Nine Inch Nails- Hurt I chose this song because I’ve been dealing with a lot of pain and hurt so I wanted to hear something that was related to my situation
I saw NIN and Trent on Tuesday, and got to experience this song live. People love to say that Johnny Cash did it better and that it is now Johnny's song, but I just don't feel that way. Trent wrote it about his own experiences, and it will always be Trent's song. I like and appreciate Johnny's version, which is beautiful and heartfelt, but I will always prefer Trent's voice. All people are entitled to their opinions, obviously. And no one's is more right, except maybe Trent's.
Both songs are perfection. The idea anyone's stupid enough to even bother comparing the two is disgusting. Perhaps, as stand-alone songs, Johnny Cash's version is more thematically identifiable with a wider audience, as most people are understanding of the plights of growing old and the sadness that comes with it. But on the other hand, if you've experienced hard-hitting depression, nothing speaks to you so personally as Trent Reznor's version, there's very little else like it. It's also utterly unfair to compare them side-by-side when Hurt belongs to a concept album, and is considered one of the best closing songs to an album in modern music.
I LOVE this song and love NIN. That said, this is a great cover to the Johnny Cash version. I know this came out first but Johnny slayed it! Made it his! Trent wouldn't disagree either
Back in the mid nineties, to the first years of the 00'S everyone assumed Reznor was not going to live a long life. He abused himself terribly. It seemed like he had nothing in his life but music and put everything he had into it and it seemed so miserable at the time. I would check out the 2017 Panorama Festival rendition of it. Reznor at 52 years old, with a wife and children and some measure of normalcy now. His performances of Hurt is now recalling some of that Johnny Cash feeling. The hurt has subsided and it's become something of an expression of melancholy elation that he survived. Especially chilling is when at the point of the song where he sings "I am still right here", a fan screams back through the silence of the crowd "Yeah, you are!" All the feels right there. The Downward Spiral is a must to listen to in it's entirety. It''s a psychodrama of a journey leading up to Hurt. It's why Cash fans will never understand the appeal of the original. Hurt is a conclusion to a story. Not a song in itself. If you just want some songs to feel loss to I would say here are some Reznor songs I grieved to in the past : Something I Can Never Have (Still) Find My Way The Day The World Went Away I'm Looking Forward To Joining You, Finally In This Twilight Zero Sum Lights In The Sky A Minute To Breathe The Way Out Is Through My sympathies, and I hope everything gets to a state of better soon.
One of the reasons this song is timeless and considered one of the greatest songs ever written is because EVERYONE feels this hurt at some point. A feeling of worthlessness, emptiness and wanting to give up. Trent felt this when writing this song. It basically started as a journal entry for him. He didn’t care about it being a “hit” he just had this raw emotion he needed to get out. This song always helped me remember I am not the only one feeling how I feel. You are not either. We all struggle and need to find support in other people, music, the fight, or wherever you can find it.
I think people who suffer more on the inside will always be partial to Trent's version. His version comes from a place that is darker and scarier. But there is hope. They hear it and the song just speaks to them. Cash's version is beautiful in itself but his version is about a life lived, mistakes, regrets, joy, and the end of life. It's ok to appreciate both versions!
James, cheer up brother. That is what life is all about, how we react to pain and hurt. The better we react to it, the stronger we become. And when we have God in our corner, nothing can keep us down and there is no ass we can't kick. Use your pain and grow from it. Peace my brother.
Life is very hard. Many have been through some really dark times. Myself included. I've survived through a lot of trials throughout my life, and gained some wisdom from it. Other things still weigh on me daily, like mortality. Not that I fear death, but that there's so much I want to do, but I don't have the means or time to do it all, leaving me in a gridlock where I do almost nothing instead. Don't quit RUclips. Do it because you want to. Because you enjoy it. Bare your soul to your audience, and people will keep coming back. It takes courage to put your personal feelings out there for all to see. One song that helped me a lot was Metallica's Fade to Black. Anyways, stay strong, and that includes allowing yourself to be weak on occasion. Embrace the dark times, and remember them, because when you get to a place where you'll feel better, surviving the dark times will make you feel invincible.
