Funny thing is, if you are really going through depression, addiction, anxiety, anger, PTSD, etc, this song actually seems to help a person find strength.
@@lilmiah5918 LOL I have issues with all of the above. Some days are better than others, but it helps to hear good music from someone else who is having a hard time.
I don't recall him saying exactly this anywhere in LOTR. Care to quote the exact part where you got it? P.S. Sounds more like Junko Enoshima's quote, rather than Gandalf's :D
@@Real_gandalf I know, I feel so bad for him. Can’t believe people believe her, I saw someone say “I believe amber because Johnny didn’t come out about it” probably because people wouldn’t believe him, like that person is
@@Spreadlove5683 I have a daughter with my "first love". My daughter's mother was a drug addict before, during, and after pregnancy. I had sole custody of my daughter for 4 years before her mother finally started to get her shit together. She's not fully better, she will never be the girl I fell in love with so long ago again. And when I hear this song that line in the verse makes me think of her the way she is now, so different from that girl I fell in love with 18 years ago, and I'm still right here, not much has changed except my outlook and drive on and in life. It makes me sad to think about, but things change, can never go back, and honestly never would. I found the woman I needed, and we have 3 sons now, my daughter will actually be 14 in 2 days, and her mother has 2 sons with a 3rd on the way now. So life has changed, but I will always have this line, in this song. Such a great recording, one take. God bless Johnny and Trent, and God bless you all as well!
The thing I like most about Johnny Cash's cover of this song is that it almost sounds like he's simply talking. Like he's walking through memory lane and seeing all the the things he's done that hurt either himself, others, or both.
The greatest singers never sings only, they tell a story. I cannot stand Celine dion or Aretha Franklin, they don't sing they shout, like they want to show that they work out with their vocal chords to show how high they can go.
This song works even better for Cash because he covered it when he was already old so he looked back to all the good and bad things he went through. And since he died only a year later we can see it as a farewell.
He asked Trent Reznor to cover it and he obliged under the condition of hearing it before he charged him for the rights. Upon hearing it, he gave him exclusive rights for free and told him June wouldve loved it
After putting my dog too sleep yesterday, value everything you have with them, good or bad. I know i do. RIP leo the newfie. You were an arsehole but you were my arsehole
Such raw emotion. Johnny died 7 months after he did this song. It feels like he knew. Trent Reznor wrote a great song for himself and Johnny. RIP Johnny Cash. And thank you for speaking to my soul.
To everyone who feels sadness today, or depression, or anxiety, or indifference, remember this... you are not alone. Everything changes, it always does. So, stand firm, and embrace the change, and move on! And know this, that no matter how much pain you have or been through, it eventually ends, and loving arms are waiting for you on the other side. Love and peace to you ALL.
Even after 18 years, this song still makes my eyes tear up. I was a huge fan, and when June passed away, I was heartbroken for him. When he passed, I spent the night listening to this song over and over, crying because I knew a legend was gone.
I served Johnny and June once, they were quiet and polite. It was within only a few years of the end. Johnny had a way of looking right through you, quiet, still. The two of them ate in quiet peace in an empty restaurant, I gave them their space. It was a beautiful summer day. I have lived so much since then, and I feel like I really knew him. This is what a great person does, no need for words. Your presence sticks with those who remember. The waves we make echo through eternity.
Cash is the ultimate proof that you don't need pop stars or mad guitar skills to be amazing. You need soul and heart. Pour your heart into a song and all you need is basic instrumentals to accompany it. You might make little girls scream beiber, but you'll never be the artist this man was.
We burried a friend with this song, never gonna forget this feeling, that was so hard, it was 2 year ago, he was 28... Love you Max, miss you so much, I hope you're in a better place!
His name was Max? You know he's in Valhalla, then! That's a Fury Road reference... (In all seriousness though, I know what you're going through, my cat died last week, and I've never been the same...)
Anyone struggling just know no matter how bad or how far you have fallen just come to Jesus.. he is the light of life and all pain he has already paid for. God bless too you all.. much love to everyone who reads this, you are not alone!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If the movie is anything like this song, Logan will go down in history as being the first comic book movie to make audiences cry their fucking eyes out.
I'm of the opinion that charles in the trailer isn't actually there. He's just a figment of Logans mind which maybe possible if the other movies are cannon
Jon0001 first class, days of future past, apocalypse and deadpool are Cannon. The first trilogy and the two previous wolverine movies are no longer Cannon
I listen to this song when I’m in my loneliest state of mind. “What have I become, my sweetest friend.” really resonates with me. It’s always just been me, out of place. It’s like no matter what, I can’t seem to connect or get close to people, even the people I’m closest to. This song soothes me for some reason.
