To me this is the most important musical recording in American history. A once in a lifetime song written by a once in a lifetime songwriter and then covered by a once in a lifetime artist at the end of his life.

The most relatable and saddest song I've ever heard. I cry every time I hear it.

Johnny lived a life. He did great things and he made bad mistakes. What you hear in his voice during this song can't be faked. It's the sound of experience that only comes with time. Experience is, as Oscar Wilde said, one thing you can't get for nothing.

How can anyone NOT cry to this? Don’t feel embarrassed, it just shows you have a heart - many do not.

Can’t believe he’s been gone almost 20 years now, but his music will never die

Never apologize for letting the music hit you like that. I'm almost 60, and Johnny hits my heart just the same with this one. I've tried to teach my kids "we honor our tears" - tears just mean you're letting yourself feel the world for real. Thanks for sharing with all of us out here on the internet.

The fact a song about drug abuse and depression could be completely changed into a song about reflection and regret without changing a word... ...is amazing on its own.

"Hurt" was originally a Nine Inch Nails song, written by Trent Reznor for the band's second studio album, The Downward Spiral (1994). When Johnny Cash first asked Reznor for permission to cover the song, Reznor was flattered and ultimately gave his approval, but he had concerns that the idea "sounded a bit gimmicky." those concerns were put to rest, however, when Reznor saw the music video for Cash's cover of the song, at which point Reznor became a big fan of Cash's cover. In Reznor's words: "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."

If this song doesn’t hit you somewhere in the soul, your dead inside and I feel sorry for you. An absolutely beautiful song

This Is The Way A Legendary Music Icon Says Goodbye..R.I.P. Johnny 🙏 ❤

Your reaction gives me hope for the future of this world. Maybe if we all reach in and touch our feelings we might save ourselves.

I am 51 years old today. I grew up listening to Johnny Cash my parents did too. Does it matter how many times I see this video, even though I am a strong-willed independent, intelligent strong and fearless man, I still break down in tears. Life is fleeting and time passes so quickly. It's amazing the last thing he recorded told his life story and what everything in the end meant to him.

Don't be sorry for crying. I have listened to this song at least 1000 times and I still break down and cry. The deepness is all out in the open. And as you learn more about the song and the filming and everything with this video it just gets deeper and even more tear pulling. Johnny was a master and this in his masterpiece above all of his other masterpieces.

I feel this hit close to home for you? I can only imagine how hard it is to follow your dreams that take you SO far from your family and friends. Stay strong Irena! Always know that your family is proud of you and so happy to see you living your life and following your dreams. I hope you're able to see them soon! No need to apologize for being a sensitive soul. It's part of who you are and one of the things your RU-vid followers like about you. I feel that you need a hug!🤗 This is the best I can do.

never apologize for crying, especially over such an emotional song like this. johnny cash made this song his, and the video really covered so much of his life, his experiences, and his belief. im a huge fan of johnny cash, and have loved his music for years. this song, no matter how many times i hear it, or watch this video, i cry.

Never be sry for your beautiful emotions...We all go thru this. We'll always remember our loved ones. Let it out...cry. You have a beautiful soul. Johnny Cash a legend.

Your reaction is about on par with mine, I can't watch it without tearing up, 12 years of addiction, regret, broken relationships and self hatred. I'm a year sober now and doing better, but it still hits like a truck. Really makes you appreciate what you have though.

One of the best songs ever written and sung absolutely beautiful..... wow....just wow

I cry my ass off every..single..time I hear this. Johnny was a hell of a man, reminds me of loss, regret, and life experience. He was a drug addict back in the day and so I was I so I get the regret, but he prevailed and went on to be one of the best human that ever lived. Thank you for this

No need for any apology. Your emotions show that you are a beautiful caring person. Be proud :)

The tears this song brings to everyone are such a reminder of how powerful and connective music is for each of us together.