I love watching your reactions because you come across as such a genuinly openhearted kind great person. Looking forward to see you more and hope life will soon gets easier for you and your family
It’s okay to take breaks, JB. If you don’t feel good, take care of yourself first. Everyone understands. Hope all is well, and you have more good days than the rough ones. God bless, heal and restore your weary soul to complete peace, contentment, beauty and happiness. Sincerely praying for you. 🌿🙏✝️😌 God _is_ with you, and _is_ for you.
We're here because we love you and enjoy seeing you light up when you hear something you've never heard before. It's like you're transported to another world, full of joy and beauty. Please continue to take us with you on this journey. You are never alone. We are here for you, and most importantly, God is with you every step of the way. Lots of love and hugs your way and prayers going up on your behalf.
Scroll down the comments . Look at the love people send you. It is all unconditional . You have a lot of courage for sharing something so personal. I admire you for that.
There is a quiet version that cuts that backdrop sound that plays throughout. Both verisons are great but one fits into the context of the album and the quiet version was for more of a single listen
been a nin fan for manny years. this is probably one of the deepest modern day songs. yet it works like an oldie. short lyrics with big stories. on this journy ive come to like your chanel very much. ive had reactions like this the first time i heard this song. i think it transmits stronger on the live version. on a more personal note i have also felt burried in despair. i used to go to church when i was younger but only out of tradition. i lived with hederitary depression for manny years triggered by heavy stuff and pain in life. tried therapy, alcohol, pills but nothing helped me live in calm. i know some folks wont agree with where this is going and i respect that. people react differently in life to similar things and as you said if you have something to say say it with care. well, the day i felt that i couldnt go on i prayed and put my life in Gods hands and looked for his guigance. up to today it has been the best thing ive ever done. i live with hope and calm besides the pain that life strikes. it has been awsome in my life and i just wanted to share that. hope and pray you stay strong. ps. asome vid on the sound of silence
I'm so sorry to hear things are rough for you right now. But I think most of us feel a closeness to you because you turn to music to help you cope. Isn't it funny how when we're down, we listen to sad songs and they somehow make us feel a little better? Reaction vids are a totally new genre to me, but I really enjoy experiencing others experiencing something for the first time - especially when it seems to mean as much to them as it means to me. Welcome back, stay strong, and please keep in mind that your fans here are all on your side, and we love what you do.
JB we all will go through those times in our lives. I’m 49, on my 4th marriage and went through and lost a lot along the way. Focus on the positive things in your life and the rough things shall pass. The key is learning from the ups as well as the downs. Glad to see you back. Keep moving forward you’ll look back in a few years and realize it makes you stronger. Keep your head up and keep pushing!!
Hi thank you soooo much for being truthful when you reviewed this song you didn't need to be but thankfully you did this song got me through my painful teen years dealing with sever physical, sexual, and emotional abuse most people hide their sorrows so it makes others feel alone in their struggles but EVERYONE goes throw pain the few who are blessed enough to ever feel happiness need to know how lucky they are thank you for speaking the truth it means so much... P.S. my wife almost drown today she was washed down a river firefighters pulled her from the water after 25 minutes she is recovering now but I am shattered I was asking God "why do I need to constantly rise above?" You reminded me that life is a fight and it's okay to feel lost at times all alone but that doesn't mean cruelty wins your words just means everything to me right now keep it up speak your truth it's helping more then you know
Hey, I just found your channel and have been bingeing on your videos. I'm far older than you so I have more years to look back on. You sir, are a fine, mature, expressive man! You impress me so much with your words and thoughts man! Lift your chin up and believe in yourself! God's got you!
PS - and if you know anyone where life is great and all of there problems are taken care of, those dudes grow up to be immature sissies. Take pride in your growth my brother, I embrace my pain because when I overcome it, I look in the mirror and I'm proud of what I see and I thank God.
