Have you ever heard the phrase "love like Johnny and June" his wife June Carter Cash passed away and he soon passed as well basically of a broken heart. He had fought health problems for years but without her, he gave up
The concept is well-known in health circles. In the case of death in older hetero couples that have a traditional lifestyle. If the woman dies first the man will die shortly after while if the man dies first the woman will often live for a long time. This is all in addition to the sadness of losing someone you have known and cared for for a long time.. The reason is far more pragmatic than romantic. The man has little in the way of practical skills, he's often unable to cook, do laundry, etc. Being able to lift heavy things has few applications in everyday life, cooking, cleaning, and laundry do. Because he has few practical skills his physical health will trend downward as he's eating and living worse, in addition, the toll on his mental health will accelerate this decline. Because she has all the practical skills she can maintain her way of life as her age and physical state allow for. For her, the toll on her mental health is just a period that she'll hopefully be able to get through.
@@nielsjensen4185 I don't think it's just pragmatic and it certainly wasn't in this case. It's not like June Carter Cash was any kind of "period correct" housewife in the first place. She was a star in her own right and spent a lot of her time on the road as well. Cash could afford and had a full staff of people to take care of him before and after she passed. He just lost his most important reason to stick around. There are statistics to prove this point though. Among men of this age they often pass shortly after their wife and that's not the case when the roles are reversed.
@@laupstad No, it's a literal phenomenon. In older, straight couples if the wife dies first the husband will, depending on how traditional their lifestyle was, have no skills in cooking, laundry, or anything other skill that involves daily living and unless he at some point lived alone a woman has always done those things for him and he has to learn them late in life. They also rarely if ever go to the doctor because they prefer to "ignore the pain like real men" and there's no sensible woman to push them to the doctor. As a result, the quality of life of the man plummets and he dies shortly after her due to a combination of missing her and an inability to live alone. This is almost never seen in older queer couples since they have a much more equal distribution of activities. Both shop, both do laundry, and both cook, they just take turns. Cash was also fatal. No amount of help, aid, or medical services could ever have saved him. He knew already then that he was going to die soon and that was months before June died.
As I understand it, Cash was one of Reznor's heroes, and he considered it an honor to let his hero do his song. Well, it's one thing to be 20 something and trying to repair your life. It's another to be 80 and unable to do a dang thing. Reznor was right when he said, "It's not my song any more."
Rockers need to check out the NIN version. Then the Cash version becomes more emotional. Rick Rubin asked him to try it. Cash thought it was too dark and scary. Then they demoed it for him and he realized how much related to it and how he'd perform it. Trent and Cash both geniuses. It's such an emotional song because it was so personal even Trent was freaked out to hear Cash sing it. Said it was like seeing someone kissing your girlfriend. But then the flattery kicked in and he realized it's a different song in Cash's voice. Trent's was more about suicide and drugs. Cash's is more about the end of a life's journey. So its just so deep. And no one ever did deep better than Johnny Cash.
I did read that about it too. NIN version was very in-the-moment personal, while Cash's was reflecting on the past and what he'd survived. Both of them dealt with drug use and I think it was only when he read the lyrics that Cash decided to do the song. Both are their own beast and both are great in their own way, but Cash's version really resonates with a lot more people, I think.
To me the Johnny Cash remake is powerful but heartbreaking. He had success and riches, but they were overshadowed by so much guilt and regret. And he knew he was nearing the end of his life and couldn’t change any of it. It’s a tragic goodbye. I still love the NIN version. It hits you on a different emotional level. You can feel the pain in both, but thankfully Trent was able to make changes in his life.
As I see it the NiN version is about a young man who currently can see no way forward in life due to his decisions. Johnny Cash's version is about an old man who with the benefit of hindsight can see that many of the decisions he took while he was happy with them at the time ultimately led his lived life to become of little value in the end and now he's feeling the consequences.
9 nich nails wrote this song “Hurt” is a compelling testament to the ongoing power of music. Originally written by Trent Reznor and released by Nine Inch Nails on the 1994 album Downward Spiral, the song was brilliantly reimagined by Johnny Cash and producer Rick Rubin (Def Jam records, etc.)
Thank God somebody said it I've seen so many people react to this thinking Jonny cash wrote I I love Jonny cash and I love that Trent said its his song now but do some research if you're going to do a reaction
@@user-yu7ku5sk2q - WTH are you two on about? "So many people" seem to comment without even watching the video... All you needed to do was watch until 6:50 (the first min of the song) to hear B.P. stop the video and literally make the point that this was indeed a N.I.N. song as he even included the fact the Reznor wrote it. No research needed. The funny part is that if this had been a reaction to something like Ren's Jenny and Screech trilogy, people would SH%T themselves if he had done "research" and ruined the bombshell ending for himself. Reactions are "first time listens"... Learn the details (or read them in the comments) later if something was missed.
