MEGADETH - À Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)"

This song has a interresting history: First, "A Tout le Monde" wss the fourth song on Megadeth's 1994 album Youthanasia. Beginning with a melancholy acoustic rhythm and Dave Mustaine's softly spoken vocals, the subject of the song ponders a life that, for whatever reason has clearly approached the end.
Fast forward to 2007, more than a decade later.
A new, faster version of "A Tout le Monde" is released, to be included on Megadeth's upcoming album, United Abominations. It is sung as a duet along with Cristina Scabbia, singer of the Italian gothic metal band Lacuna Coil. This is the first single released from the album with a new music video made for it. The song has the revised title "A Tout le Monde (Set Me Free)" to distinguish it from the original.

JOHNNY CASH - "God's Gonna Cut You Down"

Johnny Cash recorded a version of "God's Gonna Cut You Down" before his death in 2003. The song as it appears on American V: A Hundred Highways features an arrangement quite different from most known gospel versions of the song. The song is presented with a rhythmic stomp-clap downbeat, and, as opposed to most others, is grim and pessimistic in its portrayal of a vengeful and uncompromising God, serving as a warning to sinners.

A music video was made for this version in late 2006. It featured a number of celebrities, including Iggy Pop, Kanye West, Chris Martin, Kris Kristofferson, Patti Smith, Terrence Howard, Flea, Q-Tip, Adam Levine, Chris Rock, Justin Timberlake, Kate Moss, Sir Peter Blake, Sheryl Crow, Dennis Hopper, Woody Harrelson, Amy Lee, Tommy Lee, the Dixie Chicks, Mick Jones, Sharon Stone, Bono, Shelby Lynne, Anthony Kiedis, Travis Barker, Lisa Marie Presley, Kid Rock, Jay-Z, Keith Richards, Billy Gibbons, Corinne Bailey Rae, Johnny Depp, Graham Nash, Brian Wilson, Rick Rubin and Owen Wilson. It also briefly features archive footage of Cash himself. The video was shot entirely in black and white. Since its release, both the song and video have seen moderate airplay.
Here you can watch it as often as you like.
