You named both of the country musicians I listen to at all, actually ENJOY. I don't think of either as limited to a genre like country... Hank and Johnny totally transcend any attempt at labeling in the standard genres.
“The saddest music video of all time.” How could someone make a such bullshit sweeping statement? Have he seen all the sad music videos from Asia, Latin and South America and Africa? Western-centrism and narrow-mindedness is the only explanation for such a statement.
I've taken on this song as a personal anthem. My health is failing, mostly mental health but the rest is not far behind. I chase everyone away. I hirt them. I bring them down. But I'm grateful for this. A sadder story I have never heard.
That's so sad my Dad did the same but I made a promise to him to be there for him and I did so now I have a boyfriend of 40 year's that has done the same and it makes for a lonely life for me why do people have to have to be so hateful
@@gloriapalethorpe2312 I'm sorry but we're not hateful. We dont mean to hurt people we just dont feel loved we feel everyones out to get us and we know it ain't true but we act as if it is and we drive people away to not be hurt but also to save others because we know it ends the same way it always does. I'm really sorry my kinds of people exist but we've been hurt and backstabbed so much we believe everyone will do the same.
@@gloriapalethorpe2312 look into narcissistic abuse. Borderline personality disorder. If you're with someone who has that you need to run as fast as you can bcuz they will rip your life apart. Never ever sacrifice yourself to someone who enjoys hurting you.
Michael, if people are willing to be close to you - most people run a mile when you fall on hard times - see them as a precious blessing and embrace them. Don’t make them the object of your pain, make them the easing of your “hurt”.
Trent Reznor is quoted as saying “the song belongs to him now” after seeing the powerful music video. NIN closes every concert with Hurt, it’s a masterpiece and that is why Cash was attracted to it.
I don’t think you feel what he feels. This song is a testament to a successful man with money and fame letting you know he’s unhappy at the end bc all his loved ones are gone at the end. Telling us all those times he chose his music career to better his life he regrets it all and would trade all those moments for memories of his loved ones that he held off so many times bc if his fame and music hunger.
No, it most definitely is a sad one. Especially by the original artist. It's a song about self realization, figuring out that even if you could go back and change things, your p.o.s. self would find another way to F stuff up. Very sad.
This song is a true masterpiece! Everyone will see and feel something unique. The name is “Hurt” and there are many pains and hurts in this life! And it is not the sad song , it is inspiration for me. Inspiration to stop siting in liars trone and stop wearing crown of thorns. Wake the fakup!
I am too young to really appreciate the work and of times of Johnny Cash. However, I found this particular video purely by chance, and was tempted to either fast-forward through most of it, or just move away and find a far more appropriate song for my tastes. But for whatever reason, I watched the video in full, and OMG it drew me in so quickly. Cash's fragile voice gripped my heart, and the pounding guitar strings and piano hit me like someone beating on my soul. I never knew the man, his songs or his career. And yet after listening to this song I feel like I've known him all my life, just like a distant uncle. I cry when I play this song. I really don't know why, but I cry and cry. Whether this is a sad song or a reflection on his career, it matters not to me because I absolutely adore it, and has taught me to live life and appreciate it to the full before its all too late. Thank you, Johnny (and his wife). RIP xx
Hey Zola, here’s the good news. You didn’t have to be there to experience what J.R Cash was about. We have his legacy, his music. There are countless documentaries, books, live performances and interviews. He belongs to all of us and that means you as well. Seek and you will find. Happy hunting..
I disagree with your first statement. I am 21 and have loved Johnny Cash since I was 12. Just look up the music. Or ask you parents, music is timeless.
Hi Zola, Cash will live on through people just like you who were too young to appreciate or even experience him while he was alive. I’d suggest watching the movie - Walk the Line, you’ll get a good idea of who he was 💜
I’m in a similar situation, I’m 15 and I heard this song about a month ago. It was the first Johnny cash song I’ve fully listened to and I’ve been hooked, his songs soften bring be to tears and I appreciate him and his work. I genuinely believe he is one of the greatest musicians of all time
My dad was a Cash fan. And because of that I never paid attention, until this song / album. Now, Man in Black, The Wonderer and A man comes around are my favourite songs.
