The old dude gets it.

This video exemplifies why such cross-cultural reaction videos are an important bridge. Here two people with different culture, language and traditions respond with complete human empathy and can identify completely with the feelings and experience that are expressed in this song. If this doesn't help all of us understand each other, that we are all the same inside, only different in a few exterior trappings, then I don't what can.

The younger man looked like he listened to the message and sympathized with it. The older man empathized with this, he seems like he knows EXACTLY what Cash is talking about.

They both interpret the song wonderfully but the elder of the two is quite profound in his understanding & heart behind the song certainly a voice of experience .

Johnny’s wife June Carter Cash was in the video with him. She died 3 months (May 2003) after filming the video. She was the love of his life. Johnny followed her only 4 months later in September 2003. His cause of death is listed as complications from diabetes, but I truly believe he died of a broken heart.

What’s more interesting is that this song was written by Trent Reznor and Johnny Cash was able to identify with it and make it his own thing. Great reaction.

"Everything evokes memories in old age" Wise words from the old man, and very true. I can only imagine how someone his age (same with Johnny while he was alive) feels.

Cash came from abject poverty. He started picking cotton with his family at five. At 8 or 9 his brother died in a really nasty work accident, for which he felt guilty to his death. He was an addict for much of his life, and spent many a night in prison. He knew hard times. I am a Man's Man, I have a past in the military and as a carpenter, I like to fight with swords, hunting, fishing. When I listen to this song tears roll down my cheeks uncontrolledly. It hits and expresses all the pain inside that we keep under control otherwise to not fall apart. The older man here gets it. He gets it. The song was written by Trent reznor and performed by his band Nine Inch nails, and he was initially reluctant to let Cash do a cover. When he heard it, he said, "This is your song now". Cash's daughter heard it (or was present, I am not sure), she said, "It sounds like you are saying goodbye" Cash replied; "Maybe I am", a few months later his wife passed (she is the woman in the video), and after that he himself died. It was a goodbye.

These types of reaction videos are so underrated. It shows how much one can learn from other cultures, particularly when they are discussing culturally significant things from one's own part of the world. Westerners (like me) rarely, if ever, have the chance to be exposed to these kinds of experiences, perspectives, and wisdom. This video is a perfect example of the value of such a thing.

I think these two gentleman have a spot on reaction to Jonny Cash"s farewell to his family, friends, and fans.

I cried too when it first premiered, this was Johnny Cash's last song and video before he died. May he rest in peace. 🕊 🙏🩷

I cried a freaking lot the first time I heard Hurt when it was released. I think I've cried even more watching it now and listening to these wise people, specially the elder man. He speaks words of wisdom, indeed 😢

Your analysis is so important because it shows that music breaks all barriers. Your feelings about this song are so correct, we all feel pain of different kinds, no matter who we are or where we live. You both have beautiful souls!

This song is full of pain and sorrow. The reactions, especially from the older gentleman are profound. I think people from their culture have a deep understanding of life, I love watching their reaction videos . A very deep song, made me cry

The elder man really does understand what Johnny Cash was singing about! Life is vibrant when you are young, but with age, those things simply fade....what you are left with is memories of what used to be...but it takes on a deeper meaning! I really appreciate the wisdom in these tribal people!!! Sure makes sense as I still try to understand my aging myself. Really liked this!

The song is a profound combination of Trents music, Johnnies interpretation of the lyrics and powerful visuals. It transcends cultures and language. This elder gives an adroit interpretation of what they saw and heard. Its inspiring to see these gentleman affected so deeply by this work.

So heartbreakingly sad and when you shedded tears and reached for a tissue I broke down as well. Music is a universal language that everyone understands, and this reaction was just very meaningful and beautiful. With all the chaos in the world knowing that the majority of humanity longs for love and peace makes it even better. Just beautiful.

