  • love the end of this song, wen u can hear bono`s vocals. brillant song writing by bono and u2.. and 2 get johnny cash 2 sing it makes it even better..

  • I love the vocalizations in the background throughout, always has been my favorite component of this song

  • I remember hearing this for the 1st time in 1994 and it floored me, it still does today. They may not be Johnny's words, but I believe they matched his soul at the time. I like his version of Hurt, but this sounds like a song written for only for Johnny.

  • @squeekyp10 Me too. I was really young at the time and kind of knew who Johnny Cash was, but still connected with me. I don't know why. Now that I'm older, this song resonates even deeper.

  • Who doesn't Johnny inspire?

    

  • @chigon89 He does! :0)

  • So many great metaphores in this song..I like to write poetry my self..Johnny you are immortalized by your words and music forever...You are a legend who can never die..I will never forget you..When i hear you sing i think of my grandpa,,thanks Mr.Cash for that..Peaceout and godspeed

  • wonderful

    

  • u could just tell that U2 was in the background lol

  • outstanding

  • four thumbs up!!!

  • Brilliant !!

  • 4:07 to 4:20 gives me chills every single time...Just an amazing song

  • mein got me gusta see what i did there 2 languages lol

  • Absolutely OK.

  • I like this

  • just one world,haunting -corncrake19

  • are you a cloth eared nincompoop?????

  • What a bloody copy of a great song.google Leonard cohen and Suzanne.

    U will see Johnny Cash wasn't so original after all.

  • @mrfitness2008 you should be blasted to smithereens and re-created into a working substitute of yourself with a working brain

  • @Forvolet fucking freak

  • @mrfitness2008 Wheres we do not stomach Lady Gahgah exactly because she is not original (at all), we like Johnny Cash because he was both original and a great performer. Covering other people's songs could be just a sign of appreciation.

    And truly great Mr Cohen himself would use other people's materials, too (Byron, Cavafy, Antoine Gérin-Lajoie etc.).

  • RIP Johnny and June....They've influenced so many...great vid...dont know how u got it so literal?! haha

  • fuacking brilliant. no more words needed

  • @neocant1 Just one - absolutely.

  • I love Johnny Cash and I love U2 =)

  • Comment removed

  • If this song hadn't happened, there's a chance that Johnny's whole collaboration with Rick Rubin wouldn't have happened. Johnny had one of the greatest late-periods of any artist in history, musical or otherwise.

  • @bornwithoutwarning Absolutely agree.

  • THE BEST!

  • my favorte pic of Mr. Cash is when hes flipping off the camera:D str8 up badass>:D

  • mooi

  • listen to Mr Cash and think ,,cannot I redeem myself ,,better believe it my friend,, I did,,,can you not,,,,,,,,,,,,,,eh in my own way,, thank you Mr Cash,,,

  • U2's Best Song!!

  • @ScottHingley71 fals: Cash's AND U2's best song

  • too much footage from "Hurt", i wrote an outline for this song that would be 10x better, an emotional powerhouse, as i'm a bit of a wanderer myself but i don't have the money to get it produced.

  • Great song for a great man.God bless Johnny Cash.He will never die.

  • fallout 3...

  • Nice vid.

  • This song reminds me of Fallout 3 so much. Its like Johnny had a Time machine, went into the future, and wrote a song about it. Great game and an even grater song.

  • This video is superb. Well done!!!

  • A great song

  • it is so big man can not say

  • ok let me put it like this: johnny cash is one of the best singer/song writers ever

  • It make's  me cry, great.

  • Oh is that what it's about? I've been alone too long to think that anyone else will "save" me, and you can stuff the oblique reference to belief in imaginary religious symbolism that condemns you and anyone else adhering to it to living a life of submission and slavery...I've been wandering this planet for fifty years and let me tell you, you truly go with nothing.

  • You all missed the point! The point is LOVE!

  • Life is a journey, sometimes we get caught up in meaninless B.S. and it holds us down. I just want to go out and wander, "with a Bible and a gun, the Word of God laid heavy on my heart, I was sure I was the one."