He became a true country star recognized wherever he performed. He made millions and won countless awards. Near the end of his life, it was all dirt and the only thing that mattered was the relationships of his life. But one by one, everyone he loved died and as an old man, there was just his wife and himself. He was tired of living and took this lyrics about someone suffering through drug addiction and made it look as if he wrote it about his life and regrets. At the end of the video, he closed the piano and lovingly caressed a symbol of his music. He never touched piano or guitar. Three months after the song was released, his wife passed and he was truly alone. Seven months later, he joined her in heaven.

the fact your crying means your human, never forget that surge of emotion rising up inside you, thats what humanity feels like

Crying is a natural reaction to something so beautiful and full of pain.

Wow. I have listened to Mr Cash sing this (and other songs with deep meaning) many times in my seven decades but it is always so great to see and hear how it effects someone else. I really enjoy watching reactions from creators who are real, like this young lady. I appreciate the raw emotion and feelings that were expressed here. Thank you for this. I wish good health, happiness and all the very best to you and your families!

You are the most beautiful young lady I've ever seen, and the fact that you are so moved by the pain in this song only makes you more beautiful as a human being. Thank you.

A man between heaven and hell anguish by his past,hoping for forgiveness.The Pain of addiction and now sobriety reflecting back on what once with tremendous regret..

Johnny Cash was incredible ... I love his songs...

The part about trying to kill your memories but you still remember everything. Years in the military I can relate so much to this. I just want to forget, but I learned to live with the memories.

Thank you for this. I can't cry anymore. It's cathartic watching you feel emotion.

it always gets me when he touches the piano at the end. I've seen so many people near the end of their life do that. That tactile sensation means so much to our understanding of being part of the world

You had the most authentic reaction and you know that this song was about

Life is hard. We all have weaknesses, we all have insecurities, we all make mistakes. Johnny gave us this song as a reflection on his own life, where he confronted the fact that his past was far from perfect, but he also showed in the imagery of Christ that he believed there is life after death. He believed in mercy, in repentance, and in forgiveness, although it's hard to feel those sometimes when we're in the midst of trials and sin. I'm so glad Johnny covered this song as one of the last songs he ever sung, and to you for reacting to it honestly and openly. Never take for granted those around you.

Do not be sorry. Your reaction was as beautiful as you are.

Though this song is very sad and it can be hard to comprehend the weight of it, Johnny Cash left us in the best way possible. He had a very successful career and left us with this extremely powerful swan song that will guarantee that his legacy is never forgotten. I don’t know many artists that had the opportunity to say goodbye in such an honest and heartfelt way. David Bowie with Lazarus is another good example.

They were connected that they died months apart. Shows you the strength of love.

Hello Irina. I have seen this video and heard this song a few times. Today was the first time I almost cried because you started crying. I don’t like to see you cry but I know you have a sensitive soul. Don’t change.

I understand your reaction. I felt the same way. We all lost something with the loss of Johnny Cash, and his last song.

I love this song and I have never come close to feeling emotional while listening to it. I gotta be honest Irina, I got a little teary-eyed seeing you cry during this reaction.

Irina, you never have to apologize for showing such deep feelings. The woman in many of the photos in this video are of his wife June Carter Cash. He lost her not long before he himself passed away. This was likely one of his last songs and I know that the loss of his wife June (his soulmate if there ever was such a thing as a soulmate) made this song even more meaningful to him and that is why he was able to put so much emotion into it. He would gladly have given away everything he owned to have her back. Love your videos and I am sure that I speak for many people here, we are glad you have come over to the USA and we hope you learn to love it here as much as we love having you here.

I dont know too many people who have NOT cried to this song...To me when he closes the piano at the end it represents the closing of a coffin....R.I.P. Johnny...we all miss you....

He took this song which was already amazing and turned it into a goodbye that outshone the sun. Nobody is ever going to cover this song again knowing what they'd be compared with.

Thank you so much for that very truthfully emotional reaction. We can all learn something from his decades long musical career.

Johnny was a great talent. No one else like him.

