Yes, that is his wife. She came downstairs to make sure he wasn't overdoing it while filming and they asked on the spur of the moment if they could film her, too. Part of this was filmed at his home and part was filmed at the Cash museum, which had been damaged by flooding and was closed to the public. It was fitting that he was also closed off and damaged is what I read somewhere. But there he was, surrounded by everything anyone could want on Earth, realizing that it was all a pile of dirt since ultimately that doesn't mean anything to you anymore when you die. (My interpretation.) They did the filming on the fly, no time to prep, no make-up, no attempt to look younger or hide his ill-health. Raw and vulnerable is how I see this. The juxtaposition between the younger man with everything and the old man wishing ... His wife lived long enough to see this, but not much longer. He lived long enough to see it nominated for a bunch of awards (that it, inexplicably didn't win) and died two weeks after the awards show. It's all incredibly evocative and painful, but almost impossible to ignore. If you haven't already, watch the end again, all the way to the part where he closes the piano lid and caresses it as a good-bye, you cut it off a little too soon. Whether it's true or not, I don't know, but it is said he never opened it again. It's very poignant. His daughter said it looked like he was saying good-bye and he replied that he was.

I always hear people say that his daughter said it was like he was saying goodbye and that he replied he was. But every time I ask where I can find that, no body responds. I watched a documentary where she talks about Johnny and June showing her the video, and she cried, but she didn't say that in the interview that I saw.

Cash died on September 12, 2003 in Nashville, Tennessee from complications of diabetes. He was 71 years old. Cash was buried next to his wife, June Carter Cash, who had died 4 months earlier.

@garrymoore2161 Год назад

You stopped it twice in a row before it ended. The last scene has him closing the piano and very tenderly and lovingly stroked it. The symbolism was powerful. He literally never opened it again. His wife died 3 months after the song's release and Johnny died 4 months after she did.

I am an old woman, I was here when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and I have been a Johnny Cash fan since his first hit record "Cry, Cry, Cry" which was released in the mid-1950's. He was such a huge part of my life that I felt almost like he was one of my brothers and when he died I cried for days. I don't want to go all Annie Wilkes about this but I love not only his music but I admire and respect him as a man. Back in Johnny's heyday, of every five records that was sold in this country, one of them was a record by Johnny Cash! He fought some addictions and he certainly wasn't perfect but he had an excellent heart and he was a good man. In my estimation, there will never be any other artist who will come close to Johnny Cash.

@dennyclosser8456 Год назад

That is his wife June Carter Cash who died shortly before the release of this, this whole thing fits him perfectly as it interprets all of his regret that he has and the hurt he has instilled in the ones he dearly loved and to himself. And that whole closing of the piano dude which you cut off, is hugely symbolic as it was the last time he did that in his life he died shortly there after also. Hugely powerful.

@claudeleblanc9257 Месяц назад

You have to watch it to the end. The statement he makes by closing the piano is powerful.

@williamthomas7509 Год назад

Such an EPIC way to end his storied musical journey. It fits him in ways that many do not understand, he made a lot of mistakes early on ... he fought for his wife even though he was married when they first met (his first marriage was not exactly a great loving situation). Their love couldn't be denied even though at first she rejected him because he was still married. Eventually they ended up together and the love they shared carried them through good and bad times ... Johnny worshipped her. She was the reason he took a breath it seemed ... she came from Country music royalty and was extremely talented in her own right. This is probably my favorite reaction to this song, from Trent Reznor the man who wrote the song. " ... told Rolling Stone: "We were in the studio, getting ready to work - and I popped it in. By the end I was really on the verge of tears," Reznor recalled. "I’m working with [Rage Against the Machine's] Zach de la Rocha, and I told him to take a look. At the end of it, there was just dead silence. There was, like, this moist clearing of our throats and then, ‘Uh, okay, let’s get some coffee.'” " Read More: Country Music Memories: Cash's 'Hurt' Receives 6 MTV VMA Nods | theboot.com/johnny-cash-hurt-mtv-vma-nominations/?

Nine Inch Nails wrote it, JC owns it. JC himself had serious issues with drug abuse, that's one of the reasons why the lyrics are so fitting for him. The picture on the wall is of his mother, the woman standing on the stair case is his wife June Carter. The lyrics could not be more fitting as Johnny Cash looks back in retrospect.. It was his last recorded song b4 his death shortly after. Losing his wife just a few months b4 his own death pretty much signed his fate. He loved her MADLY! Thanks for reacting.

