Ding ding ding! You are correct! Now you realize you're going to have to go and give them a listen, right?! ;-) I also love some of his late-in-life covers, like the haunting ''Hurt'' by Nine Inch Nails. The video is deeply bittersweet.

response: Seems like a lot of his music revolved around themes of sorrow, morals and redemption
