That line of “everyone I know goes away in the end” reminds me so much of my grandpa. He once told me to not feel sad for him when he passes because he’ll be so happy to go and see everyone again. He was the last one left. He was the youngest kid in his family, so all of his siblings and cousins were gone. His wife was gone. All of his friends he grew up with were gone. His band mates were gone. His veteran buddies were gone. He was the oldest one in the room wherever he went. He was the last man standing and while he was mostly a happy guy, it always kinda weighed him down those last couple of years. Great reaction to this 🙌🏼
His Mother is in the picture on the wall. His wife June who was terminally ill, was on the staircase. She had come down during the video shooting to see if Johnny was ok. Johnny said this song/video was a goodbye postcard to June. She died within 2 months and Johnny 6 months later (his friends said from a broken heart).
No matter how may times I hear this song & see the video I cry every single time. Knowing this was his last song always gets me. His closing and caressing of the piano 💔
Your reaction was so pure and genuine💗....and that's how almost everyone reacts to this masterpiece the amazing Johnny Cash gave us before his death. He conveyed such emotion through his voice and the visuals combined, a rare and hauntingly beautiful talent He is still 'The Man In Black' and always will be. R.I.P. 💗
This song was originally written & performed by "Nine Inch Nails". It was written about drugs & depression. But Johnny Cash's version is considered the best. His version is more about regret for past mistakes in life & realizing material things & fame mean nothing in the end. When the video was filmed in February 2003, Cash was 71 years old & had serious health problems. His frailty is clearly evident in the video. He died seven months later, on September 12 & his wife, June Carter Cash, who is shown gazing at her husband in two sequences of the video, had died on May 15 of the same year.
Great Reaction 👍 if you want to continue down the Johnny Cash rabbit hole. The Man in Black is great and so is God's gonna cut you down (the video was recorded after Johnny passed away, it's a star studded tribute)
Johnny had an older brother named Jack. They were really tight. Jack wanted to be a preacher when he grew up. But at 13 he was killed from a saw accident at a sawmill. Johnny watched him die for days. Johnny father told Johnny it should have been him not Jack. Can't imagine what that would do to a kid.
There's not a person yet that's not affected by this song. Not just bc its Johnny cash's goodbye but because it strikes thst chord in us humans that we know it doesn't matter how much money and fame you acquire or whether ur broke in poverty, death comes for us all. And in the end ot doesn't matter who's there, we ask have to face that final journey alone. We will all face the totality of our lives and the regrets we have. The lesson is be careful the bridges you burn.
Johnny Cash was a real one! He didn't think he was above the common man! He didn't let fame go to his head, but he did have addictions that he battled.
The picture is of his mother and the lady on the stairs is his wife. He passed away soon after her. He had medical issues but the truth is that he died of a broken heart.
As a native Arkansan I think it’s illegal here to not be a Johnny Cash fan, Lol, but even still- I grew up on the Man in Black in part because of my dad, who happened to be born exactly 10 months after Johnny Cash (in 1932), and four months before Willie Nelson. When this video came out I tried to show it to my dad; he was barely able to get through it. Seeing Johnny looking so frail and so much older than he really was, hearing that song, just the whole thing... it hit him way too hard. (Not like it doesn’t make me tear up practically every time, myself.)
this did hurt for real...about last song this epic icon recorded in his life.....this did hurt......I get tears everytime I hear it..and its not his song..its trents........this one hits soooo dang hard.
That shot of him and his wife walking into the prison was when they played at San Quentin. They also played at Folsom Prison. John had a soft spot on his heart for people there. There's a video on TH-cam at one of them. They're playing a boy named sue. You should check it, bro. You see another side of him.