Great reaction. One thing most reactors miss in my opinion is the very last few moments of the video. The moment when he closes the cover on the keys of the piano. That in itself is a powerful statement summarizing the lyrics and his life by saying without words, "It's over". Thanks for the great reaction.
Nobody will ever be as high as Johnny Cash sitting under a tree eating a birthday cake 😅 r.i.p to a legend.. I also appreciate jelly roll going out and kind of being with the new Johnny Cash and putting on a concert at a prison
What Trent said about Johnny is basically the same thing that Bob Dylan said about Jimi Hendrix when he first heard "All Along the Watchtower." "He can record any song of mine he wants to," basically.
When his daughter heard this she told him it soubded like he was saying goodby and he said "I am". At the time I think he meant more that it would be his last album before retiring completely. Unfortunately it really did become his goodbye to everyone. His wife June died 3 months after they filmed this. Johnny followed her 4 months later.
Folsom Prison Blues is most definitely worth listening to; he actually performed it live at San Quentin. Johnny Cash was an amazing man, and honestly there are just so many from him that are must listens. His life is such an interesting story, so if you ever have the time or inclination, look it up.
Dude I tear up every time in this video when I see June standing looking at Johnny on the steps in this video knowing Johnny died 4 months after she did.
Frank Sinatra didn't write "My Way" or any of his songs. But he owned it, just like Johnny Cash didn't write this song, but he owned it. Another case of this would be Prince's song "Nothing Compares 2 U" ... even a Prince song can be owned by another artist, which is what Sinéad O'Connor did when she sang it - she owned it. GREAT REACTION GUYS!
Best ever episode of Columbo is when Johnny Cash is the preacher lady's boyfriend who ends up murdering her and ends up getting pestered by Colombo one of the scenes in the videos from that
I'm going to propose a musical trifecta - "God Will Cut You Down". This is a very old American Folk song, everyone has recorded their own cover, it seems. But there are three notable versions. Odetta Holmes - An American Blues/Jazz singer popular in the 50s and 60s, called the "Voice of the Civil Rights Movement". Her version was outstanding, but very minimalistic. Johnny Cash - He covered it a few years after Odetta, and his version is often regarded as the definitive version. The instrumentation he added made it incredible. Many mistakenly believe this is a Cash original, he brought the song to people in a very different demographic who had never heard it before. Marylin Manson - I don't care what anyone says, despite the shocking persona and heavy sound to some of his more popular music, he is perhaps the most talented Blues artist of our generation. Yes, you read that right, "Blues", lol. People are skeptical of that, which is fair, but if you aren't familiar with his catalogue, it would be easily missed, as those aren't the songs he's generally known for. But when he goes for Blues sound, holy shit... It's the same song, a classic, but in three wildly different styles, spanning about 60 years of music. The meaning seems to transform with each of them. It's a fairly short song, so if you want a reaction video, run those back to back, people's minds will be blown.
Love your content. A small correction: Frank Sinatra didn´t actually write "My Way". Paul Anka wrote the lyrics especially for Frank Sinatra. The original song is french "Comme d'habitude"
You have to talk about Rick Rubin in the context of this song. It was he who convinced JC that he must cover 'Hurt'. It was his idea to make one more record to Johnny Cash, and they did it. JC did not want a new record then.
Well that worked out well. I'm pretty sure God had a hand in that coordination. The Big Guy has been known to move the needles. It looks so perfect. It feels so perfect. 🙄😇💫🌌😊
Trent Reznor sang the song from the standpoint of a young man who thought his life was finished. Johnny sang it as an old and frail man who _knew_ it was.
Trent says he does and Bruce Willis says Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie. They are both wrong lol. Says me. I love Cash and his version but Trent’s versions are still my favorite.
Reznor is showing respect. But nobody will ever convince me that Cash's shaky voice version is "better" than the screaming passion Trent put into his original creation. @@AdamBazille
It's like watching a father trying to teach a son who just doesn't get it. Don't give up BP. You're doing God's work. The Fairy Voice Mother does a very emotional reaction to this song.
Andiroo is my favorite guest by far. So young, but so insightful. Makes me think my kids might actually have a good future. We'll see, but I'm hopeful.
