When his daughter watched this video, she said it looks like you're saying goodbye ...Johnny replied I am he died a few months after its release....Very powerful song! makes me cry everytime
I hear you, Karen! I've gone through the hard times for at least 8 years now (I had to watch every member of my family die and was holding them in my arms as they died). My brother died first of cancer, then my father died in my arms in 2013. My mother developed Alzheimer's and I became her caregiver until she died in 2019. I'm now alone with nothing left except for my dear friends that I've had the honor of having as friends all of my life...but now they're all dying around me. Some have died from heart attacks, others of cancer, several recently of suicides, and about 3 weeks ago I learned that my best friend in the world (a brother for all intents and purposes a brother, to the point that he raised his kids to call me "Uncle") has stomach, liver cancer, and it's spreading now into his lymph nodes, etc., with a prognosis of only 3% chance of surviving it. He's asked me to come visit him soon because it'll be his last chance to see me. I'm going to go see him and say "goodbye"....life is hard. This song has become my theme song. Especially "everyone I know, goes away in the end....".
there's an old saying that's not 100% accurate, but still very true... *_"You can live 3 months without food, 3 days without water, and 3 minutes without air. But not 3 seconds without hope."_*
The lady in red in the picture is his mom. The lady on the stairs is June, his wife. She died 3 months after this video was made, and 4 months later, Johnny joined her in the endless sleep. Material things. We collect them as we go through life, but at the final reckoning, they are as nothing, indeed, dirt or dust. Treasure those you love. Tell them you love them. While you still can.
A lot of people actually miss the meaning behind this song... it's about a person admitting they have not always been a good person and regrets all the hurt they have caused. It's about being honest and owning up to your mistakes. I actually loved this song when it was originally released by Nine Inch Nails and played it repeatedly, but when Johnny Cash covered it years later it seemed a perfect fit for the man in black somehow... he did a brilliant job of it.
It seems like Jonny just cleaning his soul in preparation of his upcoming death. Basically stating he wasn't always a good Christian and he may not actually reach Heaven, but he has tried to do his best.
I’ve watched and listen to this a Hundred times and still cry. The fact that his wife died a few months before this video came out and that he died a few months after this video. Love that you have that empathy and emotion that a reactor should have. ❤️🙏
@@nomeereacts1101 My deepest sympathy for you loss. I am much older than you and have lost both parents, two husbands two siblings and a two day old grandson. His loss was so difficult because I not only had my own grief but my heart broke for my daughter. I still wonder often what kind of little man he would have been.
Everyone I know goes away in the end. That line hurts. I had listened to NIN’s version and didn’t think much about it. Johnny’s version brought me pain and hurt. I’m 67 now and thinking back. I lost my father when I was 21. 2 years later my best friend to suicide. Then another to suicide, both over stupid sh!t. Another 2 died in car accidents. My mom, my wife and then my younger sister a couple years back along with my older friends thru the years. Everytime I hear this song I break down.
When Johnny Cash was a teenager, he was supposed to go cut some firewood with a large band saw in a shack behind the family home (the little white house in the video), but he didn’t, he went somewhere else so his older brother did it. The saw snapped and sliced his abdomen open. He hung on for three days and then died. Johnny’s father, who was a preacher, never forgave him for that. In fact he told Johnny that he should have died that day. This was just the first of a long, long string of painful events in Johnny Cash’s life, events that he tried but ultimately failed to get past. “I am still right here.”
i am an old man rapidly approaching the end of my days. i deal with neuralgia and experience excruciating pain on a constant basis. so, i have stopped taking all my medications (heart, blood pressure, diabetes, etc) and i will let nature take it's course because i can't go on this way. this song has become my proverbial swan song. i have done a lot of terrible things to good people over my lifetime. i have been to war and killed people that were just trying to live their lives as they saw fit. i wish i had never participated in that travesty. but since i don't have a time machine, i can't fix my mistakes. i wish i could, but it's not going to happen. all i can do is say that i regret my actions and i am truly, deeply sorry that i hurt so many people during my life. and i hope my daughters will understand and forgive me when they learn the whole truth about me. *_"if i could start again a million miles away. i would keep myself. i will find a way."_*
An old man full of sorrow and regret, nearing the end of his life. A man who focused on material gain and fame, only to realize at the end that none of it brought him happiness and is meaningless (my empire of dirt). Who made terrible mistakes and can’t fix them. This is the kind of man I fear becoming. I don’t want to grow old and die alone with regret in my heart.
