I’m not afraid of dying
I’m afraid of everyone I care about dying.

Marcus Witting 15*
Me too
Marcus Witting why does their age matter?
Ur like 15 relax
I know I’m not the only one, but “everyone I know goes away in the end” hits harder and harder the older I get.
Your not the only one
Well I’ll see you in the end hope somethings there ?
Yep. Especially after "what have I become, my sweetest friend". Its a gut wrenching song, with different meanings, but both versions can rip you in two. Pure brilliance.
And we'll miss them. We always will. And is not a bad thing.
They do all go away, don't they? The reality of "life" is that it always ends in "death."
I can think of no greater honor than to have Johnny Cash cover a song you wrote as his final goodbye.
Trent Reznor, from Nine Inch Nails, said once Johnny Cash covers your song, it's no longer yours. Trent said this with immense respect and gratitude .
He gave it to to the man.
He meant it as the greatest honor and gratitude, ole Johnny Boy did Trent solid I would say
During my last visit with my father , before he passed away, he made the comment that he’d not accomplished much. I was taken aback by this statement as he’d accomplished so much and was so giving of his talents and gifts to others. I later realized he was speaking as a man who could see his life coming to an end. We will always wish we could have done more. Rest in peace, my precious, beloved daddy, my hero.
So sorry for the loss of your father. I bet he was an amazing person ❤
❤❤❤love man ❤
Meu filho é apaixonado por esse cara,por sua história de vida ,seu grande amor e suas músicas. Acho que já viu o filme da vida dele uma dezena de vezes. Tenho 58 e meu garoto 20 anos,aprendi a gostar de J.Cash com meu filho. Deus abençoe você e receba J.Cash.
rest in peace GOAT 🕊🙏
We all leave behind our experiences and wisd9m. Sometimes, it is not that evident, little things are never forgotten
“Money can’t buy back your youth when you’re old, a friend when you’re lonely, or peace to your soul.” Johnny Cash
So fucking true the truest thing I ever heard
Thats beautiful
Money can’t buy love
That’s fucking deep , but so true ... everyone I care about goes away eventually... Just how it’s always been I honestly don’t know why
True men, but its ironic. His surname is Cash
9 Inch Nails "Hurt": A man slowly losing his mind wanting to die.
Cash's "Hurt": A tired old man who is ready to die.
mrquackadoodlemoo really shows it in his voice. Plus the fact that he died 7 months after this
@Lorem Ipsum Jonny cash was talking about heroin abuse as he was a successful rehab patient, the song is about how drugs destroy the person and their family.
Thank you. That was a nice add.
Ki Joyce No he wasn’t because he didn’t write the lyrics
Aedon L. Actually yes he was . He was quoted saying he wish he wrote this
“Trust gets you killed, love gets you hurt and being real gets you hated.” -Johnny cash
Awesome quote. Thanks for sharing.
The way June looks at him breaks me every time. She passed three months later.
Who is June?
@@trollmagnet8265 Johnny Cash's wife. He died a few months after her
@@TheFirstWhiteRangerScary how that happens. My pappy died and, like I think not even a week after my grandma died. I didn’t know them that much, but my pappy was a cool dude from the times I do remember seeing him.
I like to think this was John's way of apologizing to June.
@@trollmagnet8265June cash his wife
“One of the saddest and most memorable songs in all of history.”
It's not sad, it's power. The story of someone realising that they let it all go but can get it all back. But to do so they need to stand, and fight. Themselves.
czcams.com/video/KR4DjYczINM/video.html it was a cover.... a good one but it was in fact a cover song
@@TurtleIsSlow2469 So what. It is considered to be one of the best covers and greatest videos of all-time. When the guy who wrote and originally performed the song remarks: "that song isn't mine anymore", that says it all.
Agreed
REM all around me is sadder
Reznor's version is a young man battling self-destructive tendencies.
Cash's version is an old man near the end of his life, looking back on past regrets.
Reznor said in an interview after hearing Johnny Cash's cover it was weird. He realized the song wasn't his anymore.
@@patraic5241 i just decided to learn playing this song today like right now.and yeah I saw that interview where Trent said it's not his song anymore. Thats comming a lot from someone like him his songs are too personal.
Crazy how the exact same song can be two totally different songs at the same time!
@@patraic5241 originally he hated the cover. Saying it was like someone fucking his girlfriend. After seeing it blow up and actually listening to it he admitted it was like realizing "his girl" was better off with someone else.
