"Hurt" is a song originally written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and later covered by Johnny Cash. The song was first released by Nine Inch Nails in 1994 as a single from their second studio album, "The Downward Spiral."
Johnny Cash covered "Hurt" in 2002, and his version gained widespread acclaim for its raw emotion and poignant delivery. The cover was featured on Cash's album "American IV: The Man Comes Around." The accompanying music video, directed by Mark Romanek, is particularly notable for its somber and reflective nature.
Cash's rendition of "Hurt" is often regarded as one of his most powerful and moving performances. The lyrics, combined with Cash's weathered voice, create a deeply emotional and introspective atmosphere. The cover is considered a testament to Cash's ability to interpret and make a song his own, even when it was originally from a different genre. - บันเทิง

Johnny Cash did struggle with addiction for a period of his life. Trent Reznor was reported as being hesitant about Johnny doing this song, but after he heard it, he said the song was Johnny's.
It was his swan song, he died not long after this, 7 months later. His wife June died a few months before him. Hits me right in the heart every time I hear this.
I think he might have tried to hold on longer if June hadn’t passed. But I think he died of a broken heart.
me too 😢
@kroakie4 oh definately. June was his life. His family knew he wouldn't live long after June passed.
Apparently when his daughter heard it she said (paraphrasing) "it sounds like you're saying goodbye" Johnny replied... "I am".
“I wasn’t prepared for what I saw, and it really then wasn’t my song anymore.” - Trent Reznor
From 1959-1968 Johnny was arrested 7 times for alcohol & drugs. He never served time per se' but he spent many a night in jail. His wife June was his salvation & this song is perfect as his swan song. (They had a famous duet together called 'Jackson' if you want to dig deeper.) This video showing some of his youth & his movie clips & his childhood home etc. makes this extra powerful. His tourist museum 'The House of Cash' all closed down & stripped bare. Sad.
I hope everyone is aware it's Trent Reznor's most vulnerable song and what an amazing cover Johnny did 🙌🏼
This was the last song Johnny Cash recorded, and he passed away soon after. His wife had already passed away and I think he was ready to go because he missed her so badly. She's the lady you'll see in the video , it was an old video of her, with the long hair. The picture of the lady on the wall was his Mother.
Actually, June was alive when this was recorded, and that is her. She did pass away about a month after the filming, and Johnny passed about 4 months later.
@@jimtuell4076 My mistake, I thought she had already passed at that point. I wish Johnny wouldn't have recorded this song as his last, but I guess he had his reasons. It's so heartbreaking.
This video was recorded / released in late 2002. Johnny's wife, June, passed away in May of 2003 and Johnny followed a few months later in September 2003. That is June on the staircase. She came down during the recording - the love and concern she has shows so clearly. She wasn't originally meant to be in the video, but who in their right mind would have edited her out of this? They didn't. Johnny was very ill, they sometimes had to record just a line or two at a time to get through it. Beautiful, haunting, sad, real.
@@user-uq6xk6ds3qThe fact that it is heartbreaking is probably one of the reasons why Johnny chose this as his last. It's pretty obvious he knew he didn't have much longer left. This was his goodbye, and much like his career, it left a lasting memory.
@@user-uq6xk6ds3qAs heartbreaking as the song may be, this song gave Johnny the recognition that had eluded him in the prior decades and at least he was able to go out on top. He deserved that.
Johnny struggled HARD with addiction...he even spent time in jail.....the guy went though a lot...Trent Reznor, who wrote this song said after hearing Johnny sing his song, said that it was no longer his song but belonged to Johnny Cash.
I've seen Nine Inch Nails five times in concert including once when David Bowie came on stage to sing "Hurt." It has always been one of the most powerful and emotional songs in their set list and initially I couldn't imagine Johnny Cash performing it. But it's a very simple and direct song and the lyrics took on an added weight when sung by Johnny, who was so clearly in his final days. His version came out in 2002, and he was dead a year later. That realization of his pending mortality made it all the more heartbreaking. But a God-fearing man until the end, Johnny changed the lyric "I wear this crown of sh*t" to "I wear this crown of thorns."
absolutely agree. Love NIN (woulda done a lot to get to that Glass Spider tour!) But Johnny truly did the song justice, gave it a gravitas that NIN never did. Transformed it into something else, just as good if not better.