Yeah, great reaction, it’s impossible to watch/listen to this and not be affected...cash was always f’n incredible, but that last decade of his life he hooked up with Rick Ruben, the genius producer who produced the beastie boys and Tom petty, and rubin brought him the most amazing material to play/cover-- this is a nine inch nails song, when Trent reznor saw this video, he was blown away....that’s the thing about Johnny cash, he makes songs his own to such a degree, that once he played your song, it’s not your song anymore, it’s his....Johnny wrote plenty of songs, but he did a lot of other peoples material too--- anyway, this whole album (his last, from 2002, american 4) is incredible--if u want more like this, check out a song called “one” from the “American 1” album, and one of the very last he recorded called “ain’t no grave”, it’s all so bad ass...the dude was a force of nature.
When the ladies react to this, they break down and cry....it’s so powerful.....I’ve been known to shed a tear myself sometimes...back in 2002, it was just an instant classic. Anyway, again, great, and thoughtful reaction....and Jay-Z loves Johnny cash, he said to his friend, who questioned his choice of music once, during a car ride “shit, Johnny cash has been singing about guns and gangster sh!t before u were even born”
Ok, dude, I typed those comments while watching , got to the end.....dude, this song makes me weep like a toddler most times I listen/watch ...it’s crazy heavy, amd staggeringly beautiful....hell yeah, man..good stuff, ur channel is great.
He and Trent were good friends because they understood each other very well. They both faced similar demons with cocaine, and music was the only way to escape. RIP to Johnny
Trent Reznor reflected on the video saying, "I pop the video in, and wow. Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps. Wow. I felt like I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore. It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. Somehow that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning. Different, but every bit as pure." The song's producer Rick Rubin said of the video, "I cried the first time I saw it. If you were moved to that kind of emotion in the course of a two-hour movie, it would be a great accomplishment. To do it in a four-minute music video is shocking." Rick Rubin now sees the video as a historical document of Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash, who was 71 years of age at the time of filming in February 2003, had serious health problems. His frailty is evident in the video. He died seven months later, on September 12. His wife, June Carter Cash, who participated in the video (shown gazing at her husband in several sequences), died three months after filming, on May 15, closely preceding him in death. The house where the music video was shot, which was Cash's home for nearly 30 years, was destroyed in a fire on April 10, 2007.
Thank you for reacting to this last video of Johnny Cash. His wife had recently passed away and he was contemplating the regrets he had in his life. That's a tough one.
NIN was amazing live in concert. Trent Reznor can write some songs... and the fact he had the all time best storyteller Johnny Cash cover it... it's utter brilliance. The perfect song for Johnny to leave this Earth with. You should listen to NIN do their song Hurt. Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr, Kris Kristopherson (the outlaws of Country)... now THAT is a fun rabbit hole! Oh yeah, and Johnny actually went and performed at Folsom Prison... no one ever did that. It's a great show!
I like how you always get to the videos quick in the beginning and your thoughts and perspectives at the end are always appreciated for how honest they are.
Even Trent said he owns this song know and so amazing that this is a nailz cover and the last song he ever recorded ..love it for who he he is and what he’s life was huge cash fan ..: still think nailz is better but it’s like two different songs
“Know what I’m sayin’ “ at the end of every other sentence is a meaningless verbal crutch. I challenge you to allow for a second or two of silence if you need time to think. Just a suggestion.
A VERY BRAVE HUMANE PERFORMANCE. REGRET IS A SOUL KILLER. I KNOW. I LIVE IT.
Johnny had a lot on his mind. It’s so sad 😭 and beautiful, because it was his last song he sang😢🔥
His father treated him horribly, always telling him you should have died and not your brother. He had it quite hard. I love him so much. ❤
I WAS NOT AWARE OF DADDIE DEAREST. THAT IS BEYOND FUCKED UP.
So beautiful and sad❤❤❤
It's like Tent Reznor wrote it for him without knowing it. Such a great cover of a NIN song!
When Trent saw this, he acknowledged it was Johnnys song from here on out. Still love both myself. But John’s hits sharper.
I love both versions. But with Jhonny was like a goodbye.
I was thinking it and you said it! 😆❤️✌️
"Trent Reznor was born to write that song but Johnny Cash was born to sing it..." - Bono
@@gk5891 perfect.