It amazes how ppl experience this with different perspectives. The most impactful music video I have ever experienced..., and I wasn't even a huge Cash fan until viewing this vid. Have u done "When The Man Comes Around". Now a Sub, thanks for sharing Pegasus.
The NIN version is just as passionate. The song is from 1994. It's coming from a completely different place, a young man stuck in addiction and regret. But that's the beauty of the lyrics, because Johnny's version brings you to the end of a life, with past addiction and regret . they both mean something.
Another moving 'last song' would be Lazarus by David Bowie. He was aware of his limited time, and saw his last album, Blackstar, as his epitaph. It was released 2 days before he passed.
Something that don’t get mentioned really is how much powerful Johnny can make something with just a simple guitar and piano. I could be wrong but pretty much think that all he used in this version. This is why Johnny regraded as one of the greatest he didn’t need a lot to tell a story and move people.
"Hurt" is a song by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails from its second studio album, The Downward Spiral (1994), written by Trent Reznor. It was released on April 17, 1995, as a promotional single from the album. This is a cover. Reznor heard it and said that it wasnt his song anymore. It was Johnny Cash's now.
You have me wondering what you would think of Canadian Legend Leonard Cohen’s album You Want It Darker which was released shortly after his death. It was his goodbye album.
Johnny Cash's rendition of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails has a similar effect to Disturb's Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel Both versions of each song are good but the differing versions bring out different themes to the song, evoke different emotions.
One song can open a can of worms. LOL. You mentioned "My Way". That song was actually French song "Comme d'habitude" composed by Jacques Revaux with lyrics by Gilles Thibaut and Claude François. The English lyrics of the song were written by Paul Anka and are unrelated to the original French song. Sinatra asked Paul to write him a song while having dinner. "We went to dinner and he told me that he was retiring". He finished 'My Way' in five hours.
I hurt myself today to see if I still feel. I hit myself in the thumb with a hammer the other day. It hurt like crazy I just thought to myself I am alive.
First time I heard this song it was the opening music played over the intro scenes of Person of Interest (S3 E9) and it hit me in the feels hard enough it made it into my top 100
Another great reaction guys. You wanna hear a song where the artist most definitely knew he was going to die soon, and exactly how, listen to the acoustic version of Pool Shark by Bradley Nowell on the album Sublime Acoustic: Bradley Nowell & Friends.
Can you imagine the weight on a persons shoulder, of being a legend while you live and breath🤔 and knowing folks will still know of you many many years after your death
I hope you're ok. I'm 55 times can be challenging but the tough times will pass and things will get better, step by step they will improve, hang in there. Best wishes from Ireland.
Check out Producer Rick Ruben's stories about helping and coaching Johnny through the times of June's death and Johnny's diabetic disease and blindness which Cash would eventually succumb to. "My Way" was a French tune that Paul Anka wrote the english lyrics and was covered by many artists including Elvis Presley and Sid Vicious (The Sex Pistols).
I think it hits harder when you have lost people and almost yourself. Almost everyone in my life has died from drug addiction/ODs. I nearly lost myself countless times but somehow survived and the guilt threw me back in the cycle of just hoping every time would be the last time. That I’d fade blissfully into nothingness and the pain would finally end. I have 4 years clean and it’s still a daily struggle. I just want to let others know that it’s not impossible even though it seems that way. ❤
You need to react to some of the performances by the supergroup The Highwaymen (consisting of Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson). I would suggest the following songs: The Highwayman, City of New Orleans, Silver Stallion, Me and Bobby McGee, Sunday Morning Coming Down, Desperadoes Waiting for a Train, The Last Cowboy Song, Loving Her Was Easier Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again, Big River, A Boy Named Sue, Folsom Prison Blues, and Riders in the Sky.
Speaking of original version. Well Reznor sings about his own problems in life and Cash about his. I think it is a beauty of masterpiece that everyone can use same lyrics yet put so many different senses to it.
Just throwing this out there you should check out avenged sevenfolds, fiction of the album nightmare. The drummer wrote and sang on the song. They were in the studio recording the album when the drummer the Rev sadly passed away. The song speaks for itself
This is such a great song! You should do the original version by Nine Inch Nails too. They are very different songs, even though they have the same lyrics. Johnny Cash's version is an older man coming toward the end of his life, singing about regret. Trent Reznor's version is a young man struggling with depression and addiction. I would do a live version. Trent closes every show with this song.