I'm sorry you're going through a difficult time. I hope you find some comfort in the joy you bring to us, your subscribers. The emotion in your reactions is what makes you so special. There are so many of us that have been where you are now and have found comfort or at least the feeling of not being alone by listening to music. We understand and we appreciate you. Keep your head up! ✌❤
I feel you man. I know it’s been a while and I really really hope you’re doing better by now but i will tell you what I had to tell myself when I went through my hardest times: you will be ok. You will make it through. There’s no other choice but to keep going. Ive survived devastating heartbreak, loss of loved ones in every way, I’m currently recovering from a broken spine when a guy hit me on my motorcycle but I refuse to let it stop me. My hands are numb from the cold as I sit in my garage working on an old piano I’m restoring so that like myself it will once again look and sound as good as it ever has. Just gotta get out there give yer balls a tug and go kick life’s ass. It’s yours. Own it like it’s yours. You are not alone my friend.
You said that we lift you up. We all appreciate that. On the other hand, we are watching your videos because you lift us up. Stay positive my friend. When I see your reactions to great music, I feel like I'm looking at myself in a mirror. Keep up the great work.
Dude. A big virtual hug from me to you. I know you made this a year ago but please know you’re helping me because I’m hurting right now and having someone else who empathises is helping. I hope you’re doing good and thank you 💚
This whole album is a good outlet of anger and pain, you really get a feeling of him going into a downward spiral of self destruction, with the titles and lyrics, as well as the odd sound effects and instruments.
I randomly came across this video and I just wanted to say kudos to you for posting this and sharing your emotions. It's not easy to do something like that and you came across genuine and real. I hope things are better (or on the road to being better). Much respect!
I saw Trent Reznor & David Bowie sing this live, 20 years ago. I'm sorry for what you're going through. You're not alone. Hold strong, hold weak, just hold on.💜💙💚
We're here for you man. This is what music and art is for, to find an outlet or a voice/image to connect to, identify with. I just stumbled across your vids and what attracted me was your visible connection to the music. Focus on that, stay focused on that and you'll know you're not alone and there are millions of people feeling exactly what you're feeling. Life is hard, complicated and frustrating, but power through the dirt to see the stars.
I wish it was easy to reach out and connect with people who know what your going through. I've suffered from severe depression and anxiety disorders as long as I can remember. Meds don't help me. I don't have friends or family really. Videos like these where I feel an emotional connection help. I hope you continue to share your musical journey.
Brother, hang in and hang on. This my first of your videos, but you have a new sub. I appreciate your emotional honesty. The world crazy right now, but were all in this together dude. Big love to you.
Excellent excellent song. I’m an empath and I could tell when I first started watching your reaction to Elvis video, that you had pain and /or sadness in your eyes and facial expression. I’m sorry man for whatever you’re going through and I hope things improve for you soon. PLEASE watch R.E.M.: “Everybody Hurts” the performance at Glastonbury 2003 Even if you don’t show it as reaction video , I really think you should watch it Alone. With headphones. Peace and love to you man ! ✌️❤️🎶
Thank you for picking this beautiful, powerful song. I listened to it many times, as well as the album it is from, as a teenager. I can still relate very much to it all. I have a suggestion for a future reaction, that would be kind of an antidote to the darkness of this one song: Bjork, All is full of love (there is an official video as well that is worth seeing).
Keep your head up man ive lost both parents and my brother is no longer talking to me along with a breakup of 5 years so life isn't easy but it makes you stronger in the end going through hard times.We learn from the bad times.
I know this song well and had a feeling it would 'hurt a lot. For that reason I have avoided listening to this, and I apologise and am humbled by you honesty here. You have so much power inside, use some of it for yourself, just for you. You have the passion you need, we are all your witnesses to that. Take care x
Hang in there my friend we all have personal tragedy but you just have to lift your chin up Don't look down or backwards and keep living your life because it's in the end you're the only one left
I am sorry to hear you’ve been through some rough times lately sadly life gives no reprieve. But I’m glad you’re back and I hope to watch more reactions hear that your spirits are up
Dude I hope you found some help. I tell my friend that she needs some professional help. I'm bipolar and get the pain. Having someone there you can talk to, it makes a world of difference. I know the pain, I fast forward through the subscribe thing most guys give. Within 3 words, I knew you were hurting. To other people too, always know there are people out there. They want to listen. Silence is depression's weapon. There is nothing wrong with seeking help. These people that judge you. They are happy because they are blind and numb. I'm sorry man, I hope you found a friend ready to listen, or a councilor. This disease will literally kill you. Talking is depression's kryptonite. I am blessed with a beautiful friend. I am thankful daily for her graces. Brutal reaction video.