@@PoliticallyPink Actually it wasn't Glass Spiders but rather the Nine Inch Nails and Bowie co-tour in the mid-90's. I'm horrible with dates so I looked it up and Glass Spiders was in 1987. Meanwhile NIN's Pretty Hate Machine came out in 1989 (a date I actually remember). I reviewed it for a local newspaper and the tragedy was that NIN opened for Bowie out of deference to his greatness, but a large number of NIN fans would leave before Bowie's set as a result. Trent either anticipated this or saw it happening early on in the tour and so he would come on during Bowie's set to collaborate on Scary Monsters, Reptile, and Hurt, ostensibly to keep some of the clueless segment of NIN's base from leaving early.
His daughter was there when they shot the video and when he closed the piano she said, "It feels like you're saying goodbye." He answered, "I am."
This is the best cover ever done. It changes the way the lyrics hit from NIN version. Just so much emotion.
I agree. But I Think Disturbed's cover of The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel is equally as good as this. Coming in next would be Jimi Hendrix All Along the Watch Tower by Bob Dylan. Dylan said that it was now Jimi's. 😊
I heard that at the end of the song when Johnny closed his piano, he never opened it again. Goodbye brother Johnny may peace be with you. 😔
You know the video is going to be amazing when Rick Rubin does it. RIP Johnny Cash
Every time I lose someone, I come back to this song. Why
The Johnny Cash museum in Nashville is pretty cool. You walk through the building seeing some really great artifacts and learn about his life from beginning to end. You learn about his brother's horrific accident as a kid, different things from his school years, playing music, going to the Air Force, traveling the country, etc. At one point you see a letter he wrote to his first wife from a military base in San Antonio when Johnny was about 20 years old; she went through a lot with him, but he eventually broke her heart and left her for someone else. Johnny loved his 2nd wife with all his heart, but he still realizes he was a P.O.S. when he was younger. You see the good, bad, and ugly all the way through the museum, but at the end of the museum route you come to a hallway with older pictures of Johnny and the song Hurt playing as you look at some last artifacts with the Hurt music video playing on a small TV. It's pretty powerful and it brings everything full circle. "Hurt" was a N.I.N. song, but the song was meant for Johnny. Nine inch nails pretty much gave him the song after he covered it.
What a powerful video and song. RIP Johnny Cash!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
When June appeared I started to cry, I knew it would happen, thank you guys...
I am a Man's Man, but this makes me unabshedly weep. I feel that pain, he speaks right into my soul with the pain I keep repressed.
Johnny had his own battles with addiction, as well. Not heroin, but, cocaine, and, pills. But, Johnny turned it into the most powerful, regret filled goodbye EVER. And, Rick Rubin's production, and, engineering was simply BRILLIANT!
I often say Johnny Cash strips a song down to the raw emotion. No frills, just the feel.
All these years and I have to say that this is the first time Ive heard this.
He died shortly after and his wife as well. she was the 1 on the stairs Coming down to make sure he was okay
What a powerful song, hits home so hard when youre struggling and addicted.
Rick Rubin got with Johnny and said he wanted to produce an album with him. John asked what can you do that all the others didn't. Rick told him you in my studio with your guitar and sing whatever songs you want to have on the album. The album is called "American Recordings" which is the 81st album by American country singer Johnny Cash. It was released on April 26, 1994 by American Recordings, by the way this song was not on the album just wanted to let you know its out there.
Another fun fact about Rubin was he knew his Pro Wrestling. Enough that he helped Jim Cornette to start Smoky Mountain Wrestling and if he doesn't cuss you out, then you must have a good grasp.
I grew up hearing Johnny Cash....when i seen this video the first time....i couldnt talk...i couldnt move...i just sat there
If this doesn't make you cry your heart has been surgically removed. Johnny Cash was fire, i was never a Trent Reznor fan but i found new respect for him after what he said about Johnny Cash.
I was thinking the same thing…I cry every time I see it…and I’m a 52 year old man. Makes you think about your life…all your accomplishments…and all your regrets.
I like the combination of two older guys (like me) combined with the younger gentleman.
I had a different perspective in my 30’s than I do now in my 60’s.
Nice job men!
I still cry when I watch this. Great reaction. ❤️✌️
Johnny Cash struggled with addiction to both drugs and alcohol most of his life...he finally beat both...
Thank you so much for not interrupting the video. You are A class gentleman. Respect ❤
I get choked up and teary eyed when I hear this song....
