Months after this I was able to go to sun studios here is the link : czcams.com/video/mYK-QLc9vrg/video.html
Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis walked thru those doors and changed the world.
That's where Rock and Roll started in that little studio and Elvis, Johnny, Jerry Lee, and Carl were the first Rock Stars. They were the one's who laid the blueprint for being a Rock Star there was no one before them but the mind behind it all was Sam Phillips.
@@robmaynard5524 And Little Richard!!!!
Coldplay - Daddy (Official Video) react please.
best... that's you... use your fucking greatest... to change shit please.... we need folks like you... you are present... most people are not
His wife died shortly after this video, and he passed about 3 months after that. This is a cover of Nine Inch Nails. He took their song and made it his own in a way rarely achieved by any cover. A man coming to the end of his life. Reflecting on all those he’s loved and lost. Successes and failures. It definitely puts you in your feelings, thinking deep thoughts. Thanks for your reaction!
I remember when June passed. My friend and I were talking.. Said Johnny will be close behind.. She was his life.
Couldn’t have put it better... so far besides Disturbed doing Sound Of Silence , this is only other time ive seen a cover version own the song better than the original author.
I heard Reznor cried when he first watched the video as well.
Cash did to Hurt what Hendrix did to All along the Watchtower, he made it his own.
@ Bill Newcomb look up the interview with 9 Inch Nails about this cover.....its really amazing
When he closes and caresses the piano....... gets me, everytime
Yup. That's the "goodbye" for me. Like he knew it was all done.
Because he knew it would be the last time. 😭
Jeff Beck It was like he was closing his own casket...
He (virtually) tickled the keys one last time when he closed the cover. That caught me, and hurt...
Like closing a coffin.... :'(
Johnny Cash - Man In Black ''Why you always wonder why i dress in black? I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down , livin in the hopeless hungry side of town. I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid his crime but is there because he's a victim of the times''...
Love it! Hope she sees that video of him onstage at that school telling the story!
Hey I really love that keep doing good girl
back in AOL dial up days in 2002 i sobbed as i replayed it 3x back to back😓
try "gravedigger" Willie Nelson
-i appreciate you BeCuz you are as real 💯as that song
Thanks. Is this word for word?
That's very poetic, not as poetic as ,Johnnny,and his band wore black when they were touring in the early days, because it didn't show dirt, and was easier to maintain.
Everyone hears it different...I was a iv drug user for about 11 year's..when Trent reznor sung it I never took it serious.....I have always been a cash fan. When he sang it, it literally helped me wake up and become sober.
Me too! "The old familiar sting... I would keep myself, I would find a way. "
Right on, man. One day at a time. Good luck to you.
Johnny Cash would have loved that his song did that for you.
I’m still gettin there. So that’s some inspiration right there.
@@wilable70 Congrats on taking the step. And i wish you well for your journey towards being sober man. Take care of yourself and the ones close to you
All the money and fame in the world can't buy back your youth or the people you lost along the way. This is why Cash's version resonates so hard... because he's nearing the end of his years and would trade all his success for another go-around with a humble life.
The most honest reaction i have seen of this song. you got it.....
Exactly.
Beautiful 💜💫💞
I know - most others are just trying to be a robot for some reason
@Rick York Like when watching any TV show or film? ;)
@@WilliamCWayne There are no spectators to "Hurt" by Johnny Cash. You live the pain when your dead nerves come to life. Otherwise, you might as well be numbed out to your own psychic death. Pain is a resurrection from the death of your soul, in a sense; and tears never are unwarranted as a result, being the natural reaction to being born to life once again. This is the pain of being human and alive; I, for one, would not trade it for the world. I never get tired of this cover video of Mr. Cash's. RIP, John R. Cash.
I'm 44, and I love Trent Reznor to death, but I sob everytime I see Johnny Cash's Hurt. I don't know anyone who doesn't wish they could start over.
me too, this version just has something about it that touches everyone
We can't go back bit we sure can do what we can do to change for the better at the end of the video it shows who can give us the strength to change Christ the only way to God.