  • Hey man,

    thats what it's said in the meaning of all our lives: we are wanderes, till we find (perhaps), why we are on our way

    Cash still knew

  • I realise we all have different tastes, and we are all entitled to our own opinion, but how can 25 people not like this, it's Johnny Cash, for heavens sake.

    Genius.

  • 25 dislikes, cant understand, I just can FAKING understand why. Dislikers Please be so polite to comment why you dislike this song... because im getting very frustrated!

  • @jijmoetpoepen How many 'dislikes' do you think that Jesus himself would get in here?

    Hm?! The sooner your realize that this is just the sick world we all are into the better for you...

  • The man is music,,,,,,,,,,

  • Thanks!!!!

    

  • Flot lavet :) = Great done :) Thanks from Danmark ....

  • unfassbar

  • Damn this hits home right now

  • this is a wee bit special!!!u2,johnny cash, both legendary in their time and genre of music!!but by christ this works!!!this is fantastic!nobody sounds like johnny cash!!!!

  • I believe that if Cah were alive today, he would have completely agreed with you that his wife was his real life-saver.

  • June was definitely a great influence on Johnny but Jesus Christ was indeed his true Savior. I love that Johnny was never ashamed to admit that.

  • Dear lord! What a great song!! I'm a 25 year old woman and lean more and more to the good old music.. when music was still music... lyrics had meaning and the performers sang their songs with so much passion and heart. Not just for the money like ''singers'' today...

  • those who know good music will like this song, its just genius and the meaning and logic of the song is immense

  • Its a really good song.... nice tribute to J.C. from U2.....

  • This song is so damn good it hurts.

  • Time is nothing but the "grace of God" Johnny's life is a perfect example of Gods grace. All praise to Jesus

  • I just had a Johnny cash session, courtesy you tube, thank the great Lord for Johnny and You tube. Well, I Know there was a Johnny , I give the other guy benefit of the question? Maxthevid

  • great job for great man.

    thanx.

  • Great work, great song, great man among men..

  • This song says it all, thank you for sharing

  • Grande Cash!!!

  • U2+Johnny Cash... Never again will we ever hear a song this haunting and beautiful

  • Magical and hypnotizing... I can never get enough of his music... I hope God is treating you nicely Johnny!

  • @plkunger i feel ya, since i learned of Johnny, i only ware black and am trying to deliver his messages as well as right as many of the wrongs as i can, he did as much as one person can, and now it's up to us to continue his fight aganst the ones who would do nothing but what can be done for personal gain, or for the torment of others. Together, we can change the world as Cash did, and is.

  • OMG it reminds me of macon.ga!

  • ive been looking for this for like 2 months and to finally find it, its and orgasm to my ears

  • why does this song not have 15 millions views

  • @burrFTK

    cause of people like to heard shitty,meanless shit.

    my dad used to listen mr.cash...and i BOW both of of them.

    this song is art.

  • @MrHollow68 amen to that brotha

  • @burrFTK think that I can make 15 millions..;)

  • @burrFTK challange accepted

  • @Atvsrawsome lets do it

  • @burrFTK Because this videos awful quality

  • @connah07 It was uploaded before youtube greatly improved their quality settings - and until they allow a user to replace a particular video with one of a higher quality then I have no choice but to leave it as it is. But I still wouldn't say it's 'awful'.

  • Becasue there aren't that many people around with a brain to understand quality, who "get" the good stuff or who have decent taste. Young people can't help not having experience or exposure to good music with poignant lyrics, but maybe more should go "Wandering" in search of what's out there.

  • @cosmicrooster65 couldnt have said it any better

  • superbe mister johnny cash

  • respect mister johnny cash

  • The best Video i've ever seen

  • haunting

  • One of my favorite Johnny Cash songs!

  • I would love too see this song playd in a Fallout game!

  • ALL POINTS!!!!

    The bass remember me how "Time is tight"in vision from the Shadows

  • ALL POINTS!!!!

  • Nice video, thanx!

  • You know the word association tests where you are asked to give a one word response to a person, place or thing. When somebody says Johnny Cash my response is HONESTY.

