  • Liked your rendition

  • love it =)

  • @BozourMinou - Like I said, respect to Trent for writing it but Cash just did the more heartfelt version...possibly because of his age but also because he's a better singer. It's just a comment. More to the point that this version doesn't work. Whatever!

  • @andrewfberg I feel like ... Reznor's voice is so ... Painful, i don't know ... His voice makes the song.

  • this is fucking garbage i know this asshole wrote the song but have u actually compared them holy fuck this guy better than Johnny cash what a fucking joke why doese everyone care who wrote it johnny perfected it my ears are bleeding from hearing that asshole butcher this song which is pathetic since its his own song

  • Cash sings it the best.

    Your piano is terrible!

  • Great!! Where did you get these song notes from?

  • Tune Your Guitar

  • Very good, pianomanJM!

  • Johnny cash's version is still fucking better. And i think its hilarious you used wikipedia as a reference.

  • @MrCrex94 To right!!! the reason why people think cash wrote this is because his is the better sounding one and has alot more heart in to it. And hell i only know of nine inch nails because of cash so thats saying something

  • @MrCrex94 Cash's is the best version... respect to Trent for writing it but he's not Cash.

    This version sounds horrible.

  • @andrewfberg yo stop being so historical! Cash's version can't be the best because he used to be the best!!! the meaning of this songs means way much more for Trend than for Johnny. You love the song not only because ur ears do but because ur mind do too...Cash's version is really something amazing..but just stop comparing.

  • Trent Reznor - NIN wrote the song!!!!!!!

  • @ShivaFlyyy who cares?

  • @ItzTrey3 because everyone thinks Johnny Cash wrote it! -.-

  • Respect Johnny Cash Memory!!!!

  • its not tormented enough.

  • @whiteej21 I like the way you think.

  • pretty hands and pretty tune =D lol

  • Great performance, but isn't your piano a bit out of tune?

  • you need a better camera and better sound!

  • Great job! (:

  • beautiful

  • I love the way you shoot this video. I love the piano and l love men who play it too x Good stuffs :P

  • I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore… It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone.

  • good, but tune your piano next time

  • personally i didnt like it entirely. tempo, and way too many unneccesary notes. sry. i think you should have maintained trent reznors style of minimalistic sound picking and non-trival harmony. thats my opinion, anyway i see ur a great pianist anyway

  • Amazing!

  • I think it's an awesome job.

  • your piano is detuned

  • this is nice you did a good job.

  • ummm... NO

    David Bowie did in the 70's. learn your music history before trying to post something.

  • You play beautifully.

  • Iknow noone who thinks johnny wrote this, people who listen to country only dont count.great song johnny put more feeling in it and Trent will tell you that.

  • @stangzilla331 You're right. There have been several interviews where Reznor has said it was like the song was made for Cash to sing.

  • good 5/5 i have same bracelet :P

  • Beautiful.

  • nice version...

  • i love this song nice job on the piano ,

  • piano tuner, hire one.

  • such a beautiful cover i love it so much - u play so fluently where did u get the music frm? store or website - if website could u link me pls <3<3 thank you though for such a fab version xxx

  • it's funny how many people think Johnny Cash wrote the song. fuckin hilarious. we love you Trent.

    ps.  this was very well played and sounded beautiful.

  • I know right. Johnny Cash doesn't pit as much emotion as Trent. GO TRENT! YOU FUCKING ROCK!

  • @JimmyDiggs87 well... Johnny Cash made it like a thousand times better..

  • @JimmyDiggs87 people think cash wrote it because cash sings it with 20 times the conviction renzor does

  • @JimmyDiggs87 SO FUCKIN HILARIOUS AS SOON AS SOMEBODY SAID IT I STARTED LAUGHING SO HARD MY DICK FELL OFF HAHA HILARIOUS SHIT, HOLY FUCK IT WAS SO FUNNY.

  • @JimmyDiggs87

    Johnny Cash didn't write the song; he made it better.

    And that's not me saying that; its Trent. ;)

  • @BeethovenVEVO

    I'm not saying Johnny Cash didn't do a great job with the song, I just wish people wouldn't forget so easily who originally created it.

