This song no matter who sings it is a reflection of what I have been going through in my recovery and letting go of the people who never really cared about me. It hurts, but it was necessary for my mental health. Thank you for being real.
I love this song. It's strangely the first music video I heard after arriving in Japan. I didn't like the original but I love the johnny Cash version. His older voice fills it with a greater depth.
Your Reaction Was My Reaction When When I First Saw This Video It Was Very Sad But Very Fitting For Johnny He Got To Say His Goodbye With June, I Love This Video It's So Deep & Honest, I've Seen A Lot Of Reactions To This Video But I Can Honestly Say You Had The Most Emotional & Impactful Reaction Of All. You Are A Good Person!
Try the studio version of Dylan's 'knocking on heaven's door'. Also... 'Higher Love' by Steve Winwood. Also... Any of Celine Dion's top songs. She can sing like no other. Literally... Also... 'Mister Bojangles' by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band... 'In the Air Tonight' by Phill Collins... None of them are 'moving' like 'Hurt', but some are pretty and you might like them. Thanks also for your video on the Star Spangled Banner. Thank you for becoming a citizen and loving our country and its freedom. And thank you for your beautiful reaction 'Hurt' by poor Johnny Cash.
To me this is the most important musical recording in American history. A once in a lifetime song written by a once in a lifetime songwriter and then covered by a once in a lifetime artist at the end of his life.
Johnny lived a life. He did great things and he made bad mistakes. What you hear in his voice during this song can't be faked. It's the sound of experience that only comes with time. Experience is, as Oscar Wilde said, one thing you can't get for nothing.
The amazing thing is to consider that at this age Johnny's voice has deteriorated from its greatness. He is just quietly singing without any embellishments in a narrow vocal range and still produces one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard.
Yeah the emotion in his voice is so visceral, and you can hear the changes age has made to his once more perfect voice, but the imperfections only make the song better. This song has so many damn layers its insane
@@soulsnatcher5408 Can't believe it was that long ago, the emotional part is that this was filmed in February 2003, June Died in May and he followed her in September
Never apologize for letting the music hit you like that. I'm almost 60, and Johnny hits my heart just the same with this one. I've tried to teach my kids "we honor our tears" - tears just mean you're letting yourself feel the world for real. Thanks for sharing with all of us out here on the internet.
@R Etset its made its rounds over there in Russia an its just as Melancholic. Thought you'd like to give it a listen ol timer th-cam.com/video/WDhaOEF6IXg/w-d-xo.html
@@RussianReactionReviews as a Southern guy and a big Johnny Cash fan…I cry every time I hear this song…God bless you girl 🙏🙏🙏 especially with all the crap we are living with in our current day and time…peace.
The fact a song about drug abuse and depression could be completely changed into a song about reflection and regret without changing a word... ...is amazing on its own.
"Hurt" was originally a Nine Inch Nails song, written by Trent Reznor for the band's second studio album, The Downward Spiral (1994). When Johnny Cash first asked Reznor for permission to cover the song, Reznor was flattered and ultimately gave his approval, but he had concerns that the idea "sounded a bit gimmicky." those concerns were put to rest, however, when Reznor saw the music video for Cash's cover of the song, at which point Reznor became a big fan of Cash's cover. In Reznor's words: "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."
JOHNNY CASH CAN MAKE A ROUGH DIAMOND INTO A SHINING PEARL AND A GLITTERING WONDERFUL GEM STONE ...HE HAS DONE THAT WITH OTHER SONGS TOO.... IT IS PART OF HIS MUSICAL TALENTS.... RIP JOHNNY...
Never be sry for your beautiful emotions...We all go thru this. We'll always remember our loved ones. Let it out...cry. You have a beautiful soul. Johnny Cash a legend.
Don't be sorry for crying. I have listened to this song at least 1000 times and I still break down and cry. The deepness is all out in the open. And as you learn more about the song and the filming and everything with this video it just gets deeper and even more tear pulling. Johnny was a master and this in his masterpiece above all of his other masterpieces.
I feel this hit close to home for you? I can only imagine how hard it is to follow your dreams that take you SO far from your family and friends. Stay strong Irena! Always know that your family is proud of you and so happy to see you living your life and following your dreams. I hope you're able to see them soon! No need to apologize for being a sensitive soul. It's part of who you are and one of the things your TH-cam followers like about you. I feel that you need a hug!🤗 This is the best I can do.
