      He does, song is 100% about reflecting on the regrets of your life and the things you did that you knew would end up hurting you or the people around you but you did them anyway and looking back and living in the regret of those things. This is the life of a masochist, someone that can't help but do things that hurt themselves and almost subconciously do them intentionally because all they know is living in the shit pile of regret and self hate they have. That's real shit.

    The elder gentleman understands the song better than most reactors. It's about the fact that the older you get the more you regret your bad decisions and actions from the past. "Prioritizing good deeds and kindness should be a lifelong endeavor." Sadly, that is not the world we live in. Thank you for this. Very touching.

      We can't forget our past or shut the door on it. From our mess comes our message. From hopelessness come hope. If we are armed with the facts about ourselves we can help someone else. Before that can happen, we need to be honest with ourselves. Be authentic, do the hard work and accept the results. If you can do that you will avoid all the misery that gives you these regrets. You can always start over, but you need to accept the past and present to see a better tomorrow.

      Think about His life. He sang that song shortly after his wife died. He's been watching all his friends and family die, one by one, all things familiar grow strange, all his friends pass away... Johnny Cash was all alone when he sang this song. He had no one else, and this song was his last message to the next generation who is already growing old. Weight and substance means more than we know. So much more than we know, but those of us who live on will learn how much it means.

Johnny's life was filled with joy and misery, and like most of us from his own action. Knowing the richness of Johnny's life and some of the depths of his pain, I wouldn't trade my own miseries to have had his life. Upon reflection, I can admire his accomplishments, but understand his journeys pain after my own disappointments. Even the author of this song appreciated the feeling and expression Johnny put into this song. Few can truly understand the depths of pain until they've lived it. The comforts of our lives bounty is nothing without having those we loved around us to enjoy it also.

    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.

The emotional impact that it had on the two of them was both boldly honest, and palpable.

    He would keep himself, he would find a way. Johnny Cash won everything in life, but he lost himself. We deeply feel the agony of his regret, and it is a blessing in the lesson it teaches us. We must really think hard about what we prioritize in life’s journey. Also: I am Armenian American diaspora, the inflection and desire to be understood and heard in your voice and the similar words to Armenian that I noticed made me think of my elders discussing sacred matters of humanity. Thank you for this. Your wisdom and experience shine through in your thoughts about the song, the honesty you have to call the main topic of the song “regret” makes you much like Johnny Cash -brave. It is hard to be so honest and in touch with the truth of such a thing. I know I will take this lesson, to “keep myself” even if it means a less successful looking life, all the way to my final days. Seeing a wise elder willing to look at pain and regret with clear vision, despite how hard it is to do so, will help strengthen me in my goal to prioritize the right things and not lose myself. Thank you for letting such a difficult song into your heart in front of us.

    When Johnny closed the cover to the piano 🎹🎶, that was his way of *saying goodbye.* I believe that this was the last video and song that he performed before he passed away. In case the guys don't know, the lady standing on the stairs watching Johnny was his wife June. Johnny passed away Sept. 12, 2003... His wife June passed away May 15, 2003.

      There’s a story that goes June was not meant to be in the video. She was standing on the prop staircase, off camera, observing Johnny do his thing. One of the crew noticed the emotion on her face and in her eyes while she watched her once-vital, now feeble husband do what he loves, and turned one of the cameras on her. She was unaware she was being filmed, and the expression on her face is pure and without pretense. I hope my wife looks at me like that in my eighties.

    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.
