[RV] JOHNNY CASH - HURT (NIN COVER) : Bankrupt Creativity  

Man, it's always that piano in the chorus that gets me.

I didn't think the video could be any more depressing but man, you made it even more sad, i love how honest you are though, it's refreshing to see a youtuber wear his heart on his sleeve and not just put on an act, that's what makes you so likeable.

It's so sweet to see you get emotional over things close to your heart

This is one of those songs/videos that makes me cry no matter how many times I have watched it. Thanks for the reaction!

"back in the 90's, when I was really into lsd..."

I'm here crying with you. It's okay, sir! loves XOXO

It made the feels even more when he started crying ;--;

Bad ass reaction! Nothin needs to be said after Cash sang that!!

Me being a retired Marine, I still cry every time I hear/watch this.

The man truly was a legend... It was once said that Johnny Cash makes everyone love country music, and I honestly believe it.

This is actually sad

This is without doubt the most heartfelt reaction when reviewing Johnny Cash's version of hurt. Respect

I don't usually cry but this is one of those song or video that really got me

IMO this was A LOT more emotional than the original... It's simply viewing it at the perspective of an old man who is reflecting on his life... Even the composer of this song admitted that when he listened to JC's version of his song he immediately realized that he lost and accepted that the song is not his anymore... He compared it to losing a girlfriend to someone else....

I was on Mr. John & Junes tour security detail in the late 80s, We became close friends and stayed it touch till the late 90s when their health began to fail... He gave me a smile & wink at June's funeral, he loved her with everything he had.

Just wanted to say thank you.. I've watched several of ur videos. And my heart goes out to you. I'm also a crier nothing to be ashamed about. Just how we are built.people like us are getting far and between. And I'm not only talking about sobbing. Talk about ur character. May ur days get easier and blessed to the Max. Thank you again God bless

i think this is the best cover of all time

he puts his heart into making his videos and actually says what he thinks and is not just acting when he crys

The video and song make you think of your own mortality, its kinda hard not to cry

@NearlySeniorCitizen Yetagamer I had the very same reaction to the video, to see him put his own words and soul into the video and by sharing visuals from his life, the good and the bad, past regrets and feeling alone were powerful, you can have everything but it doesn't matter if you don't have someone. My grandfather was a huge Johnny Cash fan and turned me onto his music when i was a kid, I played this song at his memorial service, everyone was in tears. Johnny was truly phenomenal

Such a beautiful sad and powerful song. Trent heard Johnny's version and he said "Its no longer my song... its his song" Much respect for both musical legends.

For those of us getting older....who've lost loved ones...seen your kids leave....lost your life partner....it puts your entire life into perspective. I cried when I heard this song for the first time and I cried just now watching this. It really reminds you to love every day as if it were your last.

RIP Johnny Cash

My dad was a huge Johnny Cash fan; I was six when he took all of us to see Johnny and June live. I introduced him to this song, and I still remember him replaying the video again and again and crying. We played this at his funeral. One of the songs where the cover far surpasses the original. I cry too when I hear it.

i love this song so much. Normally a straight hip hop guy but i like Cash a lot and this is one of the few songs that can make me tear up. Its no doubt in my top 5 songs of all time. I do have The Downward Spiral and think this version is even better than Reznor's great original version.

One of the few songs out there that breaks me. This song is perfect for him at this point of his life as he was nearing the end of his journey on earth!

I'm 47 and have watched that video 1000's of times and still tear up every time.

Real men show raw emotion.

Sorry, but this is one of the very few covers that destroys and surpasses the original. I've heard NIN sing it but Johnny Cash makes it so emotioinal. This was the perfect song for Cash to leave us with. It's as powerful as David Bowie's final goodbye with Lazarus. Thank you for the video I enjoyed it immensely. You got a new subscriber !

Omfg I started watching you about a year ago. Wasn’t consistent but always came back to you. I just found this video as well, watched it and I’m in tears. In absolute tears. I’m 16 but I’ve been through hell and I’m not even an adult. In and out of mental hospitals, abused, neglected for most of my life and hated myself for years because of it. I’m finally at a place where I’m getting help and it feels amazing. But I think I was meant to find your video, this song. This channel. Because you have no idea what you taught me today just by being yourself. Keep doing you my man, stay safe and live life. Much love. 💯✌️

will watch again, this is PURE

"Everyone I know goes away in the end..." and "I will let you down, I will make you hurt" I just lost it when he sang that with such emotion. Missing my friends... my family and everyone who has passed away or isn't in my life anymore. This hit too close to home. Great youtube channel man

So fascinating how different the meaning is when a young man and a old man sings this.