  • what a timely combination this was.a few years/earlier u2 music would not of work for johnny cash,but this song is like one of his own.brilliant.

  • ****

  • Looking for God・・・・。

  • NAJBOLJI U2 IKAD

  • The man has no equal,,,pure and simple,,,,jus got to listen,,,

  • this video is a master piece, thankyou for sharing

  • one amazing man....

  • Awesome video. This has been one of my favorite U2 songs for a long time (lead me to Cash at a younger age). I think your literal visual representations in are appropriate even for the more metaphorical passages of the song. Exceptional job in choosing stills and clips, and rendering them together.

  • Most Excellent job...thank you.

  • man alive .... just beyond words .. the simplicity of the music and the complexity of the lyrics .... and Johnny's voice pulls the two together in a cohesive masterpiece. Peace in heaven Johnny & June!

  • i still miss jc! R.I.P

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • OOOOHHHH MY FUCK... This some good shit

  • Actually everything about Cash is touching

  • God bless J C

  • Johnny's journey is not over yet.

  • egal was andere über jonny cash schreiben...u2 hat es hammermässig gemacht..jonny cash ist mein idol..habe ihn früher schon immer gern gehört.ich kann es nicht in worten fassen,dieses lied v. jonny cash ist soooo supergeil...ich schmelze dahin wenn ich es höre..schade das er nicht mehr unter uns weilt..

  • Johnny Cash for Ever, der Mann war und ist weiterhin der Hammer.

    Möge er unvergessen bleiben.

  • das ist der hammer...jonny cash hat einfach eine hammermässige stimme...dafür die daumen ganz hoch..

  • Nice Video of one of my Fav. song from the U2's Zooropa. I loved to play the song till the last second: "At the end of the song (on most versions of Zooropa), there is a minute of complete silence. Following this, an alarm-sound fades in (at 5:14). The alarm sound repeats, even once it has completely started (at about 5:20). The alarm sound finishes at 5:38. The remaining three seconds are silent. Apparently, this is the same sound some DJs hear after 20 seconds of dead air" from Wikipedia

  • you must get off the highways and the express ways to see the real adventures of this world of ours….what you see will suprise you. what you learn will amaze you.

  • I really love this song, and at the end of the song you can hear Bono whimper, that´s so cool! haha

  • This is my favorite song by Johnny Cash, and U2.

  • Alongside this song, his American Recordings gave him this man of wisdom aura. Old man who passed through it all, and is giving us a lesson.

  • A man that repented, recovered, and made his music last forever.... The man in black he once was, but with his faith, and belief, he is now the man in White smiling down from heaven standing next to Jesus.. Johnny cash is an inspiration, and a sighn that we all have hope tp dream, and share our talents.

  • @andy24gy It's Goose Bumbs Mr. 3 Year

  • This video is totally awesome and revealing. About one man's journey and the pit falls that can become obstacle. The obstacles can become a vice and then a habit. He obviously found redemption, love and acceptance in June Carter and the Lord, Jesus Christ. Johnny Cash is one hell of a man!

  • This video is totally awesome and revealing. About one man's journey and the pit falls that can become obstacle. The obstacles can become a vice and then a habit. He obviously found redemption, love and acceptance June Carter and the Lord, Jesus Christ. Johnny Cash is one hell of a man!

  • Tremendous feel to this. Say what you want about U2, but they do write a great tune and this one suited JC to a T. I actually liked Bono's ending with the country feel and soul at the end. I played along on my acoustic and you can sense the drive in this great song. Inspiring.

  • @soulkiss1001 I see your point, but in the video it's a gesture by the great man and, as well as being an important piece of Cash iconography, it's a million miles from a foul language-laden insulting post.

  • @u2mixer couldn't agree more, cash's life is a display of everything a person can do wrong, but , the other side of that coin, you'll ever have a chance to redeem yourself. cash, thanks god, had that angel on his shoulder, June, who saved him from being just another poor man lost in drug addiction and ruin. ppl should think about, so many talents lost for drugs, and we''ll never know how many beautiful songs or whatever talent they got, world could've known.