@@R0FLC4T5 not exactly true. He liked it when he watched the music video before it was all released and that's when he understood it and fell in love with the cover.
My teacher gave this for homework, so here I am. Never heard of Johnny Cash or this song, but it was well worth it and I see why our teacher wanted us to watch it.
That is a good teacher.
W Teacher
Im not a country fan but my dad loved Cash and he passed it down to me, you should watch the movie about his life, Walk the Line, its excellent
watch metokur next
Be thankful for your teacher, she knows a masterpiece that she shared.
It is truly shameful that the CMA's didn't recognize the brilliance of the American Recordings by Cash until after his passing. Cash is on the Mount Rushmore of Country music and will always be seen as a pioneer. This just shows his greatness even later in his life.
Yes...
Agreed, Merle, Conway, Waylon, George Jones, Charlie Daniels, Don Williams as well!!!
People don’t love you till you’re gone….
And I say who cares what plastic people think
They wouldn't care anyway
He's *71,* his voice is wearing out, he's 6 months away from dying, but he still picked up his guitar and did the best he could do. LEGEND!
Not just did his best but the best. This song can never been done better.
he didnt play the actual melody, did he? i've heard he wasnt able to.
Sounded like a goodbye and sorry for past hurts. Nine Inch Nails cant touch that old boy.
RIP Man In Black
@@brodie2005thegamer I've looked and there's no reports of Clint Eastwood's death, Alex Trebek is dead tho
Man, it hurts, no pun intended. I know a 76 year old and the day he dies will be the worst thing to happen to me.
Cash's version of this song is great, but the old footage interspersed throughout the video just enhances the meaning and pushes it over the top. Like life flashing before his eyes in his final days.
Wow
So true 💔
So true
Oh damn y'all here too for the free snacks
Love your channel guys!
If Johnny Cash covers a song you wrote, it is no longer your song. It belongs to the ages.
💯 ❤
I Think Trent Reznor said the same thing when he hears Johnny Cash’s version
@musik3030 that comment is 💯% true
It's indeed a quote from him. I modified it somewhat with some of my own thoughts.
Doesn't matter how old you are but when you sing this one, you'll sing as if you're 84..
It was written by a young man hahaha
An old man reflects on his life before he faces eternity. God bless Johnny Cash's soul.
Amen brother, amen....
@8-Bit Andy With everything going on in the world in these current times, I believe you're very right. Soon.
Perhaps he may become a highway man again.
@@ShainAndrews I don't doubt for you there was seemingly nothing, however I believe it differs for many people. For example some people who have died and been revived have recounted seeing their loved ones that have passed, seen Saint Peter, Jesus/heaven, seen their loved ones still alive from above, some have even seen what could resemble hell, scary things etc.
@@KickingAssDaily another awesome tune
even in 2020, we still miss you, Johnny.
He had a hell of a life
On god
Very true
@@eddyavitia1177 *satan
Me too
One thing I noticed that shows how powerful and encaptivating this song is is that when you hover over the play bar, there are no spikes or sudden drop-offs; it's a solid line. Nobody is skipping to any part; they all want to hear it start to finish.
There is one spike. The beginning….
So be it
This man saved my life. His words guided me through a darkness I never imagined walking through. Addiction to heroin is horrible. its so sad how people treat you.
I remember asking myself WHAT HAVE I BECOME,
saying EVERYONE I KNOW GOES AWAY IN THE END
I DID LET THEM DOWN, I DID MAKE THEM HURT.
Until i met my wife to be ..., and then i remembered he said
If i could start again, a million miles away, i would keep myself, i would find a way.
I did keep myself, i found a way. I started again, a million miles away.
A million miles away from the hell i was in. To the love, unconditional love from my wife.
My Pap admired this man. He played that song when I confessed my addiction.
He said he understood, and that I should try and do as he said, ajd he was right,
I found out the others were someone else, i am still right here 😊
Blessings to you ❤️❤️❤️
Glad to hear this! Keep moving forward!! God bless!
Conseguiu vencer !
I didn't have the addiction but I HAD the despair. Live long and prosper.
I don’t think there has ever been a more pure look into the window of someone’s soul than this recording. It’s a masterpiece.
Masterpiece, how this man reflects on his past, it's real.
It's extremely fitting that he didn't write the song either, just like all his other shit
Seems like you don't know that it is just a cover and not his song at all.