The Downward Spiral is an amazing work of art, many people prefer the Johnny Cash version of this song but this version will always hold a special place in my heart and my life. I wear this crown of shit, upon my liar's chair.
Wishing you wellness and peace in your life 🙏. Although a lot of people love the Johnny Cash version, this version is good too. Shows so much raw powerful emotion, you can actually feel it. I think both versions are good in their own unique ways.
This song is very freaking beautiful but can really take on a dark ride if you let it! Overall love the genuine reaction it is good to see new people get expose to this type of music because these beautiful songs get buried by the mainstream bullshit.
That's why some of these bands and songs mean so much to people. They were there for them when they were going through some stuff. People say the Cash version is better. Trent actually wrote this song and felt it and meant it.
chin up my friend. don't let stuff beat you down. Wear it as a shield and bring good to to other people. Be strong, just, honest and don't flinch. You'll overcome that, you just don't know it yet
Don't quit what you love. Know that there are thousands of people that love and care for you here!!! I completely understand what you're going through and it'll all work out in the end...I know sometimes it doesn't seem like it but it does. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day my friend!!! 😊😊😊😊 🐧🐧🐧
So now you reacted to the Original from Trend Reznor and the Cover by Johnny Cash.....both are pure emotion....a story of life for a lot of people like me and you.....words you never ever forget again....THANX!
Life is hard. My first time seeing you on this and I wish the best. EDIT: also, I don't know where you are but if you're near and I'm out to hang I'll let you know. His NIN Pretty Hate Machine is something to listen to. BTW he made that all by himself, instrumentation, etc. Glad you're back even though this is the first viewing. Good luck to things.
We're here with you. Some of us (probably most of us?) have been through the darkest times. Remember, this too shall pass. I love Nine in Nail's original, but wow, when Johnny Cash sang it at the end of his life, my husband and I cried and still do when we listen to it.
Keep your head up, friend. Thank you so much for sharing a part of yourself. You aren't alone. I know it's been a while since you posted this, but if you need someone to talk to, reach out. I'll listen, message me if you need to talk.
I dig your stuff man and sorry that you've been blue, I get the same way many times. NIN , while often times good sonic therapy can definitely bring out the darker emotions when one is feeling down. Maybe something uplifting like Hatebreed if you wanna hear some hardcore metal. Often times works for me when I feel horribly depressed. Also, don't overlook the last lyric of Hurt... "I will find a way", It's always made the song positive to me.
Im glad to meet ya. I love Nine inche nails,,this song isnt my fav but I always feel it but I love Johnny Cashes version ~Try "Pain" from Snow Patrol ~ Id rather feel pain than nothing at all ,,,Big ole hugs to ya
Jam to korn first album and issues follow the leader and untouchables most importantly thoses albums helped me feel less alone. Beware of the downward spiral it’s really dark also I love the downward spiral but I feel like the more I listen to it the more my mind goes missing. :o enjoy this amazing music. Music can help us feel less lonely because music can show us we can relate the fore we are not entirely alone. :)
I saw NIN and Trent on Tuesday, and got to experience this song live. People love to say that Johnny Cash did it better and that it is now Johnny's song, but I just don't feel that way.

@Ali SolmazAnd that's his opinion
Totally agree, I like Johnny and I like his version, but it is def still trends song
I love both versions. I like to think of them as different time periods in life.
I LOVE this song and love NIN. That said, this is a great cover to the Johnny Cash version. I know this came out first but Johnny slayed it! Made it his! Trent wouldn't disagree either
Hang in there, man. Glad to see you're here and we can see you being introduced to and enjoy good music! Take care.
Back in the mid nineties, to the first years of the 00'S everyone assumed Reznor was not going to live a long life. He abused himself terribly. It seemed like he had nothing in his life but music and put everything he had into it and it seemed so miserable at the time.