While I was too young to experience this great legend, my father-in-law has very fond memories of Johnny Cash. He loved to come up to Saskatchewan, Canada and spend time fishing in La Ronge.
My son hated county music his whole life till this song by Johnny came out. To my astonishment he went out and bought every one of his cds he could get his hands on. Lol.
I cried the first time I saw the video and heard the song I always feel my chest tighten up but I know this song is a reflection of his journey through life.
I heard that Trent, the original writer of the song, after hearing Johnny's version said 'it's not my song anymore'.... It became Johnny, and Johnny became the song.
My dad was a faithful Cash fan, He had all his songs. The one we would listen to was "one piece at a time" and when I listen to it I remember doing this with my dad. Lately I have been reflecting on life and how life is going by so fast, and when I saw this video, I could not help but shed a few tears. Thank you for sharing
Early one morning with time to kill I borrowed Jeb's rifle and sat on the hill I saw a lone rider crossing the plain I drew a bead on him, to practice my aim My brother's rifle went off in my hand A shot rang out across the land The horse, he kept running, the rider was dead
Excellent taste my friend. That song rips a person who feels guilty or blames themself internally for something that indirectly caused a tragedy or death.
When this video came out onto MTV it was not only daunting to Johnnys life & June's but, a end to an entire era being not long after MTV began reality shows the music videos had begun being played less it surely put a end to the old celebrities as well as my generation Baby Boomers had now been nearing 40s I can honestly say despite where Technology is today there will never be another time to have been alive on earth than the 60s throughout the 90s " Never " the things today are so isolated its scarey . I myself never thought I'd be speaking like my late grandparents, parents , aunts & uncles on that note I'll end with life is short before you know it your old sure we say enjoy it while you can but by the time you get to retire your torn and turned grey lucky to have a few yrs to enjoy your fruits of labor. Enjoy your life every minute is precious.. Wherever, the Cashs are I sure hope its as beautiful as promised. Amen 🖤🙏🏻🖤 Thank you for doing this video . 🤘🤘🤘
This is a great video. When you mentioned that his wife was looking into the distance, I thought that she was lovingly looking at him, seeing his pain and feeling sympathetic, which was sadly ironic since her passing was close to the filming. It also seems a bit ironic that about halfway in between their deaths was the last time he did a live performance. I love some of his music, but I have to say Hurt was definitely my favorite. Even though it was a cover, Trent Reznor himself said that it became his song when he watched the music video.
Best video of all time. Such a great song, great cover, great production. When you google what art is, I'm almost positive this is what will not pop up. But it should.
I really wish you kept the focus of this video on the subject. I get that you guys want to advertise your own content, but sometimes it's better to tell just one story. RIP Johnny You gave us all a proper send off, and I will be front row at the first show in the sky that I can make it to. And I'll be fashionably late, no need to rush.
Correct, Johnny didn't even like the idea at first because the genre was so far away from him. Rick Rubin was the one who wanted to do it and even had a hard time convincing Cash. Also Trent Reznor didn't "warm up" to the idea but rather downplayed the choice for himself by thinking the song would just be one of hundreds cover songs done by Cash so he actually didn't care too much about it.
Rubin actually came up with the idea, Johnny needed convincing first and Trent was angry when he found out about the song until he saw the video. Easy interviews to find this stuff actually
I have loved Johnny Cash since I was a kid , I am now almost 68, and it hits close to home for me, in my own journey of time. This video breaks me down every time. There was another song , that Johnny did about addiction " Sunday Morning coming down " written by Chris Kristofferson .By Cash doing that ,he jump started Kristofferson career .