Ultimately the only hope of perfect love comes in Jesus Christ. Fortunately, Johnny Cash knew that and sang about it often. There are really no ways to talk ourselves out of pain and suffering. We live in a fallen world and that’s why Jesus said “come on to me all you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest.“ Thanks for the heartfelt reaction.
Don't worry, it hit me just as hard the first time I heard it and depending on my mood I still cry to it. You're Bless with Empathy, it's such a gift from god.
You beautiful soul, no words are necessary. Your reaction says it all. What the song brings out and means to you is real. This song is by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. He wrote it about his drug addition. When Cash recorded it, Trent said, "It's not my song any more. It's his." Later, he is reported to have said, "I was born to write 'Hurt' and Johnny Cash was meant to sing it." I've been a musician 45 years and grew up with Cash's music. This song makes me cry every time. Listen to some of his older music if you haven't already. "God's gonna cut you down." BTW, his wife passed away not long after this vdeio, I believe, and he died within a year. When he recorded the video, his daughter said, "Dad, it sounds like you're saying 'Goodbye.'" He replied, "That's because I am." Peace, my friend. We are all children of the same Creator and thanks for sharing some feelings with your new friend and brother from Texas.
I drive by the 'House of Cash' everyday on my way to work. It's in Hendersonville, Tennessee. I salute Johnny every morning at ~7:10 am when I pass by that structure.
I don't know whether to pity or envy people that don't fight to breath throughout this song. I have heard it 100 times, and it pummels me every single time. Another one of those times when self-awareness is devastating.
I cry so much after seeing this, but it’s cathartic. Haven’t gone through the loss of the last of my family these past few years really brings his message to for me. Don’t be ashamed. I cried more than you did after seeing your video and thank you so much for sharing your emotions and this beautiful piece of music.
You reacted as many, including myself, have.....Don't feel bad. The truth Johnny is telling us resonates within every created being. That this life is sooo short and what we 'have' doesn't/can't make us happy. I thank Johnny for doing this song someone else wrote. Happy truth - Johnny and his wife (who died shortly after this was filmed) both lived for the LORD for a few years before dying. I looking forward to singing with him in heaven......
Such a heartfelt reaction. Love this...this song makes me feel the same way, especially as I grow older, and we lose more and more of those we love each year.