The video is a masterpiece. If the song alone didn't get you, the video will.
He closes the piano keyboard lid like he was closing a coffin lid.
I heard that his daughter told him this song sounded like goodbye, and Johnny said "it is." He died less than a year after he did this song-- I think but not sure it was his last.
The end was symbolic when he closed the piano and rubbed his hands across gently. He knew he would probably never touch those keys again 😢
I cried like a baby the first time I heard this song
I think a lot of us cried when we heard it, especially if the first listen was watching this video. So powerful and sad.
All three of you guys are awesome to watch!
Johnny died shortly after making this song. His wife died 4 months after making this song. She passed on May, 15th 2003. Johnny died 3 months after June (his wife), on September, 12th 2003. Gives this song even more meaning. When Johnny Cash closes the piano it was the last time Johnny Cash ever played.
Everyone is gangsta until 'Hurt' starts playing
The members of Nine Inch Nails said this was Johnny’s song now….😢
Wow. Every time I hear that it's more intense. Good one guys. Keep em coming
Johnny Cash was 71 when he died. R I P ✌️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Sunday Morning Coming Down
All Johnny Cash's real life on film... his Jamaica house, Tennessee house, and his house he grew up in, lost his brother in, left home to go in the Army😢
You can have everything, but if you feel you have nothing, you have nothing. A lesson to embrace closer the true important things in life, like family, like love, like friendship, like compassion... Although the really important things in life may be few, embrace them properly, go live live to the full and you can feel you have everything!
Supposedly his daughter after hearing this said "it sounds like you are saying goodbye." To which he reportedly said "I am."
Powerful but in an understated way. Poignant & moving.
Probably the greatest cover ever made
You guys are really really great....spot on with this reaction. I could see your emotions change and come full circle....thanks for doing this one...everyone can get a life lesson from this video and your reaction.
Thank you so much!! This really touched me. -- Corey Roy
My daughter was hospitalized when she was 15 for Suicidal concerns. She says she can't listen to this song. Johnny Cash was an addict and did hurt a lot of people around him. This was a life story, and he did sing this in the most heartfelt way
Love that you assumed he wasnt talking his own actual heroin addiction
The regrets of a dying man is a sad thing.
Great reaction ❤ I love Johnny Cash ❤you have to do a Boy name Sue ❤
Just so you know that whole album is Fire❤
A true legend ❤
It was his last song and trent reznor said it was no longer his song after Mr. Cash made it his and NIN version is completely different but just as powerful
A boy named Sue is a great song of his and muchh more light hearted.
Just found you guys. Glad I did excellent reactions I’ve been checking them all out. 👍
I'm not crying your crying ... I followed Johnny Cash through my life even though I was a rocker he was on a level above the rest . He survived drug addiction and personal struggles to produce some great music. This one gets everyone in the cajones.
"Swan Song" is the perfect description. The song is powerful but that video intensified the power of that song. Have you guys seen the Movie 'Walk The Line'? Joaquin Phoenix plays him in the movie and it's powerful AF!
What Johnny and Rick Rubin did with this was masterful. The raw emotion of that single piano note is unreal.
*It's like this song was made for him. That's why his manager (I think it was) suggested it to him. Another song that seems like it was made for him, even though not relating to his life, is "I Hung My Head", by Sting. Y'all should check out the original, then the Johnny Cash cover.*
Man, no matter how many times I've heard this and watched the video... I feel the hurt, the beauty and tears well up. My eldest uncle was a big fan of his. At his funeral he had "When the man comes around" playing. Before that time all I knew was " Ring of fire " probably.. What a beautiful soul this man was. Both Cash and my uncle. Love.
Your reaction is so good guys!
Great breakdown guys. Really thoughtful. Song is powerful and you all felt it.
I've watched this video over 100 times and it always chokes me up. Johnny's voice has so much emotion in it.
His daughter is the spitting image of her mama
That last shot of him closing up his piano is so damned powerful.
Hey guys...That was a great breakdown of this video....Mad good for you to catch all the references and apply it here.
Good job fellas, this obviously resonated with each one of you and you all had great take aways!
He was referring to drugs because he was a drug addict and an alcoholic for yrs and he caused a lot of pain to his wife and family. His wife never left his side through 35 yrs of marriage. In this song he reflects on the fact that his love ones are the real treasure and his career that made all that money was an empire of dirt.