Johnny Cash lived a life that many people know. He struggled with addiction at points, which strained many of his relationships and drove people away from him. His songs have that familiar bravado because he sings from the heart about his experiences, rather than a fantastic spectacle. Like many idols of older generations, he struggled. He struggled desperately. And his talent saw him through. So in his late life, he spent a significant amount of time trying to repent and repair his relationships.

I'm in awe of this elder gentleman. His insight and feeling of what life is and the messages this song conveys on different aspects and levels of the human experience.

the elder got it on point.💯

If he only knew something about the man who wrote that song, and the man who helped Johnny to sing it. And everything that happened in between 💜

This old fellow really shows he cares as he expresses his interpretation. It resonates with him.

I feel connection with this elder. May God bless him.

I really appreciate these men's perspective as they listen to the song. Such depth of understanding, such insight, such eloquence. If only people in my own country could express things so well.

Johnny Cash packs a knock out blow, with his words alone. God have mercy on us all!

Never ever heard a better reaction to a song.Great respect for both these gentlemen,especially the older man,whose wise words should be heeded

the beauty where music transcends through time, space, language and every barrier! bhapahs(old man) reaction was spot on...he felt the lyrics to his core!

I would love the opportunity to sit down with that man, ask him questions, and just listen. Sending much love and respect from Louisiana, USA

"Johnny Cashs music will resonate for generations to come." -Uncle Couldnt be anymore true. Johnny Cash is an American Legend. And his messages have no barriers. Let Uncle hear Johnny Cash-Gods Gonna Cut You Down. I feel he is a spiritual man and will deeply connect with it as well.

What a beautiful reaction, specially from the older gentleman! I´v seen many of reactions on this song but this one is one of the best. It left me with teary eyes.

I love Johnny Cash singing this song. Hearing this video was so very nice. Your reaction was valuable and I enjoyed hearing your thoughts and opinions. Thank you very much.

Wow, both nailed it. Old man made me feel it even more. 2 well educated, wise and sensible men that know how to listen to music and appreciate it.

This makes me cry every time. The emotion on their faces is profound.

When Johnny Cash covered this song, it sounded completely different. It’s so painful and pleasant to watch and listen to. It’s so sad and at the same time very warm that a person lived such a strong, difficult and huge life. Thanks for the reaction from Russia!

It's so refreshing & nice to see Johnny's legacy of music being enjoyed & contemplated by other people from different countries & cultures. ❤

Great analysis, depth , clarity and understanding. Really compassionate.

Cash was a country boy, I guarantee he never would of thought people from across the world would be feeling his music. He hase has to be up above smiling proud at his accomplishments and reactions like this.. you cant forget about the good you as a human beingh as done, he gave us beautiful music.

I have said this many times Johnny Cash lived they lyrics of this song even though he didn't write it himself. These two gentlemen hit the nail on the head about the lyrics of this song.

I feel as though the meaning of the song changes as you age. When I first heard the song as a younger man, I felt sad for Johnny and understood he was saying goodbye and touching upon his regrets. Now, as an older man, I feel like in a way I am Johnny, and time is shorter, and I understand the regrets and emotions he relays in the song so much more. I think that is why I enjoy this reaction so much, the juxtaposition between youth and experience.

This is so powerful. That is a song I love and it makes me cry too sometimes. There is so much to feel in it

Every time I listen to this song, I always picture my elderly grandmother, she is my rock. I think of how she lived life to the full. But now to old to walk far. 😪

I cried like a baby the first time I saw the video and heard the song. I was picking up a friend to go out and he made us all come inside.

Wow, what incredible wisdom from the elder, wow!!! He seems to know... no... he KNOWS exactly what Johnny Cash is conveying in this sad song with his aged voice which gives it even more depth! The reaction from the elder is spot on!

“Education is mandatory, but experience matters the most.” Wise words from a wise soul

I’ve watched a couple reaction vids for this and these two gentlemen grasped the meaning better than any of the others. Excellent job fellas.

The sorrow on Uncle's face moves me so much. My own father, may he rest in peace, wore the same expression when he listened to it. He could only stand it once, despite enjoying Cash very much.