Great reaction , and lot of love cause i feel your pain So , the song originaly belongs to nine inch nails , and when the writer/singer hear this version he said "its like the song belongs to him , is not anymore my song" The video was filmed few weeks before Jonnys wife die (the woman behind him in the stairs) and also its the last music video of Johnny cause also die few months later It was great singer at his time (50s-60s) but he was fall in the loop with alcohol and drugs , and also he spend time in jail Thats why he feel the lyrics and he put hes soul in this song
@@blackeer6614 As his career was taking off in the late 1950s, Cash started drinking heavily and became addicted to amphetamines and barbiturates. For a brief time, he shared an apartment in Nashville with Waylon Jennings, who was deeply addicted to amphetamines. Cash would use the stimulants to stay awake during tours. Friends joked about his "nervousness" and erratic behavior, many ignoring the warning signs of his worsening drug addiction. Although he was in many ways spiraling out of control, Cash could still deliver hits due to his frenetic creativity. His rendition of "Ring of Fire" was a crossover hit, reaching number one on the country charts and entering the top 20 on the pop charts. It was originally performed by June's sister, but the signature mariachi-style horn arrangement was provided by Cash.[46] He said that it had come to him in a dream. Vivian Liberto claimed a different version of the origins of "Ring of Fire". In her book, I Walked the Line: My Life with Johnny, Liberto says that Cash gave Carter half the songwriting credit for monetary reasons.[47] In June 1965, Cash's camper caught fire during a fishing trip with his nephew Damon Fielder in Los Padres National Forest in California, triggering a forest fire that burned several hundred acres and nearly caused his death.[48][49] Cash claimed that the fire was caused by sparks from a defective exhaust system on his camper, but Fielder thinks that Cash started a fire to stay warm and in his drugged condition failed to notice the fire getting out of control.[50] When the judge asked Cash why he did it, Cash said, "I didn't do it, my truck did, and it's dead, so you can't question it."[51] The fire destroyed 508 acres (206 ha), burned the foliage off three mountains and drove off 49 of the refuge's 53 endangered California condors.[52] Cash was unrepentant and claimed, "I don't care about your damn yellow buzzards."[53] The federal government sued him and was awarded $125,172. Cash eventually settled the case and paid $82,001.[54] Although Cash cultivated a romantic outlaw image, he never served a prison sentence. Despite landing in jail seven times for misdemeanors, he stayed only one night on each stay. On May 11, 1965, he was arrested in Starkville, Mississippi, for trespassing late at night onto private property to pick flowers. (He used this to write the song "Starkville City Jail", which he discussed on his live At San Quentin album.)[55] While on tour that year, he was arrested October 4 in El Paso, Texas, by a narcotics squad. The officers suspected he was smuggling heroin from Mexico, but found instead 688 Dexedrine capsules (amphetamines) and 475 Equanil (sedatives or tranquilizers) tablets that the singer had hidden inside his guitar case. Because the pills were prescription drugs rather than illegal narcotics, he received a suspended sentence. Cash posted a $1,500 bond and then was released until his arraignment.[56] In this period of the mid-1960s, Cash released a number of concept albums. His Bitter Tears (1964) was devoted to spoken word and songs addressing the plight of Native Americans and mistreatment by the government. While initially reaching charts, this album met with resistance from some fans and radio stations, which rejected its controversial take on social issues. In 2011, a book was published about it, leading to a re-recording of the songs by contemporary artists and the making of a documentary film about Cash's efforts with the album. This film was aired on PBS in February and November 2016. His Sings the Ballads of the True West (1965) was an experimental double record, mixing authentic frontier songs with Cash's spoken narration. Reaching a low with his severe drug addiction and destructive behavior, Cash was divorced from his first wife and had performances cancelled, but he continued to find success. In 1967, Cash's duet with June Carter, "Jackson", won a Grammy Award.[57] Cash was last arrested in 1967 in Walker County, Georgia, after police found he was carrying a bag of prescription pills and was in a car accident. Cash attempted to bribe a local deputy, who turned the money down. The singer was jailed for the night in LaFayette, Georgia. Sheriff Ralph Jones released him after giving him a long talk, warning him about the danger of his behavior and wasted potential. Cash credited that experience with helping him turn around and save his life. He later returned to LaFayette to play a benefit concert; it attracted 12,000 people (the city population was less than 9,000 at the time) and raised $75,000 for the high school.[58] Reflecting on his past in a 1997 interview, Cash noted: "I was taking the pills for awhile, and then the pills started taking me."[59] June, Maybelle, and Ezra Carter moved into Cash's mansion for a month to help him get off drugs. Cash proposed onstage to June on February 22, 1968, at a concert at the London Gardens in London, Ontario, Canada. The couple married a week later (on March 1) in Franklin, Kentucky. She had agreed to marry Cash after he had "cleaned up."[60] Cash's journey included rediscovery of his Christian faith. He took an "altar call" in Evangel Temple, a small church in the Nashville area, pastored by Reverend Jimmie Rodgers Snow, son of country music legend Hank Snow. According to Marshall Grant, though, Cash did not completely stop using amphetamines in 1968. Cash did not end all drug use until 1970, staying drug-free for a period of seven years. Grant claims that the birth of Cash's son, John Carter Cash, inspired Cash to end his dependence.[61] Cash began using amphetamines again in 1977. By 1983, he was deeply addicted again and became a patient at the Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage for treatment. He stayed off drugs for several years, but relapsed. By 1989, he was dependent and entered Nashville's Cumberland Heights Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center. In 1992, he started care at the Loma Linda Behavioral Medicine Center in Loma Linda, California, for his final rehabilitation treatment. (Several months later, his son followed him into this facility for treatment).[62][63
I am binge watching reaction videos to this track. It cracks me up every time, and you are the only one of all the videos I saw who is catching her breath the same places and can’t stop the tears from running. It is such a sad song and video, but there is also something so sweet about this sadness. Thank you!