I can tell you really have a hart. In a world that's lacking this it good to see this . Johny was truly one of a kind.a great man and artist. I'm new to you but I see your a real human .
A man between heaven and hell anguish by his past,hoping for forgiveness.The Pain of addiction and now sobriety reflecting back on what once with tremendous regret..
I am 51 years old today. I grew up listening to Johnny Cash my parents did too. Does it matter how many times I see this video, even though I am a strong-willed independent, intelligent strong and fearless man, I still break down in tears. Life is fleeting and time passes so quickly. It's amazing the last thing he recorded told his life story and what everything in the end meant to him.
The best reaction to this song I have seen. You are right. It will happen to everyone. A time to be born and a time to die. For everything there is a season…
never apologize for crying, especially over such an emotional song like this. johnny cash made this song his, and the video really covered so much of his life, his experiences, and his belief. im a huge fan of johnny cash, and have loved his music for years. this song, no matter how many times i hear it, or watch this video, i cry.
Your reaction is about on par with mine, I can't watch it without tearing up, 12 years of addiction, regret, broken relationships and self hatred. I'm a year sober now and doing better, but it still hits like a truck. Really makes you appreciate what you have though.
Thanks everyone for the kind comments :) still a lot of issues to work on, mental health and finding true peace is a never ending battle, but still sober (almost a year and 5 months) , currently sitting outside playing guitar with a sun shower after a workout and finishing an assessment :) pleasure in the small things, practise gratitude everyone. And if anyone out there is struggling with addiction! You got this, I know every day it's a nightmare but do not give up, there truly is light at the end, even if it takes years, every day you get up and try is a success! Keep striving to be a little better every day
Thank you so much for your kind comments I really appreciate your content and the person you are keep doing what you're doing you are so amazing have a great day
The part about trying to kill your memories but you still remember everything. Years in the military I can relate so much to this. I just want to forget, but I learned to live with the memories.
I cry my ass off every..single..time I hear this. Johnny was a hell of a man, reminds me of loss, regret, and life experience. He was a drug addict back in the day and so I was I so I get the regret, but he prevailed and went on to be one of the best human that ever lived. Thank you for this
I love your reaction, ive notoced the east slav women are the sweetest ladies full of love and pure emotion...this is one of my favorite reaction videos to this song. God bless you little lady.
Hello Irina. I have seen this video and heard this song a few times. Today was the first time I almost cried because you started crying. I don’t like to see you cry but I know you have a sensitive soul. Don’t change.
This song was originally from the band nine inch nails but johnny cash did it and the lead singer absolutely loved Johnny's version more so he gave the song to johnny. Please don't apologize, it is perfectly ok to feel the music and cry. This is why i love watching your reactions to music! You feel the music and what the lyrics mean. You are absolutely AMAZING irina ❤
Life is hard. We all have weaknesses, we all have insecurities, we all make mistakes. Johnny gave us this song as a reflection on his own life, where he confronted the fact that his past was far from perfect, but he also showed in the imagery of Christ that he believed there is life after death. He believed in mercy, in repentance, and in forgiveness, although it's hard to feel those sometimes when we're in the midst of trials and sin. I'm so glad Johnny covered this song as one of the last songs he ever sung, and to you for reacting to it honestly and openly. Never take for granted those around you.
Though this song is very sad and it can be hard to comprehend the weight of it, Johnny Cash left us in the best way possible. He had a very successful career and left us with this extremely powerful swan song that will guarantee that his legacy is never forgotten. I don’t know many artists that had the opportunity to say goodbye in such an honest and heartfelt way. David Bowie with Lazarus is another good example.
Irina, you never have to apologize for showing such deep feelings. The woman in many of the photos in this video are of his wife June Carter Cash. He lost her not long before he himself passed away. This was likely one of his last songs and I know that the loss of his wife June (his soulmate if there ever was such a thing as a soulmate) made this song even more meaningful to him and that is why he was able to put so much emotion into it. He would gladly have given away everything he owned to have her back. Love your videos and I am sure that I speak for many people here, we are glad you have come over to the USA and we hope you learn to love it here as much as we love having you here.