Great reaction to this 🙌🏼
I'm old enough to be your grandma and I wanted to say I enjoy your channel. Also, Johnny Cash is awesome. ❤
Same here

No matter how may times I hear this song & see the video I cry every single time.
Knowing this was his last song always gets me. His closing and caressing of the piano 💔
he did record one more song, but this I believe was the last music video footage of him.
He passed right after making this and shortly after his wife has passed. Appreciate you 💙
June died 4 months after the song was released and Johnny died 7 months after the song was released.
Your reaction was so pure and genuine💗....and that's how almost everyone reacts to this masterpiece the amazing Johnny Cash gave us before his death. He conveyed such emotion through his voice and the visuals combined, a rare and hauntingly beautiful talent He is still 'The Man In Black' and always will be. R.I.P. 💗
beautiful reaction brother.. RIP legend CASH
Pain,sorrow, guilt and regret. Things no amount of fame and fortune can outwit. RIP Mr. Cash
He's a child of God and in a better place 🖤
That was his wife, sadly, he had to bury her before his death.
What makes this video so chilling is that it was prophetic .
The video was released in 2002 .
June died May 2003
Johnny died September 2003
It is indeed heavy, and it's a great song with a gut punch of truth. Thanks for your reaction.
He remade that from a song from Nine Inch Nails. Recorded it just before he passed.

the man in black is legend. this song is so heavy
Best Cash track for me.
This was his last song to say goodbye cuz did drugs but his wife June changed his life to Christ as you saw in end of his video
Johnny Cash was a real one! He didn't think he was above the common man! He didn't let fame go to his head, but he did have addictions that he battled.
If this song d break your your heart you are soulless.

Love it!! Check his back in the day live at San quinton prison! Cocaine blues!!! Please!!! ❤️Tennessee
This song has that impact on all of us. Gets us in the feels.
This is one of the few songs that always gets to me . Thanks for reviewing it.

When his daughter saw this video, she said it looks like I'm saying Goodbye! he said I'm

He had the drug addictions and got sober but he was dying from diabetes as well.
Sometimes a cover of a song comes along as if it was written for the person covering it. ❤️✌️
He and Trent were good friends because they understood each other very well. They both faced similar demons with cocaine, and music was the only way to escape. RIP to Johnny

I will keep myself. I will find a way -- and I'll still be the same bastard I always was, because that's who I am.
This one gets me every time
its all good bro! every time I hear this song I get the same way 😄😄 but gotta love a good song sang right! and mr.cash saang that!
I hope you react to A Boy Named Sue. He played it live in front of a prison crowd. So funny 😁
This is one of the best reactions to this song I've seen
Man, it’s so good to see a grown man, with some miles on him himself, react…. A+ reaction, sir….respect to you
Nice heartfelt reaction ❤
Heavy is the right word.. does make you think about the right things. Johnny Cash was an amazing performer.
Johnny Cash and David Bowie both released music videos a few months prior to their deaths
Commentary is great bro on a song that hits real hard for those of us who been in shoes like his.
You understand. You are a smart man.
Road to 50k. Let's go Munroe.
This is that real shit bro! Make you feel a certain way, make you think about your life. Priorities.
Thank you for reacting to this last video of Johnny Cash. His wife had recently passed away and he was contemplating the regrets he had in his life. That's a tough one.
He was a wonderful man but this song make you feel sad for him he have lot of regret in the end
Dude. Your face reacting to this is so powerful. You didn’t even have to say anything, it was just obvious how hard it hit you
Sad video. Sad song. 😥
This is…. 😢 real
Thanks for this upload!
There is a movie Walk the Line, pretty good
NIN was amazing live in concert. Trent Reznor can write some songs... and the fact he had the all time best storyteller Johnny Cash cover it... it's utter brilliance. The perfect song for Johnny to leave this Earth with.
You should listen to NIN do their song Hurt.
Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr, Kris Kristopherson (the outlaws of Country)... now THAT is a fun rabbit hole!
Oh yeah, and Johnny actually went and performed at Folsom Prison... no one ever did that. It's a great show!
Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Thanks for the good heartfelt reaction. He sang many songs about Jesus through his life and I believe he’s finally at peace now. God bless
I’ve been really enjoying this channel bro shout out to you dawg keep it up 👍
This was a tough one for sure
This was so good, your reaction. Dude please keep doing what you doing. All blessings go to you. love you bro!