    Johnny Cash is a legend and I'm glad he covered it.

  • @JimmyDiggs87 I heard that some kids would say to David Bowie, ''I love your version of Nirvana's Man who sold the world'' sad..... Music should be taught as part of history in school.... what else than music has ever moved the human soul?

  • @JimmyDiggs87 Yeah but it sounds better with johnny singing it.

  • Sheryl Crow also nailed this tune during a Johnny Cash tribute show. Great freaking song. Great musicians. Excellent piano playing dude.

  • u left out the high notes! how can u play half the song?? you took away the best part of the song. tut tut

  • There is two versions I play. The other version has the notes you want....tut tut

  • hahaha... tut tut

  • @pianomanJM You should have had both versions.

  • @pianomanJM nice work, wish i cud play like that

  • @blacktiara2

    Yeah because.. like.. Johnny Cash made it famous and thats what really matters... :S

    He didn't make it as much as I didn't paint the Mona Lisa...

  • @blacktiara2 wrong, NIN made this song

  • @blacktiara2 Trent Reznor made this song.

  • This is a Nine Inch Nails Song. Johnny Cash did the cover...

  • The Original "Hurt" IS from Trent Reznor and his band Nine Inch Nails. ;)

    Johnny Cash's Version is great, too! But he covered it from Nine Inch Nails. ;)

  • @ Lazysreality : search for "Johnny Cash - Hurt (Commentary by Trent Reznor)" here on youtube. :D

  • do some research, lazysreality....dumbass

  • @Lazysreality Actually, the original was by Nine Inch Nails, but Johnny's cover is still very good.

  • WOW UR A FOOL

  • Trent wrote this song, Johnny Cash did a cover of it ...

  • I love how your piano is one of those ones with a distinct sound. I want to say old-timey, but mine's over 100 years old and doesn't sound like that.

  • qwite luvli i liked that u didna even try 2 signa nd all the little stumbles and imperfections made it +beaut

  • i find that cash's verison is to easy, 3 chords? :P LOL

    but i do like cash's version, i just find NiN's version has a distortion of bass, and is like s3x tomy ears :)

  • I'm a huge NIN fan but I agree Cash did a great (ahem, better) job of covering it. The emotion and regret was so intense.

    Reznor in 20/30 years time?

  • awesome job on the piano!

  • Very nice!!

  • yeah, sad but true, its right, cash didn't write this song... but, sorry, normally i don't like the copy of songs, but i love the cash version more than the one of NIN....

  • wasnt made for johnny cash.

  • good job.. and only an idiot would believe cash wrote this.. dont get me wrong cash is good but he couldn't reach lyrics on this level... r.i.p cash...

  • or an IQ on this level .. I mean the cowboy can play a couple chords but he has the vocabulary and mentality of an illiterate redneck..

  • i just want to say this song was made for Mr cash! i love this one but johnny cash made it great,

  • well done!!

  • this is painfully good

  • you did a great job. awesome!

  • I was going for a more classical sound and you definatly have it I would be singing the vocals ofcourse

  • I have being meaning to make a cover of my own but I have no one who plays and insturment and knows how to play this song lol would you be intersted?

  • I like it I would love to ad some vocals to this piece

  • indeed, very nice. but yeah, could do with sorting out your strings, still... very nice to hear the vocal part played on piano.

    keep up the good work man.

  • Nice work, but tune your piano.

  • i think it adds to it, personally i love out of tune pianos :]

  • um ... you do know jonny cash did tha cover .....

  • Stop trollin'

  • its the other way around johnn cash made a cover of this song 4m nin

  • wow, i hope you are kidding.. if not, you are an idiot

  • i hope your joking

  • You got talent. Anyway I don´t see why so bitter about the autorness of the song, never heard of someona complaining about that, as the disc of Johny Cash wich include hurt only contains covers.

  • is this bby nin or johnny cash

  • Comment removed

  • it was written by trent reznor of nine inch nails and played by him for years befor Cash picked it up and covered it...

  • @ledgeskateteam001 nin silly

  • Really, really nice. Thanks for this.