I too have watched many reactions to this song and besides this one I watched one other, a young man, who's reaction was similar. He started with the original Nine Inch Nail and followed with this version. He cried as well and his thoughts were quite deep for one so young.
This Video/Performance, is one that any Person of any Age can relate to. " Everyone I know goes away in the End". At a young age we begin to lose those that we Love. Grandparents for Example. And that Pattern will continue throughout your Life. People that you love move away, get married, lose touch. LIFE. And Life can be very Sad, if not downright Heartbreaking. This video was a very hard watch.
Only Johnny Cash could cover this song. No one else. What an honest way to say good-bye to one's loved ones. What an example he set for those left behind.
Nomee, it's ok to cry. I cried when I first saw this video back in 2003. Even his family were emotional when they saw it. I can relate to this video as there are parts of me in it. I watch it often. There are people that are lost. I hope this video seen by many, can be found. The Man in Black lives on.
Mad respect for doing this music video. Seeing ya go from so upbeat to so immensely emotionally spent by the end… it was so real. Hurt has to be the most emotionally devastating video I have ever seen and it was so well done that Trent Reznor of NIN (who wrote and originally played this song) basically said that it was no longer his song, it was Johnny Cash’s. I think it is one of the best pairings between lyrics, singer and music video. A man at the end of his life who sings about all his regrets and how he wishes he could go back and do it all over again… oof. Pair that with the fact that not too long after that Cash’s wife (who is in the video) died and then months after Cash himself died really adds to the emotional weight of this vid.
I loved your reaction. I've been watching reactions to this video for the past day or two, I'm going through one of the most painful and insulting things I've ever experienced right now and I want to be with people who feel what I feel so I'm not alone. Johnny was an amazing man, with a hard hard story. He fucked things up in a million ways and hurt the people he loved, and yet was a poet about real life and the hardship of life. He was always about the downtrodden and empathized with people living ugly lives because hurting makes you compassionate. The Man in Black was one of his songs about this. A song of his I'd recommend that no one else has probably reacted to is The Ballad of Ira Hayes, it's a story about a Native American WWII hero who was treated like crap. It's not one of his best songs, but it shows the kind of man Johnny was, his way of speaking to you through his music, and his story telling style in his music. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that one. Peace
Please do not apologize for being an empathetic, caring, and compassionate person. For those of us who have gone through the trials that John had we can identify with the pain and suffering. We never get over it but we do get through it. Peace
You have such a beautiful spirit. And beautiful skin & HAIR! I love your reaction to this. So genuine. This song hit me hard, too......for many reasons
Bless you soulful loving heart. As Lil Simz says "If you can't feel pain you can't feel the opposite". If you've never seen/heard her Introvert video then please be sure to check it out. ✌️❤️🌏⚖️🙏♾️
I am you, you are me. Right down to not only do the tears flow in rivers, the more you try not to, the deeper the heaving in your chest, until the sobs become audible with that anguished yelp trying to push it all back in. I too am emotional, empathic. I cry at alot of things. I cry for a lot of things. I cry with a lot of things. But when something gets me, really gets me, its impossible for me to cry silent tears, and i hate it, especially in movies etc, the more i try and hold it in, the worse it gets. Hate of to you and your authenticity. Subscribed. X
Very real and authentic feelings. Glad that you allowed yourself to feel the impact of the video and were vulnerable enough to express them. One of the best reactions on RUclips.