@Guy Whose opinions will offend you some famous singers can't sing, look at Ashlee Simpson. Used recordings, but yeah you expect to be good if you're famous. I am not a fan of every Cash song but even the ones I don't like I appreciate his story telling and singing.
Whoa. Saw Johnny once. Selland Arena, Fresno, 1974. June was great when she joined in, but it was all Johnny. It was one of the 1st concerts he sang Ragged Old Flag. The roof about blew off. I cried a bit. Fantastic. Colin
His American Recording CD series is a must. I was never a fan of his until I heard them all. Hurt being one of the amazing songs he recorded. Everything has been said about Hurt, I must say it brakes me apart everytime I listen to it. I select the time when I do, it's that special.
Cash's career legitamately got a vikings sendoff with the last physical remnants of his life burned to ashes. the only thing we have now is his music and this last song.
This Hurt, the Johnny Cash version and the Goo Goo Doll Irish are my two saddest songs. Especially the latter as it was my friends funeral song. He was just 19 year old when he passed away. And that was 12 years ago, whenever I hear that one song I immediately think of Danny
Thanks for the video, but there are a few common misconceptions that you might want to correct in the interest of accuracy. The "House of Cash"---despite the misleading name---was never lived in by any of the Cash family. It was an unauthorized museum in Hendersonville, Tennessee, devoted to the life and work of Johnny Cash. Cash and his wife lived nearby at 200 Caudill Drive in Hendersonville, TN, which was his lakeside home from 1968 until his death in 2003. Also, the "House of Cash", the setting for much of the "Hurt" video, did not burn down, but his real home did; in accordance with Cash's will, his long-time home at 200 Caudill Drive was sold after his death in 2003. Barry Gibb of Bee Gees fame purchased the property; while it was under renovation it burned down in an accidental fire in 2007. The official, authorized museum dedicated to Johnny Cash is located in Nashville. It opened in 2013. To complicate things a bit further, there's another place dedicated to the life and music of Johnny Cash called the Storytellers Hideaway Farm and Museum, located in Bon Aqua, TN; it opened in 2016 on the former 107-acre farm of Cash's. Again, your video was interesting, but I think a re-recording of the narration might be something to consider.
Thank you for those clarifications. It did seem odd while watching the otherwise excellent doc when the narrator mentioned that Johnny and June lived in the House of Cash for 30+ years -- as a roadside attraction in disrepair, it did not appear to be the home of music legends with a big family that loved the outdoors. Of course hearing that their real home burned down is even more depressing than hearing the House of Cash did. All that said, it was a great documentary about an amazing video. It is sad, of course, as a tale of decisions made and regretted, but the choices you make form who you are as a whole. You can always second-guess them, but they are the fabric of your existence. We all crumble to dirt, and we all will lose many of those we love if we live long enough, but there is always hope and memories -- and if we're lucky, some younger family and friends -- to sustain us. At least that's what I hope as a man about to turn 55 and send my last kid off to college.
Johnny Cash Museum in Nashville reconstructed the living room wall with stones rescued from the fire. It's an amazing place. I live in DC and take my family down there to visit it every few years. The other extremely touching thing they have is the hand written eulogy for June's funeral. It's very touching.
