To me, this is one song where the video really brings the song to life! Johnny picked a great farewell song for us all and something for us to think about..
I cried real tears the night I heard Johnny Cash died. I went to TH-cam and listened to a lot of his songs. Since I am in my 70's, somehow I felt that it was an end of an era. I remembered a different time in history, when things were so much more simple. Remembering my youth, the times we had and knowing they were going, going, gone. Losing an icon like Johnny Cash to me was almost like when I lost my father, I knew it was a new era and quite honestly, I don't really like this new world we live in.
This song was written by Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails. This is a cover but Trent said the song was now Johnny's. That is Johnny's wife, June Carter Cash, in the video with him.
If you want to know what Johnny Cash stood for he wrote a song called,""THE MAN IN BLACK,"" in which he tells you why he always"" ALWAYS only wore black. There was also a movie that was made called I WALK THE LINE and it is almost Exactly what Johnny Cash went through from a teenager on. It is almost more like a biography than it is a movie and so damn full of the truth of Johnny Cash. That's why the song, HURT get you in your feels. Hurt was made almost a year before he died. His wife June Carter Cash was actually pretty sick during this filming and she died just a month or two after this was made and he died either 7 or 8 months after she did. Their love for each other was what you would hope and pray that you would have. They never went out anywhere without each other. 😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ May God bless and keep you safe and healthy. Love your reaction take care of yourself.
This song is a gut punch. I have watched it at least 100 times including watching other people react to it. And it makes me cry each time. I think I read that he passed away within a year of doing this song
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.
@@setonhillstudios @dagmar.6954 has done a good job of providing the important context. I lost my mom when I was 9 years old, and JC (the man in black) was one of her favourite musicians, and has since been once of mine... every time I hear this it reminds me of her, and the poignancy of his performance (so close to his death) makes me cry... and now that I am in the end stages of a terminal ailment myself, I appreciate and relate to this in new and different ways as well, especially the rawness and sincerity of the emotions... best cover of all time, no question. To quote Virginia Wolf: "Literature does its best to maintain that its concern is with the mind; that the body is a sheet of plain glass through which the soul looks straight and clear... in illness this make-believe ceases [....] To look these things squarely in the face would need the courage of a lion tamer; a robust philosophy; a reason rooted in the bowels of the earth [....] There is, let us confess it (and illness is the great confessional), a childish outspokenness in illness; things are said, truths blurted out, which the cautious respectability of health conceals."
I'd think you probably heard it from nine inch nails but you barely recognize it here it's amazing the tone is changed and beat ❤ he makes it his own and it's beautiful.
Beautifully stated. Also, Trent Reznor, aka NIN, stated that, after watching this music video cover, it was Johnny's song now. It's one of the songs that Trent is emotionally invested in; and the way Johnny artistically and emotionally honored it blew Trent away.
It's amazing how Johnny Cash can cover a Nine Inch Nails song & without really changing any lyrics (except a swear word substitution) gives it a whole other meaning.
Such a powerful song because of him singing it! I have to check out the original to see that perspective as well. Thanks for watching and swinging by the channel!
There are some songs you just need to listen to uninterrupted. This song and Elvis Presley's cover of Unchained Melody live in Las Vegas are the two songs that really choke me up, and that's saying a lot
This makes me tear up every time I watch it. It’s also incredible that Johnny Cash was actually aware of a Nine Inch Nails song. Trent Reznor wrote it about drugs. Johnny was regretting his lifestyle and the photos show how, at the end of the day, his fame meant nothing. I remember when he became famous so recognize a lot of the videos and photos.
I sat in front of my TV watching and listening to him sing this. I cried because I knew he was saying goodbye to all of us. I knew he couldn't live without June. Them being together again gave me peace. Please listen to The Man In Black.
So @setonhillstudio, looking forward to a follow up on this reaction after you read the comments and hopefully, do some further research. As Trent said, "now Johnny's".