Sometimes life is like a dark tunnel, you can’t always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving, you will come to a better place.
This song is my moms whole life... By the time i tried to help her it was too late. She over dosed and died last week. She loved johny cash so much and this was her favorite song... When i was 3 we used to dance to a bunch of his songs. Especially Ring of fire. Im 16 now though. I realy dont like johnny cash that much, i just listen to him for her. Idk what im going to do now. She was my only light. This comment helped me a little though
This is a song that allows you to bury your regrets, admit your failings and your wrongs, remember those who have gone, accept who you are, and start again
@SpadaccinoLuciano, "Touched my heart" ? WTH? Dude I'm here cause it sounds like its got a good the rhythm and the words are not the crap rap libertards listen to these days. Dont know anything about touching hearts
Gotallofthem1 this song will eventually reach everyone, it's what we'll all become as we grow old and lose our life and look back on our past mistakes thinking if we just had one more try we could do everything right
I’m a recovering alcoholic/addict, I almost lost my best friend and lover because of my pain. We are now on a 1 year break while I work on my recovery. She has stuck by my side and always believed I could change. This song hits close to home because I always wanted to do better, now that I’m free I’ve never been so grateful to have a love like her.
What does RECOVERY even mean. Honestly, what do you recover. I never did understand that whole recovery thing? I don’t know bro, I think this pos, feckin corrupt world, we were all born into, took us all down that feckin road in the first place. So we could live in this shitstain we all do whatever just to kill the pain. So when I hear “recovery” it baffles me. Because the simple truth is that drugs, booze, money whatever, seems to take us back to the beginning where it all started in the first place.
I miss her.. i wish she was here today to see the man I became and the positive changes in life I'm taking. She might have cheated, ghosted me and left me broken.. but she was also the only one that stuck by my side, helped me get through the tough days and showed me love.. 😮💨😓
This song is exactly what i go through. Depression, Anger, Anxiety, OCD, and things i don't mean to say to my family members when angry. Johnny Cash is the singer that sums up what i go through right now.
2018 has been an awful year. I lost so many friends, family, my dad passed in February, even my dog died. I'm working a dead end job, and walked out after the girl I had been seeing told me she didn't have feelings anymore. Spent some time in jail after I took charges for a friend who betrayed me. My mom chose her man over me. I had to start taking substances just to keep my sanity. I've never been so alone in my life..
Cinder Cinnamon I’m so sorry for what has happened to you and I offer my condolences for those you’ve lost. Keep fighting. Don’t let it beat you. You’re going to be alright. You’re a f*cking soldier.
Life is cruel and shows no mercy we lose the people we love and those we trust can betray us, i really hope your mum and yourself find some way to make things better there are thousands of people who feel like you do . We have gone down a deep dark pathway that is called modern life and it sucks the human spirit dry until there is nothing left , i can only say try to find a woman who see's through all the superficial dross and likes you as yourself and stick with real friends and if others don't want to know its their loss.
I would say I'm so glad he "covered" this, before he passed. But he made this his own song, with all the pain, laughs, good times and bad that he went through in his life, seemed like a flashback over his life. Legend forever
man Johnny Cash had it rough...he lost his brother when they were kids, he had to overcome am addiction, and he lost the love of his life June in his last year...god he was just amazing I could just feel his pain in this song
This song hurts, it hurts because it's a sad song and it's delivered with such pain, but it also hurts because of the history of Johnny cash. May he rest in peace. What a legend. As long as he's music lived on, I doubt he will ever truly die.
My 17 month old daughter who I love like you wouldn’t believe has been seriously unwell in hospital. I think I may have listen maybe ten times almost back to back. It’s brought feelings to the surface I had forgotten. The joy and love I had for her when she was born. The first Moment I laid eyes on her. The first time I held her. The first time I changed a nappy. I’m not the softest/ soppiest of men by a long way but this song gets me every time. I’m still right here, and for my baby girl I will always be right here,
Just gotta say man. I've noticed alot of people here with depression. Just know you have a dope quality in you. You're worth the time bud. Keep your chin up it'll get better.
I've gone through over 60,000$ in treatments and the only to get rid of my depression I was put in jail for.... for trying to cure myself.... ketamine is the answer
It never gets better mate, everything falls apart no matter what, no matter what you do, what you try, or how much you strive...things end up like shit. What's the point of keeping up your chin when life will spit on your face as soon as you do it?
I think this is the best cover ever done. Not of this song, of all songs. Neither the original or this one are better than the other, but they carry vastly different meanings based on where Trent and Johnny were at the time they recorded it. And each one is deep and beautiful. I also love that Trent was super skeptical about it, but couldn't bring himself to say no to a legend like Johnny Cash, and this was the result.
"Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good." Tony Stark's playing this song in his head when he's telling Pepper, "I'm probably gonna die out here. I've done a lot of shit I regret, but every second I spent with you was worth its weight in gold." Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Sprinkling maybe stupidly expensive grape juice over stupidly expensive seafood...my empire of Dirt... Life itself...the chance to breath on this planet is our ultimate success..everything else is fringe benefits... Prioritising our lives..the greatest task we will ever endour
I know this song is about drug addiction and Trent did such a wonderful job explaining the isolation. When my son passed away from a drug overdose for some reason this song had a different meaning to me. I just feel the sadness and emptiness of no longer having Jimmy.
My life is in ruins..I am sitting here with tears welling in my eyes as today my wife told me she wants a divorce.....I am mentally and emotionally broken because of my actions and what I have done..I know nobody will see this, it's just nice to let it out..... Edit: Holy crap, I didn’t think this comment would blow up so much O.o thank you everybody for your kind words and support :) I just wanted to come on here real quick for an update and say that my wife and I have recently gone through marriage counseling and are continuing to grow our marriage. Neither of us want truly want to leave each other and we are continuing to push forward for a better life.
@Professor Nightmare Get help my friend. It's okay. Everyone goes through hell sometimes. I guess that's life. You can break through this being stronger. Fight it. It worths it
I went through that..............Carl Jung said " sometimes the best we can hope for in life , is to trade neurotic suffering for legitimate suffering " hang in there
I'm 28 got hooked up with 17 year old girl through a co worker long story short it was great at first then she got pregnant and now she will barely even call me ...I don't even know if it's really mine ..it really doesn't matter to me even though she tells me I'm the only guy she's been with ..go figure
Am i the only one that feels so fucking defeated and drained ...having endured so much loss and yet one death still haunts and hurts and while listening to this song , and you sing it ...you are telling the person you miss how you've changed because of their absence ,snd the downward spiral is because of the hurt ?
Dad died a month ago tomorrow. 15 y.o Dog has to be put down due to cancer within the week. Boyfriend broke up with me today. "Everyone I know goes away in the end.."
I know how you feel, my dad passed away 5/23/19 due to liver cancer. My uncle shot himself a year before my dad passed and that was when I broke up with the girl I dated for almost 5 years. My dog also died years ago unfortunately.
I know how u feel, my godmother died recently, my relationship between my and my parents is horrible, my boyfriend broked up with me one day before my birthday, i missed all my friends and i m really lost now
My Mother died of Aortic rupture when I was 11 and my dad abandoned me for another woman.Been living alone until now,I just turned 18.I hope I will always have the strenght to keep on living cause really losing my will to live.
I'm praying for you man just know God loves you and in due time he will make everything right. Just give your life to him and put all your faith in him and I promise u will have the strength to overcome any obstacle that comes your way. God bless you
The lead singer of Nine Inch Nails said that they couldn't preform it anymore because Johnny Cash made it better with his version. Edit: Didn't know I would ever get this many likes on a comment. Thanks!
He collaborates with others on occasion. But for live shows he gets different band members together. At least until 1999 Nine Inch Nails has always been only Trent Reznor, I did my junior year term paper on him. Read his biography and everything. Got an A-, marked down for vulgarity but the was impressed with the writing.
I listened to this song a lot and I hear nothing but regret. I know Cash recorded this before he died, but this sounds like a man's regretful heart caving in. That last line gets me every time... If I could start again, a million miles away... I would keep myself, I would a way. Thats regret right there. Like he made bug mistakes that cost him everything of value.
I remember hearing this song when i was a kid. I really like Johnny Cash. He's had some really great hits. Though most of his songs were sad and/or emotional. Though he's had some happy songs that weren't emotional. That just proves how versatile he was a singer.
Who cares if this is a cover? Music is more about the lyrics and instruments, it's the passion. I have listened to the original, and to this version. I choose this version. You can hear the passion in Johnny's voice, the pain, the hurt. Something that seems to be lost in music today. Any music that someone can cry too is great music, regardless of whether it's a cover or not. Just enjoy the fucking song.