Wow. I have listened to Mr Cash sing this (and other songs with deep meaning) many times in my seven decades but it is always so great to see and hear how it effects someone else. I really enjoy watching reactions from creators who are real, like this young lady. I appreciate the raw emotion and feelings that were expressed here. Thank you for this. I wish good health, happiness and all the very best to you and your families!
He became a true country star recognized wherever he performed. He made millions and won countless awards. Near the end of his life, it was all dirt and the only thing that mattered was the relationships of his life. But one by one, everyone he loved died and as an old man, there was just his wife and himself. He was tired of living and took this lyrics about someone suffering through drug addiction and made it look as if he wrote it about his life and regrets. At the end of the video, he closed the piano and lovingly caressed a symbol of his music. He never touched piano or guitar. Three months after the song was released, his wife passed and he was truly alone. Seven months later, he joined her in heaven.
it always gets me when he touches the piano at the end. I've seen so many people near the end of their life do that. That tactile sensation means so much to our understanding of being part of the world
I dont know too many people who have NOT cried to this song...To me when he closes the piano at the end it represents the closing of a coffin....R.I.P. Johnny...we all miss you....
You are the most beautiful young lady I've ever seen, and the fact that you are so moved by the pain in this song only makes you more beautiful as a human being. Thank you.
I love this song and I have never come close to feeling emotional while listening to it. I gotta be honest Irina, I got a little teary-eyed seeing you cry during this reaction.
Johnny is a true legend and icon. I love his Hurt cover because it makes me reflect on my life, and all the pain that I've experienced. And my heart can't stop breaking when I hear it. RIP Johnny Cash.
I can see your a good hearted person I wish I could cry I've had so much pain it's my hole life he knows pain that's why he sings this so well he's right on the spot with this song u can have it all my empire of durt
Well if it’s any comfort Irina most people are very moved by this song and video. It’s a really remarkable work of art. Your reaction was wonderful and natural 👏
He took this song which was already amazing and turned it into a goodbye that outshone the sun. Nobody is ever going to cover this song again knowing what they'd be compared with.
That was a sweet heartfelt reaction. Johnny Cash sang many songs about God and though he battled many sins in his life he believed the old saying that “Only one life, it will soon be passed, only what’s done for Christ will last.“
I appreciate your sincere and emotional reaction. My guess is that we all begin to take stock of our lives near the end and begin to see our actions over our lifetime more objectively. It is important for each of us to feel we have made a difference on others in a positive way; that our life had purpose and meaning. Johnny Cash was chasing his demons. I think the lesson of this video is that ultimately, we each will hold ourselves accountable for what we have done over a lifetime. No defensiveness, no doubletalk, just reality. There is no escape. We are ultimately accountable to ourself.
I have seen many reactions to this song. Yours really struck me as genuine and deep. I loved Johnny Cash as a child. It was so sad to see him go with so much regret..
It was interesting to see how the song really got to you. Music can be powerful. When he closed the piano cover, it was almost like he was closing his own coffin. He lived a fascinating life and has lots of other songs worth reacting to. Picking out a light-hearted Johnny Cash song might be a good idea to balance this one out. A Boy Named Sue is a great light-hearted song.
Johnny Cash is one of the few singers that can speak to multiple generations. This song’s lyrics are pretty deep. I know it’s not his original song but still. Sometimes we don’t appreciate the people around us enough. I definitely have taken your message to heart and made sure I tell my Close family how much I appreciate them. it’s alright to cry Irina, this year has definitely had its ups and downs hasn’t it? Hang in there Irina. ♥️
@@RussianReactionReviews Your very welcome Irina🙂 Sometimes in life you just have to have a little bit of faith and keep moving forward. You probably know that better than me. I’m sure Montana has helped you a lot this year. I know my dog has got me through some tough times.
Oh my God I love that you are so in touch with your feelings you were emotional you’re passionate besides being absolutely beautiful angel your channel you’re amazing
This is such a great reaction! Great job. It's amazing how music is truly a universal language. This song is so beautiful no matter where you're born. Thank you for the video!