The whole song and video hits you like a train. Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) wrote this as a young man raging at the world. Johnny turned it around as a lament really, as an old man looking back over his years, trying to put triumph, torment, and loss into some sort of perspective. He knew his time here was now short. The very end where he closes the piano lid tells me that he knew and his mission on Earth was complete, all the good and the bad. From the fast cuts at the end that include Jesus and the cross he knew where he was going and could now be at peace finally. I'm 75 and frequently go through those reflective periods, and I can see the end of my runway from here. And like Johnny I know where I am going too. Thank you, my God, Lord, and King Jesus. Amen!
Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Chris Christofferson, and Willy Nelson formed a band called The Highwaymen. You should really check out each of them before the highwaymen, These were the last of the real outlaws of country music. Waylon especially went against Nashville, he refused to let studio musicians play on his studio recordings. He insisted his bad play everything.
great genuine reaction... "hurt" by johnny cash is the reflection of his own life. he struggled throughout his life with addiction to drugs and alcohol. the picture of the older lady is his mother. the lady standing behind him was his wife june. the song is about looking for forgiveness from those he hurt and realizing that life is not about collecting possessions but relationships and not taking them for granted.... complex visions of his crumbling museum, his childhood home, cracked dusty awards mixed family images and the crucifixion of Christ show a simple man searching for salvation as he is nearing death. the piano even appears to represent a coffin and he supposedly never opened it again after the last take. its one of the most powerful videos ever done and can bring the most ruthless of men to tears. his wife died shortly after the video and he died 8 months later... even the museum burnt down to the ground a few years later during a renovation project... i watch it anytime i feel i am taking life for granted 😎
Wow! Really appreciate all the information and insight! Definitely a very emotional tune but also thought provoking as you stated! Thanks for watching!
Mr Cash RIP died within 6 months of his wife June Carter. Although he covered this song before she died. Mr Cash had his troubles with drugs. June Carter was the one responsible for him staying straight. She was also a country and gospel singer. He had a 2 year run variety show. In part due to politics. And not just his own or country songs but performing with artists of all genre. I find it amazing he was still keeping up with new music enough to discover this song from Nine Inch Nails whom I had never heard of. And it is a tearjerker. Him closing the keyboard on the piano was like closing the final chapter of his life.😢 🚜🤠🐂
In March 1935, when Cash was three years old, the family settled in Dyess, Arkansas, Cash's early memories were dominated by gospel music and radio. Taught guitar by his mother and a childhood friend, Cash began playing and writing songs at the age of 12. When young, Cash had a high-tenor voice, before becoming a bass-baritone after his voice changed. a New Deal colony established during the Great Depression under the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It intended to allow poor families to work the land they might later own. From the age of five, Cash worked in cotton fields with his family, singing with them as they worked. Dyess and the Cash farm suffered a flood during his childhood. Later he wrote the song "Five Feet High and Rising". His family's economic and personal struggles during the Great Depression gave him a lifelong sympathy for the poor and working class and inspired many of his songs. A few of Johnny's accomplishments for those who don't know him well.. He did so much more than these few things...Cash received multiple Country Music Association Awards, Grammys, and other awards, in categories ranging from vocal and spoken performances to album notes and videos. In a career that spanned almost five decades, Cash was the personification of country music to many people worldwide. Cash was a musician who was not defined by a single genre. He recorded songs that could be considered rock and roll, blues, rockabilly, folk, and gospel, and exerted an influence on each of those genres. His diversity was evidenced by his presence in five major music halls of fame: the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame (1977), the Country Music Hall of Fame (1980), the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1992), GMA's Gospel Music Hall of Fame (2010). and the Memphis Music Hall of Fame (2013). Marking his death in 2003, Rolling Stone stated other than Elvis Presley Cash was the only artist