Youth is wasted on the young.
The end of the song isn't hopeful about wanting to go back. The lyric
"If I could start again a million miles away, I would keep myself, I would find a way"
He's saying if he did it all over, he'd still be where he is. He'd find a way back to rock bottom. Once a fuck up, always a fuck up.
@@michaelkeller5927 I don't agree. I think he would keep himself mean what was true and important, not all the crap that got in the way of those things and caused pain to those around him. That he wouldn't become lost and pursuing his empire of dirt.
Again you shed a tear, don't worry sweetie we all do when we hear this. "Hurt" is a cover from a group called Nine Inch Nails. Trent Reznor wrote the song and after Johnny did the cover he said, "this song no longer belongs to me" Johnny was an icon in country music and lost it all 'his empire of dirt" . Johnny Cash had his demons, upon meeting his wife he straightened up, she was his rock. The video shows his wife who sadly passed away a few months after the video. His daughter said this sounded like his "goodbye" and he responded that it was and he passed away a few months after his wife.
That last sentence describing his daughter saying that, and his reply: Could you link a video where she said that?
I watched a documentary where she describes them showing her this video for the first time, but I didn't hear her make that claim in that interview.
100
honestly this version doesnt get to me. but when i listen to NIN version i actually feel really sad.
Michelle Villamagna congratulations on your sobriety, and good luck. As a daughter of an alcoholic (which is why I rarely drink), I know it’s not easy. You be strong.
@@sublime90 both version are very intense!!
The last song of regret from a man who is in 6 different halls of fame.
😂👌
@@almostontimehero5415 well video. He recorded songs after this that were released after he passed. The last song released while he was alive, to my knowledge, is September When it Comes with his daughter Rosanne
Strong statement you just made.
You can be so good, so loved by others, that you're in 6 Halls of Fame, and still have a lifetime of regret.
You're missing the point. Listen when he said "you can have it all, my empire of dirt" he saying it full of anger and disdain. People came to him just because he's a popular singer, and not as true friend. Cash only cared about his family, his close friends and his love for music. He even begged his producer to keep him busy with making music after his beloved wife died because he afraid he's going to deep end of despair if he didn't do anything.
The original version is also great, in the context of the album.
It’s what this song does. It’s a masterpiece of humanity.
Trent Reznor first wrote the song
@@RicardoWARElizondo And then Johnny Cash owned it.
Was it Trent Reznor. I know Cheryl Crow was in on it
grandfathergeek this is the single best summation of this song I have ever seen. . . . brief but beautifully expressed.
I love when reactors get lost in the music and don't pause it every 5 seconds. Subscribed!
Yes she is really good at not over talking and pausing
Yes! Thank you for getting thru the majority of the song without pausing to often
you start feeling this song on a deeper emotional level as you get older. masterpiece
Oh yes! Especially the reflecting on my own life..
Trent Reznor wrote this song, from the place of a young man who struggled with success and trying not to f'up everything that was happening in his life. It's amazing.
Johnny covered it from the POV of a man at the end of his life, looking back at what the rest of the world considered a huge success, and realizing that at the end of days, none of that really matters.
Two very very different songs, with the same words and melody. If I were 25 or 28, Trent's would speak strongly to me. At 58, Johnny's is the clearest message. They're both amazing.
I forgot to say, "thanks for sharing". Watching this video hit you the way it did, reminded me why I love it so much. Needed that today.
❤️❤️
Well said.
The video was made in 2002. His wife June died in May 2003 and Johnny died in September.
As the story goes, after his daughter watched the finished video with him, she said "it's like you are saying goodbye" and he said, "I am".
The stories behind this video are amazing, especially on why it was made at The House of Cash.
Don’t feel bad girl, I’m a 64 year old white man and I’m in tears 🙏
Cash was a very spiritual man, we sadly miss him. There will never be another Man in Black. RIP Mr.Cash.
