dbo:abstract
  • "Dark as a Dungeon" is a song written by singer-songwriter Merle Travis. It is a lament about the danger and drudgery of being a coal miner in a shaft mine. It has become a rallying song among miners seeking improved working conditions. The song achieved much of its fame when it was performed by Johnny Cash in his Folsom Prison concert (At Folsom Prison). During this live performance, one of the prisoners in the background was laughing, and Cash started to chuckle. He gently admonished the man, "No laughing during the song, please!" The man yelled something about "Hell!" and Cash answered, "I know, 'hell'!" When he finished the song, Cash made a comment that was largely repeated, somewhat out of context, by Joaquin Phoenix in the 2005 film Walk the Line: "I just wanted to tell you that this show is being recorded for an album released on Columbia Records, so you can't say 'hell' or 'shit' or anything like that."

  • Dark as a Dungeon est une chanson écrite par l'auteur-compositeur-interprète Merle Travis. C'est une complainte sur les dangers et la corvée de la vie de mineur dans un puits de mine de charbon des Appalaches. Elle est devenue une chanson de ralliement chez les mineurs pour trouver de meilleures conditions de travail. La chanson se fait particulièrement connaître lorsqu'elle est chantée par Johnny Cash, lors d'un concert le 13 janvier 1968 dans la prison d'État de Folsom en Californie, d'où est issu l'album At Folsom Prison. Dans l'épisode 6 de la saison 8 de la série télévisée The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon chante cette chanson durant sa préparation à la vie de minier avec Raj. * Portail de la musique country * Portail de la musique • section Chanson (fr)