Yeah, I loved the original NIN version when it came out, but Johnny Cash took it to a whole other level in his cover. Let's be honest, the coolest aspect is that Cash in his old age was still listening to contemporary music in wildly different genres. That's a true musician. So many get stuck in their own sound and style, especially as they get older. It's very common for younger musicians to cover the music of the older generation, as that's what they grew up with, but you very rarely see the reverse. Cash was 70 years old when this was recorded. How many 70 year olds would consider industrial metal as anything other than noise, even now, 22 years later? But Cash was always well ahead of his time.
@@Arkryal I agree that it's awesome he was listening to current music. His cover of Rusty Cage by Soundgarden is great too. I think his cover of Hurt is amazing, but it's a whole different vibe/mood/perspective, so I think which version you prefer depends on your own frame of reference and perspective, as well as style preferences.
Oh, NiN covers Johnny Cash's Hurt? Just kidding - both versions definitely have a totally different vibe and take to them. I heard Trent's version way before Johnny covered it. But I do agree with Trent, Johnny just somehow took ownership of the song. From what I read at the time, Trent was very against it until he heard it.
@@JohnSheehan72 Haha! He didn't like it until he saw the video. There is a youtube video with him talking about it in an interview. I can't post the link here, but if you search, it's called "Trent Reznor says he "dismissed" Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt the first time he heard it" I think both versions are amazing.
The singers sometimes write the song they are singing. But neither Johnny Cash on Hurt nor Frank Sinatra on My Way had a part in writing the song. They made it sound like they did.
I would love for you to react to Johnny Cash perform “Gods Gonna Cut You Down”. You’ll love the beat. It was released after Johnnys passing, so his video contains some “guest appearances”.
This was his goodbye a reflection of his life I was only a few years old when Cash passed away but I listened to his music heavily growing up and still do as a 25 year old.
Enjoyed your reaction! Frank Sinatra didn't write My Way either. I don't think he was even the first to record it. But, like Johnny Cash and Hurt, My Way became Sinatra's song after he recorded it! ✌❤

Have you ever heard the phrase "love like Johnny and June" his wife June Carter Cash passed away and he soon passed as well basically of a broken heart. He had fought health problems for years but without her, he gave up
June, with an assist from her Mother Maybelle and Jesus, saved his life.
Yes it was only a few months between their passing.
The concept is well-known in health circles. In the case of death in older hetero couples that have a traditional lifestyle. If the woman dies first the man will die shortly after while if the man dies first the woman will often live for a long time.
This is all in addition to the sadness of losing someone you have known and cared for for a long time..
The reason is far more pragmatic than romantic. The man has little in the way of practical skills, he's often unable to cook, do laundry, etc. Being able to lift heavy things has few applications in everyday life, cooking, cleaning, and laundry do.
Because he has few practical skills his physical health will trend downward as he's eating and living worse, in addition, the toll on his mental health will accelerate this decline.
Because she has all the practical skills she can maintain her way of life as her age and physical state allow for. For her, the toll on her mental health is just a period that she'll hopefully be able to get through.
@@nielsjensen4185 I don't think it's just pragmatic and it certainly wasn't in this case. It's not like June Carter Cash was any kind of "period correct" housewife in the first place. She was a star in her own right and spent a lot of her time on the road as well. Cash could afford and had a full staff of people to take care of him before and after she passed. He just lost his most important reason to stick around.
There are statistics to prove this point though. Among men of this age they often pass shortly after their wife and that's not the case when the roles are reversed.

The way closes his piano, like a coffin. Chills. Another great reaction. I like this kid. My son was born in 2000 as well. It's so convenient. 40!
I can recall my grandfather doing that motion over keyboards.... it makes this hit hard for me.
As I understand it, Cash was one of Reznor's heroes, and he considered it an honor to let his hero do his song. Well, it's one thing to be 20 something and trying to repair your life. It's another to be 80 and unable to do a dang thing. Reznor was right when he said, "It's not my song any more."
June Carter his wife passed while the album was in post production and he past just a few month later making it even more incredible.

You need to checkout Sunday Morning Coming Down. It’s a definitive song of Johnny’s recorded during the drug years and written by Kris Kristofferson.

Love your content. A small correction: Frank Sinatra didn´t actually write "My Way". Paul Anka wrote the lyrics especially for Frank Sinatra. The original song is french "Comme d'habitude"
The original song

You have to talk about Rick Rubin in the context of this song. It was he who convinced JC that he must cover 'Hurt'. It was his idea to make one more record to Johnny Cash, and they did it. JC did not want a new record then.