As soon as I saw what song you were reacting to I put my headphones on and watched the video. Excellent reaction to an excellent song. The emotion in Johnny Cash's voice makes this song hit hard. One of my favorite songs by Johnny Cash is A Boy Named Sue. My Dad loved that song ,I think of him every time I hear the song. For a fun song by Johnny Cash, listen to One Piece At A Time.
When you see the frame around his Record broke It hurts so much to see the way the record industry just pushed him aside. It was shameful the way they treated Johnny Cash To the end.
Love Johnny Cash 💖
poignant song with near perfect imagery to go with it... a real work of Art... thanks for stepping into it
The change in your faces when the second line comes in....is profound. It shows how much this song affects everyone.
You should do “God’s gonna cut you down” another fire song from the man! 💗
This was indeed Johnny Cash's swan song recording it just 7 months before he died. He did suffer from a decades long struggle with substance abuse which he finally kicked in the late 80s.
Well done
LONG BLACK VEIL is a personal fav that doesn t get much love for some reason
Trent writes like no other
This stabs me right in my old cold heart 😢
Johnny was a recovered addict
Also Dolly Pardon is 78 and just did a rock album and did Princes song Purple Rain and did an amazing job!!! Almost 80 and can sing her a$$ off!!
I didn't read through the comments, but I'm sure someone has recommended 'A Boy Named Sue' for a lighter song of his for a change. Great reaction.
You have to watch the video for Johnny Cash's song A Boy Named Sue. Great reaction guys.
You’ve caught the Cash magic. Every one of his songs is worth a listen. Check out the Wanderer with U2 backing him up. You’d love it! Thanks guys. Love your reactions!
One of the rare times when a cover eclipses the original. RIP Hohnny Cash. ❤
He saved his very best for last...
This was Johnny's last song. His wife died several months before and he struggled with herion addiction and alcoholism in his younger years.
Rolling Stones - "Gimme Shelter"
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is off his final album, CASH, which won a posthumous Grammy award. It really is a good album. He wrote the album because he knew he didn't have too many years left and he wanted to give his family a boost of money to live on after he left. Plus he wanted to say goodbye to his fans. On that album, theere is a song called Until We Meet Again which is really nice farwell from him saying that we'll all meet on the other side.

Nine Inch Nails discography is generational. If you choose to go down the rabbit hole you’ll find their sound evolves in chapters.
Broken was one of the first albums I ever owned and the first NIN album I got way way back in 1995 (came out in ‘92)
But anyway if you want high energy, early, aggressive Nine Inch Nails then give “Wish” a shot.
“Head Like a Hole” (‘89) was one of their early commercial successes and also a good introduction to industrial metal/synth. It may sound a little dated but still a classic.
“Closer” (‘98) is a solid track and the only song most reaction channels do. And most of them do it for the shock value of the video. But it is a good song.
I could keep going with every one of their albums and tracks but just know what y’all said at the top of the video about how it’s another rabbit hole is no joke they have 11 studio albums the first came out in 1989 their most recent 2020. And each album is a new sound and completely new energy. Also with most of their stuff properly listening in stereo will have a major impact on perception. If you throw one headphone behind your ear, DJ style, it will not be the same experience.
Damn I wrote y’all a book. But yeah NIN goes hard and Trent Reznor does some really crazy mixing/production to create interesting sounds and samples.
I genuinely hope you listen so a few of their songs from some different decades!
This is a great video guys!! Some more good ones are Folsom prison blues, and a boy named sue ❤
Johnny's drug addiction had been to pills and in his cover the reference to the "needle" was about suffering from diabetes in his later years and the "sting" of insulin injections.
Thanks guys for the analysis. Next Johnny Cash song to do it "When the man comes around".
Johnny was more than ready to rejoin the love of his life, June Carter Cash, in heaven. I believe that's why he chose to do this project. If you're a fan of Johnny, or just respect his legacy, there's a touching video of his last performance in public. I think it was done at a nursing home that he was residing in.
🙏Johnny💔 "I'll walk the line".😌
Johnny also struggled with addiction. You guys should watch Walk The Line. It’s a great movie and you’ll learn a lot about his life. There was one thing in that movie that was obviously incorrect, if you’re a little more familiar with his past but I don’t want to say it now in case you decide to watch it.
Watch the movie" walk the line.. " it was about his life. He did have addiction when he was younger. The movie shows his addiction issues..