I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan, & I loved your reaction. Never be sorry for your tears my dear. Especially with this one. If you really want to have a better idea about this song, watch "Walk the Line". It's pretty accurate (embellishments are at a minimum) to Johnny's life. Would take some editing because of copyright, but makes this song so much deeper for his life. Some background on this song though. The video was recorded in Feb 2003. June Carter Cash (in the video on the stairs) passed away in May 2003, shortly after this video's release. Johnny passed away in Sept 2003, this was his last recorded music video. While Trent Reznor wrote the song with heroin addiction for the lyrics ("the needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting"), Johnny had been an addict to (primarily) methamphetamines & alcohol.
Your reaction to this song was beautiful your emotions really amplified the meaning of these words I can’t lie it made me very emotional as well watching with you. Keep up the great work and I hope that all is well for you 🙏
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. I didn't know of this song till a couple years ago, it's probably Johnny's best. Songs like this (and others such as "Comfortably Numb" or "Time") have more meaning the older you get. And if someone doesn't cry watching this, they probably don't have a heart or a soul.
@@RussianReactionReviews my pleasure - thanks for bearing your soul, too. Just curious - do you know of the Russian group "Leonid & Friends" ? They are amazing, doing cover versions of songs by Chicago, Steely Dan, etc.
@@RussianReactionReviews great - and thanks for responding back! they toured near me a couple months ago (East Coast, US), but I was so busy that I couldn't go - try these two songs: th-cam.com/video/P_8aZZ9d_EA/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/HQdoD0R9d1w/w-d-xo.html
You're amazing. Normally i with any other song I'd be taken by your beauty. But in this case your physical beauty, amazing as it is, is outshined by your your heart and sensitivity. Those are the things that make you awesome.
I am sorry for your loss. I know, sounds hollow. I lost my dad recently, my mom a couple years before. All I can say is keep up the fight. We are all here for a reason, even if loved ones are not with us anymore.
Great reaction ; the only country singer I have any respect for . This song is sung the way I feel many times as a depression and suicide survivor , he sings it like his being is dying and that ability is talent Beautiful Irina
Beautiful reaction Irina, Johnny Cash is timeless, he can transcend his own genre. This song is awe inspiring to say the least. You’d love The Sound of Silence by Disturbed if you haven’t seen the TH-cam video already. It’s a song originally sung by Paul Simon. He completely nails it and goes beyond his genre, metal.
His daughter was heartbroken after this song, because she commented to her dad that "it sounded like you're saying goodbye, Daddy", to which he replied, "I was, baby." He recorded this a few months after his wife, June, passed away, and 7 months before he himself passed away.
God bless ya sweetie every time I watch ya you touch my heart! Seeing you cry makes me cry also. That tells me you have a big heart and a kind and beautiful way about you and this song touches me a little more than most. Thank you
Johnny Cash was. A Great Country Music legend, one of the great songwriters of our generation, although this a cover of the Nine Inch Nails song. This was his last song just before he passed away. Your reaction was honest and real which makes this a very good video. Keep up the good work!!!😎👍👍👍
Lovely heartfelt response. You seem very honest and sweet. Thank you for sharing your emotions to a song/ video that cannot be ignored. Love, an incredibly handsome, married, man with two children from two other woman.
Such a beauty you are and your English is better than many who grew up speaking it. Cash, like many of his contemporaries, lived lives of drastic contradictions, first living wild and free and careless then maturing into elders of the views and wisdom that only comes living life. It’s not necessary to nearly destroy yourself to gain wisdom but it is necessary to age and pay attention as you age to do so.
I always say Trent Reznor was meant to write this song and Johnny Cash was meant to sing it. The original version by Nine Inch Nails is great. This video is so powerful because this was his last one. His wife June was worried and came down to check on him. That was her in the video. She passed shortly after this video was made and he passed not long after.
Video was recorded in February of 2003. Then June died in May of 2003. Then Johnny died in September of 2003. One of their children asked him, is he saying goodbye in this song. Johnny replied back, Yes.
Sometimes that happens to soulmates particular if they have been together most of their lives. When my Grandmother died in 98, my Grandfather died a month later. When my Auntie died at 75, her husband died 3 weeks later. Quite simply people can die from a broken heart, as some bereaved partner lose the will to live.
*Agree, the original is much better.* Johnny's voice sounds flat, you can tell he was about to croak soon. I'm happy Trent showed some respect for his elders and allowed JC to cover it. Made JC relevant again on his way out the door; after being dormant for years.
