In this video, I react for the first time to Johnny Cash performing "Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails. In this video, I analyse Johnny Cash’s amazing performance, explain and demonstrate his vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. Trent Reznor is one of the most influential artists of our time and this cover really shows it!

A few things: as for hoping his life would go well: in his short time of life afterwards, he would go blind and lose his wife. Junie actually was not scheduled to show up for the video shoot. Her concern was real. Johnny was by far the sicker of the two, but she died six months before Johnny. You're right, Johnny made the song his own, Trent Reznor said as much.

Johnny and his wife, June Carter Cash, had been diagnosed with terminal illnesses. Johnny was determined to out live June, as he didn't want her to be the one to suffer the pain. June died in May 2003, Johnny in Sept. 2003. The picture on the wall was Johnny's mother, his wife June was in the video.

"HURT" was nominated for six VMAs at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, and won for Best Cinematography, Justin Timberlake who won for Cry Me a River in his speech said "This is a travesty! I demand a recount, John Cash deserves this more than anyone here tonight."

It took a while to make this recording happen and I have to believe he knew it would be his last. June (his wife, on the stairs), passed a few months after this was recorded and Johnny passed a few months after her.

From memory, he was still doing the occasional live performance until late July 2003, which is a shade over a month before his death. He also completed American V: Hundred Highways which was being recorded well into August 2003. He recorded his last song, "Engine One-Forty-Three" in early September 2003, for the the 2004 compilation album "The Unbroken Circle: The Musical Heritage of the Carter Family."

My point of view is people who "need jesus" are the most likely to "find god", because their life is so screwed up due to lack of self control, they need something external to keep them in check. Religions are good at keeping you feeling guilty, so you are constantly self evaluating. I started asking tough questions about christianity when I was 10, and my preacher father told me I needed more faith. I left the church at 15 and haven't looked back since. I know it's issues better than most church goers as I saw the little man behind the curtain. But I AM willing to admit for a select few it really helps.

What scares me is that…I very likely have less than half the amount of years I’ve already lived, left to live. Chances of me making it to 75 aren’t good. Hell, right now, chances of making 55 may not be good. I try not to be afraid of what’s coming, but it’s very difficult. Especially for someone with a major panic and anxiety disorder. The older I get, the more people I lose and the angrier I get at just aging in general. I always scoffed at the phrase “Youth is wasted on the young”, but it’s so damn true a lot of the time. That’s not an insult, it’s just how it is. Most people don’t really understand how precious or important time is, until it starts becoming short.

You are the first and most likely ONLY “reaction video” creator that I subscribed to and follow.

She and I would talk about songs and your insights reminded me of the same level of detail she would go into. Great job, especially of Johnny Cash’s version of “Hurt”. It was a song some of my buddies I listened to several times before I lost them outside of Taji, Iraq in 2004. You DEFINITELY have the personality of my youngest daughter. I love both my girls equally, but you two seem cut from the same cloth. Believe me, that is an awesome compliment because I have so much respect for because of how great she is. Thank you. 😊

My father, in the final year or two of his life, discovered this song. I often caught him listening to it. Cash was anticipating his upcoming passing when he sang this. He knew his life was soon to end. He could truly feel this song as I believe he was tired of life. I believe that's why this song hits as hard as it does. Johnny Cash was truly feeling the emotions he conveyed in the song. An old man who's friends and beloved wife are gone. He had nothing else to live for. My father felt the same way. In the end, dad was depressed. This song spoke directly to him in a way music never had before.

Similar to my dad, we always listened to Johnny Cash together. Once my mom was gone he knew it was his time shortly after. He died 6 months ago and it still feels like yesterday. I played this at his funeral. My dad and mom were together 50 years, she died 7 days after their 50th anniversary. He was pretty much done after that.

@kleberrodrigues9678 8 месяцев назад

There are songs that touch the soul, and then there's Johnny Cash's rendition of "Hurt." Originally composed by Nine Inch Nails, Cash took this haunting melody and infused it with the raw, weathered essence of his own life. Every time I watch the video, I'm overcome with a mixture of emotions. The juxtaposition of Cash's frailty against his legendary status is a poignant reminder that even the most iconic figures grapple with their own demons. The video serves as a visual testament to the toll that time and life's trials can take on us all. Cash's gravelly voice adds a layer of authenticity and vulnerability to the song, making it feel like an intimate confession. As the lyrics unfold, we're taken on a journey through his experiences, regrets, and ultimately, his acceptance of the impermanence of it all. Fame, success, and wealth, though glittering, ultimately fade in the face of our shared humanity. The video is a vivid reminder that, in the end, it's the flashes of genuine, unguarded happiness that define a life well-lived. So, as I hit play and let Cash's haunting voice wash over me, I'm reminded to cherish the fleeting moments of joy and connection that truly make life worth living. "Hurt" is a masterpiece that will forever be etched in our hearts, a timeless reminder of the fragility and beauty of the human experience.