Yes props to Rick Rubin
Happy Happy 24th Birthday 🎊🎂
You are a MAN! MUCH RESPECT.
Paul Anka wrote “My Way” and Frank made it famous. Elvis sang it too, I believe. Johnny Cash sings with such feeling. 😢
Jacques Revaux and Gilles Thibault wrote the original song that Paul Anka based "My Way" on.
This reaction from both of you guys is... brilliant, hopeful and inspiring! BRAVO!!&!
Trent Reznor sang the song from the standpoint of a young man who thought his life was finished. Johnny sang it as an old and frail man who _knew_ it was.

This is a masterpiece. I tear up every time I listen to it
👍👍
Young man knows his shit! Good review guys
Something that don’t get mentioned really is how much powerful Johnny can make something with just a simple guitar and piano. I could be wrong but pretty much think that all he used in this version. This is why Johnny regraded as one of the greatest he didn’t need a lot to tell a story and move people.
Andy is so cute. Do yourself a favor and go rock with him. Cute boy, interesting young man. Peace. 👍👍👍
A song worth watching is Gary Numan - My name Is Ruin (live at Brixton academy) a new rabbit hole for you ;)
Johnny did have an addiction in his life! His wife June stuck by him through all of it!
"Hurt" is a song by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails from its second studio album, The Downward Spiral (1994), written by Trent Reznor. It was released on April 17, 1995, as a promotional single from the album.
This is a cover. Reznor heard it and said that it wasnt his song anymore. It was Johnny Cash's now.
Like how one of your earlier reaction videos to Hurt is one of the videos being displayed as a suggestion. 😉
Andy is by far my favorite guest on here. I love young people with old souls
Immediately after you recognized, Trent Reznor wrote the song you both talked about how Johnny Cash wrote it right before he died 😂
I like "The man in black." I have worn black for years.
I only wear black.
Ok... i am digging this kid. Smart and great references
Great reaction guys.
You have me wondering what you would think of Canadian Legend Leonard Cohen’s album You Want It Darker which was released shortly after his death. It was his goodbye album.
Johnny Cash's rendition of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails has a similar effect to Disturb's Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel
Both versions of each song are good but the differing versions bring out different themes to the song, evoke different emotions.
One of the best covers ever. you should also check out "the sound of silence" by disturbed it is also a great cover.
Life is very short you’ll be old before you know it .make the best of it . Know matter what you acquire in your life you’re not taking it when you die
his voice was so haunting but yet very enjoyable my favorite is Ring of Fire
One song can open a can of worms. LOL. You mentioned "My Way". That song was actually French song "Comme d'habitude" composed by Jacques Revaux with lyrics by Gilles Thibaut and Claude François. The English lyrics of the song were written by Paul Anka and are unrelated to the original French song. Sinatra asked Paul to write him a song while having dinner. "We went to dinner and he told me that he was retiring". He finished 'My Way' in five hours.
Definitely another absolute masterpiece of a last work.
Great reaction!
Have you done "when the man comes around"? That's a pretty good tune.
I hurt myself today to see if I still feel. I hit myself in the thumb with a hammer the other day. It hurt like crazy I just thought to myself I am alive.
Did NOT know andi and i are within the same month in age. Damn, i'm slacking.
First time I heard this song it was the opening music played over the intro scenes of Person of Interest (S3 E9) and it hit me in the feels hard enough it made it into my top 100
Another great reaction guys. You wanna hear a song where the artist most definitely knew he was going to die soon, and exactly how, listen to the acoustic version of Pool Shark by Bradley Nowell on the album Sublime Acoustic: Bradley Nowell & Friends.
I believe this was produced by Rick Rubin
He performed it closer to about a year before he passed. The original singer now says it belongs to Johnny.
you really should do Delia's gone by Johnny cash one of my favorites
Can you imagine the weight on a persons shoulder, of being a legend while you live and breath🤔 and knowing folks will still know of you many many years after your death
If we could all start again.........
Love when you have @itsandiroo on the reactions.
I hung my head.
Dude, I'm 53 going through the hardest struggle of my life.
I hope you're ok. I'm 55 times can be challenging but the tough times will pass and things will get better, step by step they will improve, hang in there. Best wishes from Ireland.
Check out Producer Rick Ruben's stories about helping and coaching Johnny through the times of June's death and Johnny's diabetic disease and blindness which Cash would eventually succumb to.
"My Way" was a French tune that Paul Anka wrote the english lyrics and was covered by many artists including Elvis Presley and Sid Vicious (The Sex Pistols).