The Downward Spiral is a must to listen to in it's entirety. It''s a psychodrama of a journey leading up to Hurt. It's why Cash fans will never understand the appeal of the original. Hurt is a conclusion to a story. Not a song in itself.
If you just want some songs to feel loss to I would say here are some Reznor songs I grieved to in the past :
Something I Can Never Have (Still)
Find My Way
The Day The World Went Away
I'm Looking Forward To Joining You, Finally
In This Twilight
Zero Sum
Lights In The Sky
A Minute To Breathe
The Way Out Is Through
My sympathies, and I hope everything gets to a state of better soon.
He Did It.! He gave a reaction to the album version of Hurt! god damn this is so rare and should not be.
One of the reasons this song is timeless and considered one of the greatest songs ever written is because EVERYONE feels this hurt at some point. A feeling of worthlessness, emptiness and wanting to give up. Trent felt this when writing this song. It basically started as a journal entry for him.
He didn’t care about it being a “hit” he just had this raw emotion he needed to get out.
This song always helped me remember I am not the only one feeling how I feel. You are not either. We all struggle and need to find support in other people, music, the fight, or wherever you can find it.
Focus on the love. It's the only thing that helps get through/past the pain. The love 💌
I think people who suffer more on the inside will always be partial to Trent's version. His version comes from a place that is darker and scarier. But there is hope. They hear it and the song just speaks to them. Cash's version is beautiful in itself but his version is about a life lived, mistakes, regrets, joy, and the end of life. It's ok to appreciate both versions!
Music is one of the few ways I’ve tried that successfully nullifies pain, the best part is it’s harmless to you.
James, cheer up brother. That is what life is all about, how we react to pain and hurt. The better we react to it, the stronger we become. And when we have God in our corner, nothing can keep us down and there is no ass we can't kick. Use your pain and grow from it. Peace my brother.
Life is very hard. Many have been through some really dark times. Myself included. I've survived through a lot of trials throughout my life, and gained some wisdom from it. Other things still weigh on me daily, like mortality. Not that I fear death, but that there's so much I want to do, but I don't have the means or time to do it all, leaving me in a gridlock where I do almost nothing instead.

Your honesty is beautiful. Keep your head up, and continue to find solace in the plethora of wonderful music that’s out there.
I love watching your reactions because you come across as such a genuinly openhearted kind great person. Looking forward to see you more and hope life will soon gets easier for you and your family
It’s okay to take breaks, JB. If you don’t feel good, take care of yourself first. Everyone understands. Hope all is well, and you have more good days than the rough ones. God bless, heal and restore your weary soul to complete peace, contentment, beauty and happiness. Sincerely praying for you. 🌿🙏✝️😌 God _is_ with you, and _is_ for you.

Keep your head man and don't shut out those that love you. I battle depression every day and I understand how hard it can get but keep at man.
Scroll down the comments . Look at the love people send you. It is all unconditional .
You have a lot of courage for sharing something so personal. I admire you for that.
You should really listen to the entire album. Its a concept album, so its best to listen to the entire thing for the proper context.
There is a quiet version that cuts that backdrop sound that plays throughout. Both verisons are great but one fits into the context of the album and the quiet version was for more of a single listen
been a nin fan for manny years. this is probably one of the deepest modern day songs. yet it works like an oldie. short lyrics with big stories. on this journy ive come to like your chanel very much. ive had reactions like this the first time i heard this song. i think it transmits stronger on the live version. on a more personal note i have also felt burried in despair. i used to go to church when i was younger but only out of tradition. i lived with hederitary depression for manny years triggered by heavy stuff and pain in life. tried therapy, alcohol, pills but nothing helped me live in calm. i know some folks wont agree with where this is going and i respect that. people react differently in life to similar things and as you said if you have something to say say it with care. well, the day i felt that i couldnt go on i prayed and put my life in Gods hands and looked for his guigance. up to today it has been the best thing ive ever done. i live with hope and calm besides the pain that life strikes. it has been awsome in my life and i just wanted to share that. hope and pray you stay strong. ps. asome vid on the sound of silence
Damn that song is intense and so was your reaction. Thanks brother.