***** Did you know Trent Renzor loves Cash's version just as much as he loves his own. "Having Johnny Cash, one of the most amazing songwriters/singers of all time, want to cover one of your songs, is amazing to me. Not so much as what other people think, but the fact that this man felt that my lyrics were worth interpreting. I can't remember the last time I cried unexpectedly because of a music video I pop in the video, and wow... Tears welling, science, goosebumps... WOW. [I felt like] I just lost a girlfriend, because the song just isn't mine anymore... I realized how powerful music is a medium and art form. I wrote those words down on a piece of paper in my bedroom as a way to keep sane. Somehow, it gets reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era, still retaining sincerity and meaning- Different, yet every bit as pure as the original." -Trent Renzor (Commenting on Johnny Cash's "Hurt")
In actuality, Trent Reznor is the one who approached Johnny to do a cover of this song. Both versions have there own unique twist to the melody and tempo. Myself, I can relate more to Johnny's version
Hate to break it to you dude but this song ain't about the heartbroken. It's about the ones who hurt their loved ones through their bad decisions and self destructiveness.
I lost a friend that I had for over 40 years through no fault of my own. This song hits me in the deepest part of my soul. Oh, how I wish you were still in my life. I could really use a friend. 😞
We are all fighting a tough battle in our hearts. Be kind to all those you meet, for a word and a touch are sometimes all it takes to give others the strength to carry on. None of us asked to be here, and some of us feel it is a curse to be alive. One of the few things all humans share is suffering. We have all caused pain in our lives, and we have all had pain dealt to us. We fall into that deep and dark pit.Trying to claw out like animals. We have all been there. Some of us carry our pain openly in our faces, and others hide it beneath a smile. Always remember the power of kindness, and guard your brothers and sisters. Care for what is precious to you, don't ever turn your back. Fight not just for yourself, but for everything you love. And always remember, your battle is not alone. There are those who care, even when it seems like you are completely alone. I may not know your battle, I may not know you, I may never meet you, and I may never lay my hands on your shoulder, but I care. I care about you, and you're going to win.
Everything about this him singing it the video is breathtakingly beautiful and it’s heartbreaking because it was kinda like he knew that this was his goodbye song he was, and always will be🤴🏻❤
My father had a heart attack on Dec 11, 2014 and several weeks later on Jan 8 he passed away and we buried him today on Jan 15, 2015. This was one of the songs I played at his funeral. Listening to this song it made me regret so much that we weren't closer and that we could never express our feelings and emotions to each other properly and now that he's gone I will never have that opportunity ever again. And one more regret that I will never forgive myself is that the night that he went to the hospital because of difficulty of breathing and later doctors found out that it was a heart attack, I was there with him as he was conscious and speaking and getting treatment. It was 4am and I was tired and I never thought his condition was so serious. Instead of staying with him and talking to him for longer, I stayed only for a little while and left to go home. That was the last time that he was able to speak as he had a heart operation that morning to save him and after being placed in a medically induced coma for over a week, when he finally woke up he had tubes in his mouth and all he was able to do was nod or write a few words when he was strong enough. Now I just can't get over how I wasted the last chance I ever had to talk to my dad before he died. There's so many things that I wish I could go back and change and now its too late. The only thing I can do now is to live with my mistakes and to do my best to not repeat the past from now on.
My deepest sympathies, i'm sure your father was a great man. Don't live on regrets continue on with your life my friend and then when your time comes you'll have another chance to speak to him. -Chase
Hang in there, we have all gone through this and it hurts, but with time you will go on and carry on your dad's legacy, always remember that you can always talk to him cause he is still next to you and hears you. Do not be so hard on yourself because he knows that you were there when he needed you. You are very lucky to have been there, there are thousands of people who never get the chance to help or be there for their parents in times of great need. God bless.
Nicolas Cage Thanks for your words. That is what I'm sad about though, that the only way I *may* be able to talk to him again is when I'm dead and I don't really want to ever die because I'm afraid of death. :((
***** Thanks for your kind words. Yes I'm happy that I was able to spend time with him before he past away, but like I said in my orginal post, I'm just kicking myself for not staying longer that day that he first went to the hospital and was still able to speak. I guess I was fooled because he was talking and very alert and didn't seem to be in such a serious condition that he actually was and missed my last opportunity to ever speak with him again while he was alive in this world. :( That's one regret that I will have a difficult time getting over if ever.
“Everyone I Know goes away in the end” Everyone I seem to meet will never stay in my life, we all will lose touch with each other eventually. I have to stop getting attached to people, but I can never can.....
It's completely normal to be attached to people, just try to not be so attached to the point that if they are gone you will suffer a lot. Or, you know what? Love fully, with courage, live intensely. You will eventually suffer too, just have to be conscious and wise about who you are willing to suffer for
These are kind words about forgiveness from Jesus. Truly, I believe the sentiments are to be appreciated. Although I know you can find peace without Jesus, god or religion. I personally believe your own conscience will guide you. It may not have been a sound or feeling you easily recognised or are used to prioritising in your past but it's there if you care to listen and have respect in it's point if view.