Hi Gabe, I noticed in the comment section a lot of people keep asking me to check that version of it,, I will have to take a look at it.. thanks for watching with me
never apologize for this reaction to any art form but especially this song and video. it is the reaction we should have when we see this. very few people were better at making us look in the mirror than Johnny Cash.

To me this is the most important musical recording in American history. A once in a lifetime song written by a once in a lifetime songwriter and then covered by a once in a lifetime artist at the end of his life.
I agree, the greatest music video of all time.
Absolutely! it's a clear message...money doesn't buy you happiness,it's all the other things that matter.
Calm down
can't disagree with you and I have played with many of the greats in huge orchestras, but nothing as deep as this.
Nine inch nails wrote and performed the original of this song but johnny cash just sang it better
The most relatable and saddest song I've ever heard. I cry every time I hear it.
How can anyone NOT cry to this? Don’t feel embarrassed, it just shows you have a heart - many do not.
Amen....
When I first saw this video I cried, and still do all these years later.
Facts
It made me cry when it first came out and I have cried every time I've heard or seen it since then.
Johnny lived a life. He did great things and he made bad mistakes. What you hear in his voice during this song can't be faked. It's the sound of experience that only comes with time. Experience is, as Oscar Wilde said, one thing you can't get for nothing.

and it doesnt cost a penny
And to think it's just a cover too
Yeah the emotion in his voice is so visceral, and you can hear the changes age has made to his once more perfect voice, but the imperfections only make the song better. This song has so many damn layers its insane
you can say that again this song is meaningful
Your reaction gives me hope for the future of this world. Maybe if we all reach in and touch our feelings we might save ourselves.
Can’t believe he’s been gone almost 20 years now, but his music will never die
It’s a good thing it’s good to share it , I enjoyed it
@@RussianReactionReviews So amazing, thank you so much.
It will eventually. Everyone forgets you eventually. That's another sad thing. Eventually through time no one will ever know you existed.
@@soulsnatcher5408 Can't believe it was that long ago, the emotional part is that this was filmed in February 2003, June Died in May and he followed her in September
Shoutout to Rick Rueben the producer who chose this song for Johnny .

This song always gonna stay i my heart.. Thank you for watching, I appreciate tha
You're a very sweet woman and I hope you get to see your parents again soon. It's a very hard thing to be separated from family like that.
Thank you so much for your kind comments I really appreciate your content and the person you are keep doing what you're doing you are so amazing have a great day
The part about trying to kill your memories but you still remember everything.
Years in the military I can relate so much to this. I just want to forget, but I learned to live with the memories.
I love how much Johny loves everyone..and you he's everyone hearts.❤
I cry my ass off every..single..time I hear this. Johnny was a hell of a man, reminds me of loss, regret, and life experience. He was a drug addict back in the day and so I was I so I get the regret, but he prevailed and went on to be one of the best human that ever lived. Thank you for this
I love your reaction, ive notoced the east slav women are the sweetest ladies full of love and pure emotion...this is one of my favorite reaction videos to this song. God bless you little lady.
the fact your crying means your human, never forget that surge of emotion rising up inside you, thats what humanity feels like
Thank you Frank
The power of music. Is there anything better? I think not.
Hello Irina. I have seen this video and heard this song a few times. Today was the first time I almost cried because you started crying. I don’t like to see you cry but I know you have a sensitive soul. Don’t change.
Thanks John
This song was originally from the band nine inch nails but johnny cash did it and the lead singer absolutely loved Johnny's version more so he gave the song to johnny. Please don't apologize, it is perfectly ok to feel the music and cry. This is why i love watching your reactions to music! You feel the music and what the lyrics mean. You are absolutely AMAZING irina ❤
Life is hard. We all have weaknesses, we all have insecurities, we all make mistakes. Johnny gave us this song as a reflection on his own life, where he confronted the fact that his past was far from perfect, but he also showed in the imagery of Christ that he believed there is life after death. He believed in mercy, in repentance, and in forgiveness, although it's hard to feel those sometimes when we're in the midst of trials and sin. I'm so glad Johnny covered this song as one of the last songs he ever sung, and to you for reacting to it honestly and openly. Never take for granted those around you.