He became one, he was also a sob at times in his life. He had a very rocky road.
Any fan of his will say the same. Depending on which time of his life he was in he was a good guy, or a cold hearted jerk. His life was ups and downs.
Trent Reznor is a brilliant song writer.
Cash took it up a notch.
that's a matter of opinion. Just remember that
Trent wrought it but Johnny sang it both are good i love the org. But then Johnny made a new spin to a new level
@@JSINmartini Ok, for a minute i thought what ever was said here was fact
Considering Trent even said this is the best version of the song I would say it's fact
@@michaelkeller5927 that’s not what he said. He said he learned to accept that a lot of people would think it’s the best.
I am crying again listening to this as I approach my sunset in life knowing what this song really means
Yeah, the older I get the more it hits home and calls to mind all the past and regrets, people gone and opportunities taken...it hits different.
So true!😔
not so many regrets, just one more day with my late mother id give a lot for that.
No matter how many times I hear this song, I’m always left with this feeling that haunts my soul. His delivery is perfection.
You have some folks at the end say, "I have no regrets in life." Then, there are those that say, "I have too many regrets in life." My closest friend died saying he had no regrets. As I have outlived most of my friends and family, I find that I have too many regrets. He died young. I will die old.
There is nothing you can do to make God love you more than he does right now.
My brother is 51. He told me once that, no matter what he'd done, he felt he would always be defined by his failures.
I've been trying to work out for ages why this song makes Me a grown man have tears in my eyes and a pain in my chest, and you shed a light on it, it's not just the song itself it's the way he sings it, you know he means every word.
@James Coughlan. It's ok man.
I've seen other musicians cover this song. They are very skilled and sing it beautifully, but they don't have his depth of experience and pain to draw from so from them it's a pretty song. From him, it is heart-rending
It reminds us that our frantic self-seeking keeps us from the joy of the gift of life.
Trent wrote this song from the perspective of a young man with his whole life ahead of him. Johnny sang it from the perspective of a man at the end of his life , looking back in regret for all of the mistakes he made in his life. From that perspective, and being 54 this year, to me makes this song very powerful . Every time I hear it , it makes me weep.
Sweetie. Please don't feel you were the first to cry. Believe me, I cried for a half an hour after hearing his version.
You are right his dark emotion was felt deep in my soul too. A man coming close to his end. With me, I felt my emotion
knowing my life was at risk with cancer. One never knows how to interpret another persons inner feelings. One thing we
all can do. We can love one another with all our hearts and forget all that trivial B.S. we all have thrust at us every day. Our time
on earth is not guaranteed. We can have as little as 1 minute or 120 years. But, what good is all that time you spend on earth
filled with hate for people. I know when my time is near. I want my love for people to show even more. And my family and friends
who knew me can say that Greg left on the wings of angels without one ounce of hate. Best wishes to all and spread as much love
as you can. Even the ones filled with hate. They are never happy. Peace
This was so beautiful and my mom battled lung cancer and I felt this way at that time too. But I’m so happy your alive and breathing today many blessings to you .
I am so happy to see a young woman open her mind - and ultimately her heart - to all genres of music and appreciate them. Music feeds the soul so that the spirit within you can grow - and we are all better human beings for it.
The video was recorded in February of 2003. His daughter, on seeing a preview of the video, said to him it sounded like he was saying goodbye, he replied that he was. June Carter Cash, his 2nd wife, the woman sat on the stairs in the video; also a singer in her own right who toured with him and sang with him on several songs. She had come down to check on her husband that day as his health was declining. June Carter Cash passed away a few months after the video recording in May of 2003 and a bereaved Johnny Cash followed her a few months later in the September.
