That’s it? Wow you people have completely taken that out of context. This is actually making me mad now.
First he said the song sounded weird to him because it was his song being played differently. Then he said after seeing the video, it didn’t sound like his anymore. He’s saying “it wasn’t my song anymore” meaning he wasn’t hearing his song being played differently; he was hearing a completely different song. How you got that he meant the song belonged to Cash now, I have no idea. That’s completely crazy.

You're hearing what you want to hear. You don't say you finish watching a video with “tears welling, silence, goosebumps” just because its "being played differently."
“What I had written in my diary was now superimposed on the life of this icon and sung so beautifully and emotionally. It was a reminder of what an important medium music is. Goosebumps up the spine. It really made sense. I thought: ‘What a powerful piece of art.’ I never got to meet Johnny, but I’m happy I contributed in the way I did. It wasn’t my song any more.”
If you don't see it, it's because you either don't want to or you don't understand what he's saying when he uses the word superimposed.