You are a rare individual, not many people at your age understand technology. Your honesty is also rare these days. I wish the best for you and thank you for your videos and please continue making videos.

Man, fucking ninjas cutting onions around me

I do not think it is possible to make as good cover as this without living the life and knowing the pain. He's version oozes truth and honesty. So thankful he made this at the end of he's life. A testament to the man in black.

Probably the greatest cover of all time....simply beautiful

Thank you for your honest reaction and sharing your feelings. I always adored the art of Cash. I miss him...

Your reaction. I'm speechless and crying too. Man... you could see the joy in Johnny's earlier life, what was taken away for a bit. Thanks for reacting to this song, I'm a big fan of John.

he died like a few weeks later right? What a way to go out

Johnny Cash is the country version of goth music. Even if you don't like country music, you can relate to Cash on some level.

Your emotions reminded me the first time I heard this song. A big hug from Uruguay

Respect from Chile, you are awesome!!!

johnny cash was a amazing singer he was amazing rip johnny cash.

There are no words for how much I love this reaction - I cry every single time I watch the video to "Hurt". Much love to you from the UK xxx

What a great video about a great man. Thanks for this.

Thank you for this. Thank you for being alive and sharing your pain with us. Lots of love for everyone. Stay safe

thats what I call ... reaction.

(Former) Marine, I always show emotion listening to this.

Johnny Cash is amazing. This song can make the toughest person cry

I've been watching quite a few of these "Hurt" reactions and they are so very similar in their effect on the listener. This song forces the listener to think about things they usually are trying NOT to think about because it's driving the deep questions right into the heart of those hearing it. Meaning "Why are we here?" "Where am I going?" "How should I be living?" "What have I been living for and how?" "What is really Important in life?". Then when they are done it's so often silence and difficulty describing what they are thinking or feeling. "Hurt" is an "Anointed" song and Johnny's video especially.

ok this man gets it ........i have seen alot of these reviews on this song ...he actually cries ...so he gets it .....i can not watch this video without crying every time .....its that deep and this man and i can relate to it very much ....the regrets of life and in the end it all means nothing ...and if he could do it all again ...a million miles away ...he would keep himself .. he would find away ....and the way his wife looks at him ..the hurt the saddness she felt ..as she was watching him destroy his self ..she stuck by his side till the end ...

This song not only perfectly describes the human condition it reminds us all how fallible we are. That message needs to be heard now more than ever.

I have never wanted to hug a a stranger more in my life than I do now.You seem so tortured by this song.I have heard it a hundred times at least,and it touches my soul (as it did yours) every time.

Your show of emotion proves just how important this song is. Yes, it's a cover, but event T.R. said that this is Johnny's song now. It's just to powerful. Johnny singing it, in itself, can move a person to tears. Especially because of his life and that he felt this song. Much love to you ... and long live Johnny Cash.

Truly moving. Thank you so much for sharing your reaction

your genuine reaction made my day

I love old music

Holy shit. It’s one thing to watch some 30 something reactor listen to the lyrics and watch the scenes. The most that we get is a misty eye and a mild feeling of sadness. It was so tough watching this, seeing someone who is well aware of Cash in his prime and the legacy he left before his life spiraled. For you it’s probably comparable to seeing a reflection of Freddie Mercury if he were in Cash’s shoes. In the latter half of the song, I could also feel the hundred images flashing through your mind, though I’m less than half your age. Thank you, Mr. Nearly

Just want to say thank you for sharing this personal moment with us i'm a new subscriber and feel privileged to be able to see you hearing and sharing this song with others,as this song hits me so hard too. Thank you Chris.

I'm with you man. NIN made a great song but this cover is so powerful. Especially with alcoholics like myself.

It's the rich buffet vs the farm house imagery for me. That's the sweetest regret, in my opinion

I actually never cry........ Except for this song

don't worry man i cry every time i here Johnny cash sing this song i feel exatlly what your feeling love brother.

this song makes me think about death and makes me tear

Thank you, I cried together with you.

indeed the most powerful song of the 2000s

There is no shame in being human my friend. I am moved to tears every time I even try to describe the song and video to others. It is a fitting epitaph for a man who moved millions of people with his music. God Bless and keep you "Man in Black".