I'm glad you're back! And I understand those feelings. I have those moments, too.
I'm so sorry to hear things are rough for you right now. But I think most of us feel a closeness to you because you turn to music to help you cope. Isn't it funny how when we're down, we listen to sad songs and they somehow make us feel a little better? Reaction vids are a totally new genre to me, but I really enjoy experiencing others experiencing something for the first time - especially when it seems to mean as much to them as it means to me. Welcome back, stay strong, and please keep in mind that your fans here are all on your side, and we love what you do.
One of my favorites. His intention with sounds and lyrics is unreal. Also, you got this 💪🏼 ❤️
JB we all will go through those times in our lives. I’m 49, on my 4th marriage and went through and lost a lot along the way. Focus on the positive things in your life and the rough things shall pass. The key is learning from the ups as well as the downs. Glad to see you back. Keep moving forward you’ll look back in a few years and realize it makes you stronger. Keep your head up and keep pushing!!
Hi thank you soooo much for being truthful when you reviewed this song you didn't need to be but thankfully you did this song got me through my painful teen years dealing with sever physical, sexual, and emotional abuse most people hide their sorrows so it makes others feel alone in their struggles but EVERYONE goes throw pain the few who are blessed enough to ever feel happiness need to know how lucky they are thank you for speaking the truth it means so much... P.S. my wife almost drown today she was washed down a river firefighters pulled her from the water after 25 minutes she is recovering now but I am shattered I was asking God "why do I need to constantly rise above?" You reminded me that life is a fight and it's okay to feel lost at times all alone but that doesn't mean cruelty wins your words just means everything to me right now keep it up speak your truth it's helping more then you know
It is hard sometimes. This album got me through some times. Sometimes it helps you just let it out. Thanks for sharing.
3 years later just now seeing this after seeing newer videos of yours . Your still here doing it! Be proud and thank you for the inspiration
You're back!!! And you've got NIN!!!
Don't go. We ❤you.
Thankyou for sharing your pain, your'e not alone. And thankyou for choosing the original version of this song to react to
Hey, I just found your channel and have been bingeing on your videos. I'm far older than you so I have more years to look back on. You sir, are a fine, mature, expressive man! You impress me so much with your words and thoughts man! Lift your chin up and believe in yourself! God's got you!
PS - and if you know anyone where life is great and all of there problems are taken care of, those dudes grow up to be immature sissies. Take pride in your growth my brother, I embrace my pain because when I overcome it, I look in the mirror and I'm proud of what I see and I thank God.
I'm sorry you're going through a difficult time. I hope you find some comfort in the joy you bring to us, your subscribers. The emotion in your reactions is what makes you so special. There are so many of us that have been where you are now and have found comfort or at least the feeling of not being alone by listening to music. We understand and we appreciate you. Keep your head up! ✌❤
I feel you man. I know it’s been a while and I really really hope you’re doing better by now but i will tell you what I had to tell myself when I went through my hardest times: you will be ok. You will make it through. There’s no other choice but to keep going. Ive survived devastating heartbreak, loss of loved ones in every way, I’m currently recovering from a broken spine when a guy hit me on my motorcycle but I refuse to let it stop me. My hands are numb from the cold as I sit in my garage working on an old piano I’m restoring so that like myself it will once again look and sound as good as it ever has.

Chin up, brother. All the best mate. 💙
this song taps into every recovering drug addict. I've been clean for 12 years and still cry everytime I hear it
Dude. A big virtual hug from me to you. I know you made this a year ago but please know you’re helping me because I’m hurting right now and having someone else who empathises is helping. I hope you’re doing good and thank you 💚
This whole album is a good outlet of anger and pain, you really get a feeling of him going into a downward spiral of self destruction, with the titles and lyrics, as well as the odd sound effects and instruments.

Hold strong, hold weak, just hold on.💜💙💚
You are my favorite reaction channel. You have an honest and pure love of music. I pray all is well for you and that you keep doing these videos.