The song is by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and is about his battle with addiction and depression. Cash also an addict and alcoholic for much of his early life spending time in Jail on half a dozen occasions for possession. The song encompasses the way both musicians life threads are woven together and entangled across the decades between them, so much so that Trent when he saw the video said it was like loosing his Girlfriend, as the song had become Johnny's. Johnny was a campaigner for prison reform and the rights of Native Americans and much of his material reflected his own passions and darker past.
It was June that Cash attributed to rescuing him from his drug and Alcohol addiction a theme of the song. Carter is the person played by Reese Witherspoon alongside Joaquin Phoenix, in the biopic of them: Walk the line.
Johnny Cash's star had declined in the 80s and the Museum to his life with the smashed Gold Disk on the Floor, used as one of the backdrops to the video, ended up being shuttered.
In the 1990s Rick Rubin and American Recordings more of a Rap, Punk and Metal label sought Cash to record for their label, and offered Cash complete artistic freedom. With them his career revived and he brought out his most critically acclaimed albums, the America series, bringing Cash to a new younger audience; starring on The Simpsons and Headlining at Glastonbury in 1994. The 4th and penultimate album of the America series from which this is one of several Hit Singles: American IV: The Man Comes Around, You may recognise the Title Track too, was released in November of 2002, and he was still working on his final Album right up to the end and that was released posthumously.
You’re not the only one, another reactor finished the song took off his glasses and starting crying, cut to black. This song cuts deep AF
which one?
Yeah. For many people, there simply are no words.
Johnny Cash was a deep thinker and a tortured soul. He had regrets. But he finished his life in a better place than where he was early in his career. It is never about how we begin. It is always about how we finish that counts. If you can, please react to We The Kingdom "Holy Water (Live Version)". I think you will enjoy it. God bless you.
If everyone was opened minded and caring the world would be a better place!
Your face says it all. He told his daughter he was saying goodby.
His wife died shortly after he recorded this song. Then he died shortly after her. He loved her very much.
When Reznor was asked if Cash could cover his song, Reznor said he
was "flattered" but worried that "the idea sounded a bit gimmicky." He
became a fan of Cash's version, however, once he saw the music video.
I pop the video in, and wow...
Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my
girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore... It really made me
think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some
words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak
and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that
winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different
era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning - different, but every
bit as pure.
The music video was directed by former Nine Inch Nails collaborator Mark Romanek
who sought to capture the essence of Cash, both in his youth and in his
older years. In a montage of shots of Cash's early years, twisted
imagery of fruit and flowers in various states of decay, seem to capture
both his legendary past and the stark and seemingly cruel reality of
the present. According to literature professor Leigh H. Edwards, the
music video portrays "Cash's own paradoxical themes".
Romanek had this to say about his decision to focus on the House of Cash museum in Nashville:
It had been closed for a long time;
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.
When the video was filmed in February 2003, Cash was 71 years old and
had serious health problems. His frailty is clearly evident in the
video. He died seven months later, on September 12; his wife, June Carter Cash, who is shown gazing at her husband in two sequences of the video, died on May 15 of the same year.
In July 2011, the music video was named one of "The 30 All-TIME Best Music Videos" by Time. It was ranked the greatest music video of all time by NME.
The house where Cash's music video for "Hurt" was shot, which was
Cash's home for nearly 30 years, was destroyed in a fire on April 10,
2007
Reznor said the song belongs to Johnny now.
@@brandtdowney6819 i think its sad that waylon didnt live to see this video,
"we're all stories in the end. make it a good one" He made it a good one. RIP Mr. Cash. WE miss you.
Pfff words of the eleventh Doctor
Johnny Cash. In your face real HEAVY music... RIP Johnny !!!
When he closed that piano it was the end of a legendary career. What a way to go out!
The old expression: "It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all" is particularly apropos here. I watched this video and I feel pain for him and for my own life experiences. Life is wonderfully painful, joyful, full of incredibly good experiences and heartbreaking ones as well. I love, I hate, I am loved and hated. I've had my heart broken, I've broken a few. Life if dirty, uncoordinated and without order...but the most amazing gift. Life is a tragedy...everyone dies. Live a good life and die a good death, with dignity.