Thank you for this. I can't cry anymore. It's cathartic watching you feel emotion.
thank you for watching and commenting
Though this song is very sad and it can be hard to comprehend the weight of it, Johnny Cash left us in the best way possible. He had a very successful career and left us with this extremely powerful swan song that will guarantee that his legacy is never forgotten. I don’t know many artists that had the opportunity to say goodbye in such an honest and heartfelt way. David Bowie with Lazarus is another good example.
Well said !!
Irina, you never have to apologize for showing such deep feelings. The woman in many of the photos in this video are of his wife June Carter Cash. He lost her not long before he himself passed away. This was likely one of his last songs and I know that the loss of his wife June (his soulmate if there ever was such a thing as a soulmate) made this song even more meaningful to him and that is why he was able to put so much emotion into it. He would gladly have given away everything he owned to have her back. Love your videos and I am sure that I speak for many people here, we are glad you have come over to the USA and we hope you learn to love it here as much as we love having you here.
The tears this song brings to everyone are such a reminder of how powerful and connective music is for each of us together.
Crying is a natural reaction to something so beautiful and full of pain.
Wow. I have listened to Mr Cash sing this (and other songs with deep meaning) many times in my seven decades but it is always so great to see and hear how it effects someone else. I really enjoy watching reactions from creators who are real, like this young lady. I appreciate the raw emotion and feelings that were expressed here. Thank you for this.
I wish good health, happiness and all the very best to you and your families!
Thank you Wesley. I really appreciate your words and for watching with me. Wishin you all the best to see you
He became a true country star recognized wherever he performed. He made millions and won countless awards. Near the end of his life, it was all dirt and the only thing that mattered was the relationships of his life. But one by one, everyone he loved died and as an old man, there was just his wife and himself. He was tired of living and took this lyrics about someone suffering through drug addiction and made it look as if he wrote it about his life and regrets. At the end of the video, he closed the piano and lovingly caressed a symbol of his music. He never touched piano or guitar. Three months after the song was released, his wife passed and he was truly alone. Seven months later, he joined her in heaven.
it always gets me when he touches the piano at the end. I've seen so many people near the end of their life do that. That tactile sensation means so much to our understanding of being part of the world
It was the last time he played it too.
Johnny was a great talent. No one else like him.
I dont know too many people who have NOT cried to this song...To me when he closes the piano at the end it represents the closing of a coffin....R.I.P. Johnny...we all miss you....
Well said Rick
You are the most beautiful young lady I've ever seen, and the fact that you are so moved by the pain in this song only makes you more beautiful as a human being. Thank you.
I love this song and I have never come close to feeling emotional while listening to it. I gotta be honest Irina, I got a little teary-eyed seeing you cry during this reaction.
Uh I cry a lot with this song.
Me too
You are a real human being, the best kind .
Johnny is a true legend and icon. I love his Hurt cover because it makes me reflect on my life, and all the pain that I've experienced. And my heart can't stop breaking when I hear it. RIP Johnny Cash.
Never apologize for showing emotion. When words can make you feel ways like that. It means they touched you. And that’s a good thing.
You are not alone. This song brings tears to my eyes everytime. You can feel his pain
Beautiful song
They were connected that they died months apart. Shows you the strength of love.
Thank you so much for that very truthfully emotional reaction. We can all learn something from his decades long musical career.
Thank you for watching with me
Have a blessed day today
You’re absolutely beautiful. Even more so in your vulnerability. Thanks for this. Well done.
Dont apoligize for crying. Its very very sad. Him and his wife passed not long after this. It was like he was saying goodbye
I can see your a good hearted person I wish I could cry I've had so much pain it's my hole life he knows pain that's why he sings this so well he's right on the spot with this song u can have it all my empire of durt
Well if it’s any comfort Irina most people are very moved by this song and video. It’s a really remarkable work of art. Your reaction was wonderful and natural 👏
Thank you Kevin I appreciate that
He took this song which was already amazing and turned it into a goodbye that outshone the sun. Nobody is ever going to cover this song again knowing what they'd be compared with.
That was a sweet heartfelt reaction. Johnny Cash sang many songs about God and though he battled many sins in his life he believed the old saying that “Only one life, it will soon be passed, only what’s done for Christ will last.“
Thank you Chris
You’re welcome, and I pray God‘s best for you.