So one of the really cool parts of this emotional song is that it was originally written by Trent Reznor who is the writer and lead singer of the band Nine Inch Nails said in an interview in 2002 that cash's "sincerity and meaning," in his song was so good that "that song (Hurt) isn't mine anymore."
Believe by Brooks and Dunn is also a great story. For me emotionally, it’s right up there with Hurt. I still get emotional from both songs. They hit a nerve with me. Peace
I'm a sixty year old man who worked hard breaking concrete and I am resorted to a blubbering mess of tears every time I hear this, its so heartfelt but also rips your heart out. Love it.....
When his daughter watched this video, she said it looks like you're saying goodbye ...Johnny replied I am he died a few months after its release....Very powerful song! makes me cry everytime
Yes, ...........-everything you said🤨😶

I actually loved this song when it was originally released by Nine Inch Nails and played it repeatedly, but when Johnny Cash covered it years later it seemed a perfect fit for the man in black somehow... he did a brilliant job of it.
I didn't miss it. It's not loss of hope, it's regret, for her she has obviously been through personas stuff and this triggers it.
It seems like Jonny just cleaning his soul in preparation of his upcoming death. Basically stating he wasn't always a good Christian and he may not actually reach Heaven, but he has tried to do his best.
Wow
"I will make you hurt" - Johnny Cash made us all hurt with this song.
😂 yh but sad too
It might be the most painful thing I have ever listened to no joke. Just gotta let it go. I've spent too much time in this pain. Fucking hell.
I felt the same the first time watching.
THANK YOU for the genuine reaction... thank you so so much! I have nothing else to say..... just THANK YOU so so much. It's SO beautiful!
I’ve watched and listen to this a Hundred times and still cry. The fact that his wife died a few months before this video came out and that he died a few months after this video. Love that you have that empathy and emotion that a reactor should have. ❤️🙏
Thanks dear I couldn’t hold my tears 😭 because of how I’ve experienced similar pains of loosing someone which in this case my mom 😭
Wrong. She died 3 months after the video came out not before
Awesome rendition by Johnny Cash. You should do a reaction to the song sung by Johnny Cash called "There Ain't no Grave". ✨🌳✨
@@nomeereacts1101 My deepest sympathy for you loss. I am much older than you and have lost both parents, two husbands two siblings and a two day old grandson.

I have to have a box of tissues to watch this the man in black. This song was meant for him
One of the most reel songs Johnny ever sang. Im 63, makes me cry every time. You can have it all because nothing earthly means a thing when your gone.
A well-done spiritual performance by a very spiritual man. Rest in Heaven, Johnny.
I love that song that was his goodbye song to the world 🙂🥰
Your reaction, is all of us.

Look, always gets me. Grew up with Cash
Who is the boy in the video
LOL....when i watched this for the first time....I cried just like that too. It is a very moving tribute to a king
An old man full of sorrow and regret, nearing the end of his life. A man who focused on material gain and fame, only to realize at the end that none of it brought him happiness and is meaningless (my empire of dirt). Who made terrible mistakes and can’t fix them. This is the kind of man I fear becoming. I don’t want to grow old and die alone with regret in my heart.
Ultimately the only hope of perfect love comes in Jesus Christ. Fortunately, Johnny Cash knew that and sang about it often. There are really no ways to talk ourselves out of pain and suffering. We live in a fallen world and that’s why Jesus said “come on to me all you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest.“

Gets me every time as well
You don't need to apologize for your emotions. Genuine reactions are why we watch. Just let the tears fall. You're a beautiful soul 💛

I have a problem With dirt or dust getting in my eyes for some reason during this song
It was gut wrenching to see you hurting so much 💔
Your empathy is pure and touching. This is the purpose of art.