@@wizewizard1840 Of course I know that Trent Reznor wrote the song. But it takes on a whole different perspective with Johnny Cash singing it. The song is applicable to both of them. But as Reznor said, “the Song is no longer mine anymore”. To me, it’s like Reznor Received this song From that magical place where songs come from and he was just a vessel to get the words to Johnny Cash. And the rest is history as they say. Kudos to Rick Rubin for getting this out of Johnny Cash.
@@frankinvan You should look up the rest of that quote, you're taking completely out of context. Trent still plays his superior version of his song live. The woman beater Cash received Trent's song from that magical place he received every other one of his songs from, an actually literate song writer.
Sad fact: Johnny died a few months after the death of his wife of 34 years, and his stepdaughter died one month after. They are all buried together.
Not sad beautiful really
@@TorahObservantUnitarian Death is both tragic and beautiful
I was curious and confirmed this. June Carter Cash passed in May '03, Johnny that September, and Rosie Nix Adams in October. They're buried at Hendersonville Memory Gardens along with some other Carter family musicians. And yes, the Carters are distantly related to POTUS Jimmy Carter. For anyone else curious.
Sad and beautiful indeed. Just like "Hurt."
@hello is it me youre looking for it's the best and most scary ride you will ever go on
@@wintersnoob What the heck?
Why the hell death should be beautiful?
Death is the End for everything, this is not beatiful, is just the end.
This came out a month before my dad was diagnosed with a terminal neurological degenerative brain disease called FTD, he loves Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash was sincerely telling a story. We want someone to listen and not go down that path. And yet we find ourselves repeating
Seeing a young man regret his life decisions is sad, but we know they have time to make plenty of good decisions in the future. Seeing Johnny Cash here, at the end of his life, is straight up tragic. The way he sings it with so much emotion, the fantastic video showing his legacy and life. It's the most heart-breaking piece of media ever.
Why did it got deleted?
@@lukasrbic6008 Because they wanted to upload it in this channel i guess

To add to that, they probably didn't want the two to be confused.

I read that Cash felt that a year after his death, the world would have forgotten about his music and his life...
169 million views...
RIP, Sir...
Very well put!
ABSOLUTELY NEVER would we have forgotten this man's amazing life and story or music! I just introduced the 18yo on the line at the factory last night to this amazing artist with the song "One Piece at a Time ".
this video had something like 50M views back before they deleted the 'unofficial' channel's video and put this up. It was one of the most viewed music videos on youtube at the time.
...well after all every one of us is still searching for the comfort in The Music... Depending on our in-the-time situation we do apply for ourselves "something" that soothes our minds... The "Hurt" fills everything I need at the moment... It is just PERFECT
169 million views and counting. Nobody should forget Johnny Cash and the impact he made on this world.
regrets? you bet. This is so haunting and a confession in itself.
Hello is full of the lovely things like the morning sun, the gleaming dew drops, the sparkling rain, the vast blue sky, the whistles of chirping birds, the beauty of the sea. Hope you're doing great and in good health?

U have to look back to learn
To move Forward
RIP Mr. Johnny Cash
This was quite literally Cash's final farewell song to the world. It was filmed in February 2003. His wife, June Cash (seen in the video at 2:34), died 3 months after this video was made in May 2003. Cash died just 4 months after his wife at the same hospital as his wife in September 12, 2003. At the time of this filming, Johnny Cash and his wife were both experiencing serious health problems. He surely spent a lot of time reflecting on his life and mortality during these painful times.
Santo Diego where do you see that he calls him a Hero?!
@Santo Diego let he among us without sin be the first to condemn
2:05 “I cannot repair” he turns his head to show his face that still droops from a stroke. He sits in front of a table of rotting food. He had autonomic neuropathy which means causes the stomach to severely delay emptying among other symptoms. This video is such an amazing use of visual metaphor
@Santo Diegothey didn't mention anything of him being a hero, they were just sharing a sad fact about the video
Santo Diego Yeah. When he was like 20, and than he dropped drugs and got married in. 1968 and lived married to June for like 33 years
You didn’t let us down,
But you did make it hurt.
Rest in peace, Johnny
1932 - 2003
Absolutely.
tears...
When Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuked he was 13.

What a legacy! Love this man!
This is the anthem of a man realizing what matters in life.
Exactly right. most dont get it, most think its a goodbye, when its really just sticking it to them all that let him down and i hope they do enjoy his Empire of Dirt he left for them. because thats all its really worth in the end... Dirt!
