"God's Gonna Cut You Down" by Johnny Cash


You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John go do My will!"

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

That is so awesome. I'm not even religious, and I'm saying that song was cool as sh*t. Love that you used all the baddies, and Caleb and Pastor Jim. Just really like this.

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it! When I heard this song, all I could think was OMGWINCHESTERS!

[irda.livejournal.com]

Oooh, sounds nifty! I'll be downloading, thank you! :D

Good God, girl. I've never heard a song so perfect for vid before...It's fantastic. And your cutting was deft. Sometimes, there are just fannish things that should be canon. Fuck those pre-show vids at the end of the season, I want to see *this* kind of thing, all gritty and real, to introduce the show...you know?

Brilliant. Thank you for your work.

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

::Blushes:: Okay, this was officially the best way ever to start my morning! :-) Thank you so much for this feedback. I randomly heard the song about a month ago, and it just BEGGED to be vidded.

[fiona-fawkes.livejournal.com]

Oh, I really liked this. The black and white does pair well with the song, which was already on my SPN playlist. Nicely done.

[embroiderama]

Wow, this is awesome! CLip choice and song choice and everything--beautiful!

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

*Yoinks*

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

I cannot WAIT to hear wat you think about this!

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

About to watch it now! *Flails*

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

...

...I love this video so much I don't know where to begin. It's perfectly timed and beautifully put together and I can honestly say that you are my favorite vidder, period.

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

And I just recced you. Oops.

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

::Grins:: I'm so psyched you like this! It took for-freaking-ever to make because of the timing. I think I'm going to do something slow and emo without a driving, omg-must-time-gunshots-perfectly beat.

Thanks for the rec! :-D

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

This really was just completely magnificent. Everything fit so perfect and it shows that you spent so much time on the timing.

I think I'm going to do something slow and emo without a driving, omg-must-time-gunshots-perfectly beat.

Aww, so no vids to Closer - NIN with bright white flashes on the heartbeat? Damn. :P

Seriously though I cant wait to see your next vid, you hvae such amazing talent it's insane.

You totally deserve the rec.

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking of doing "You Can Sleep While I Drive" by Melissa Etheridge. The WORST thing about making vids is you can't EVER listen to music without thinking, "Hmmm can this be vidded?" I just heard this Melissa Etheridge song like two hours ago, and now the vidbunnies are eating my brain!

(And I'm absolutely in awe of people who can make awesome graphics and icons. I have Photoshop, but no clue how to use filters and cool things like that. I want to learn how to make pretty pretty headers like yours!)

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

I think I can sympathize with you. I can't vid but I do try my hand at graphics and I can't seem to look at a header or icon sometimes without imagining it a little bit different here, or with a different picture there...

The very worst part though is when I see an icon that I would love to use if not for one thing. Because then you get tempted to duplicate it without that one thing, which is a huge faux pas in graphics.

I want to learn how to make pretty pretty headers like yours!

Thank you! It's pretty much all about having enough free time to just sit in front of your computer and play Trial and Error. Go one by one through your filters and layers and play around until you've got the hang of things.

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

Filters and layers. Yeah, I should probably find some of those, huh?

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

Possibly. :P

[meivocis.livejournal.com]

Wow, loved it! I'm a big fan of the song anyway but I'm in awe of what you did with it, great clip selection/transitions and the black and white fits perfectly.

*runs off to watch again*

[fiddleyoumust.livejournal.com]

This is a thing of awesome.

[merctales.livejournal.com]

It's a beautiful, beautiful thing.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

That was fucking brilliant. And I loved that it was done in black and white.

[arabella-hope.livejournal.com]

This is absolutly amazing - one of my favs!

[dotfic.livejournal.com]

Very well done! (Took a download of YSI #2)

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

i have chills down my spine. gritty and raw and has that 'bigger than life' feel to it. excellent, excellent work.

[eva-rosen.livejournal.com]

My idiot brother erased it from my computer and the file is expired! Can you reupload? This is the best Supernatural vid ever.

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

Here is a shiny new YSI Link (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=38C7C04844319C8A). Glad you liked the vid!

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

Here you go. YSI Link (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=46C1FF6B1937295E)

Enjoy!

[dahliablue.livejournal.com]

Would you mind uploading this vid? I've seen it recc'd and I'd love to see it.

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

Here you go. YSI Link (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=46C1FF6B1937295E)

Be sure and tell me what you think of it! :-)

[dahliablue.livejournal.com]

That was simply awesome. I love, love the grainy film noir texture to it. It was so effective with the song and the clips you chose. I'll bet that was bloody hard to edit to the beat, but you did an excellent job. Being beat obsessed myself, I was wowing at the gunshots you matched with the beats. Love that. Your hard work paid off. THanks for reuploading it. I can easily see why it was recc'd. :)

[alwyshrt1uluv.livejournal.com]

hey, could you reupload one of the links? I wanna see this, and since Iit was recced twice I'm pretty sure I'd put it in my favs.

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

Here you go - YSI Link (http://download.yousendit.com/468F294B2E401E09).

Let me know what you think!

[alwyshrt1uluv.livejournal.com]

I loved it, Johnny Cash and the black/white was perfect, as was the "God said John go do my will" part. The timing was great, as was the lyrics to show (which is my main thing), so definitly saving.

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! Out of all the vids I've done, that one is still my favorite.

[bluerosefairy.livejournal.com]

Any chance of getting a new download link? I saw this recced while browsing supernaturalvid, and I love this song. So perfect for the show.

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

Eek, LJ decided to not send comments again, and I just now read this. I was having some server issues last month, but you should be able to download it now. Hope you enjoy!

[alion66.livejournal.com]

Hi!
Where can I download your vids from? I've been reading some very enthusiastic recs, but none of your links seem to be working.