My favorite songs by Johnny Cash. Studio recorded songs: 1.) Folsom Prison Blues (my number one favorite) 2.) Tennessee Flattop Box 3.) Train of Love 4.) Next In Line 5.) I Walk The Line Live Performances 1.) Five Feet High and Rising (Star Route USA) 2.) Sunday Morning Coming Down (Tennessee State Prison) (There's a whole lot more but these are what I put down off the top of my head)
So amazing, I didn't know about June, that's sad.. I just remember enjoying seeing her in the video in real time as well as in many decades ago in the flashbacks during. Just her look as she stands over \ behind him, something raw and could not be acted anyone. Quick take... NIN being one of my all time favs too especially since Trent is so freaking talented, IN THE NIN VERSION< TRENT WROTE THE SONG FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A YOUNG EARLY 20's HEROIN ADDICT DEALING WITH LOSS AND EITHER SUBCONC OR EMOTIONALLY PUSHING PEOPLE AWAY> ITS MEANT TO SHOW HOW HARD IT IS SO EARLY IN LIFE TO LOOK FOR A BETTER WAY WHEN THINGS ARE BLEEK> WHEN JOHNNY TWEAKED IT AND PUT A WHOLE LOT OF THAT NON FAKE JUST MOJO IN THIS IT WAS REVERESED< INSTEAD OF A YOUNG MAN TRYING TO LOOK ON A WAY FORWARD> ITS AN ELDERLY MAN LOOKING BACK ON HIS LIFE AT THE END AND FEELING SAD BUT ALSO ASHAMED. AT THE NEED FOR MATERIAL THINGS OR STATUS TRENT SAYS THIS WAY TOTALLY WORKED AND IT BECAME HIS SONG> LOVE YA JOHNNY KEEP HANK AND AARON AND ALL THEM COMPANY TIL WE MAKE IT UP THERE TOO ;) sorry hit caps lock and didny want to retype in lowercase, so there's that... anyone else get those almost teary moments from mainly the flashbacks or old films in this video too? or the dumping of the wine glass is pretty cool as he looks at the camera eye level and fwd.. I need to look up this director too awesome but I hated seeing them have to lift Johnny up just to film this, uber sad but thanks for this amazing song its already got me through quite a bit, ciao.
would you please make a video about Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. The sad suicide of Tommy boys. Nobody else has covered this anywhere on RUclips. Thank you, Sal
After hearing the story behind the music video, it makes its use in the first trailer for the 2017 movie Logan even more sense. In Logan, Wolverine's health was declining as his healing factor was getting weaker and for decades it was fighting Adamantium poisoning but by the end of the film Wolverine's healing factor was basically gone and he was mortality wounded by his clone X-24
Mike Campbell (acoustic guitar) and Benmont Tench (piano, organ, mellotron) of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers played on the track. Smokey Hormel also played guitar on the track.
Johnny Cash didn’t just cover this song by NIN, he owned it. He then took it to his grave. It rests there with him now, where everyone we know, goes away in the end..
The music Videos for Johnny Cash’s Hurt and David Bowie’s Lazarus are some of the saddest, depressing and emotionally disturbing pieces of musical visual art in my opinion.
I listened to the 9 inch nails version. That one is hollow. It is just a song. It has no soul. I was actually shocked when I first heard the 9 inch nails version.
The background about him I already know. I'm 63. The other stuff the lady is narrating is not relative because she goes all over the place and speaks in question marks after every word????????????????? which is VERY Aggravating. She should narrate little girl books
If you want to know the saddest song I've ever known that's embodied most of the pain I've had in my life it's Atreyu moments Before Dawn give it a listen if you've ever been haunted all night and couldn't sleep or waited for someone to care who was never going to even waiting for yourself to care I played this song every morning at 4:00 a.m. didn't sleep a wink all night was drunk all day without touching a drink from the time I was 13 to the time I was 23 I was drinking myself to death
I like this Johnny cash song it makes me feel & think about all the fuck ups iv made in my own life & the destruction taken drugs has. However I like a few of johnny cash's songs like cocaine blues & a boy named sue that's a pukka song
This is my favorite video of yours yet! Also, it is a sad and fitting end to a career of the greatest legend of country since Hank Williams Senior.
We really appreciate your continued support for this channel. Means a lot. Thanks bid :)
You named both of the country musicians I listen to at all, actually ENJOY. I don't think of either as limited to a genre like country... Hank and Johnny totally transcend any attempt at labeling in the standard genres.
"Sad and fitting". Very appropriate.
“The saddest music video of all time.”
How could someone make a such bullshit sweeping statement?