He died of a broken heart only in his early 70s, he looks so old here, it was such a shock when I saw him the first time.
Always makes me cry.
He was saying goodbye.
Another legend.
The Man in Black....
He shut down him piano knowing that this song it was the last song of him life... Since that he died. Emotional.
This song was written by a junkie but it’s really about being a human being and the sorrow and fear of death we all carry through life.
A powerful song so full of emotion. I cried with you.
He knew he was dying when he made this song, and his wife died (pictured in the video) shortly before then.
Trent Reznor - "I realized it wasn't really my song anymore."
His reaction to hearing Johnny Cash cover of his song "Hurt"
I agree with so many people in their take on the song Trent Reznor wrote the song about how heroin "hurt" him, Johnny sung it as a way of saying that everyone goes away in the end, even Johnny himself. Trent is an awesome songwriter, and Johnny is such a masterful storyteller. So glad Johnny did this song.
Johnny Cash...one of the greatest losses this country has ever had to face. This man was, and always will be...a legend. I wish I could have met him.
The only artist to be inducted into the Rock & Roll, Country, Rockabilly, AND Gospel Halls of Fame.
Trent Reznor’s pain was fresh of drug addiction when he wrote it. His is a young man’s feeling. Cash dealt with his addiction years ago with the help from June. Johnny’s pain is old and settled in. That POV of looking down the years and seeing your wrongs, knowing you are nearing your end.
Even if you don't enjoy Johnny Cash's genre, many of his songs are so profound. There's something in it that everyone can relate to.
The most poignant, heartbreaking, emotional song I've ever heard. They say you only live once, but I don't think that is true: we only die once. So sad..RIP Mr. Cash.
It's a very intense song isn't it. Gets me everytime❣✌
There's something universally appealing about Johnny Cash.
Just when we think we have cornered the market on pain, we see no one escapes this life without pain. When you see this kind of pain through the eyes of someone you think you have nothing in common with it has to make you pause.
My favorites are his classic hits. I also like the video where he performs "San Quentin" in the San Quentin prison. Before the performance, he asks the guards for water and kinda makes a non verbal statement about the terrible water they were serving the prisoners there. That performance was depicted in the movie "Walk the Line." I'm 28 now, but I grew up listening to his music my whole life.
His classics are all great songs as you would expect from an artist of his level of talent. But this song, Hurt, is the pinnacle of his career. His crowning glory.
When he sings it it sounds like a confession.
There's a difference between a young man yelling at the world because its not what he wants it to be, and an old man telling the world that he knows it and its flaws, but wanting just one more go at it to maybe do it right this time.
That’s pretty much my reaction to the video every time I watch it, even after almost 20 years.
So sad when you consider that both Johnny, June, and that house are gone.
That's how we all react. Thank you for watching the video to the very end. You allowed the song, and story, to be fully completed.
I love the simple arrangement on this song. Just a guitar and a piano.
He did this cover tune around the time his wife passed away. He couldn't live without her, he passed away from a broken heart not long after
She was alive after he recorded it and shes in the video. So it literally had nothing to do with losing her.
I like your sincere reactions. I'm happy you chose a Johnny Cash song too. This song had the same effect on me the first time I heard it. It's as beautiful as it is sad, and as sad as it is beautiful. At the first time of hearing it, I was struggling with my emotions. I felt like I needed to cry, but I couldn't. It was like I bottled everything up for so long. Then I heard this song and I most definitely shed a tear.
This is how real music is made and how it affects you makes you reflect and think
I've been a Johnny Cash fan for years....I heard he recorded this song and it won awards........first time listening to it, can't stop crying
Johnny had drug addiction when he was young. He went to prison. After he got out of prison, he did a concert for the prisoners at Folsom prison...against the advice of his management. He died about three months after his wife, June passed away. It is said that he died of a broken heart. “Hurt” was his last recording. In some respects, wisdom really does come with age.