I am 55 almost 56 this year, listened to this man from birth as my parents loved him so much.. this is the saddest song ever and something i would even put in my wishes during burrial to play. My last Hoorah.
Lifes Tough, then you die.
thats when we will finally have peace.
much love from the caribbean.
my other favorite song is by James Blunt, Chase the monsters away... I actually sat with my dad in his last few minutes of life listening to this song together. I believe it helped him not be afraid...
czcams.com/video/DTFbGcnl0po/video.htmlsi=b-KLRfWbp8Tdpyj7
It the final roar of a great lion.. Knowing he's close to the end. It's impactful now looking at my daughter getting so big.. And her realizing I'm not immortal or the one that will be forever protecting her
Which is ironic because the NIN version is of a man who doesn't care for it
Well said. All the money I’ve made and the stuff I have bought doesn’t mean damn thing. The people that I have loved and have loved me I have found to be priceless.
An old man facing his end, looking back at everything he’s ever done, knowing he’s gonna die soon. Such a sad song...
Sad yet beautiful.
U must find joy in the life u were giving make it a good one because it's the only lufe it going to have
The saddest part for me is :"everyone I know, goes away, in the end." My grandfather said once something similar to me, and this makes me scared of being old.
The sadness I've always thought of, is that people cannot possibly live long enough to see the true depth of their works. I don't always care for his music, but this song just gets me. And as long as the song exists, it will touch people. Maybe he DID get to start again. He died as a man, and was reborn in the spirit of his music.
His wife, June Carter, that we can see in the video, died a couple of months after the video was filmed. Johnny Cash died 4 months after her.
This video is an epitaph.
Hearing Cash refer to all of his wealth and fortune as an “empire of dirt” really hits you right in the soul
I saw this on a friend's 50-inch TV, really loud,I starting crying,went past all my defense,hit "home", being an American-born songwriter living in Sweden...
@@chadtheboris wouldn’t go that far
I know he didn't write this song but it resonated with him because of its message. What really matters at the end of our lives isn't the awards, promotions or financial success. What counts are the decisions we've made and how they affected others. I hope this was cathartic for him and that he also remembered he did a lot of good things.
@@chadtheboris means a lot when you can ensure your kids kid’s grandchildren will have good lives
It truly does
I normally do not care for covers but wow this one is the exception
2024, 35, going through a divorce, financial issues, depression... This song hits me really really hard now, Johnny.
Be strong, the pain will pass and you have a new life ahead. Focus on the future, that you will be in control of.
keep your chin up. life is beautiful, as are you.
I wish you so much luck going through it...
Keep up the faith that things will be better….I myself, married for 32 years, am going through hell with a wife that needs hormone treatments or something. We raised 3 sons and after the last one moved out, empty nest syndrome kicked in. She went from being a heart of gold to the Wicked Witch….I am being patient but it’s definitely hard to live with her being like this. Thought the Golden Years were when the kids moved out, not here!
You will find a way to
Im not too much of an emotional person but wow. This song just had me blubbering. Watching a man near the end of his life coming to truly accept the worthlessness of worldly things just hits me.
You should check out his song "The man comes around". Oof that shit is pretty powerful too and beyond biblical rapture shit.
Me too
@@Superkaioken87 I just checked it out. Thank you for introducing that to me. I love that Johnny probably has plenty of non Christian fans, but he isnt afraid to reference the Bible.
It is almost he would have been a bad man, in the way he says, wouldn't he? I don t say he was.
@@untio i think as hes reflecting he now starts to see that all the money and fame he had and all the people he knew cant save him from facing mortality.
RIP Mr. Cash
1932 - 2003
Your music and memory will live on forever and ever.😔
My Uncle Johnny Cash is alive and well.

Better than what we have today
@Dzianis Liahkou He was great on picking out those base notes in his early songs.
Then take away the "rip" from your last comment
i remember my sister basically forcing me to get in her car because she wanted to show me a song. The only time in my life this happened. She was a huge NIN fan and i was kind of a fan due to my proximity to her. I wasn''t a country fan and definitely not a johnny cash fan. We threw this song on and I was struck at tis beauty. I still listen to it all these years later.
"I will keep myself". most important words. never sell yourself.

It's like a pallet of cinder blocks on your chest.....
it’s beautiful that this song was originally sang by a young man who was searching for himself that was just beginning life, and was then covered by a man at the end of his life looking back at his accomplishments and wishing he could go back. truly beautiful, and truly one of the greatest covers of a song ever.