Have he seen all the sad music videos from Asia, Latin and South America and Africa?
Western-centrism and narrow-mindedness is the only explanation for such a statement.
I've taken on this song as a personal anthem. My health is failing, mostly mental health but the rest is not far behind. I chase everyone away. I hirt them. I bring them down. But I'm grateful for this. A sadder story I have never heard.

Reznor s a douche for stealing the masterpiece !
no it is not , lex friedman interviewed cash producer about the song , maybe check it out
As emotional as this song is, i feel it's not meant to be a sad one. It's to mark a journey. A milestone.
I agree.

It's a song about self realization, figuring out that even if you could go back and change things, your p.o.s. self would find another way to F stuff up.
Very sad.

Hey Zola, here’s the good news. You didn’t have to be there to experience what J.R Cash was about. We have his legacy, his music. There are countless documentaries, books, live performances and interviews. He belongs to all of us and that means you as well. Seek and you will find. Happy hunting..

🙏 RIP John & June ✝️
Few songs make me feel so deeply. Thanks for this video. Interesting to hear some of the backstory that I didn’t know.
Glad you enjoyed it!
While I was too young to experience this great legend, my father-in-law has very fond memories of Johnny Cash. He loved to come up to Saskatchewan, Canada and spend time fishing in La Ronge.
My son hated county music his whole life till this song by Johnny came out. To my astonishment he went out and bought every one of his cds he could get his hands on. Lol.
Wow I love Johnny, that is an awesome recording of a beautiful song, I have cried every time I have played.
I cried the first time I saw the video and heard the song I always feel my chest tighten up but I know this song is a reflection of his journey through life.
a song that has a sad before and after being made.
I heard that Trent, the original writer of the song, after hearing Johnny's version said 'it's not my song anymore'.... It became Johnny, and Johnny became the song.
Hurt is my favourite video of Johnny Cash. Its as deep as his voice and strong as his legacy.
Amazing and speechless.. I cannot cry when listening to this song
I think you mean can't not cry.
You cannot stop* crying, is that what you mean?
A sad song for sure. Keep on moving people we only move forward. Something this song taught me. We should not have regrets as hard as that might be.
I knew this was NIN's song first but damn this remake is good. One of the best covers ever

LOVE "One Piece at a Time." My dad had a series of old Caddies and could fix anything that broke on them, and when I hear it I always think of him.
This song make's me depressed and my whole body just goosebumps 🎭
One of my favorite Johnny Cash songs is, "I Hung My Head"
Early one morning with time to kill
I borrowed Jeb's rifle and sat on the hill
I saw a lone rider crossing the plain
I drew a bead on him, to practice my aim
My brother's rifle went off in my hand
A shot rang out across the land
The horse, he kept running, the rider was dead

Legendary Mr Johnny Cash who was by multiple generations before mine regardless for me I hold him really close to my soul’s deepest treasures!!!!!
I really wish you kept the focus of this video on the subject.
I get that you guys want to advertise your own content, but sometimes it's better to tell just one story.

You gave us all a proper send off, and I will be front row at the first show in the sky that I can make it to. And I'll be fashionably late, no need to rush.
Greatest music video ever created. One of the most powerful pieces of media ever created.
Hold up from my understanding Rick Rubin is the one who asked Johnny Cash if he wanted to do the song.
Rubin produced it yes.
Johnny's voice sucks! But Clint Eastwood's is better
It was Trent Reznor who originally wrote it
Correct, Johnny didn't even like the idea at first because the genre was so far away from him. Rick Rubin was the one who wanted to do it and even had a hard time convincing Cash. Also Trent Reznor didn't "warm up" to the idea but rather downplayed the choice for himself by thinking the song would just be one of hundreds cover songs done by Cash so he actually didn't care too much about it.

The Greatest Musician Of All Time!
