Johnny Cash - Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream

From the new album "American VI: Ain't No Grave" and this is my personal favorite song off the album

[@drbombay91765]

Mr. Cash was an Air Force veteran, and I can imagine that this song had special meaning for him.

[@marypierce-brosmer502]

Had not known he was in the AF, as was my shell-shocked father, WWII

[@barryboertje7236]

This song still brings tears in my eyes. The world is burning but this gives hope 😊

[@mons52]

They are gonna play this version at the ceremony when my family scatter my ashes over the sea. As a memento of my dreams in my life. As a man, a nurse, a psychologist and sailor.

[@guaddamassabi4702]

If all the people in the world would say, "I believe in my dreams! I believe in that dream!", this thing could really happen. Because it's our dreams that make things happen in the world. Too many people still dream of and believe in war, even if they don't realize it. Many little peaces sum up to peace around the world. I feel that deep in my heart that this day will come someday. - Thank you CashFan for posting this "world-hymn".

I can count the number of singers who break my heart on a regular basis on one hand. Johnny's one of them. He just had that power.

[@Prussia1991]

Who else? I would like to look them up.

[@patrickoconnor5511]

This is a very special song and I love this version

[@angiedick8015]

Such a beautiful soul.

[@JessieAWY97]

This song always makes me tear up all we have in this world is Hope for one day there will be peace among each other hopefully that will one day stop fighting each other stop killing each other and shake hands in peace that's all I ask RIP JOHNNY CASH

[@democratjoe]

Johnny cash may not win best vocalist of the 20th century, but he's the only one that can give me goose bumps

[@corneliadenninger5395]

Joe Landry You are so right !! Same to me!! /CD

[@Uschi4370]

"A Most Wonderful Dream" ... "Just Put An End To War" ... RIP Dearest Johnny Cash ...

[@u2freak]

Rest in peace Johnny! But I hope there will be an end of WAR everywhere!!!

[@Falconlibrary]

How about the next time the billionaires and their puppets in government declare a war, we just refuse to fight it? They can't fight their wars if we won't march. We have the power to end war if we find the courage to talk to other people instead of fighting them.

[@barryboertje7236]

Daniel Bradford , they will shoot you. Keyboard hero.

[@kellymiller8900]

Its upon us 3 years later! Peace!

[@h4ming]

That is indeed a strange dream, a room full of men putting an end to war.

[@danamcc221]

My dad, Ed McCurdy, wrote this song in 1950, but later changed the lyrics (sometime in the '80's I think) to read: "I dreamed I saw a mighty room, filled with women and men". He was a little head of the curve, in many ways. He didn't live to hear Jonny's rendition of it, but I think he would have appreciated it!

[@traviswadezinn]

Amen - may it be so

[@djephedu4238]

Speechles... So.. true and sad at the same time. Thanks for the clip. RIP TMIB

[@tomdandymusicandeverythingelse]

Johnny they Still don't listen 😔 Never go to war, let the ones go who started the war let the rich go and fight for whatever reason 🤪

[@MrOystein1977]

Wow!! Just wow!! Never heard this powerfull song sung by Johnny Cash.. His voicce was perfect for this song.. Wonder when he recorded it..

[@corneliadenninger5395]

MrOystein1977 Hey , that must have been recorded in 2003. Just before his passing. This is so deep and true !! Thank you John Cash for your music !! RIP. /CD

[@Mikey-lj2kq]

the way he sings it just make the song (and many other songs) so deep

[@davids7912]

This song gave me the chills great song.

[@Jm01394]

I'm at a peace conference in LA now watching the good folks milling around for Prem Rawat to speak. Cash as usual made me feel poignant, melancholic and beautiful!! Thanks to poster!

[@Rowe2010h]

Johnny Cash is man!!! R.I.P

[@ikoiko1day531]

This graph looks like the graphs Sam Carana has been making for more than ten years to show where we were heading! Kudos to you Sam Carana!

[@luv4soccerjuju]

so touching

[@MRForssander]

The best version ever of this song

[@danamcc221]

Here's another version I think is worth a listen: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3Lbc4OEbbWmp5I

[@danamcc221]

And here's composer Ed McCurdy's last (and best) recording of it, recorded, mixed, and produced by my brother Jim: soundcloud.com/mccurdyjim/last-night-i-had-the-strangest-dream

[@John-p9m2c]

Goin by the book was great, and then this………it’s amazing

I Love This Song. It Gets Me Everytime. :)

[@BluePatriotWoman]

@OCEANVIEWDUDE - This song has been drifting in and out of my head for a week or so. I'm so happy to have the chance to tell you how much it means to me. And I agree that of all ther versions currently on You Tube, this one really gets the beauty and the poignancy.