Being older this song hits hard. The elder man hits it right on the head. You look back...really look back on your life and ask..did you really live it ? Regrets are a bastard. Getting older is about losing ..you lose friends, health, memories and eventually your life.

every time i hear this song i tear up this song is so beautiful and humbling

The older gentleman spoke of experience and education guiding you, and i couldnt agree more. They are the left and right hand of the archer aiming at the highest ideal of God. Never forget to aim in all you do.

I love this insightful and emotional reaction. Greetings and a hug from California!

Man, I love this. They nailed the meaning of the song and the universal experience of life. I am not "old" per se, but I am old enough to have regrets that make me want to live differently and perhaps have fewer regrets than I might have otherwise. I love that Trent Reznor said, "It's not my song anymore". Cash really made it his own and you feel his pain more than even in the original. And I don't like Cash's music, in general. Country isn't my thing. But this is truly universal.

Wow! I try my best to avoid this song bc I have tried committing suicide myself. I'm a little stronger now so hearing this again only reminds me of how I need to keep going. Walking the straight line. That's a good movie too. This video is beautiful to me. Now I need tissue.

The original song is from nine inch nails, Johnny covered it amazingly.

There is a connection in the human experience that transcends all cultures, and speaks to the heart and deepest feelings. This empathetic connection makes us who we are, regardless of where we live, the language we speak, the beliefs we have. Watching a video like this makes us have more faith in what is possible among human beings.

When I see videos like this, or the other tribal guys channel, reactions of one country from another, etc., I always remember that it’s only governments and “scholars” that want us hating each other, and that for the most part most all of us would be good friends. Me and these men are completely different cultures and faiths, and we could talk music and life and be good friends.

I think this may be the most sincere,accurate "reaction " video i have ever seen.

I love these reactions, to hear the wise words of a man who may be from a country who we may look down upon, he is wise, and we can learn a heck of a lot

The uncle experiences this personally; he has lived in that time period. he has experienced that struggle. and, in his old age, is reminded of all the good and bad he may have done. the nephew experiences it from the perspective of someone who may not have experienced that time period, but has experienced a degree of hurt that makes him aware of the connotations of this song. these two people, from two different generations were able to understand each other on a deeper level because of a 4 minute song. this is why no one can ever convince me that funding for the arts isn't important

The men of the far east have such hearts, I am so glad to see them relate to this song just like men of the far west. God be with us and never leave us.

Beautiful reaction that's very very wise the ladies men perceive these Universal Universal truths. It doesn't matter where you are from, life and death have Universal beginnings and endings for all of us

Джонни лучший, не важно на каком языке ты говоришь, если певец обращается к богу и отражает наши реальные человеческие жизненные ценности и сложности, а не выдуманные, то такой певец будет легендой.

"Proioritizing good deeds and kindess should be a lifelong endeaver" respect that

It’s amazing that Johnny cash’s message can go across languages, and that’s what musics about, if it can resonate with people then It’s worth while

The elder is very wise. He nailed the song and fully understood.

For a man like Johnny Cash to take another artists' song, & make it his own, is proof of how adaptable an artist he truly was. RIP The man in black!

It's remarkable these guys can interpret the meaning of the song without understanding a literal translation of the lyrics. I loved this video.

It's amazing how music bridges the spoken language barrier in such a succinct way 😢

Ameer really gets this song, there was a couple of subtleties that were missed, but those were outside of the song and require context. the one that i think he would understand the most is how that song is like an epitaph not only to his music career, as the last song he ever released, but to his life, as he passed not long after.

A deep, well made and well performed song. Be good to each other and trust.

what fantastic reactions they both nailed it well done

“Life is a journey towards death…”. Very well said

Uncle nails it on getting older. My wife and I are totally alone in out 60's. No one calls or comes by anymore. We are alone this Christmas as we are for our birthdays and our anniversary. Life hurts when you realize that you are more of a burden to people than they are willing to tolerate in their lives. Thank God that there is an end to this kind of misery. Life is a journey towards death. The closer you get to it, the more anxious you are for it. You are ready for the pain to be over.

