  • HAPPY B-DAY JOHNNY WE ALL LOVE YOU

  • I post this but it is too intense for me to watch. Happy Bday RIP John.

  • Johnny and June as young lovers and still soulmates in their golden years. There is no more beautiful love story anywhere - ever!

  • The people who dislike this song need to get slapped with a spiked glove.

  • The way his wife looks at him at 2:35 is just gut-wrenching....She knows that he's letting go of life & is powerless to stop him. For those of us like me who grew up with his music, this song wasn't just a cover of Trent Reznor's song. This was his LIFE'S song.

  • The thing i like about this video is that it was uploaded at the time when YouTube wasn't a sellout and actually had all of it's video submitted by users instead of big corporations.

    R.I.P Johnny Cash, you are missed, and will always be.

  • happy 80th birthday johnny cash!!

  • Happy 80th Birthday to The King♚Johnny Cash...R.I.P. legend.

  • Johnny is the best.

  • happy birthday mr ca$h

  • Happy Birthday Johnny!

  • Even in death... this guy still has my heart <3 Happy Birthday

  • HAPPY B-DAY!!!

  • wish he could come back and start over so we could have him again. I personally think he would come back as part of the underground music scene rather than country though...

  • Happy Birthday Johnny !!

  • Happy Brithday and still listening to your greatest hit Johnny....

  • r.i.p cash you legend this song's giving me a big lump in my throat

  • Happy birthday Johnny Cash! Rest in peace.

  • Szkoda, że już go nie ma wśród nas.

  • damn Blues !!

  • God rest his sole.. Johnny Cash owned this song no matter who wrote it.. Never felt anynore more powerful than the voice of this outstanding artist in this rendition of his life.. Ty Johnny u will be forever missed.. Ty for leaving us with your greatest masterpiece before u left us..

    Ty also to Trent Reznor for writing these words down for Johnny to sing..

  • @kev02z24 his sole will rest.

  • happy birthday !

    

  • Happy Birthday rest now my friend you have deserved that. Now you are with your family again :)

  • OMG 70 new comments in under a one min of watching this video! Cash is King!

  • @josh604gt although i don't doubt the Cash is king part, but the last ones to post before you was 4 minutes ago and an hour ago and i'm replying 34 minutes after you so.... wheres the 70 new comments?

  • @ad3llq101 not sure..just said 70 new comments sence you have watched...by reading the comments it must be lagg casue i dont recall any of the comments befor i posted. Lagg bro

  • I love this song it gives me chills every time i listen to it (well only when Johnny sings it he just puts so much power into the song)

  • I know you guys wont believe me, if you do thx. Anyways, today I figured out I was related to June Carter, by blood too, and its the biggest honor to. R.I.P Man in black.

  • Powerful.

  • reznor is a better song writer than cash, cash just had more of a right to sing this song, and did it better

  • His Daughter listened to this, and he asked what she thought. She said approximately well it makes me sad it sounds like you're saying goodbye... He replied "I am". Johnny Cash has done more for the music industry than any other one person. RIP, legend, time will tell.

  • @KleboldWF then why would you search the video?

  • @KleboldWF If I was face to face with you, I would fight you. I'm not trying to be a keyboard warrior or an internet tough guy, but if I didn't fight you then I would be the coward.

  • @KleboldWF Stop Trolling.

  • @KleboldWF Go listen to that noise then, stop bothering The Man In Black.

  • happy birthday you legend..........

  • thanks for all.....Kees&Gea.

    

  • Happy birthday Mr Cash

  • No vulgarity*, no cheap philosophy, just an old man playing one simple chord and reciting text. And it is still extremely powerful, evocative, heart-wrenching song. R.I.P Johnny Cash.

  • Happy birthday, mate.

  • I love the irony of Johnny. A bad boy but religious. To me it means you know what is right and good and pure, but you made me the way I am. Me too brother!

  • I got goosebumps and teared up. His voice really makes this.

    R.I.P Man in Black.

  • Damn..The End of Awesomeness.

  • Came here..To say - Rest In Peace ! Johnny Cash !

  • Holy fuck

  • Happy Birthday Johnny!!! :)

  • Awww tomorrow is gonna be his 79th birthday. R.I.P and happy birthday Johnny Cash.

  • @skullgurl18 80th :)

  • We all miss you Mr. Cash<3

  • Happy Birthday, Mr. Cash

  • damn.. i felt it

  • For some reason, I feel that Johnny had more of a right to sing this song than Mr. Reznor. Not that either did a bad job. He hurt a lot of people in his life, I believe this is his way of apologizing. Funny that the song I love most is an apology written by someone else, something you couldn't write yourself. Rest in Peace, Mr. Cash, you have earned it. Your music is a timeless legacy for all to appreciate.