Same can be said of his cover of "In My Life"
And realized it was all "dirt."
What tops it all off is Trent gave Johnny the song. Not because it was Johnny Cash, because he put more power to the words he written. A rare instance of giving back the torch so he could burn that much brighter.
@@uncleseamus4289
"Reznor was initially unsure about Cash covering his song, fearing that it would be “gimmicky”, and he was not blown away when he first heard Cash’s version. But when he saw the video, this changed. With “tears welling, silence, goosebumps”, he recognised its significance.
Reznor’s “valentine to the sufferer” at that point became Cash’s swan song. After watching it, Reznor said: “That song isn’t mine any more.”
---The Financial Times
'nuff said you said it best
How a song can have a completely different meaning depending upon who sings it.
Your listening to a man that knows his days are numbered and it’s reflecting on what it all means
It didn't help him that June Carter went first.
A swan song for the ages. He passed very shortly after this was released.
And yet the song was written by someone fairly young
@@brian4180 Trent reznor. But does it really matter? Some times others can explain what we are trying to say better then we can
We all walk this path. A tragic mystery, we can only understand when we stand in its full embrace. My sweetest friend.

this song feels almost like it was writen for him, it is probably the best cover ever just for that fact alone

"That song isn't mine anymore." ~Trent. Respect 100. I am an old 90s goth kid so naturally Trent is well known to me. My grandmother also always (kindly) called me the man in black because of said gothness, and her fondness for Mr. Cash.

Man, this is just so moving. I have watched it many times and it always reduces me to tears. R.I.P Johnny Cash.

Im a 13 year old boy, and I have always admired Johnny Cash, and in all my heart I say that I can just see the pain in this poor mans heart, and when I say I cried, I mean I really cried hard. You can see this poor mans pain, and it really hurts to see a fine gentleman like Johnny Cash suffer with pain. I was raised around both my mother, and my grandpa, and being around my grandpa taught me about hundreds of amazing song writers and legends, and one of those ledgends would be a Man In Black, Johnny Cash.

Trent Reznors Words and Johnny Cash’s Voice / Life…. A Collusion of Greatness… a 69 year old man who is Facing the End… this Video Cuts Deep ❤️
I think the saddest part is the way he closed the piano: he knows it’s over.
he R.I.P
This song was one of the first that made me stop and think what he was thinking
Swear Jar He knew already son, he knew already.
Able to sing brilliantly to the very end. Not many can, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and ???
I'm 43 and there already every family member since I don't have kids and almost all my friends are dead. Family from age and illness friends from drugs accidents and gin shots I'm Italian Jamaica queens we let our guns bust, it's shame I'm still here to miss them all and be alone
What hurts the most was the fact that Cash was ready to leave, the tiredness of his voice says it all.
😢
I think he had come to peace with his past, forgiven himself, and found happiness with God and June. When she was gone, I think he was ready to join her.
I think his wife passing was the nail in his coffin. He had no reason to stay anymore. Exactly what my granpop told me when my grams passed, " Just waiting impatiently to be reunited with my best friend cause the world is cold and dark without her!" were his words. They were together since she was 14 & she passed at age 69. Anywhats, yes... u can hear the weariness in his voice.

Every single time I hear this song brings tears to my eyes, sometimes I need to hear it to appreciate life, friends and family......one thing I know that goes up but doesn't come down is AGE!
