johnny cash - 'out among the stars'

Lifted from the 'lost' 80s studio album, the people behind the posthumous project have released a lyric video to accompany the release of this single. As with a lot of Cash's output, the upbeat tune belies the dark subject matter. Thinking about it now, it's almost his signature tune, so to speak. As for the tune, it's good but hasn't dated as well as I had hoped it would. The 80s weren't kind to Cash, musically and this shows in the cheesy chorus that threatens to ruin (but doesn't quite, thankfully) the main thrust of the song.