I appreciate your sincere and emotional reaction. My guess is that we all begin to take stock of our lives near the end and begin to see our actions over our lifetime more objectively. It is important for each of us to feel we have made a difference on others in a positive way; that our life had purpose and meaning. Johnny Cash was chasing his demons. I think the lesson of this video is that ultimately, we each will hold ourselves accountable for what we have done over a lifetime. No defensiveness, no doubletalk, just reality. There is no escape. We are ultimately accountable to ourself.
I have seen many reactions to this song. Yours really struck me as genuine and deep. I loved Johnny Cash as a child. It was so sad to see him go with so much regret..
Watched this video many times and never turned it off without a tearful reaction.
It was interesting to see how the song really got to you. Music can be powerful. When he closed the piano cover, it was almost like he was closing his own coffin. He lived a fascinating life and has lots of other songs worth reacting to. Picking out a light-hearted Johnny Cash song might be a good idea to balance this one out. A Boy Named Sue is a great light-hearted song.
Your tender heart is heartwarming...
Thank you for being a person who has so much empathy...
thank you so much
Johnny Cash is one of the few singers that can speak to multiple generations. This song’s lyrics are pretty deep. I know it’s not his original song but still. Sometimes we don’t appreciate the people around us enough. I definitely have taken your message to heart and made sure I tell my Close family how much I appreciate them. it’s alright to cry Irina, this year has definitely had its ups and downs hasn’t it? Hang in there Irina. ♥️
Thanks Shawn ❤️🥺
@@RussianReactionReviews Your very welcome Irina🙂 Sometimes in life you just have to have a little bit of faith and keep moving forward. You probably know that better than me. I’m sure Montana has helped you a lot this year. I know my dog has got me through some tough times.
Every verse was a dagger in this beautiful young lady’s heart 😢
it getting deep for me
This song always brings tears of sadness, but sometimes we need that.
Oh my God I love that you are so in touch with your feelings you were emotional you’re passionate besides being absolutely beautiful angel your channel you’re amazing
This is such a great reaction! Great job. It's amazing how music is truly a universal language. This song is so beautiful no matter where you're born. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for watching with me
This song is beautiful! RIP Johnny 🙏 on a side note you're beautiful. 😍
I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan, & I loved your reaction. Never be sorry for your tears my dear. Especially with this one. If you really want to have a better idea about this song, watch "Walk the Line". It's pretty accurate (embellishments are at a minimum) to Johnny's life. Would take some editing because of copyright, but makes this song so much deeper for his life.
Some background on this song though. The video was recorded in Feb 2003. June Carter Cash (in the video on the stairs) passed away in May 2003, shortly after this video's release. Johnny passed away in Sept 2003, this was his last recorded music video. While Trent Reznor wrote the song with heroin addiction for the lyrics ("the needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting"), Johnny had been an addict to (primarily) methamphetamines & alcohol.
Thank you for the background and for the kind words
I sang and played this song on my fathers funeral 2002.. me being 21 years old. This is so special
Your reaction to this song was beautiful your emotions really amplified the meaning of these words I can’t lie it made me very emotional as well watching with you. Keep up the great work and I hope that all is well for you 🙏
Thank you so much
For any song to touch your heart and soul is a rare experience....welcome to a special family.
I remember hearing this song when it first came out. I was in high school and it hit me unexpectedly 😪 great song!!
its beautiful
Cash was the absolute master of song craft story telling and emotion the world lost a great sage when he died
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. I didn't know of this song till a couple years ago, it's probably Johnny's best. Songs like this (and others such as "Comfortably Numb" or "Time") have more meaning the older you get. And if someone doesn't cry watching this, they probably don't have a heart or a soul.
Ty for watching with me.
Very touching song to watch
@@RussianReactionReviews my pleasure - thanks for bearing your soul, too. Just curious - do you know of the Russian group "Leonid & Friends" ? They are amazing, doing cover versions of songs by Chicago, Steely Dan, etc.
Hmm i don’t think so I will have to check them out
@@RussianReactionReviews great - and thanks for responding back! they toured near me a couple months ago (East Coast, US), but I was so busy that I couldn't go - try these two songs: th-cam.com/video/P_8aZZ9d_EA/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/HQdoD0R9d1w/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Charleston
You're amazing. Normally i with any other song I'd be taken by your beauty. But in this case your physical beauty, amazing as it is, is outshined by your your heart and sensitivity. Those are the things that make you awesome.
