It honestly goes to show how great of a cover it is, as it’s a completely different type of turmoil/emotional pain that’s been portrayed to us.

While Johnny Cash's rendition of this song has a special meaning, I don't think people give enough credit to NIN's original masterpiece. The industrial and distorted overlays, especially at the end of the song as it decays, bring the lyrics alive.

@GrassyNoel1 2 года назад

I agree - NIN's version is a perfect piece of music for young troubled men. I find it quite wonderful that its the same words - just each artist bringing their life experience and emotion to a single point of time. In many ways it is like Reznor wrote it as an old man - perhaps that aspect is a reflection on what the drugs did to him.

My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I'm still right here What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way

It's a cool song, but the reason Rick Rubin is Rick Rubin is his profound ability to blow smoke. In the scheme of truly fantastic lyrical writing, Townes Van Zandt, Cohen, Kirstoferson, those lyrics from Reznor are typical teenage angst from the early 90s. They're good lyrics but... Rick Rubin is responsible for getting Cash going again at the end of his years, but playing covers is nothing new to Cash. The majority of Cash's discography is covers. I really enjoy the Lowe Cover of The Beast in Me Cash made with Rubin. Nobody talks about that one.

Interestingly, both originally written by young men around the same age. So, they were feeling these deeper levels of meaning around the same age you are now.

Cool they can act therapeutic for you and I also feel they will only get heavier as time goes on.

I love both versions of the song, they are great. I connected with the song when it first came out on Downward Spiral, and while written by a young man, the wisdom and sorrow in it were outstanding and applicable to becoming an adult and making mistakes and regretting them. But then the Cash cover came, and added a whole new depth to it, the ending of life and the inability to recover, all the that has been lost and no time to rekindle or find anew, the seemingly pointless nature to it all. Brilliant work, on both parts. Sometimes can't even listen to the song it is that powerful.

I don't want to steal the light from Johnny but I would like to show my appreciation towards Trent Reznor for this. Yes, this songs now belongs to Cash, Trent himself says that. It's his song now. But Hurt does not exist without Trent. Johnny's rendition just enriched the words a 100 folds.

The best way I’ve heard it described; Trent was born to write the song, Johnny was born to sing it.

I share a deep love for this song. I didn't know until now it was a cover and I can't imagine anyone else doing it, let alone a young person doing it, because it's so holyshit overwhelming.

I have enjoyed all versions of it, but Johnny Cash's with the music video was really sad and moving. Always makes me tear up.

Rick Rubin is a LEGEND. But to have worked with Johnny Cash in his last years is something that most can only dream. Great Lyrics, Great performance and engineering to get that song with so much emotion throughout. Fantastic Video concept and production and direction. 10/10 on all. Cheers

I once listened to this song 10x in a row and just stared out the window and cried.

Fell in love with this version the first time I heard it. Have enjoyed and appreciated Johnny Cash since the first time I heard him when I was a preteen in the late 50's. Moved on to rock and roll, but never lost touch with that early love of Country and Western Music. Now in my 70's and it is even more powerful with the perspective of understanding so much more about life, loss, and regret. But it's not only the view of an old man looking back, it's the younger man's view as well. I worked as an RN in mental health and had much contact with folks who literally would cut on themselves to make sure they could still feel. This song brings the struggles of many of them to my thoughts as well. Another has said in the comments, without Trent, there would be no Cash version. I am thankful to Trent and Johnny. And deep respect to Mr. Rubin as well. Without his urging, this world may never have been given such a gift from "The Man in Black."

Trent's version is heartbreaking, Johnny made EPICALLY heartbreaking.

The way he closed the piano then rubbed his hands across the lid is exactly the way I have seen old people rub their hands across the casket of their dead husband or wife as a final physical contact.

One of the only pieces guaranteed to make me shed a tear. 🖤

For anyone who is interested, the live version of Streetlights by Jason Isbell is the only other song that comes close to this for me.

@ReigninAmazin17 2 года назад

On par with Cash covering "Heart of Gold" by Neil Young with Frusciante's guitar behind. Absolute classic.

@michaelgeoghegan8850 2 года назад

I with you on this 1 lads, I don't play guitar but I've nearly learned how to play this song as it touches heart every single time I hear it. And to see the expression on yer faces at 1 part of this video just said it all without saying a word. Amazing stuff and Trent must be so proud of Jonnie singing this song too. what an Honour 🇮🇪🥇🥇🇮🇪

Trent is the hero here …. Incredible lyrics - and arrangement- his performance equally as powerful

@josephlynn85 2 года назад

Cash’s rendition makes me feel like a person has comes to terms with who they are…. As sad, as hurtful, as tragic as a life can become has come to terms with reality

@nighthawk4251 2 года назад

I think of Eddie Guerrero and Raw after his passing when I hear this song. I remember watching that show live and it was obviously very sad but when they played that video package of his life with this song, just started weeping.

@ojiij94102 6 месяцев назад

Exactly the words I'd described it - you just feel that this is not only a song - its his requiem, sung by himself. He knew his time will be gone very soon, when he recorded it. And you just can hear that he meant it, with every word.

It is one of the greatest songs of all time and Cash’s version will literally made you or break you.