  • solo una cosa se puede decir de Johnny

    impresionante XD

  • much respect to possibly the greatest man that ever lived rest in peace john <3

  • a legend unsurpassed by any other, ever.

  • This could make a grown man cry. very beautiful song

    

  • AWESOME and POWERFUL!!! We love you and miss you Johnny.

  • This is so beautiful.

  • no words. Just.. incredible.

  • That album kicked fucking ass, with some covers even being performed by Cash WAAAAAAY better! Like this one, for instance!

    By the way, dear God. If you could kill Justin Bieber, lady Gaga and all, and give us back Johnny Cash, Billy Mays and some GOOD musicians, I'd go to church every sunday for the rest of my life! :)

  • Eighty, well, well, Lovely to share a birthday with you.

  • I cried.

  • happy 80th birthday johnny

  • you did this song justice J.C!

  • I live by this song, like many other cash songs! This is one of the songs I will take in my heart to my grave..Beautiful song.xo.R.I.P Johny Cash.xoxoxoxox

  • One of the most potent and emotional songs I've ever listened to. Wow, Cashs emotions come across so intense, yet so tender and beautiful.

  • if i grow that old i hope to see the real ;)

  • in tears, everytime

  • Trent Reznor once said this song was not from him anymore...

  • hes the man ! long live johnny cash !

  • This is the only song I sing along to

  • Look, I don't have anything against cover's getting more views than originals if the cover made the song more powerful. Same thing with marilyn manson - personal jesus, it's better than the original. But I do think they should all give credits to the original. Like the title should be Johnny Cash - Hurt (Cover by NIN).

  • No one better at cutting to the quick.

  • true grit. a real mans man. see you when i see you

  • I first heard this song in music class when we were studying about this amazing man, and I still can't get it out of my head because of how sad the lyrics are.

  • Very powerful version. Almost as if he knew his time was done and he took regret with him.

  • R.I.P Johnny Cash, the true king if country

  • such a powerful song and you can tell the lyrics really meant something to Johnny in his old age...

  • Why the hell is there an Eminem ft Adele video in the related section. It should be nothing than Cash songs, How can anything be related to such a legend other than his own life and legacy.

  • Even Trent Reznor prefers Cash's version. Johnny Cash has WAY more hurting than Reznor did. This video just has so much power to it. BTW The Man in Black would have been 80 in 2 days.

  • @Sednethal no he died at the age of 71

  • @MetalGivesUWings which is why I said "would have" instead of "is"

  • Makes you remember

  • I love NIN, but I really do prefer this cover. Its so convincing and has this tone of finality which just makes me want to cry. this song is raw emotion and I fucking love it. RIP cash.

  • I always get emotional when I hear this song. A classic.

  • KİNG!!!

  • try to kill it

  • Colombiana.

  • nine inch nails may have wrote the song, but johnny cash really made this song his own. and in my opinion, the way nine inch nails singed it sucked. it was so emo and shit. all's he did was wisper into the mic. some say that it was feeling and emotion. i say bull shit, you can tell emotion you can feel it. but NIN just wisperd it and i think it was shit. johnny made it more awesome. say what you want i dont give a fuck.

  • perfect. enough said

  • Such a masterpiece... It was destined for greatness. Note the quality of the video from 2005.

    But yeah, this is just reality hitting me in the face. This man, his way of expressing himself in his music, and the way it then transforms while placing itself in the ears of his audience... It's just pure beauty. Rest in peace, good Sir.

  • NIN fans: If you want to hear a great cover of NIN's Perfect Drug, check out the most faithful version I've ever heard by a rock band by typing in Brock Murdoch in the search, or paste this after the youtube prompt: watch?v=p44oeFejTro you won't be disappointed!!

  • Not to sound preachy, but here's the bloody truth. From Hip-Hop to Country, Metal to Dance, we're confronted with the common denominator. It’s why we hate empty rapping about money or soulless droning of guitars. But once in a while, on a blue Monday, a song arises that outshine it genre and becomes more and it shows us a gimps of another culture, one that should be respected and explored. In short, don’t judge rock by Nickelback, nor rap by Vanilla Ice.

  • one of the greatest covers of any song. only one to come close it hallelujah by Jeff Buckley. People dont sing with this kind of emotion. you can hear his heart been torn away. such a sad song

  • to the rap comment, rap shows emotion and eminem proves it. just listin to when im gone. to the song, its one of the best that johnny cash has ever done. Johnny Cash will never die he will live on in his music

  • Forgiveness comes from God, but if you can't forgive yourself, God's forgiveness will never reach you.

    Maybe someday.

  • Every time i hear this song i get cold chills.

  • I love this song !!