inducted as a performer into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His contributions to the genre have been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Cash received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1996 and stated that his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980 was his greatest professional achievement. In 2001, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts. "Hurt" was nominated for six VMAs at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. The only VMA the video won was that for Best Cinematography. With the video, Johnny Cash became the oldest artist ever nominated for an MTV Video Music Award. Justin Timberlake, who won Best Video that year for "Cry Me a River", said in his acceptance speech: "This is a travesty! I demand a recount. My grandfather raised me on Johnny Cash, and I think he deserves this more than any of us in here tonight. Johnny had and did good and bad, just like the rest of us,,,,,, Only he did it all with passion..!!!
The shock of seeing this for the first time has faded for me, but the gut punch doesn't change with more views - especially the timed hammer strikes to Jesus' hands and feet. And knowing his wife and he passing the year this was filmed just brings it to an even deeper level. RIP Johnny and June
I would recommend watching " Walk the line " it's a great depiction of Johnny Cash's life. The actors are incredible.. Johnny Cash did have a drug problem when he was younger.. thank you for the reaction !!
Thanks so much Milton! Such a great song that gives the listener so much perspective and reflection! Loved it! Thanks for watching and hope all is well!
When Trent Rezner wrote this song he was going through a rough time in his life, depression and anxiety and he was I believe in his twenties when he laid it on paper. Two totally different points of view. One from a young man with the trials he was going through and then Johnny at the end of his life and looking back over everything. He would give it all up because he loses everyone in the end.
"Hurt" is a song by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails in the mid-1990s about drug addiction. It was recorded in 2002 shortly before his wife and he died. In 1994 Rick Rubin persuaded Cash to do a solo album and that stripped back album was the first of four or five albums that revitalised his recording career. Weirdly there were a lot of post-punk British musicians who liked Cash's music and so I encountered it perhaps more than you did. Hurt, in the Uk at least, was widely played and I remember seeing the video.
Everyone feels this song. Thank you for choosing to share it and your reaction.⬅ There is an accompanying "making of" video for this. Look up TH-cam for "Johnny Cash - Hurt Behind the Scenes" on MrFabioDiamante's channel.
It was not till the 3rd offer he excepted to do the song.Johnny did suffer with drug and alcohol all his life at the time he made this he was back on the pills. He sings it out of all the hurt he put on his family and the regret over the years.He list his house in a flood and either moved or rebuilt they show pictures of this.
That was the last thing he ever did!! His wife is in the video and she died before this was released. It was wrote by lead singer of Nine Inch Nails Trent Resnor but when he heard it he said Johnny owned the song!!
I feel so much from this song. So much hurt, so many addictions, so many mistakes. I've never been rich though. I am sure a lot of people are in the same position. It's a tough place to be.
Listen very closely to the lyrics in this song 'Far Side Banks Of Jordan' - Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash especially when June sings But if it proves to be his will that I am first to go And somehow I've a feelin' it will be When it comes your time to travel likewise, don't feel lost For I will be the first one that you'll see! th-cam.com/video/YpM9nZwNJlo/w-d-xo.html
One piece of trivia that I rarely see mentioned is that, while drug addiction isn't the _focus_ of Cash's version like it was Reznor's, Cash was 100% sympathetic to the original, as he also watched his life fall apart due to drug addiction, costing him his first marriage. June, his second wife, whom he stayed with the rest of their lives and whom you see in the video, helped him get clean and he spent the rest of his life believing she was the best person in the entire world.
June Carter Cash died 12 months after this song was released and Johnny Cash died 6 months later, listen this to Johnny Cash - Meet Me In Heaven th-cam.com/video/uNKGTEK0V6E/w-d-xo.html
Johnny and June both had a strong relationship with Jesus Christ...he had a bad pill addiction earlier..hurt those around him..June helped him.....and she died before they finished this..HS died 4 months later...his daughter said dad it sounds like your saying good bye! He said well sweetheart Iam....🎆