We're here for you man. This is what music and art is for, to find an outlet or a voice/image to connect to, identify with.

Focus on that, stay focused on that and you'll know you're not alone and there are millions of people feeling exactly what you're feeling. Life is hard, complicated and frustrating, but power through the dirt to see the stars.
Glad you chose this song, it’s a beauty!!! Hope you are doing better these days. 1❤
I wish it was easy to reach out and connect with people who know what your going through. I've suffered from severe depression and anxiety disorders as long as I can remember. Meds don't help me. I don't have friends or family really. Videos like these where I feel an emotional connection help. I hope you continue to share your musical journey.
Brother, hang in and hang on. This my first of your videos, but you have a new sub. I appreciate your emotional honesty. The world crazy right now, but were all in this together dude. Big love to you.
Tears are good, I love you man IDC just keep doing it
Shit man ... I'm a year and some change late but I sincerely hope you're better now and thing are looking up!
Excellent excellent song. I’m an empath and I could tell when I first started watching your reaction to Elvis video, that you had pain and /or sadness in your eyes and facial expression. I’m sorry man for whatever you’re going through and I hope things improve for you soon. PLEASE watch R.E.M.: “Everybody Hurts” the performance at Glastonbury 2003 Even if you don’t show it as reaction video , I really think you should watch it Alone. With headphones. Peace and love to you man ! ✌️❤️🎶
Everyone can tell other people's expressions. You are not special.
Thank you for picking this beautiful, powerful song. I listened to it many times, as well as the album it is from, as a teenager. I can still relate very much to it all. I have a suggestion for a future reaction, that would be kind of an antidote to the darkness of this one song: Bjork, All is full of love (there is an official video as well that is worth seeing).
Subbed. One of the greatest songs of all time
Keep your head up man ive lost both parents and my brother is no longer talking to me along with a breakup of 5 years so life isn't easy but it makes you stronger in the end going through hard times.We learn from the bad times.
So glad to see you healthy and here!❤️
I know this song well and had a feeling it would 'hurt a lot. For that reason I have avoided listening to this, and I apologise and am humbled by you honesty here. You have so much power inside, use some of it for yourself, just for you. You have the passion you need, we are all your witnesses to that. Take care x
Stay Strong BRUDDAH ☆》》》 the world needs you!
Hang in there my friend we all have personal tragedy but you just have to lift your chin up Don't look down or backwards and keep living your life because it's in the end you're the only one left
Tom is so awesome about reaching out to people to give emotional support too.
I am sorry to hear you’ve been through some rough times lately sadly life gives no reprieve. But I’m glad you’re back and I hope to watch more reactions hear that your spirits are up
This album saved my life mate. Check out the whole thing in context if you haven’t already. Hang on in there mate. Lots of love. X
Dude I hope you found some help. I tell my friend that she needs some professional help. I'm bipolar and get the pain. Having someone there you can talk to, it makes a world of difference. I know the pain, I fast forward through the subscribe thing most guys give. Within 3 words, I knew you were hurting. To other people too, always know there are people out there. They want to listen. Silence is depression's weapon. There is nothing wrong with seeking help. These people that judge you. They are happy because they are blind and numb. I'm sorry man, I hope you found a friend ready to listen, or a councilor. This disease will literally kill you. Talking is depression's kryptonite. I am blessed with a beautiful friend. I am thankful daily for her graces. Brutal reaction video.
good to see you back, man! 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' and 'Please Let Me Get What I Want' by The Smiths are medicine for the soul ;)
I’m so glad you didn’t quit! You bring so much joy!
Good to see you at 70+k subs! Keep at it dude!
Jumping in to make sure you're doing better my friend from across the world. :)
Damn man you hit me with the feels
New subscriber here
You got a great heart and great soul
Keep the music coming NIN is amazing
Music is great therapy 👍👍👍👍👍
yo I hope you get to feeling better, man! much love & respect ❤❤❤
The Downward Spiral is an amazing work of art, many people prefer the Johnny Cash version of this song but this version will always hold a special place in my heart and my life. I wear this crown of shit, upon my liar's chair.