I think it hits harder when you have lost people and almost yourself. Almost everyone in my life has died from drug addiction/ODs. I nearly lost myself countless times but somehow survived and the guilt threw me back in the cycle of just hoping every time would be the last time. That I’d fade blissfully into nothingness and the pain would finally end.
I have 4 years clean and it’s still a daily struggle. I just want to let others know that it’s not impossible even though it seems that way. ❤
You need to react to some of the performances by the supergroup The Highwaymen (consisting of Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson). I would suggest the following songs: The Highwayman, City of New Orleans, Silver Stallion, Me and Bobby McGee, Sunday Morning Coming Down, Desperadoes Waiting for a Train, The Last Cowboy Song, Loving Her Was Easier Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again, Big River, A Boy Named Sue, Folsom Prison Blues, and Riders in the Sky.
The last handful of albums Cash released were produced by Rick Rubin, who talked Cash into doing Hurt.
Speaking of original version. Well Reznor sings about his own problems in life and Cash about his. I think it is a beauty of masterpiece that everyone can use same lyrics yet put so many different senses to it.
Fact check: Sinatra didn't write My Way. He recorded it at age 53, about 30 years before he died.
Just throwing this out there you should check out avenged sevenfolds, fiction of the album nightmare. The drummer wrote and sang on the song. They were in the studio recording the album when the drummer the Rev sadly passed away. The song speaks for itself
The discussion about predicting your death in song reminds me of of Kurdt Cobain singing I Hate Myself and Want to Die shortly before taking his life.
This is such a great song! You should do the original version by Nine Inch Nails too. They are very different songs, even though they have the same lyrics. Johnny Cash's version is an older man coming toward the end of his life, singing about regret. Trent Reznor's version is a young man struggling with depression and addiction. I would do a live version. Trent closes every show with this song.
Okay, sounds like you've already heard it. Andy, you should check out the NIN version. I like both, but prefer it.
Yeah, I loved the original NIN version when it came out, but Johnny Cash took it to a whole other level in his cover.
Let's be honest, the coolest aspect is that Cash in his old age was still listening to contemporary music in wildly different genres. That's a true musician. So many get stuck in their own sound and style, especially as they get older. It's very common for younger musicians to cover the music of the older generation, as that's what they grew up with, but you very rarely see the reverse. Cash was 70 years old when this was recorded. How many 70 year olds would consider industrial metal as anything other than noise, even now, 22 years later? But Cash was always well ahead of his time.
@@Arkryal I agree that it's awesome he was listening to current music. His cover of Rusty Cage by Soundgarden is great too. I think his cover of Hurt is amazing, but it's a whole different vibe/mood/perspective, so I think which version you prefer depends on your own frame of reference and perspective, as well as style preferences.
Oh, NiN covers Johnny Cash's Hurt? Just kidding - both versions definitely have a totally different vibe and take to them. I heard Trent's version way before Johnny covered it. But I do agree with Trent, Johnny just somehow took ownership of the song. From what I read at the time, Trent was very against it until he heard it.
@@JohnSheehan72 Haha! He didn't like it until he saw the video. There is a youtube video with him talking about it in an interview. I can't post the link here, but if you search, it's called "Trent Reznor says he "dismissed" Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt the first time he heard it"
I think both versions are amazing.
Listen to: Johnny Cash, Boy named Sue
As far as retrospective songs go. This one and Johnny Paycheck "old violen" are two of the deepest.
The singers sometimes write the song they are singing. But neither Johnny Cash on Hurt nor Frank Sinatra on My Way had a part in writing the song. They made it sound like they did.
I would love for you to react to Johnny Cash perform “Gods Gonna Cut You Down”.
You’ll love the beat.
It was released after Johnnys passing, so his video contains some “guest appearances”.
One of the greatest covers of all time. Even trent renzor who wrote it says its no longer his song
This was his goodbye a reflection of his life I was only a few years old when Cash passed away but I listened to his music heavily growing up and still do as a 25 year old.
I always thought this song was about drugs “The needle tears a hole, that old familiar sting” and regret… a lot of regret “I will make you hurt.” 😢
Johnny Cash also did a cover of Soundgarden's Rusty Cage.
So glad to see young folks knowing and understanding their history. Much love out to those who don't turn their back on their elders!
i just missed it oh no 🙈
Enjoyed your reaction! Frank Sinatra didn't write My Way either. I don't think he was even the first to record it. But, like Johnny Cash and Hurt, My Way became Sinatra's song after he recorded it! ✌❤