I cannot listen to this song without bawling. If you can, you have not really lived life yet. Thanks for such an honest, authentic reaction.
you are such a sweet sweet soul......... thanks for sharing this with us.....

The song is deep. I feel your pain girl. It was so genuine... It was visceral.. God bless you lady. Best wishes from Brazil!

Great reaction , and lot of love cause i feel your pain
So , the song originaly belongs to nine inch nails , and when the writer/singer hear this version he said "its like the song belongs to him , is not anymore my song"
The video was filmed few weeks before Jonnys wife die (the woman behind him in the stairs) and also its the last music video of Johnny cause also die few months later
It was great singer at his time (50s-60s) but he was fall in the loop with alcohol and drugs , and also he spend time in jail
Thats why he feel the lyrics and he put hes soul in this song
Wow 😮 that’s so sad 😭

Vivian Liberto claimed a different version of the origins of "Ring of Fire". In her book, I Walked the Line: My Life with Johnny, Liberto says that Cash gave Carter half the songwriting credit for monetary reasons.[47]
In June 1965, Cash's camper caught fire during a fishing trip with his nephew Damon Fielder in Los Padres National Forest in California, triggering a forest fire that burned several hundred acres and nearly caused his death.[48][49] Cash claimed that the fire was caused by sparks from a defective exhaust system on his camper, but Fielder thinks that Cash started a fire to stay warm and in his drugged condition failed to notice the fire getting out of control.[50] When the judge asked Cash why he did it, Cash said, "I didn't do it, my truck did, and it's dead, so you can't question it."[51] The fire destroyed 508 acres (206 ha), burned the foliage off three mountains and drove off 49 of the refuge's 53 endangered California condors.[52] Cash was unrepentant and claimed, "I don't care about your damn yellow buzzards."[53] The federal government sued him and was awarded $125,172. Cash eventually settled the case and paid $82,001.[54]
Although Cash cultivated a romantic outlaw image, he never served a prison sentence. Despite landing in jail seven times for misdemeanors, he stayed only one night on each stay. On May 11, 1965, he was arrested in Starkville, Mississippi, for trespassing late at night onto private property to pick flowers. (He used this to write the song "Starkville City Jail", which he discussed on his live At San Quentin album.)[55] While on tour that year, he was arrested October 4 in El Paso, Texas, by a narcotics squad. The officers suspected he was smuggling heroin from Mexico, but found instead 688 Dexedrine capsules (amphetamines) and 475 Equanil (sedatives or tranquilizers) tablets that the singer had hidden inside his guitar case. Because the pills were prescription drugs rather than illegal narcotics, he received a suspended sentence. Cash posted a $1,500 bond and then was released until his arraignment.[56]
In this period of the mid-1960s, Cash released a number of concept albums. His Bitter Tears (1964) was devoted to spoken word and songs addressing the plight of Native Americans and mistreatment by the government. While initially reaching charts, this album met with resistance from some fans and radio stations, which rejected its controversial take on social issues. In 2011, a book was published about it, leading to a re-recording of the songs by contemporary artists and the making of a documentary film about Cash's efforts with the album. This film was aired on PBS in February and November 2016. His Sings the Ballads of the True West (1965) was an experimental double record, mixing authentic frontier songs with Cash's spoken narration.