We are your meds, so don't forget to take us
Rob Jay beautiful sentiment
Wishing you wellness and peace in your life 🙏. Although a lot of people love the Johnny Cash version, this version is good too. Shows so much raw powerful emotion, you can actually feel it. I think both versions are good in their own unique ways.
Sorry to hear you have been feeling blue, I hope things get better for you really soon. I am thrilled that you are back tho’!!
Beautiful song, one of my favorites. Hope you doing better man. Like Bob said, every little things gonna be alright.
This song is very freaking beautiful but can really take on a dark ride if you let it! Overall love the genuine reaction it is good to see new people get expose to this type of music because these beautiful songs get buried by the mainstream bullshit.
That's why some of these bands and songs mean so much to people. They were there for them when they were going through some stuff. People say the Cash version is better. Trent actually wrote this song and felt it and meant it.
chin up my friend. don't let stuff beat you down. Wear it as a shield and bring good to to other people. Be strong, just, honest and don't flinch. You'll overcome that, you just don't know it yet
I was going through a really bad depression when I first heard this song. It helped hearing it.
I’m sorry you’re hurt. I hope you’re better now brother.
Don't quit what you love. Know that there are thousands of people that love and care for you here!!! I completely understand what you're going through and it'll all work out in the end...I know sometimes it doesn't seem like it but it does. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day my friend!!! 😊😊😊😊 🐧🐧🐧
Bless you this is deep❤️🔥
Sending love and prayers your way.
keep your head up man, it always gets better. It can be a grind, and we all get down sometimes.
I'm glad to see you back. I hope you don't quit, I just subscribed a few days ago.
I love you. I hope you’re doing better man.
So now you reacted to the Original from Trend Reznor and the Cover by Johnny Cash.....both are pure emotion....a story of life for a lot of people like me and you.....words you never ever forget again....THANX!
Life is hard. My first time seeing you on this and I wish the best. EDIT: also, I don't know where you are but if you're near and I'm out to hang I'll let you know. His NIN Pretty Hate Machine is something to listen to. BTW he made that all by himself, instrumentation, etc. Glad you're back even though this is the first viewing. Good luck to things.
We're always here! Please be well and take care! We're always here! Keep that in mind :)
We're here with you. Some of us (probably most of us?) have been through the darkest times. Remember, this too shall pass.
I love Nine in Nail's original, but wow, when Johnny Cash sang it at the end of his life, my husband and I cried and still do when we listen to it.
You are amazing we are here for you
Keep on doing what you’re doing chief things will turn around.
Father loves all. Love solves all. Don't know you, but I have some depression, and I love you.
I was having hard time in 2019, and that's when I found this song too...
Keep your head up, friend. Thank you so much for sharing a part of yourself. You aren't alone. I know it's been a while since you posted this, but if you need someone to talk to, reach out. I'll listen, message me if you need to talk.
Anti bully why ive been a korn fan for so long shine champ🔥🔥❤️
This song does the same thing to me. And yeah, the cash cover takes it to another level.
Keep you’re chin up mate. You’re not alone x
I dig your stuff man and sorry that you've been blue, I get the same way many times. NIN , while often times good sonic therapy can definitely bring out the darker emotions when one is feeling down. Maybe something uplifting like Hatebreed if you wanna hear some hardcore metal. Often times works for me when I feel horribly depressed. Also, don't overlook the last lyric of Hurt... "I will find a way", It's always made the song positive to me.
Love ya, glad to see you're back, all here for ya.
Im glad to meet ya. I love Nine inche nails,,this song isnt my fav but I always feel it but I love Johnny Cashes version ~Try "Pain" from Snow Patrol ~ Id rather feel pain than nothing at all ,,,Big ole hugs to ya
Jam to korn first album and issues follow the leader and untouchables most importantly thoses albums helped me feel less alone. Beware of the downward spiral it’s really dark also I love the downward spiral but I feel like the more I listen to it the more my mind goes missing. :o enjoy this amazing music. Music can help us feel less lonely because music can show us we can relate the fore we are not entirely alone. :)
I've been there. Hang in there bud. Music heals.
Nice to see someone do the original.