June carter cash was always on his side to help him, he truly was a broken man after her passing but they are together in heaven
Nine Inch Nails was my favorite band in high school, when I heard this song the first time I was young but already carried a heavy heart and it blew my mind, now in my forties I hear Johnny Cash's version and feel the weight of a life of many highs and many lows, so many moments of pride and so many moments of shame; it hits even harder.
His song always brings tears to my eyes.
I have watched this many times and have had many thoughts. But EVERY time he closes that piano with that gentle rub..it is so final..so knowing..he says goodbye to it..I can't help but cry.
Easy girl.... you're just a beautiful human being.
Thank you for your reaction. It is very sad when a countrystar like him, at the end of life looks back - and calls everything he got for "empire og dirt". So much was it worth...
@@covaluxx Yes. And i also know that there is some small changes in the lyrics - that make this cover to fit Cash and his life very good.
Johnny Cash aka The Man In Black is a piece of American history. Johnny Cash is a piece of Americana. His career from the 1950’s through till the day he died was influential to countless people.
I love your fragility and emotion. Never lose that. I'm 71 and have lived a long time of ups and downs and still emote to the songs Hurt and Disturbed's Sound of Silence.
The hardest thing about this song is hearing yourself in it.
Have you heard Pink Floyd's "Time"? That's another one that leaves me sobbing every time. Music can be an incredible tool for communicating deep emotions; songs can truly be devastating. I think it's because of the music, which connects with our brains on a subconscious level. Thank for you this reaction - it's wonderful to see honest reactions to this kind of strong, difficult song.
That and Comfortably Numb.
Pink Floyd was on another level with literally every song telling part of a story.
This was the last song he ever did. He passed away a few months later. When he closed the lid on the piano, he literally never played another instrument, according to his wife, the woman on the stair. He did this song a great honor, and expressed my own feelings in life.
One point: the writer of the song hated this version of his song, until he watched the video, then he had high praise for Johnny’s version of the song.
JESUS SAVES..RIP DEAR JOHNNY
At this point in Johnny's life, he was well aware that he was dying as his years of drug abuse was finally catching up with him . This is what makes this video so poignant.
For me, this version with the late Mr Cash shows humility and honesty in every word from his mouth along with every note he plays.
Everything about this is powerful and for me, if you don't have any emotions afterwards, then music is clearly not for you.
Reading through other comments along with the reactions spoken about during the video shows just how diverse this song is and how it reaches many people regardless of their own genre's of music.
It's just a timeless piece of work that everyone can relate to and that it what makes it what it is.
This is the Johnny Cash the Icon The man he is good at what he does he will never be forgotten and alot of people like me and you have had the same reaction forever Johnny Cash ❤️❤️
Shit gets real on a whole other level when you see things from another person
It is like my heart is breaking in a million pieces, every time I hear Johnny sing this song.......I honestly believe, he knew this was going to be his last performance, his final good-bye, & wanting to apologize, for anybody he may have hurt throughout his lifetime💔 💔💔 ***RIP JOHNNY CASH, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTON*** 💔💔💔
The last few seconds when he closes the piano and sweeps his hands on the keyboard lid. Reminds me of closing a coffin. It gets me every time 😢
When he sings... you can have it all.... my empire of dirt. And when he sings I would keep myself, I would find away. That gets me every time. Talking about regrets and what he sees as selling himself out.
Johnny Cash had a very rough life. Growing up in a very poor family with a father that treated him like crap. He also lost his older brother in a horrific accident when he was young and his dad blamed him for it and never really forgave him. He also delt with addiction to drugs and alcohol throughout his career. I'm sure that by the time he met his talented wife June Carter he was on a highway straight to hell but she picked him up, kicked his butt and the dusted him off and made him change. He actually WANTED to change when he met her.
He passed away soon after she did. She was his best friend and her loss broke his heart.