[@SisterPatGoad]

"...while swords and guns and UNIFORMS were scattered to the ground." .. NOT unicorns !!!!!.. to Zakarias Artman.

[@musicisbrilliant]

But Cash sings "Uniforms" here... ?

[@jesswilliam5346]

@@musicisbrilliant In Simon and Garfunkel's version it sorta sounds like unicorns

[@musicisbrilliant]

@@jesswilliam5346 Okay, got it! Thanks. :)

[@scottdavies1228]

Fantastic song sung brilliantly

[@kallenordvall]

Swedish-dutch singer Cornelis Vreeswijk made a beautiful translation of this song.

[@ChemistryAtomistic]

Last night I dreamed that exist love in this life... I was waking hand by hand with someone...

[@Jm01394]

Thanks! Most beautiful '!!!

[@liamhb7656]

yes. it would be PERFECT!

Powerful performance

What a dream that would be

[@Americansog]

Great

[@kyleshiflet9952]

I would love to see an end to war I work with veterans at a veterans home I'm a housekeeper I had a Vietnam vet tell me about his time there with in moments he balled his eyes out I to had tears this man was the only survivor of his platoon and saw a little girl shot infront of him

[@ecopeiproject]

great song written by Ed McCurdy ~ 1950 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_McCurdy

[@kathypiazza4567]

My sister in law taught this song to not only me but her three children knew it before they had entered school. Same with each of her grandchildren. I too have taught it to my brother’s kids. Again, when very young. They all sign it around camp fires with friends & at our families gatherings. One of the family traditions I hope never end, even when there’s no more war & it’s seen as a historic song.

[@2SMGanG]

@TheDesertsItalian That's exactly how i feel.There are Worlwide musical "legends", that can't even write "Music" correctly.This man was a genious: the lyrics are honest and pure,his voice was awesome and he played the guitar like a master.Lil' Wayne is just an "inutile",compared to Cash. I miss the old good music.it's sad to see that the 21 century has started with a negative musical progress.People like Cash are pearls in an ocean of auditive pain.

[@carpediem081791]

originated by Pete Seeger. This great anti-war classic became the official theme songs respectfully for the Peace Corps and VISTA.

[@danamcc221]

It was popularized by Pete, but it was written by Ed McCurdy.

[@John-p9m2c]

Johnny cash strongly believed in this song

[@kanlaw604]

very touching

[@okeneins]

thx for upload!!! Great!

[@MrOystein1977]

Who on earht gives this 16 thumbs down?? :(

Wouldn't it be something if we all went to bed tonight to wake up in the morning to find out that THE STRANGEST DREAM had come true? :)

[@izorroi]

I didn't even know there was english version

[@stevetracy2012]

Old Simon & Garfunkel tune - Johnny made it sound like he meant it

[@frullekool]

sjukt vackert!

[@BoNkErZchloe22]

@mick265 too true.

[@johnnywaters9999]

"Dammit this song is good & i wanna fight about it....& disembowel sum1" .u guys are funny.

[@ChristianGaylover]

Hmm. I thought this was his own and that he sang it like just before he died, but if you sang it as a kid... I don't know.

[@danamcc221]

It was written by Ed McCurdy in 1950, and later popularized by Pete Seeger. It's been covered by many other artists since then.

[@dbmusicz]

uniforms bro, uniforms.

[@mrbeast84]

I thought it was an old song by tradiotional scottish folk band the corries.

[@danamcc221]

Written in 1950 by folk singer Ed McCurdy.

"...while swords and guns and unicorns were scattered to the ground."

[@cmbitw9785]

lmao..

[@krystynamarioudi]

Uniforms x

[@danamcc221]

I actually heard someone sing it that way at the Canadian Songwriters awards celebration (when my dad received an award for it posthumously). The singer was very apologetic afterwards! :)

[@carpediem081791]

ya i think they're missing the point

[@chriscalvert5887]

Simon & Garfunkle cover. Very poignant at the moment 😞

[@DarkLordNick999]

Country sucks...but Cash is god!
