  • Before today I had never heard a Johnny Cash song. I know this is a cover to the Nine Inch Nails song and I made sure to listen to that last night on my own so that I could get a better understanding of Johnny Cash's cover today but man... Johnny Cash sure knew how to pull at my heart strings in this one.
    Hurt is one of those songs that I won't be able to listen to all the time due to how emotional it is but It is a song I will never forget!
    Here is my reaction to hearing Johnny Cash - Hurt for the first time. I hope you enjoy it!

    A rare example of a cover being even better than the original. With everything Johnny had gone through in his life, his drug problems, and the family members he'd lost, the song suited him so well but took on a slightly new meaning. It's still about regret and mourning the effects of choices he'd taken, but it's also an old man looking back on his life as its end draws near, dwelling on the pain he'd both felt and caused. It's a goodbye and an apology for being flawed.
    But...we all are, so it resonates. It could be a song sung by any of us.

      I'm old enough to feel this song in my bones. Like Johhny, I was a wild assed cuss, always fighting and going to jail. I chased the drugs till they started chasing me. Drank liquor till my liver rolled over and played dead for a while. I deserve the aches and pains, I sure invested in them.
      When you get close enough to almost see the finish line, your worries aren't for yourself. You worry about the one person you want to shield from any pain. And the pain of who will go, and who will stay looms larger in your thoughts with each passing of another old friend.
      Getting old is about finding strengths you never knew you had. The strength to put your feet on the floor every morning, and face another day. It's facing another doctor young enough to be a grandson. The tenacity to see another bedtime. Each day a victory against the parting glass.

      So many look at "old people" & just see an old person, they think nothing of the life they've lived, as people age they are left with their memories of when they were younger. When you are young you live for the moment & don't think about getting old but one day you find yourself there. We are all young, we all get old, you can't escape it so live life to the fullest while you can. Everybody has a life story, don't waste it. There is loads of Johnny Cash to explore.

You could probably listen to 25 of his songs and just scratch the surface. "Walk the Line," "Ring of Fire," "Jackson" with his wife, June Carter Cash (who was in this video), "Cocaine Blues," "Folsom Prison Blues," "A Boy named Sue"... so many good songs. The biopic "Walk the Line" is a good movie that tells part of the Johnny Cash story. Enjoy the Journey.

    Johnny was a true pioneer of real Rock & Roll music starting out at the same time as Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis. Even though he is primarily associated with country music, he has been influential to countless performers from every genre of music. He had his demons with drugs and substance abuse which almost killed him on more a few occasions. But because of help from his second wife, June Carter Cash, and faith in God he got clean, but still struggled the rest of his life. So this song was perfect for him to cover, making it his own.

    Johnny Cash had a career that expanded over 60 years. He is a rabbit hole that would take you at least a year. This was the last song Johnny sang before? He died a few months later just after his wife of 60+ years June Carter, who was filmed at the staircase, had died. Johnny had been to prison, at one time was an addict, he is singing from the perspective of an old man, looking back upon his life from his real museum, his birth home that was taken away in a flood, those of us who have followed Johnny Cash and his career. I’m 80 years old, cried so deeply after he performed the song. Watching his elderly hands at the end/the piano lid reminded us of how we would touch, a loved ones casket. This was Johnny Cash saying goodbye.

    When the video was filmed in February 2003, Cash was 71 years old and 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.

      When you're young, you race forward to the next new thing, the next experience, never realizing that every choice you make counts one way or the other. It's only when you
      look back that you see the tapestry you wove, the design you lived whether you planned it or not. What I find sweeter is that the trivial falls away and only those things you
      find really soul-satisfying remain. "Empire of dirt" Good description. The older I get, the more I get rid of stuff.

    The NIN version is about a young music artist dealing with addiction feeling he has no future, the JC version is about an old music legend reflecting on his past in spite of his addiction, and both of them saying even though it was hell to live they would do it all over again for both good and bad reasons. It really comes full circle because Trent can identify with Johnny and Johnny recognized some of himself in Trent. Truly a bitter sweet moment in music history.

    As we get old we do become a collector of memories, our successes and our mistakes, our pride and our losses. We slowly start to reminisce more than make plans. The difficult part is accepting that we cannot change the past, we cannot start over again, and just have to make our peace with what has been and hope it is enough.

    This one hits all of us in the gut. Johnny Cash was one of the first cross-over country artists who stayed humble. He struggled with pills early in his career. You are seeing flashes of his career over decades in this video. He played with artists of all colors, which was not done back in his younger days. Each artist sort of stayed in their own lanes but Johnny broke the rules. You should find his 'why I wear the black' that he played before a college crowd. Powerful. Excellent reaction.

    Everyone understands regret.
    Seeing a man’s entire life flash across the screen in 3 minutes as he sings about wishing he could have another try… it hits us all in a place we don’t like to visit.
    This is a man who lost himself somewhere along the way, and despite all his fame and fortune, reaches the end of his journey with regret, painful memories of mistakes that will continue to haunt him until his final day.
    What do you regret? What WILL you regret? When your journey reaches its conclusion, will you have lived the life you wanted, or betrayed yourself in pursuit of an empire of dirt?

    He was well aware that this was it.
    The song is about regrets and life, but the event of watching and listening to this song is
    saying, "Goodbye".
    Being able to say goodbye is a gift.
    You never know the last time you may see a friend, family, a woman you love.
    Knowing one is saying goodbye is one of the worst heartaches there is.
    Losing someone and not being able to IS the worst.
    In the last seconds of this song, as he closes the piano, I feel he is closing it for the last time, knowing he will never open it again.
    As a old musician and someone to whom there is no life without music, it rips my heart out every time.
    Tears? Are you kidding me?
    Every. Single. Effing. Time.

    Cash is a rabbit hole worth going down. Although he is most known as a country artist (my mom was a huge fan), when I started researching Johnny Cash I was stunned to find out that he was [art of the early stable of singer/songwriters that came out of Sun Studios (Cash/Carl Perkins/Roy Orbison/Jerry Lee Lewis and most famously Elvis Presley). Johnny Cash's music and life are a primer on the history and development of the early days of rock and roll. An incredible story.

    One of the greatest covers ever. Johnny Cash had addiction and arrest issues. He never served hard time, but did record a live album while performing in front of an audience of prison inmates and guards. He was an activist for prison reform, testifying before Congress and 6 US presidents. He was a champion for redemption.

    When Trent Reznor wrote this song, he was singing it from a different place. It was dark and brooding.
    And then comes JR Cash. Similar reasons, but it was as though he was singing his eulogy. He knew his time was short, and this was the song to be remembered for all time.
    The end of this video always hits me pretty hard. When he closes the lid on the piano and wipes it down, it's as if to say "Goodbye". There will never be another Johnny Cash.
    The love and hurt that June Carter had in her eyes is a love we all want. She tragically passed shortly after the video was made, and he passed not too much later.
    "When Reznor was asked if Cash could record a rendition of the NIN song, the rock frontman noted he was flattered but wondered if the song might come across as too “gimmicky.” But the music video and Cash’s recording assuaged his worries.
    Said Reznor, “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.”