Trent Reznor says about the Cash version of Hurt: "I'd been friends with Rick Rubin for several years. He called me to ask how I'd feel if Johnny Cash covered Hurt. I said I'd be very flattered but was given no indication it would actually be recorded. The idea sounded a bit gimmicky. Two weeks went by. Then I got a CD in the post. I listened to it and it was very strange. It was this other person inhabiting my most personal song. I'd known where I was when I wrote it. I know what I was thinking about. I know how I felt. Hearing it was like someone kissing your girlfriend. It felt invasive". Johnny played this song over 100 times before he recorded it. He called it "The best anti-drug song I ever heard." The song was released as a single in 2003. "One Hour Photo" director Mark Romanek said: “I begged Rick Rubin to let me shoot something to that track” being instantly enamored of the rendition, he offered to shoot the video for free. Universal eventually agreed to the music video, but with 71-year-old Cash’s health declining and being unwilling to stay long in the cold Tennessee weather as he was going on holiday to his ranch in Jamaica that coming Saturday, Romanek had only days to make the video and after scouting in Nashville, he decided upon Cash’s home and museum in Hendersonville, Tennessee, The House of Cash. "Arriving on Friday with no idea of what I was going to make" Romanek said. "I looked around the house and made a few suggestions of where we might film Johnny performing. I was making it up off the top of my head. Then I went to the House of Cash Museum and found it in total disrepair. There was no time to clean it up so I decided that I'd just film it, and Johnny, exactly as they were. He was no longer in his prime - he was fading and that was what I wanted to show. The place was in such a state of dereliction. That’s when I got the idea that maybe we could be extremely candid about the state of Johnny’s health - as candid as Johnny has always been in his songs. While I was filming the opening segment of Johnny playing guitar in his living room, his wife, June, came down the stairs and watched. The look on her face was so complex: full of love and pride and concern for her husband. So I asked her if I could film her too and she agreed. But the most important element was when we discovered a film archive in the museum. When we looked back at the rushes we'd filmed at the house we thought they were good but not great. But once we dropped in the archive footage of Johnny we realized that was the soul of the video. The whole thing was so spontaneous. It's made me realize that sometimes you can be too prepared and that there's some value to urgency." The music video speaks about the transience of life, the gracelessness of death, the Ozymandian crumbling of an oeuvre and the decline of a genre, an era and an attitude. The ‘closed to public’ sign on the museum. The cracked platinum records. The caviar and lobster banquet with no diners. The clips from earlier in Johnny’s career. His wife June looking on. The closed piano lid. The video was so intimate that Cash's management didn't think it should be released, and Johnny was leaning in that direction. According to Rick Rubin, it was his daughter, Rosanne Cash, who convinced Johnny to let it go. June died May 15th, 2003, three months after filming, Johnny died September 12, 2003 four months after his wife. Rick Rubin said of the video: “I cried the first time I saw it. If you were moved to that kind of emotion in the course of a two-hour movie, it would be a great accomplishment. To do it in a four-minute music video is shocking. I think the hurt video is a historical document, it's like looking back across a life." Trent Reznor was sent the video while in the studio with Rage Against the Machine’s Zach De La Rocha, and, when the pair sat down to watch it, any doubts he had about the cover were long gone. “We were in the studio, getting ready to work and I popped it in,” said Reznor. "Tears started welling up. I realized it wasn't really my song anymore. It just gave me goose bumps up and down my spine. By the end I was really on the verge of tears…there was just dead silence. There was, like, this moist clearing of our throats and then, ‘Uh, okay, let’s get some coffee.' It really, really made sense and I thought what a powerful piece of art. I never got to meet Johnny but I'm happy I contributed the way I did. It felt like a warm hug. It's an unbelievably powerful piece of work. After he passed away I remember feeling saddened, but being honored to have framed the end of his life in something that is very tasteful. For anyone who hasn't seen it, I highly recommend checking it out. I have goose bumps right now thinking about it. Having Johnny Cash, one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time, want to cover your song, that's something that matters to me. It's not so much what other people think, but the fact that this guy felt that it was worthy of interpreting. " by Cody Flanagan
Thanks for posting this. I loved reading it.
This felt like the most heartwarming/wrenching short novel ever, I'm going to have to watch the interview
Great stuff. An amazing insight
@@clownmoshpit2778 ohhh HI Blam
Thank you
Can’t get through this song without getting choked up. Never has someone so completely owned a cover song like Johnny did here.
five finger death punch gone away !
Hendrix all along the watchtower
Storm Ghost that ones up there. Jimi certainly made that song his own. The difference for me is that the entire perspective and view point of the song changed between Cash’s and Trent’s versions. You can sense Johnny feeling his own interpretation of the lyrics.
It is amazing - as is the original from 9 inch nails what about Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
@@Ralphanthonybianscomusic you're right, hendrix make watchtower 100x more awesome but cash took hurt, combined it with his own life and pain, and completely changed the song
This reminds me of my father so much, 53 years old, 11 years since my father died and still I cry when I hear this. I grew up with Johnny Cash since my father loved his music which made me love it too. Even if this is a cover, it is the impact of his voice and the feeling that he means what he sings, just not words but a truth.
My King, My voice...my loudspeaker, may you rest in peace.
Singing up until the day he died. He is incomparable.
Try 'call me kevin'
James brown did that too
@@mrhydratedhydrated2175 have you praised the dear leader today?