Goodbye" An absolutely beautiful and perfect Swan song

@StoptheInsanityofRegressivism Год назад

The Statler Brothers ( country music legends) were discovered by Johnny Cash. They wrote and recorded a song of dedication to Johnny called "We Got Paid by Cash." They tell a bit of his life in the 60's. Drugs and prison were a part of his life. But then he got married, gave his life to God, and turned his life completely around. He had a rough life, but he is also a testimony to how God can change lives. As we get older ( I know from experience) we do have our regrets, sometimes they can cause us pain all over again, but God's forgiveness is eternal. If only we humans could learn to forgive ourselves. Johnny contributed to rock in the early days of rock music. Johnny Cash was a member of what was known as The Million Dollar Quartet ( Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, and Carl Perkins). He sang country, gospel, folk, and rock songs all his career. He was often referred to as a "Rock-a-Billy" a Rocking Hillbilly if you will, or put more respectfully, a Country Rocker. He was a legend and a good man.

@anitaherbert1037 Год назад

His wife died soon after this. So the photo of his mother and the image of his wife. Knowing his story the death of his brother when he was 15, his struggles with drug abuse...this was so painful I cried. It is one of the greatest bravest covers ever. The way he interposed Christian imagery the whole thing was an artistic masterpiece.

@bidwell13 Год назад

The scary thing about this song is it sounds like it was written for Johnny. It follows his life perfectly. His producer Rick Rubin heard the song and got permission for Johnny to sing it. An interesting fact is that Trent Reznor wasn’t sure at first of Johnny singing it cause it was such a bear and dear song to him but once he saw the video he changed his feeling and was honored that someone like Johnny would do one of his songs. There’s a song they released after he died that has a bunch of cameos in it called “God’s Gonna Cut You Down”.

@HeiressOfShadows Год назад

he's so genuine in this video you feel him and feel his soul in this video. the Man in Black isn't there, the old school rebel is gone, it's just Johnny being alone most of the time baring his heart out to everyone who listens. we just see an old man and he's so sad, regretful, and almost resentful of his life. these words came from a young depressed man without a place in this world but they hurt even more coming from a man at the end of his life ready to die cause at least Trent was able to get better with time and help but Johnny, he didn't have time and he didn't want time you can just tell by that look in his eyes you can't fake that look or act it cause that level emptiness only comes out when we've and want it to come. I've seen that look before in person and their isn't a word that can describe the level of just sad emptiness but it's the most heartbreaking look someone you care about can give you especially if their Old like Johnny was because you cant help them at that point, I'm more glad he's at peace now and can be happy in the next life

@pvkoz8698 Год назад

At 8:05 we bear witness to pain and redemption. This is not made up. It's really lived. June Carter Cash was actually not mean't to be in this video and yet she is central to it. He was a cowboy, like a lot of them back then they were flawed. But to me that doesn't diminish what's going on here. June was a very powerful woman in her own right and sang incredible songs. She happened to be Johnny Cash's partner. Interesting how that gets resolved or not. But she's powerful and she does adore her Johnny Cash for better or worse. In the end he knew, he was a rebel but realised that wasn't the way to live a life. She knew but she was very strong in a way and she genuinely understood but she was very powerful so she knew how to rise above it, and that's something she always did. Great human being June Carter Cash.

I really appreciated the way you broke down the change in the main guitar riff? Chord? I don't know, I'm very dumb when it comes to music theory or appreciation. Break it down for me like I'm five so I can learn. And you made another commenters comment click for me. Just playing the change in chords back to back allowed my music deficient brain to understand why I felt so different listening to both songs. They were both feeling helpless and sinking. Reznor was singing about fear of his future. Cash was singing about regret of his past. Both felt they were beyond righting their course or making amends. They are both so hopeless, but the hopelessness of looking forward to many more years hurting *feels* different from the hopelessness of looking back at all your regrets and believing that you hurt you loved the most with no time left to make amends. There are so many ways to experience hurt.

I've seen people say that Trent Reznor's version is a young man in the midst of addiction, realizing what he is doing to the people he loves and knowing he has to change. Johnny's version is an old man at the end of his life, looking back at all of his mistakes, all of the cruel and careless things he did, and knowing that he can never make amends because he is out of time.