I have no one next to me I lost my wife to cancer in 2015 she fought for 9years and passed at 47
I am sorry for your loss. I know, sounds hollow.
I lost my dad recently, my mom a couple years before.
All I can say is keep up the fight.
We are all here for a reason, even if loved ones are not with us anymore.
Yeah my wig in 2015 my mom in 2016 and dad in 2018 ten days before my birthday
🙏🏻🤍🕊️✝️
Your emotions are what it is to be human, Johnny was saying goodbye to us all with this song. God bless him his wife June and his family.
Great reaction ; the only country singer I have any respect for . This song is sung the way I feel many times as a depression and suicide survivor , he sings it like his being is dying and that ability is talent
Beautiful Irina
It's incredibly deep and moving, especially from a man at the end of his life.
Beautiful reaction Irina, Johnny Cash is timeless, he can transcend his own genre. This song is awe inspiring to say the least. You’d love The Sound of Silence by Disturbed if you haven’t seen the TH-cam video already. It’s a song originally sung by Paul Simon. He completely nails it and goes beyond his genre, metal.
I see a few comments on here about it I will have to check it out
It's auto tuned bombastic bullshit.
A very resl song by a person that lived it. And you are beautiful when you cry means you have a heart, and a kind soul
Thank you Eddie
His daughter was heartbroken after this song, because she commented to her dad that "it sounded like you're saying goodbye, Daddy", to which he replied, "I was, baby."
He recorded this a few months after his wife, June, passed away, and 7 months before he himself passed away.
thats so heavy :(
God bless ya sweetie every time I watch ya you touch my heart! Seeing you cry makes me cry also. That tells me you have a big heart and a kind and beautiful way about you and this song touches me a little more than most. Thank you
Thank you so much for watching with me, thank you for the kind words
Johnny Cash was. A Great Country Music legend, one of the great songwriters of our generation, although this a cover of the Nine Inch Nails song. This was his last song just before he passed away. Your reaction was honest and real which makes this a very good video. Keep up the good work!!!😎👍👍👍
Thank you Paul
Lovely heartfelt response. You seem very honest and sweet. Thank you for sharing your emotions to a song/ video that cannot be ignored. Love, an incredibly handsome, married, man with two children from two other woman.
Such a beauty you are and your English is better than many who grew up speaking it. Cash, like many of his contemporaries, lived lives of drastic contradictions, first living wild and free and careless then maturing into elders of the views and wisdom that only comes living life. It’s not necessary to nearly destroy yourself to gain wisdom but it is necessary to age and pay attention as you age to do so.
I always say Trent Reznor was meant to write this song and Johnny Cash was meant to sing it. The original version by Nine Inch Nails is great.
This video is so powerful because this was his last one. His wife June was worried and came down to check on him. That was her in the video. She passed shortly after this video was made and he passed not long after.
Video was recorded in February of 2003. Then June died in May of 2003. Then Johnny died in September of 2003. One of their children asked him, is he saying goodbye in this song.
Johnny replied back, Yes.
Sometimes that happens to soulmates particular if they have been together most of their lives. When my Grandmother died in 98, my Grandfather died a month later. When my Auntie died at 75, her husband died 3 weeks later. Quite simply people can die from a broken heart, as some bereaved partner lose the will to live.
Mike + The Mechanics - The Living Years... Makes my cry rivers every time, its like im a child again i cant ever get through it.
I prefer the original "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails... It's awesome, but johnny cash covers it pretty well. 😉
*Agree, the original is much better.*
Johnny's voice sounds flat, you can tell he was about to croak soon.
I'm happy Trent showed some respect for his elders and allowed JC to cover it. Made JC relevant again on his way out the door; after being dormant for years.
Hi Gabe, I noticed in the comment section a lot of people keep asking me to check that version of it,, I will have to take a look at it.. thanks for watching with me
@@RussianReactionReviews my favorite song from nine inch nails is called "something i can never have" its not very popular, but i think ull love it 💞
never apologize for this reaction to any art form but especially this song and video. it is the reaction we should have when we see this. very few people were better at making us look in the mirror than Johnny Cash.