It's something how almost everyone reacts to this the same way. Best video ever

Generations and cultures coming together over a song and its message and how it affects them both differently! Human kind at it's best!🙂

Awesome to see other cultures come to know Johnny's music.

Thank you all for this Channel 🙏 you discuss your truth! It is rare to see 🙏

Very well said, sir. You are definitely a good mentor.

Beautiful reaction ❤ Greedings from Germany ❤❤❤

The elder knows exactly ! the wisdom ,and regrets , journey of life !

I’m sure when Trent Reznor wrote these lyrics in his 20’s about his heroin addiction he never in his wildest dreams though that decades later a Jonny Cash cover of it would have a tribal elder emotionally reflect on the fragility of life. Music is so powerful.

At 55 I agree with the old guy so much. What we thought was important means nothing. All the treasures we accumulated get tosssed into a dumpster at the end. The memories are what remain. My ex wife died 14th Febuary and the kids wouldn't show up when she lay dying in the hospital. I showed up and stayed with her for 5 weeks while she suffered. Love is the only thing that matters in the end.

Sending love to the old man. Also sending love to tbe young man, and to the old man he will become.

I teared up watching the old dude!

Wow this was very impactfull on both ends 💯love them guys

I appreciate everything you guys do you make great content don’t stop.

Its a song about regrets, realizing there is no redemption. We do things that others say, "you have to forgive yourself" But we know in our hearts, for our actions, sometimes there is no forgiveness. Hence, "Full of broken thoughts that I cannot repair." Time passes in everything but our thoughts. We are cursed to take those thoughts with us to our grave. Believer or not, It makes you fear for your soul.

"Hurt is a song that makes you reflect on your own life choices." Yeah. It sure does.

Beautiful song ,beautiful reaction ❤

Wise old man….respect❤️🇨🇦

Most respect goes to Trent Reznor. The actual creator of this song. This is Johnny Cash covering that song.

I'm not to make it all about me, but this reminds me of hitchhiking through the black forest in Czech Republic and a father and son had never heard Johnny Cash and I had one cassette tape with me so there's to listen to some music and we played it and I'm. The real number for it. ❤❤❤❤ #travellust

What a beautiful reaction

Immediate subscriber ❤ thank u so much for this reaction

I have to tell this part as the Johnny Cash personal family photographer told me about this music video( and I have the photo proofs of June and Johnny's wedding) that June was in the process of dying while this video was being recorded and she came.down the stairs totally unprompted and stood on the landing overlooking Johnny. This is the moment you see in the video. June made Johnny promise on their love that he would not stop making music when she died and that he could only stop when he died. I also have the footage from Johnny's last public performance. June died shortly after this video was recorded and Johnny true to his word preformed until his last day. I was asked by the family photographer and the Cash family to never let all the personal photos I have be sold or published. Some of us care so deeply about June and Johnny that money means nothing. Their music is part of our soul and we will gladly guard their memories.

Amazing commentary and insightfulness

It is worth noting that Johnny Cash's wife passed away a month or 2 after this music video was recorded and Johnny passed as well a handful of months after her.

This is singing from the soul.

This was a cover of a Nine Inch Nails song and the way he sang it made it take on a different meaning than the original. It was moving to the point that Trent Reznor said it's his song now.

The older man gets it more than any younger man could. Only a person nearing the end of their life could ever understand exactly how your mind shifts when you statt to understand that death is not far away. Just a blink away. It a humbling, scary and mellowing experience. Its made me kinder and more grateful for the little things. However, death can hold on bc im not ready yet. Ill fight for every bit of life i can before my time is up. I realize this wasnt written by Johnny Cash. Im referring to the emotion he put into it at the end of his life that a younger man wouldnt necessarily be able to replicate.
