like the music video. Thanks a lot for commenting.
What is interesting about coveras is it to see how different artists interpret the same song and make it their own and unique. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for commenting and seeing it.
I could not access the link but watched it on YouTube. Two different takes on the song. Not a big Manson fan but he covered this one well. Very powerful.
Thank you very much. I knew you liked Johnny Cash as you met him. I really like the version of Marilyn Manson.
It seems that Manson’s best songs were songs that he took from others like this one and “Sweet Dreams” from Eurythmics.
No, it is not true, you can say: “the most popular” songs that people who do not like his music enjoy and know, but the truth is Marilyn Manson has produced an incredible amount of good songs but many people cannot understand his records. Cannot accept his greatness. Thanks a lot for your comment. Marilyn Manson is the author of many great songs. Another popular version he did was “Personal Jesus”
i have heard this – it came up on the Youtube channel I listen to last week.
I love this! he covers the song so well. Cash was such a talent, his voice is hard to equal. But Manson does a great job.
Thanks a lot. I really like the version of Marilyn Manson. I am watching the music video all the time. I love it.
music is the universal language of humanity. It is an expression of the possible! But also of the impossible.
his stuff has evolved over the years. That is the best part of any artist, is watching their evolution!
Yes, I am listening to different versions of this song in Spotify (Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Tom Jones) and I strongly believe Marilyn Manson has done a great job. The lyrics of the song are very interesting, I have learned new expressions like “back bitter” but the meaning of “rambler” is very open. I have found different meanings. What do you think the song means by an “rambler”???
rambler as you said has many meanings. My gut is that in this case (this is my opinion) it refers more to the traditional person that cannot stay in one place long.
Thanks a lot. Very interesting. As the song was written in 1946 perhaps the language of the lyrics is old fashioned. Another meaning of Rambler that I have found is: “A person who destroys the gardens, flowers and crops of other people” and also “A person who talks continuously in a crappy way”
my gut is it is the hobo/wandering soul meaning as that was the predominant meaning in the 1940s
Sorry, but the music video of Johnny Cash has not been included on the post, I do not know why, there is a link at least. I do not know what has happened.
