Couple Reacts to Johnny Cash - Hurt 

Glad I'm not the only one :)

I came here to say the same thing. Hon, don't ever be sorry for your honest emotions. Music can move us I so many ways it is universal. I have heard Johnny do this song many times, and it still moves me to tears.

Thank you, really appreciate it :)

Little after June passed Johnny died hopefully he’s not In pain there all together now , Johnnys lil brother, Jim , June 😢

Can't believe he stopped it before the closing of the piano and the caress of the wood. That's a huge moment in that video missed.

Let it end.....

I had heard that both June and Johnny were diagnosed with cancer and had a short amount of time left. Johnny was determined to outlive June so she didn’t have to take the pain of losing him first. Rest in peace, Johnny and June.

Same here, every time I hear this song

I was already crying, it would be too much for me :D

It was sad for me anyway...

The was a remake of a nine inch nails song

Reznor wrote this song about addiction and depression. Johnny covered the song to portray basically everything written above by Clasmaster

This song can mean many things. That's why music resonates with so many people. One verse can be taken a hundred ways.. making it personal for each listener. I take as a song of having lived your life the best you could. You failed many people... even with the best intentions. You have nothing to give them in the end but you.. I want to say more but I'm pretty tired right now... that's all my brain could process tonight

Is the needle at the beginning about drug abuse or about chemotherapy? Pretty sure that was more what Johnny Cash was facing at the time. Just because the words are the same...

@@StevenHughes-hr5hp Johnny used to be an intervenous drug user. So it would fit like the original meaning from Trent Reznor about heroin addiction. I don’t think he had chemotherapy that I know of. He says the old familiar Sting, try to kill it all away, but I remember everything. Just trying to deaden his memories and feelings with drugs.

I can feel you :)

Aww, that's lovely :)

Ohh... that's sad :(

I being an older person, heard it first from nine inch nails. Will have to look up tools version.

I remember first hearing this song when WWE used it in a tribute video to a wrestler ( Eddie Guerrero ) who had recently passed that I grew up watching ( and similar to Johnny and the original writer of the song from Nine Inch Nails, had struggles with substance abuse ). So first I cried for Eddie, discovered this beautiful song through that and then cried again for Johnny. A life full of regrets ( which I believe most normal people have regrets ) is tough to bare when you've lived as long as Johnny Cash.. eventually, you succumb to the weariness.

Bruh, tool didn't write the original. Trent Reznor from nine inch nails wrote it

When I write this, my brain was saying Nine Inch Nails. Fingers on the keyboard said You're not the boss of me, and BAM I hit enter. What a dufus. Thanks for catching that. 😂

Agree

Thank you :)

It fits his voice very well and the way he sings it

Ooo, such a beautiful gesture. I didn't heart the NIN version, but it definitely feels like it belongs to Johnny.. forever...

Thank you, glad you like it :)

That's true :)

Thank you :)

Yes, it does...

Thank you :)

That's true :)

Thank you, glad you like it :)

Thank you :)

Yup and Sylvester and Samuel L Jackson are still doing action movies.

He had a hard life, it left its marks. He was also very ill

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

Yeah... I think he lived his live to the maximum

If he had no regrets he couldn’t have sung “Hurt” with so much emotion. Do you really think addicts don’t regret what their addiction has led them to do? How it has led them to behave? When nothing and nobody comes close to the importance of getting that next fix?

Thank you :)

I'm so sorry, so many of us in our addiction can only see as far as our own pain that the drug helps us to forget. All of this helps us erase what we don't know how to do in our clear mind. Awful memories when we do finally become sober are not only still there, but now we must face the incredible pain of the children we left behind, not caring what they don't know, unable to explain the reasons for all that you could not cope with! I'm praying for you my broken friend, even through all that you were running and hiding from; you now know that what's been done was never your fault. Only now, can you finally know that how you chose to bury those long ago painful memories was the only chose you felt you had. I'm not sure exactly why or what type of pain your children and their own lives had to deal with, whether it was them seeing you choosing your addiction over them, or if it was something else. We of course don't know the entire story, the feelings of abandonment, physical, emotional trauma that your children may have had to endure on their own, all that a young mind can understand is that when they needed you their father, you were lost emotionally and unable to step up to the plate to be there. I feel that there is so much more that you can't share in this comment, but whatever it is or was destroyed what could or should have been; that you were unable to cope without the use of whatever method of relief you could to just cope and survive the ultimate pain that was inflicted upon you. I wonder now that if your children did decide to forgive you, could you even today share with them the real truth of what and why all of this occured in the first place. I hope that your children forgive before it's to late. Give everything over to God Almighty Himself, the one and only ultimate healer of time and forgiveness. There's no time left to ponder, give yourself a break...Only God is left, He will always be there when all is said and done 🙏🙏🙏.

Agree :)

Thank you, glad you like it :)

Thank you, lovely and sad story, in the same time

And do not apologize when music makes you cry... we all do, and especially this song. Those feelings are even more powerful when you know the timing of this video compared to his wife's passing and his own passing. Never be ashamed at tears... Not just this song. Whiskey Lullaby will do the same with the full video. (Brad Paisley)