His daughters heard this and said "Daddy this feels like your saying goodbye " he said " i am "

Yea brother, in the end its all an empire of dirt. Your family and loved ones in your life are all that matter.
For another powerful tune by Johnny, (in a different way), check out 'Man in Black'.
Johnny was only 71 when he died, he looked so much older. I’m 78 and still look better than he did at 71. I guess I’m just lucky.
I cried real tears the night I heard Johnny Cash died. I went to TH-cam and listened to a lot of his songs.

Also a picture of his mother on the wall...
Probably the greatest ever cover of a song. It gave the lyrics so much more gravity
💯 Phenomenal!!! ❤️
I don't know, I think "The Sound of Silence" cover by disturbed would be at least a tie for first with this song.
If you want to know what Johnny Cash stood for he wrote a song called,""THE MAN IN BLACK,"" in which he tells you why he always"" ALWAYS only wore black.

When Johnny Cash closes that piano lid. He was telling us fans goodbye. 1st time l saw this video, all l kept saying was "WOW."

The older one gets, the more this song resonates because it is truthful, even if one did not do drugs which is what Trent Rezner was writing about.

"Hurt" is a song by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails
in the mid-1990s about drug addiction.
It was recorded in 2002 shortly before his wife and he died.
In 1994 Rick Rubin persuaded Cash to do a solo album
and that stripped back album was the first of four or five albums
that revitalised his recording career.
Weirdly there were a lot of post-punk British musicians who liked
Cash's music and so I encountered it perhaps more than you did.
Hurt, in the Uk at least, was widely played and I remember seeing the video.
Oh wow, I had no idea!

It’s so good!

May 15, 2003 is when June Carter Cash died and Johnny died September 12, 2003
That was the last thing he ever did!! His wife is in the video and she died before this was released. It was wrote by lead singer of Nine Inch Nails Trent Resnor but when he heard it he said Johnny owned the song!!
Wow! Such a gut punch but an amazing song too!

Such an emotional tune that is so authentic and from the heart! Loved it!
Listen very closely to the lyrics in this song 'Far Side Banks Of Jordan' - Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash especially when June sings But if it proves to be his will that I am first to go
And somehow I've a feelin' it will be When it comes your time to travel likewise, don't feel lost For I will be the first one that you'll see! th-cam.com/video/YpM9nZwNJlo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much for the insight and swinging by! Have a great one!
Also when Trent saw this he said this is Johnny's song now.....
Johnny Cash passed away 5 months after this song and Johnny's wife June Carter Cash passed 3 months before Johnny!
One piece of trivia that I rarely see mentioned is that, while drug addiction isn't the _focus_ of Cash's version like it was Reznor's, Cash was 100% sympathetic to the original, as he also watched his life fall apart due to drug addiction, costing him his first marriage. June, his second wife, whom he stayed with the rest of their lives and whom you see in the video, helped him get clean and he spent the rest of his life believing she was the best person in the entire world.
Wow! Such a full circle moment and the raw emotion of this song was truly felt by Cash! Absolutely loved it and thanks for the insight!
Quite the opposite end of the feel spectrum from Dinner with Rush yesterday
Definitely!
This was from 9inch nails and Johnny passed away a few months after this video
June Carter Cash died 12 months after this song was released and Johnny Cash died 6 months later, listen this to Johnny Cash - Meet Me In Heaven th-cam.com/video/uNKGTEK0V6E/w-d-xo.html
Wow! So sad! 😞 Thanks for the link…gotta check it out
The song was written by Nine Inch Nails' frontman Trent Reznor
You should do some Stevie Ray Vaughan !!!!!!! You'll not regret it one bit😎
We’ve got a few Stevie Ray videos up on the channel! They’re in the All About Guitars playlist!
Johnny and June both had a strong relationship with Jesus Christ...he had a bad pill addiction earlier..hurt those around him..June helped him.....and she died before they finished this..HS died 4 months later...his daughter said dad it sounds like your saying good bye! He said well sweetheart Iam....🎆
Randy Travis 3 wooden crosses