Reaching a low with his severe drug addiction and destructive behavior, Cash was divorced from his first wife and had performances cancelled, but he continued to find success. In 1967, Cash's duet with June Carter, "Jackson", won a Grammy Award.[57]
Cash was last arrested in 1967 in Walker County, Georgia, after police found he was carrying a bag of prescription pills and was in a car accident. Cash attempted to bribe a local deputy, who turned the money down. The singer was jailed for the night in LaFayette, Georgia. Sheriff Ralph Jones released him after giving him a long talk, warning him about the danger of his behavior and wasted potential. Cash credited that experience with helping him turn around and save his life. He later returned to LaFayette to play a benefit concert; it attracted 12,000 people (the city population was less than 9,000 at the time) and raised $75,000 for the high school.[58] Reflecting on his past in a 1997 interview, Cash noted: "I was taking the pills for awhile, and then the pills started taking me."[59] June, Maybelle, and Ezra Carter moved into Cash's mansion for a month to help him get off drugs. Cash proposed onstage to June on February 22, 1968, at a concert at the London Gardens in London, Ontario, Canada. The couple married a week later (on March 1) in Franklin, Kentucky. She had agreed to marry Cash after he had "cleaned up."[60]
Cash's journey included rediscovery of his Christian faith. He took an "altar call" in Evangel Temple, a small church in the Nashville area, pastored by Reverend Jimmie Rodgers Snow, son of country music legend Hank Snow. According to Marshall Grant, though, Cash did not completely stop using amphetamines in 1968. Cash did not end all drug use until 1970, staying drug-free for a period of seven years. Grant claims that the birth of Cash's son, John Carter Cash, inspired Cash to end his dependence.[61]
Cash began using amphetamines again in 1977. By 1983, he was deeply addicted again and became a patient at the Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage for treatment. He stayed off drugs for several years, but relapsed. By 1989, he was dependent and entered Nashville's Cumberland Heights Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center. In 1992, he started care at the Loma Linda Behavioral Medicine Center in Loma Linda, California, for his final rehabilitation treatment. (Several months later, his son followed him into this facility for treatment).[62][63
just found already love YOU!
just found you already love YOU! what a great heart you have.
I reacted much the same way, and do every time I see this video. It is soul-crushing.
I don't think anyone can watch this video without being deeply moved.
HelsBells you are awesome, I did know had these feelings with you...crying with you. 😥
I am binge watching reaction videos to this track. It cracks me up every time, and you are the only one of all the videos I saw who is catching her breath the same places and can’t stop the tears from running. It is such a sad song and video, but there is also something so sweet about this sadness. Thank you!
I'm doing the same
I'm doing the same
I too have watched many reactions to this song and besides this one I watched one other, a young man, who's reaction was similar. He started with the original Nine Inch Nail and followed with this version. He cried as well and his thoughts were quite deep for one so young.
Indeed, life is a gift..u're doing an amazing job 👍
Thanks 🙏🏽
That's an honest reaction! It's Hurt, for real!
Great honest reaction to one of the saddest, most emotional pieces of music and video ever made. Rest In Peace Johnny.
Omg ur reaction made me cry
This Video/Performance, is one that any Person of any Age can relate to. " Everyone I know goes away in the End". At a young age we begin to lose those that we Love. Grandparents for Example. And that Pattern will continue throughout your Life. People that you love move away, get married, lose touch. LIFE. And Life can be very Sad, if not downright Heartbreaking. This video was a very hard watch.
Only Johnny Cash could cover this song. No one else. What an honest way to say good-bye to one's loved ones. What an example he set for those left behind.
I have heard this song a couple thousand times now and it doesn't get any easier. I still cry from it. And more so now.
You're not supposed to "control your emotions"; we like the genuine
Nomee, it's ok to cry. I cried when I first saw this video back in 2003. Even his family were emotional when they saw it. I can relate to this video as there are parts of me in it. I watch it often. There are people that are lost. I hope this video seen by many, can be found. The Man in Black lives on.
Mad respect for doing this music video. Seeing ya go from so upbeat to so immensely emotionally spent by the end… it was so real.
Hurt has to be the most emotionally devastating video I have ever seen and it was so well done that Trent Reznor of NIN (who wrote and originally played this song) basically said that it was no longer his song, it was Johnny Cash’s.
I think it is one of the best pairings between lyrics, singer and music video. A man at the end of his life who sings about all his regrets and how he wishes he could go back and do it all over again… oof.