@yomo1690 Год назад

@@jimwilson9371 context is everything and edited interviews and sound bites don't help. This is one of the most commonly misinterpreted inferred myths on RU-vid. Reznor has never said Johnny played it better than he could, or that he can't play the song live anymore or that the first time he heard it he said the song belongs to Cash etc. Which you will find constantly in the comments. He hated it the first time he heard it. It only resonated with him when he saw the video (which is an amazing video and the real reason the song got so much attention). It reference to him saying it's not his song anymore, he was talking about the realisation of the power of music. The song was so personal to him, he could remember writing it and how he felt while writing it, he couldn't see a time when he could listen to the song and it not be that. The Cash version (with the video) made him realise that he could hear the song from a different point of view (Cash coming to the end of his life) and therefore let it take a new meaning, therefore no longer HIS song. That was a general statement about anyone covering his songs. Not that he was metaphorically handed over ownership of the song. That's why he said the songs is not his anymore and NOT the song belongs to Cash like people keep regurgitating. I can see how people want to infer it that way, it's got a nice sentimentality about it. He talked about it more for a NIN fan club reddit session. Personally I like the Cash version when I first heard it on the album. But didn't really hit me until I saw the video.

After many years, Johnny's fame faded in the 80s and 90s. But then a producer approached him about doing this. He agreed and did a final album in which he covered several young artists and groups. The album was a hit. When his daughter heard this she said, "It sounds like you're saying goodbye". He replied, "I am". A final poignant goodbye to his lifetime fans (like me) and a fitting finale to a huge career spanning some 50 years. I cannot help but weep when I hear this. I grew up listening to Johnny. He was a staple in my home and my grandparent's home. There will never be another Johnny Cash. RIP, Johnny. Thank you for so many years of great music. I look forward to hearing you in concert in Heaven.

You need to do some more research, he did several albums with covers and originals, called “the American recordings”. I have all of them, Rick Rubin was the producer.

Rick Rubin is the unsung hero of this song. He convinced Johnny to do it, Trent to let them, he made the arrangement and did the production to make the song work for johnny, and chose the director for the video. This was very much his vision

@johnnyb362 Год назад

The director, Mark Romanek, is another hero. He begged Rubin so much for the chance to direct it he told him he’d do it for free.

@@johnnyb362 agreed. The video he put together is a powerhouse. He did a really good movie called One Hour Photo. It stars Robin Williams on one of his serious roles, he does a great job

@@MojiBeau Yes, and no, IMHO. The producer gave him the space to do it 'his way,' and probably suspected the great potential - and of course the arrangement and all the pictures and video, by the director, was huge - but this was all Johnny, and I wouldn't be surprised if Johnny also laid out what he wanted the director and producer to arrange. The closing of the piano and caressing it with his timeworn hands, was brilliant and perfect.

One of my top 3 favorite covers of all time. I always cry when he closes the piano 😞🖤

@TomBagwell Год назад

Make sure to go back and watch the very end, where he closes the piano with a real reverence. He never opened it again.

The look June gives him when she comes down the stairs is heartbreaking. She knows she's losing the other half of her soul, oddly she went first followed soon by him

@brentdykgraaf184 Год назад

His wife coming down the stairs...2 weeks before she passed. She was crying because she knew...she knew this was Johns last recording. He lasted just months after her passing. She was a popular member of the Carter family of musicians..hence her name June Carter Cash.

... she passed 2 months after the music vid was released ... please do ur homework befor commenting also was not his last recording last music vid yes but he did a bit more music after

@lexishaw742 Год назад

The last shot is the most important. He slowly closes the piano and pats the cover. He’s saying goodbye, to his music, to her, to us.

Cash was an addict. He related to this song like few ever could.

@KarlaElaine100 Год назад

Just watch Walk The Line movie…Johnny and June had a profound love story. Truth be told, he stopped “living” when June died. He died just a few months after June passed.

Hurt is how Johnny was feeling at the end of his life. He knew addictions, struggles, lies, deceit and love. He suffered along the same lines as Trent....he understood what Trent was saying so Johnny chose this as his goodbye song. Johnny recorded this song in February 2003. June (his wife on the stairs) died in May 2003. Johnny (71) died in September 2003.