I've heard this song numerous times. By NiN and Cash. And I cried right along with you like I'm hearing it for the first time. Great reaction to a masterpiece song and a brilliant artist.
This is why Johnny Cash will always be my favorite Country singer
When Johnny passed the song Hurt was number One , the Video was number One ,what a way to go on Top .God Bless You and your Family .
If this song does not bring you to tears then I think your not human
Yep. Johnny cash is one of my all time favorites. He's not the most technically talented singer, but it doesn't matter. He has the ability to take you there. He brings you into the song, and makes you FEEL it. A true master. W miss you Johnny, the man in black.
Music is beautiful. It picks us up onto our feet, it tears us down to our knees. Cash knew how to reach people with his music.
If you didn't cry, I would think you a mad man. Insane. No humanity what-so-ever.
This song fits Johnny Cash‘s life perfectly!... all of the ups and downs, the Haas and the lows and the regrets and now he’s old and so is his wife and he knows the time is near for them to separate because of death!
Johnny Cash lived, conveys, and expresses the true feeling of the song Trent Reznor had inside himself.
May they both rest in peace.
Johnny Cash, “Personal Jesus”, is a great song...
So is “Man in Black”...
He was another artist who grew up dirt poor, and many struggles, it molded him into a man of great compassion for all...
and an incredible performer...
I love Johnny Cash’s performance of this song so much. His life story comes through so clearly. I love the Nine Inch Nails version too. It’s a masterpiece that crosses generations. I guess that’s what makes a masterpiece. There’s no generational shelf life on it.
KC and the Sunshine band makes you smile and want to dance (and thank them for that). This song by the legendary Johnny Cash makes you want to connect with your family before it is too late.
Beautiful lady,
beautiful honest reaction, beautiful song, Johnny Cash was a hell of a man, everyone feels his pain with this song.
My uncle loved Johnny Cash and always wore black as well... he passed in 2003... and it was his funeral song and I wasn’t able to attend his funeral... but I always break down when I hear this song... it was fitting for my uncle and that’s what breaks my heart more
the cool thing about johnny is, he sounded the same in his songs 50 years ago as he did in hurt, he knew was on his way , so he covered 9 inch nails hurt
Oh honey don't be ashamed for those tears. I love both Nine Inch Nails and Johnny Cash and when I heard Cash singing this song for the first time I cried like a baby!! This song is an absolute classic written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails back in 1994, it became the promotional song for his 1994 album The Downward Spiral and was awarded the Best Rock Song of 1996. In 2002, Johnny Cash covered "Hurt" to commercial and critical acclaim; it was one of Cash's final hits released before his death, and the related music video is considered one of the greatest of all time by publications such as NME. Reznor praised Cash's interpretation of the song for its "sincerity and meaning", going so far as to say "that song isn't mine anymore."
What greater tribute is that, to give a highly acclaimed piece that he'd written to one of the legends!? Heck to even have that legend approach him and want to perform his piece was an honor in and of itself! Not to mention the depth of meaning and genuinity that Cash brought to it... smh simply amazing.
As always listen, appreciate, and enjoy!! God Bless!!!
Legend of country music.
watching reaction videos makes me feel so much more connected to everyone...we all have the same feelings down deep in our hearts. No matter our skin tone, our hearts all are the same color
Yes, it is a powerful song by a powerful performer. Johnny Cash is a legend for a reason.
Your reaction to this shows you are a beautiful Soul Young Lady, heed Johnny's last sentence of this song about keeping himself...when this world tests you as you age do NOT ever let it take that beautiful soul away from you.... You do not know me but I promise you this is the best advice you will ever get in your life.
His wife June Carter was a daughter of Maybell Addington Carter. Maybell and my great grandma Easterling from Nickelville Va. were first cousins. My gg grandma was an Addington. Lots of music from that part of the country. She then became a vicars and was married at 14 and a mom at 16....first one past...