  • Great song- awesome video- but I wish the song could slightly remixed with the vocals pulled forward and the synthisizer sofened a bit- the constant thump-beat was distracting and gave me a headache trying to enjoy the vocals.- Just my 2 cents.

  • What other man could reach in and really touch your deepest place. Rest in peace Johnny

  • One of the best vocals ever !!!

  • Great song from U2 Masterpiece Zooropa!!!

  • beautiful vid. thank you.

  • good song until politician world saviour Bono gets his bit in at the end.

    aaawhooooo...

  • @Plectrum78 bono wote the song that is why he is singing with cash

  • @dogbeith1 yes i know dog . he wrote 1 for Roy Orbison aswell "mystery girl" excellent songwriter.

    but i dont like bono, he should have just let Cash sing it. He's letting us know he wrote it by contributing at the last part of the song . It's like saying "Yoohoo its meee i wrote that" dont forget meee.

  • @Plectrum78 i understand that 

  • great collaboration between Johnny Cash & U2. This is such a beautiful song. Johnny Cash reaches beyond the limitations of country music. He's one of the greatest artists ever! Thanks for making & posting this video. It's very lovely. Well Done!

  • EVERY time,i almost cry,when i listen to this song. Johnny Cash is the perfect exemple of a simple little thing that we call Human Being. Every inch of that man was feeling,pure feeling.

  • I swear Johnny you have saved my life numerous of times. God rest your soul.

  • R.I.P JOHNNY

  • makes me smile all the time

  • Johnny is a prophet. His is the voice of truth.

  • God bless John Ray Cash

  • If Elvis is the king then Johnny is the emperor! He is sorely missed! RIP Johnny!

  • Say what you like about Bono and his ego, he sure can write a good song!!!

  • A true man's man's man.

  • great line: "they say they want the kingdom but they don't want God in"

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome Video ! Rest in Peace J.R.

  • the only man in the world who make me think there may be a God.

  • ok viva la musica

  • one of the greatest entertainer ever lived. God bless you Johnny and rest in peace.

  • No words describe how much I <3 this song and lyrics..

  • Best Song ever for me from Johnny, written by Bono.

  • Long live Johnny Cash

    I'm in disblief that U2 would later collaborate with Green Day.

    Thats like Michael Schumacher going to drive go-karts with special ed kids.

    Greed is a bitch, isn't it?

  • @ultimateguitar553 They did that collaboration to raise money for New Orleans, you should really look into stuff before you putt something on the web.

    But whatever.

    Amazing song!!!!

  • Not very many fans or critics were happy with this album; I however loved and believe it's fault lied in being ahead of it's time.

    It's also nice to see so many people having such positive raw emotion for this closing track.

  • @MrSHONthaDON agreed great track, but I think it's very much set in it's own time i.e. the cold war, it seems to me to a crtique of communism and communists in the USA, mainly their aiethism inherent in their ideology. mostly evident in the begining. "streets paved with gold, lifted some stones... without a soul." "citizens outside the church house. Kingdom without god in it" "under an atomic sky" (paraphrasing) Seems to be in a post-nuclear USA where commies took over.

  • @sleochko Are you high or something?

  • The tears when I said goodbye... to whom. Johnny hurt many beyond repair. I struggle with JC. He is conflicted and was the day he died. He never found peace, because his victims never found it either.

  • @Abigailhoneysuckle

    what the hell are u babbling about

  • @HansDesterhoft the Man was brilliant ,,just listen,,,,

  • A melhor voz que Deus deu foi a de Johnny Cash.

  • Johnny cash is the greatest ever

  • Where are men like this. A man that was been addicted and admitted it. A man who doesn't piont fingers, takes his the blame, and tries to make wrong things right. Instead we have barry bonds, roger clemens. You are missed Johnny Cash

  • @plkunger I love everything about jc good or bad, he is every inch human, anybody may walk the same pathway and yet go somewhere else instead!!!

  • @plkunger amen.

  • This one is beautiful.. One of the best ! 

  • the Wanderer ,,got to be one of his best ,,,Mr Cash how can it get any better ,,,,