Johnny is a true legend and icon. I love his Hurt cover because it makes me reflect on my life, and all the pain that I've experienced. And my heart can't stop breaking when I hear it. RIP Johnny Cash.

It made my cry year's ago... and again tonight.. Knowing who he is makes it even deeper!! Thanks!

You are not alone. This song brings tears to my eyes everytime. You can feel his pain

After dozens and dozens and dozens of reviews, I think that you provide the best response and respect to Johnny and his intent.

That was a sweet heartfelt reaction. Johnny Cash sang many songs about God and though he battled many sins in his life he believed the old saying that “Only one life, it will soon be passed, only what’s done for Christ will last.“

The is the most accurate reaction to this song possible..

Well if it’s any comfort Irina most people are very moved by this song and video. It’s a really remarkable work of art. Your reaction was wonderful and natural 👏

This song was originally from the band nine inch nails but johnny cash did it and the lead singer absolutely loved Johnny's version more so he gave the song to johnny. Please don't apologize, it is perfectly ok to feel the music and cry. This is why i love watching your reactions to music! You feel the music and what the lyrics mean. You are absolutely AMAZING irina ❤

You're a very sweet woman and I hope you get to see your parents again soon. It's a very hard thing to be separated from family like that.

Cash was the absolute master of song craft story telling and emotion the world lost a great sage when he died

It was interesting to see how the song really got to you. Music can be powerful. When he closed the piano cover, it was almost like he was closing his own coffin. He lived a fascinating life and has lots of other songs worth reacting to. Picking out a light-hearted Johnny Cash song might be a good idea to balance this one out. A Boy Named Sue is a great light-hearted song.

I can tell you really have a hart. In a world that's lacking this it good to see this . Johny was truly one of a kind.a great man and artist. I'm new to you but I see your a real human .

Your reaction to this song was beautiful your emotions really amplified the meaning of these words I can’t lie it made me very emotional as well watching with you. Keep up the great work and I hope that all is well for you 🙏

🙏🏻🤍🕊️✝️ Your emotions are what it is to be human, Johnny was saying goodbye to us all with this song. God bless him his wife June and his family.

I have seen many reactions to this song. Yours really struck me as genuine and deep. I loved Johnny Cash as a child. It was so sad to see him go with so much regret..

The best reaction to this song I have seen. You are right. It will happen to everyone. A time to be born and a time to die. For everything there is a season…

This is such a great reaction! Great job. It's amazing how music is truly a universal language. This song is so beautiful no matter where you're born. Thank you for the video!

This song makes a tear roll down my cheek i feel his personal pain and grief in a song that is played beautifully

This song always brings tears of sadness, but sometimes we need that.

Your tender heart is heartwarming... Thank you for being a person who has so much empathy...

I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan, & I loved your reaction. Never be sorry for your tears my dear. Especially with this one. If you really want to have a better idea about this song, watch "Walk the Line". It's pretty accurate (embellishments are at a minimum) to Johnny's life. Would take some editing because of copyright, but makes this song so much deeper for his life. Some background on this song though. The video was recorded in Feb 2003. June Carter Cash (in the video on the stairs) passed away in May 2003, shortly after this video's release. Johnny passed away in Sept 2003, this was his last recorded music video. While Trent Reznor wrote the song with heroin addiction for the lyrics ("the needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting"), Johnny had been an addict to (primarily) methamphetamines & alcohol.

You are a real human being, the best kind .

I remember hearing this song when it first came out. I was in high school and it hit me unexpectedly 😪 great song!!

At the time of Johnny's passing, The song Hurt and the Video we're No 1 through out the land . What a way to go on Top .

Johnny Cash is one of the few singers that can speak to multiple generations. This song’s lyrics are pretty deep. I know it’s not his original song but still. Sometimes we don’t appreciate the people around us enough. I definitely have taken your message to heart and made sure I tell my Close family how much I appreciate them. it’s alright to cry Irina, this year has definitely had its ups and downs hasn’t it? Hang in there Irina. ♥️

Thank you so much for your kind comments I really appreciate your content and the person you are keep doing what you're doing you are so amazing have a great day

Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. I didn't know of this song till a couple years ago, it's probably Johnny's best. Songs like this (and others such as "Comfortably Numb" or "Time") have more meaning the older you get. And if someone doesn't cry watching this, they probably don't have a heart or a soul.