B.B king did that as well
mr hydrated i just saw that like an hour ago 👌
I'm 71... this song makes me cry like a baby.... the closer you get to The End. The more profound this song becomes...😢
Thank you, That means the song will get 21 years better for me before I am your age. And I already love it with all my heart. This is the soundtrack to ROCK BOTTOM. :)
It feels heavy for me and I'm just 13
I'm 45 mate and this song still makes me cry like a baby 😢and I grew up with the original nine inch nails song 😢 it doesn't belong to Trent razor anymore 😢
Just 28, but..ç
@Isaac Gould little brother... don't worry to much. Just have fun.
It's just a gamble from day 1.
By far the greatest cover song of all time
Wow 😢 i felt every word he sang. This is Deep
This isn't a song . This is something beyond just music. This is the representation of an broken down Soul
but what happened he had committed?
It's Heart wrenching
Heartfelt comment here, I listened to this song when I was severely depressed. I'm gonna be honest there was a period of time where I didn't want to do it anymore. But looking back I think this song was somewhat soothing to me. The lyrics are so relatable bc as u said they're a representation of a broken down soul which is how I felt. I'm thankful for this song existing, it made me feel understood. FYI I'm fine now, those days are long behind me :))) but just thought I'd share anyway
@@orlandopercyromeromachuca4640 his wife had died, he died not long after this. This song isn't an original Johnny Cash song though, it's originally done by Nine Inch Nails
After so many wars I decided I will become me.
"It's not my song anymore" - Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails)
@Jack seriously
@Jack You're an idiot.
@Jack Jack, you just don't get it! THINK what did Trent say
@Jack hes fucking dead u dumbass!? What in world were u fucking thinking!?
You wrote for him and did not know it until now
Johnny Cash is still the man guy is timeless
Grown man crying imma play this wen I take my last breath
Doesn’t matter if he’s 20 or 70, he’s got the best voice in country history
Damn right
Agreed
Honestly I'd say third best(across all genres in terms of conveying emotion) after Freddie Mercury and Paul Anka. That's my personal preference.
@@neckromancer9050 elton john
No, I think somebody else's are. Watch this to find out whose voise is better than Johnny's: m.czcams.com/video/9c1-EttBOpc/video.html
Trent wrote this song from the perspective of a young man battling to keep control of his life over his drug addiction. Johnny sung this song from the perspective of an old man who has battled his whole life with drug addiction, and the mountain of pain/guilt/regret it's caused. I like both perspectives of the same painful struggle, but God this version makes me cry.
Both performed this song with death knocking on the door.
agreed. It gets me every time. "What have I become.....i will let you down, i will make you hurt..." 😢
@@larrylinn8589 Agreed, everytime I listen to the song, I have to hear both. And for the NIN one, the live version Hurt (live) 1995.
Never did drugs or even a little drop of alcohol. From my14 years until nowadays i kept smoking regular cigarettes. My addiction never caused no harm except to me. But this song always reminds me about things that i`ve done and i`m not proud about them . Unecessary revenges, lies , swindles in which i played a role. Most of times, it was just to survive, specially in my job, but not only in it. One way or another it was always to survive, but i wasn`t as brave AS i could be.
@Bloodyrebel I just found this song and have listened to both versions. i think I relate more to Johnny's take - because at my age I'm closer to the end than the beginning. I still struggle to deal with the "pain/guilt/regret" stuff while trying to remember the good stuff I've done in my life. But Johnny Cash's take on this song is a gut punching make me bawl like a baby masterpiece. Anyone, whether or not they have substance issues, who listens to this piece and is not moved to some self reflection is not human.
One of the best covers ever! 😢
In this video, Johnny Cash is seen in the cab of a steam locomotive, specifically Southern #4501. That same locomotive still exists and runs in the Tennessee Valley today out of Chattanooga.
“Everybody was wearing rhinestones, all those sparkly clothes, and cowboy boots. I decided to wear a black shirt and pants and see if I could get by with it. I did and I've worn black clothes ever since. ”
― Johnny Cash
Very deep
;(
If one subscribes to the theory that people are only capable of focusing on so many things at a time and only capable of making so many decisions every day before judgement suffers, then taking things like choosing clothing out of the equation allows one to focus on more important matters.
Whether or not this is true for anyone, let alone everyone, I couldn't say. I will say though, that it can be easy to fixate on pedestrian things, so I see the merit in it.