Rubin actually came up with the idea, Johnny needed convincing first and Trent was angry when he found out about the song until he saw the video. Easy interviews to find this stuff actually
This is great, except Cash didn't reach out to NIN to do the cover, Rick Rubin did.

Of course hearing that their real home burned down is even more depressing than hearing the House of Cash did.
All that said, it was a great documentary about an amazing video. It is sad, of course, as a tale of decisions made and regretted, but the choices you make form who you are as a whole. You can always second-guess them, but they are the fabric of your existence. We all crumble to dirt, and we all will lose many of those we love if we live long enough, but there is always hope and memories -- and if we're lucky, some younger family and friends -- to sustain us. At least that's what I hope as a man about to turn 55 and send my last kid off to college.
Johnny Cash Museum in Nashville reconstructed the living room wall with stones rescued from the fire. It's an amazing place. I live in DC and take my family down there to visit it every few years. The other extremely touching thing they have is the hand written eulogy for June's funeral. It's very touching.
i love ghost riders in the sky by johnny cash
Try on "Sam Stone" or "The Great Society Conflict" by John Prine. Truly a sad song about a Vietnam veteran that is underrated and overlooked.
"Asleep" from The Smiths ist also very very sad.
My favorite songs by Johnny Cash.
Studio recorded songs:
1.) Folsom Prison Blues (my number one favorite)
2.) Tennessee Flattop Box
3.) Train of Love
4.) Next In Line
5.) I Walk The Line
Live Performances
1.) Five Feet High and Rising (Star Route USA)
2.) Sunday Morning Coming Down (Tennessee State Prison)
(There's a whole lot more but these are what I put down off the top of my head)
"that song isn't mine anymore"
-Trent Reznor
Hurt is my favourite song, by far...
So amazing, I didn't know about June, that's sad.. I just remember enjoying seeing her in the video in real time as well as in many decades ago in the flashbacks during. Just her look as she stands over \ behind him, something raw and could not be acted anyone. Quick take... NIN being one of my all time favs too especially since Trent is so freaking talented, IN THE NIN VERSION< TRENT WROTE THE SONG FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A YOUNG EARLY 20's HEROIN ADDICT DEALING WITH LOSS AND EITHER SUBCONC OR EMOTIONALLY PUSHING PEOPLE AWAY> ITS MEANT TO SHOW HOW HARD IT IS SO EARLY IN LIFE TO LOOK FOR A BETTER WAY WHEN THINGS ARE BLEEK> WHEN JOHNNY TWEAKED IT AND PUT A WHOLE LOT OF THAT NON FAKE JUST MOJO IN THIS IT WAS REVERESED< INSTEAD OF A YOUNG MAN TRYING TO LOOK ON A WAY FORWARD> ITS AN ELDERLY MAN LOOKING BACK ON HIS LIFE AT THE END AND FEELING SAD BUT ALSO ASHAMED. AT THE NEED FOR MATERIAL THINGS OR STATUS TRENT SAYS THIS WAY TOTALLY WORKED AND IT BECAME HIS SONG> LOVE YA JOHNNY KEEP HANK AND AARON AND ALL THEM COMPANY TIL WE MAKE IT UP THERE TOO ;) sorry hit caps lock and didny want to retype in lowercase, so there's that... anyone else get those almost teary moments from mainly the flashbacks or old films in this video too? or the dumping of the wine glass is pretty cool as he looks at the camera eye level and fwd.. I need to look up this director too awesome but I hated seeing them have to lift Johnny up just to film this, uber sad but thanks for this amazing song its already got me through quite a bit, ciao.
it’s not sad, it’s beautiful
Funny, I yawn on the NIN version. The Cash version is awesome.
BEST VIDEO EVER!
would you please make a video about Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. The sad suicide of Tommy boys. Nobody else has covered this anywhere on RUclips. Thank you, Sal
This song say it all
A sad song that has had an unexpected happy ending (because of the video and the publicity the video got) is "Monsters" by James Blunt.
Im almost scared to watch it now.