  • my god your hands are beautiful

  • yes, haunting...wow. Great job. Thank you for making this and sharing your talent with us!

  • Really good version of Hurt there mate....really well played, very haunting, I think Trent would love to listen to this version, he'd be pleased at the interpretation....excellent video as well

  • no chit dude...

  • i love how its played on an old, detuned piano, it gives it that melodramatic, antiquated edge that goes so well with the song :)

    Good job!

  • that's a clean camera recording, and very well played!

  • Out of tuneeee piano :)

  • awesome^^

  • this is tight.. i like the piano wish i had one that sound like that..

  • FuckMyLife

  • I bet that proving Cash made a better version makes your life a lot better.

    stupid internetz.

  • I loved the Cash version, and honestly think it was a great honor for NIN to have Cash cover it, and making it the last video Cash made before his death is like wow, I saw the video n it got to me

  • Comment removed

  • No he didn't. Johnny had to get permision to cover it.

  • No he didn't, Johnny Cash only covered it for one of his two cover albums before his death

  • that makes no sense

  • nutthing aginsit cash but NIN owned this one cashes verson is faster then this one so it matters wat you like

  • Is this the greatest song ever made??? I just heard this song done on the harp, it was so sad. /watch?v=r9LrYJAd51g

  • Nice job. I love artists that can say so much without saying anything at all.. Like whale and wasp by alice in chains...

  • i want your bracelet o.0

  • Such a wide range of emotion in this, very well done. It's amazing how much can be said without words, just the piano talking.

  • lovely :) jus lovely <3

  • Nice smooth steady tempo the whole time. Great job.

  • Such a touching melody. You are very talented

  • i'd like to be able to play the piano just for this song.

  • brilliant cover of my favourite all time song i mean trents version is so much better than cashs beautiful stuff please check out my music

  • sounds like helen keller tuned your piano

  • yah thats true well i like both just cashes version just hits me better

  • i like johnny cashes version better

  • I love them both equally. It's amazing how you can listen to the same song, from two different artists, and think of different things for the two.

  • I love it. <3

  • Nice, very nice! I agree that it sounds more faithful to the original untuned...

  • loooove it!!!

  • dude tune the piano

  • but it sounds prettier untuned :[

  • nice job!

  • great work, keep it up

  • don't worry about the audio i think it sounds much much better.

  • there is a hurt version on my profil pleas check it out johnny high - hurt

  • Very nice lol How Did it taste

  • Very much like sushi just without the rice and ginger.

  • Holy shit i bet that tasted good.

  • lol

  • agreed...both versions are good, even is cash DIDNT write it...also agreed that the audio is kinda crappy on this version...and cash fans are WAY nicer! haha

  • You did a great job.... the audio on this video is kinda crappy though.

  • Congratulations on a nice version, do you play shows?

  • This is good! I love this song so much! You did an awesome job!

  • haha hakkespade im right there with you man everybody can cut the emo shit and stop acting like they are cool,but too bad because you're not.shut the hell up and listen to the music!!!!

  • it was Trent Reznor's song originally, Johnny Cash covered it right before he passed away, it was his last song

  • where can I find this sheet music online for free??

  • *Sigh*. Yes he did.

  • Meant to say Cash didn't write the original... it was a typo

  • Superb work, nicely themed video, it gets to the bone of this track.... thanks a lot for your version I really love it... to all you hatters: stop spreading that crap about emo, or if NIN or Cash s version is better... both are equally amazing...

  • Love NIN! Love this song!

  • This is really good not it's not good. It's fantastically beautiful, and can not be out done!

  • please stop with the emo shit....makes me sick that people have to label everything..

    just shut the fuck up and enjoy the music

    by the way this was beautiful:)

  • lol. thanks

  • Breath-Taking :O

  • very nice

  • It's a NIN song. Trent Reznor wrote it and recorded it for the album The Downward Spiral in 1994. J.C. made a cover of this song in 2002.

  • No Trent Reznor was 24 not 6, and he did write the original for the 1994 album The Downward Spiral... get your facts straight

  • wasnt this johnny cash?

  • no buddy , trent reznor, head man of NIN wrote this song like 8 years before Cash did his cover

  • your an idiot