@Ned Kelly He's not even really edgy though, a lot of his songs are light hearted, this one song is pretty dark but its not even his
The song about it is a heart wrencher as well
The fact he died shortly after covering this masterpiece is a blessed ending to a blessed life. You can see in his and his wife's eyes they know. Man went out with a bang. Truly the champion. R.i.p Cash
Yeah.
yeah this song is really great but fun fact he just take it from an another band, if you are curious to see where it from it's a band called nine inch nails and the tittle is just same.
This isn't a cover, my friend. Trent Reznor covered this one
@@ChrisCuttCHMy Trent's came out 8 years before Johnny's mate. This is a cover. A magnificent one, but still a cover.
@@ChrisCuttCHMy yeah Nin did it first still a great cover though
What a man. What a legend still listening to you Cash in 2024
Trent said himself that Hurt is Johnny's song which proves how talented he was. R.I.P Johnny Cash, you will be missed.
He just sang with his whole soul. Raw emotion and no lies
That why it is perfect.
Lying to yourself about what’s important. Then what actually matters is gone, and you’d trade everything

Bob Barker died.
@@bedroombully9614 here 3 years later but I’m at that cross road in my life brotha
One word and one word only can describe this song:
*Real*
Sad but true
Yea Trent reznor is pretty good eh
He’s hit and miss but he nailed this song
Beg to differ. PAIN is just as appropriate word.
Bruh, hurt is literally the name of the song.
😢I've suffered depression nearly my whole life,sometimes to the point of being unable to cry anymore tears.It's cathartic to let the tears come.Peace,love and healing to all 😂❤
I know the feeling ✌️❤️🙏 peace love and blessings to you and yours.
I love you Johnny cash, you remind me of my pop pops (grandpa) he passed away on February 25th peacefully in his room. You sir remind me of him, I love you
He died of a broken heart, just months after June Carter Cash passed. People can die from a truly broken heart.
BRUH
This is actually literally true. There's something that can happen when you feel intense emotional grief where if I remember correctly your "heartstrings" (real thing) tear which can cause death.
Absolutely!
@@algormackie1808 you think! Love the ending.
Always
The saddest part about this song is that he knew he was close to his own fate.
My thoughts exactly. He is retrospective, and shutting down.
@@brodie2005thegamer absolutely irrelevant but ok....
@@brodie2005thegamer Well, that is completely irrelevant.
@@brodie2005thegamer lol wat
The interesting thing is that he unlike so many knew and accepted death. I feel like this is his message, do not fear death because we all will die some day.
😢 Mr Cash this is one of the best songs ever 😢 May God bless you in heaven 😢
If ever there was a perfect marriage of singer and song
" Everyone I know goes away in the end" This song is so brutally honest and depressing but beautiful at the same time. Love it.
ikr I'm graduating from college this semester and the amount of people I've seen come and go in the past 4 years is crazy
@@tvbnine793 haha I am graduating too!
I'm going through this.... I have hate.
@@Sanctus_Manifesto I will pray extra for your freedom from that hatred.
you could have it all. My empire of dirt
When I hear Trent Reznor’s version, I hear pain and self-loathing. When I hear Johnny Cash’s version, I hear looking back at the end of life with regrets.
Well said Joe
Same
And that's why Johnny's version hits so much harder than Trent's
@@roninskater1385 even trent Reznor said hearing johnny and the cover were so emotional for him and I look at them as two different songs. The way each artist sang it and the meaning it had to each of them is a beauty in and of itself
The video also pushes that perspective on the listener.
This song means more to me every time I hear it. RIP Johnny
Years later this song slaps so hard everyone forgets it is a cover. Beyond this song Johnny Cash is a legend. We will never forget you.
He died 4 months after his wife they say he died of a broken heart
Yes. That happens pretty often with elderly couples.
Very true. Broken hearts will kill you. He's proof.
Eso le pasó a mis abuelos, falleció mi abuela y mi abuelo la acompaño un mes después
Could be
@@josef9001 There was already proof. It's not some superstitious bullshit, it's called Broken Heart Syndrome.
Cash's version touches a man to the core...
I may have only been on this earth for 15 years... it still does and forever will
@@mikehawk9773 ikr
Malik Hamidon Trent’s version is like someone who’s going insane and is about to kill himself. Cash’s is like that he’s ready to die from age.
Yes. Yes it does. In an insane way
@@mondobananas1832 I've been there in Trent's version. And Cash's version is true to what you say, he misses his buddies as apparent with a table laden out for a banquet for one
His performance of this song still gives me chills. Coming up on 21 years after his death and 22 years after release. We love you Johnny Cash. Rest Easy hope you and June are together enjoying eternity.