Pair that with the fact that not too long after that Cash’s wife (who is in the video) died and then months after Cash himself died really adds to the emotional weight of this vid.
I loved your reaction. I've been watching reactions to this video for the past day or two, I'm going through one of the most painful and insulting things I've ever experienced right now and I want to be with people who feel what I feel so I'm not alone. Johnny was an amazing man, with a hard hard story. He fucked things up in a million ways and hurt the people he loved, and yet was a poet about real life and the hardship of life. He was always about the downtrodden and empathized with people living ugly lives because hurting makes you compassionate. The Man in Black was one of his songs about this. A song of his I'd recommend that no one else has probably reacted to is The Ballad of Ira Hayes, it's a story about a Native American WWII hero who was treated like crap. It's not one of his best songs, but it shows the kind of man Johnny was, his way of speaking to you through his music, and his story telling style in his music. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that one. Peace
Your reaction dear is the same as all of us. Good job working through this video.
Please do not apologize for being an empathetic, caring, and compassionate person. For those of us who have gone through the trials that John had we can identify with the pain and suffering. We never get over it but we do get through it. Peace
One of the most genuine and true reactions I've seen! So sincere so real. Subscribed.
Sweet reaction to an epic song, Mr Cash made this song his own
You have such a beautiful spirit. And beautiful skin & HAIR! I love your reaction to this. So genuine. This song hit me hard, too......for many reasons
That's the only reaction you can have to a mans goodbye. You aren't alone I was in tears when I heard it too
~* I :sooooo understand...I found my man dead..half way on couch...had a heartattack...47..too young!!!! i well never be the same*~
I'm so sorry to hear that
Bless you soulful loving heart. As Lil Simz says "If you can't feel pain you can't feel the opposite". If you've never seen/heard her Introvert video then please be sure to check it out. ✌️❤️🌏⚖️🙏♾️
Thanks dear
I am you, you are me. Right down to not only do the tears flow in rivers, the more you try not to, the deeper the heaving in your chest, until the sobs become audible with that anguished yelp trying to push it all back in. I too am emotional, empathic. I cry at alot of things. I cry for a lot of things. I cry with a lot of things. But when something gets me, really gets me, its impossible for me to cry silent tears, and i hate it, especially in movies etc, the more i try and hold it in, the worse it gets. Hate of to you and your authenticity. Subscribed. X
That video really is a heartbreaker.
Truly candid reaction
Very real and authentic feelings. Glad that you allowed yourself to feel the impact of the video and were vulnerable enough to express them. One of the best reactions on RUclips.
So one of the really cool parts of this emotional song is that it was originally written by Trent Reznor who is the writer and lead singer of the band Nine Inch Nails said in an interview in 2002 that cash's "sincerity and meaning," in his song was so good that "that song (Hurt) isn't mine anymore."
Big hugs! Loved your reaction!
❤❤❤❤❤
The saddest part is he knew he was at his end and this was why he covered this song.
❤ Thank you!
Great heartfelt reaction.
Thank you.
Great reaction. I can tell you’re speaking from experience and from your own hurt.
Well felt, sister. Heav stuff.
Powerful reaction 🥹
thank you for the most real reaction ive seen to this
Believe by Brooks and Dunn is also a great story. For me emotionally, it’s right up there with Hurt. I still get emotional from both songs. They hit a nerve with me. Peace
Just subbed. You have such a kind soul and we need more of that in this world!! Sending love from Baton Rouge, Louisiana!! 💙💙
Thanx for your reaction ❤
I'm a sixty year old man who worked hard breaking concrete and I am resorted to a blubbering mess of tears every time I hear this, its so heartfelt but also rips your heart out. Love it.....
Damn it I'm crying with you, thank you....
You spoke straight to my heart and I’m grateful for your message ♥️
Thanks 😊
Beautiful reaction, thank you!

The pain only time the pain will stop is when we're dead