You are a beautiful lady, with a beautiful soul. Never be sorry for that.

Beautiful reaction Irina, Johnny Cash is timeless, he can transcend his own genre. This song is awe inspiring to say the least. You’d love The Sound of Silence by Disturbed if you haven’t seen the RU-vid video already. It’s a song originally sung by Paul Simon. He completely nails it and goes beyond his genre, metal.

Every verse was a dagger in this beautiful young lady’s heart 😢

Great reaction ; the only country singer I have any respect for . This song is sung the way I feel many times as a depression and suicide survivor , he sings it like his being is dying and that ability is talent Beautiful Irina

I love how much Johny loves everyone..and you he's everyone hearts.❤

Dont apoligize for crying. Its very very sad. Him and his wife passed not long after this. It was like he was saying goodbye

Maybe the most impactful reaction I have seen to this. The emotion you showed within just the first few bars really feels like you let yourself get pulled fully in to the song's heart.

I have no one next to me I lost my wife to cancer in 2015 she fought for 9years and passed at 47

The greatest Men in Black… we will never forget you Johnny

His daughter was heartbroken after this song, because she commented to her dad that "it sounded like you're saying goodbye, Daddy", to which he replied, "I was, baby." He recorded this a few months after his wife, June, passed away, and 7 months before he himself passed away.

I sang and played this song on my fathers funeral 2002.. me being 21 years old. This is so special

Johnny Cash was. A Great Country Music legend, one of the great songwriters of our generation, although this a cover of the Nine Inch Nails song. This was his last song just before he passed away. Your reaction was honest and real which makes this a very good video. Keep up the good work!!!😎👍👍👍

Ahhhhh, you're 30 seconds in and have already cried and it's fantasic. You varify so many feelings that people have for this song.

I always say Trent Reznor was meant to write this song and Johnny Cash was meant to sing it. The original version by Nine Inch Nails is great. This video is so powerful because this was his last one. His wife June was worried and came down to check on him. That was her in the video. She passed shortly after this video was made and he passed not long after.

I know I had the same reaction as you did. His wife died a couple of months after this. She was encouraging him to get as much done as he could with the songs because she knew he didn't have much time. When Roseanne Cash, his daughter saw this video, she told him, "It sounds like goodbye." He answered her with "It is". He died just a few months after his wife did. Right now I'm at the same age as Johnny Cash when he did this song. I've lost my husband to cancer. Regrets are so difficult to deal with. If only may be the saddest phrase in English.

I prefer the original "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails... It's awesome, but johnny cash covers it pretty well. 😉

Never apologize for showing emotion. When words can make you feel ways like that. It means they touched you. And that’s a good thing.

Nine Inch Nails version is the original version... and the best version. I like Johnny, but hate his cover of this song.

Watched this video many times and never turned it off without a tearful reaction.

A very resl song by a person that lived it. And you are beautiful when you cry means you have a heart, and a kind soul

Listen to the original by NIN (Trent Reznor) he wrote it This cover by Cash is trash!

This is the greatest reaction of all... She is the only one that has truly understood the gravitas of this video

The power of music. Is there anything better? I think not.

Brilliant song and don't worry about it....... every time I see that video it rips my guts out also.

Loved it , love the passion and your spirit.

Irena don’t ever apologize for crying this is absolutely a tearjerker! I cry every time I listen to this. It just shows that you are kind and sweet and loving and have a beautiful heart! From a new fan Christian

You are a beautiful young lady, i am a old man, this song brings tears to my eyes every time i hear it.

That was beautiful to see. Not just the video or the song, but the way it reached your heart and touched you. God bless you.