  • the first time i watched this video on MTV i choked up and sat still after the video went off and just spaced out ...this song is so powerful

  • Wish I was born earlier to be able to go to his concert with full understanding of his music. Cause not too many youngsters go to Johnny Cash concerts with full meaning of his songs.

  • Mr Cash you kicked life in the balls and died old, respect.....

  • It;s just... an amazing song! Can't get enough of it!

  • Johnny is the best - the black man forever

  • @Wagnerans1977 He's the "Man in Black" But yeah, he is the best(:

  • chills....

  • Come on let's get the views to 40,000,000! Brilliant song...

  • He does this song perfectly. Not many artists keep their zest when they get older, but JR Cash did, for sure... Man, I would have LOVED to have met him. This is REAL music, REAL country.

  • I had to take my hat off for this song R.I.P Mr.cash

  • you need to be brain retard to dislike this beautiful song!

  • amount of likes on this video says it all...

  • true artist, true song!

    thank you johny for being a real artist! and also thank you rick rubin for making this possible!

  • I accidentally typed "v" into the search engine. Guess what the first result is?

    That's as handy as hell.

  • i hate what singers now a day have become they forgotten where it started off and what music means but johnny cash always stayed true.

  • Time is short and when you go you take nothing but your soul, live your life without regret

  • Beautiful song indeed but Cash didn't write this, it was originally written by Trent Reznor.

  • @AppalachianKnight77 U DONT SAYYYYY

  • i would love this to be played at my funeral

  • I heard he died shortly after filming this...

  • ......... :|

  • Whatever he sing he make it is own, like he have write it himself. That's an artist.

  • i dont know what to say.

    

  • holy shit ive got a pit in my stomach now thus song made me cry

  • my memories brought me here.

  • This is 1 of the best songs ever n he is an was an amazing person n who cares if he didnt write the song he made it better n this song has alot of meaning to it n is a very stronger song i love it

  • I wonder if Reznor ever covered Mr. Cashs' cocaine blues?

  • To me this song feels like Cash's goodbye. He knows he hasn't got much time left and he died not long after recording this.

    Rest in peace you Legend

  • @KleboldWF How are you above us all? Idiot.

  • @KleboldWF I seriously don't understand why people dislike a dead artist like Johnny Cash. Pay some fucking respect for this man.

    Hate full kid. I feel sad for you, really. I do.

  • @KleboldWF then why are you here? johnny cash is regarded as one of the best singers EVER in the world for you to write that comment is a disgrace to music.

  • @KleboldWF someone should club you like one of those baby seals you little bratt disrespectful shitbird

  • @Fisherrotts No. Don't bring Baby Seals. Please.

    anyway, Just ignore KleboldWF. He is trolling.

  • @KleboldWF - Someone really want's people too see his videos... he has to go TRY degrade one of our music history legends just to get views... Meanwhile you just degraded your entire generation trying to get attention.

    Go ask mommy and daddy to tell you they love you and get some love kid. Maybe then you won't be grasping for attention from the internet...

  • @KleboldWF Lol You do realize nobody actually cares that you dislike Cash?

    So go ahead and Rant your little heart out, while we enjoy the music :)

  • @KleboldWF Obviously have no soul and you are a stupid little kid who wanks off too disgusting black people rap that has no meaning at all you stupid cunt.

  • I sang this at a talent show right in front of my ex who dumped me for my best mate. I got a standing ovation and the award for best singer

  • @CherubAgent1997 No you didn't, stop making things up.

  • This song goes down to the bone. So haunting. Never tire of it.

  • NIN's cover of this Sucks! xD

  • @Eslavasheva007PS3 NiN wrote the original, Johnny Cash covered it... music history fail lol

  • @stevenbench That I know, but I prefer this version. but NIN version is more like all stupid child stories.. my life sucks, my family sucks,.... But this man sings it like a ending song... Just like if he finish this song he will die or something.. But the people is different and prefer different things..

  • wow.. they only song that makes lots op strikes on one key of the piano cool...

  • Love johnny cash 2389 people are hurt

  • i was brought up on johnny cash rip

  • R.I.P JOHNNY CASH 1 OF THE BEST SINGERS OUT THERE YOU WILL BE MISSED

  • 2389 who disliked this clip... see u in hell...

  • Unlike most songs and videos, this one really reflects Cash's actual current condition at the time

  • johnny cash could be my favorite singer every i love his old music but this could be my favorite song 

  • @KleboldWF I don't think anyone listens to this track because Johnny Cash is the worlds best singer or guitarist. Sometimes there is something in a song which is kind of more important than those things. This song is about experience and feeling, there is a meaning to this track which makes it beautiful, something which hip hop lacks in some respect (and let's be honest it's hardly a 'new breed'). Maybe you'll reach a point in your life where you can appreciate this lovely track.