I truly appreciate your reaction to this, as it mirrors my own reaction to this song EVERY time i watch the video or listen to it. It is the "everyone I know goes away in the end, and you could have it all, my empire of dirt" line that really gets me.

I miss you grandpa

The emotion of this man is pure genuine

I always come to this reaction when I need to feel something. I've heard/seen this many times before but your reaction always hits my heart in ways I cannot explain.

This song effects people in many different ways. I feel the song makes us look at ourselves and the things we've done in our lives, the good and the bad. We reflect on our regrets and past decisions. More importantly we wonder how people will remember us when we are gone.

You know Nearly Senior Citizen, sometimes the pain is truly the only thing that's real and feels real and no matter what you do to mask it you'll painfully realize it's still there and find yourself asking what have I become? Regrets and broken thoughts begin flooding your mind and heart and intensifies the pain and then truly you wish you could start again a million miles away! Your reaction is heartfelt and no matter how many times I see this video I still cry. Anyway \m/ \m/

You aren't alone. This made many cry. R.I.P to your soul mate and best friend

I get emotional every time I hear this song

This song embodied all of his regrets. Became the outlet for him to unburden himself before he leave. I'm sure Mr. Cash have no regrets now. In heaven, with his wife.

Cash was already a legend, but then he gave us his parting shot - the greatest cover song ever made.

I love how true your emotions are

Facebook brought me here seen a couple of videos now and look forward to seeing more 👍🏼

Crying with you, buddy!

As a 25 year old I feel too much personal regret and sadness this song delivers to myself. Im too young to feel that amount of regret of oldness, but it feels like being "an old soul" in midst of younglings..

Such a honest reaction. You sir are wonderful

If this song made you cry (which I know it did but don't worry I cried too) you should listen to his (Johnny Cash's) version of You are My Sunshine. That song will hit you right in the feels.

This song breaks me everytime😢😢😢

This has to be one of the top 3 best covers ever made in music history.

I have heard this song so many times it still gets me

I think that's one of the only ways you could have ended this video. What a video to start my impression of this channel. He made me cry more than the song did.

Cannot, this made me cry. It's beautiful and so powerful! Johnny was and IS the man.

It still makes me cry, too...even after all this time.

I love NIN's version, but Johnny's version just takes it to a whole different level. I cry every time I hear it.

Trent lost this song to The Man In Black forever and that's perfectly fitting. Powerful.

I’m a Nine Inch Nails fan and love the original, but I adore the Johnny Cash version even more. It just seems so much longer r e raw and honest, especially given the life that Johnny Cash lived. It’s like Trent Reznor wrote it about him in the first place.

The emotional response from watching your reaction to this one by Johnny Cash is a great one, I certainly appreciate that you posted it without editing your emotions out because they really do make for a better reactions! So thanks & I hope to see a lot more of your reactions in the future....

I love Johnny Cash!

this song gets to me every time too. i feel it in my soul. I feel that way most of the time.

Oh don't cry. But it is such a good rendition of the song. Having loved Trent for so long I was so sceptic of someone touching his song. Specially this one. And I couldn't imagine Johnny Cash doing it. But he really did a great job on it. I think it hits us also when we get up there in age as we understand just how much the little things mean to us. We could have these big empires but they are nothing but piles of dirt compared to the ones we've lost along the way. I never really understood why there's all these reaction videos but I'm so glad I came across yours. I think it's great. I also find it interesting that you like postcards & keychains. Back in the day when I 1st started going to concerts I started collecting keychains. I literally had them hung around the corners in my bedroom then coming into the light in the center & down the corners. I still have them & they fit a large tub which I have given my daughter. I still collect keychains but rarely do they sell them at concerts anymore. I have another tub full of concert paraphernalia from over the years & t-shirts like crazy. I had a whole room full of magazines dating back clear to 89 but my last move I had to get rid of a lot of them. My daughter ended up having to go thru them for me cause I couldn't handle it. Anyway, I do love to talk & I get a kick how you talk while watching. I used to drive my kids crazy & now I see why. lol. I now have my little dog & she'll listen to me talk all day long. Anyway, I'll catch ya later. K

Thank you for being so genuine and vulnerable. It means more than you know.

at least he didn't cry for two hours like i did.

this shows me that life is the most valuable treasure