Amazing that their house went down in a Ring of Fire
This song can only be truly understood by a very specific type of person.
I think its cool that nine inch nails let him cover this
After hearing the story behind the music video, it makes its use in the first trailer for the 2017 movie Logan even more sense. In Logan, Wolverine's health was declining as his healing factor was getting weaker and for decades it was fighting Adamantium poisoning but by the end of the film Wolverine's healing factor was basically gone and he was mortality wounded by his clone X-24
Mike Campbell (acoustic guitar) and Benmont Tench (piano, organ, mellotron) of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers played on the track. Smokey Hormel also played guitar on the track.
Which one wouldn’t you like? I haven’t heard one I didn’t like. Great man
Saturday morning coming down, lots of others
The only music video approaching the emotions of Johnny's is David Bowie, "Lazarus"
Johnny Cash didn’t just cover this song by NIN, he owned it. He then took it to his grave. It rests there with him now, where everyone we know, goes away in the end..
The music Videos for Johnny Cash’s Hurt and David Bowie’s Lazarus are some of the saddest, depressing and emotionally disturbing pieces of musical visual art in my opinion.
I hope everyone chases god and opens their heart to him
amazing
Trent Reznor also composed some of the main themes of Black ops 2
Who...anywhere...ever...didn't know this was a Nine Inch Nails song?
I listened to the 9 inch nails version. That one is hollow. It is just a song. It has no soul. I was actually shocked when I first heard the 9 inch nails version.
RIP to the Cashes
"Thats the way it is"
Its an RDR2 ingame song, but it still punches the soul
Beautiful song. The theme is very reflective of life and its reality....
The background about him I already know. I'm 63. The other stuff the lady is narrating is not relative because she goes all over the place and speaks in question marks after every word????????????????? which is VERY Aggravating. She should narrate little girl books
If you want to know the saddest song I've ever known that's embodied most of the pain I've had in my life it's Atreyu moments Before Dawn give it a listen if you've ever been haunted all night and couldn't sleep or waited for someone to care who was never going to even waiting for yourself to care I played this song every morning at 4:00 a.m. didn't sleep a wink all night was drunk all day without touching a drink from the time I was 13 to the time I was 23 I was drinking myself to death
Listen to I hung my head. In my opinion it is sadder. But both are good.
Check out' Tear stained letter ' and 'Papa was a good man ' --------- from album A thing called Love many years ago
Dang I miss Johnny
hey, i know I'm a bit late, but i want to say that the favorite cover song from Johnny Cash i heard was I won't back down.
I like this Johnny cash song it makes me feel & think about all the fuck ups iv made in my own life & the destruction taken drugs has. However I like a few of johnny cash's songs like cocaine blues & a boy named sue that's a pukka song
Portishead-Roads is one of the saddest as well
Skeeter Davis - The End of the World is the saddest song ever!
I do no think it was the House Of Cash that burned. It was the one by the lake on Caudill Drive.
Was, wasn't, Am confused!
Correct.
Life is painful
another man of God who went to be with the Lord
That sucks bro, that really sucks I thought that was his original
What is nice is Nine Inch Nails came out and stated that after Cash did the cover, it was his song. Not theirs anymore
@@TheSwiftyone a comment worth replying to, thank you
@@damonbeats6770 Trent Reznor specifically.
@@damonbeats6770 both did it good. Johnnys makes me cry almost everytime man
I hurt myself today, but it wasn't physical
Please raise you volume for those on notebooks!!!
Perhaps, but along with Tom Wait's "Georgia Lee".
Bruh why do I feel like Johnny cash and I’m only 15😭it’s not fair man
Trent may have written it but Cash made it his own.
Everybody knows that The Cure’s A Chain Of Flowers is the saddest song ever
The best song Johnny ever did was Hurt to this all will learn
Immortal technique dance with the devil is the saddest song
It isn't sad. It is prepering to journey.
