Lenny Kravitz talks about his connection to Johnny Cash and his song with the namesake

[@CWB1970]

Lenny is a good man. Straight up.

Thank you so much for sharing! And what a great, respectful interviewer who took the time to really listen and let Lenny tell everything and not interrupt him. Beautiful sad story that is and Lenny created a sweet sing from it.

Favourite song story from the new album. So touching and genuine. It must've been a beautiful experience despite the sadness.

I love Johnny Cash too😉

Damn... it’s amazing the stories songs tell through lyrics.

That's a beautiful story it didn't initially make sense when I first stumbled across the song and listened but I knew that the way it was produced / written clearly held a much deeper meaning. Just hearing him talk about it the fact that he didn't really know Johnny Cash and his wife June Carter that well yet they were there to console him when his mother passed. I can tell that it meant a lot to him because they were the only people around him when he got the news. And its like he said it was beautiful because they took the time to share in this heartbreaking human moment with him. To also know this was meant to be about him having to break up with someone when he didn't want to and asking them to comfort him in a way he'd never been comforted since his mother passed even that twist in the storyline makes me love the song even more. God truly gave him a special talent he's the type of artist who comes up with these lyrics that though he may not understand why he was guided to write it he makes a connection later. That's talent right there he's one of the rare few to have that type of gift. Everything about this song is truly special and I enjoyed listening to this story it makes more sense now. I have even more respect for this humble down to earth man ❤

I hope he still doesn’t feel guilty. People often wait until their loved ones leave to pass. I think sometimes they somehow must know that it’s their time, and they don’t want you to see it

[@freetobe2111]

Very touching indeed. Okay - why are Johnny and June Cash staying in Rick Rubin‘s house with Lenny Kravitz what am I missing here. I mean why are Johnny and June in Rick Rubin‘s house can I make it any clearer. Honest question.

[@phoenixduke540]

Supposedly Johnny was there recording his last album Hurt. I saw Lenny talking about this in another interview.

[@vandaangellozzi1990]

Exactly, why were they roommates and did not even talk that much apart from saying hello to each other!

[@msmmagnum]

Even the interviewer looked disconnected and struggling to comprehend what he was hearing, they cut off the rest of the interview Lenny went on to say that John Lennon was cutting the grass and Elvis was cleaning his car across the street

[@michaelwuttke5841]

@@vandaangellozzi1990 Rick Rubin was producing both of their records. They probably don’t live in Los Angeles so I’m guessing he offered them to all stay with him, while they were recording.

[@BOOMNERD51]

And this song soothed me at the shock of Johnny's "Hurt" video not remembering 9 inch nails version nor knowing how late in both John and June's lives this was. Makes me love both songs more.
