i really respect Johnny Cash for covering artists like Trent Reznor. Most people his age when he did the cover would not give a person like Trent Reznor a chance and would dismiss his music. Johnny Cash was a true musician who really understood all types of music. He also covered a Beck song called Rowboat.

The most moving and powerful video I have ever seen & heard in my 58 years. Trent Reznor's comments about it were clearly heartfelt and a tribute to Cash's cover of his song...

"It wasn't my song anymore..."

Reznor's comments here are also moving & powerful... important to hear for followers of both artists, for lovers of music, for the bridges & understanding they can build

Wow this is probably one of my most favorite uploads of all time. So incredible.

@supak108 Johnny Cash was in a way kind of a Trent Reznor of his time when you think about it... struggled with drugs and alcohol and a failed marriage and the guild over his brother and such. Just dealt with in a slightly different way in a slightly different time.

I was 23 when Hurt came out by Reznor. It was my song to listen to when I was depressed - almost a hopeless feeling of emotion. Cash's version gives off a totally different vibe. When I listen to it, it's more of a life reflection feeling. When I see the video, I think of elements like "persistence, coming to terms with one's self and looking back" Reznor created something awesome but Cash definitely took it one step further.

@steelers8279 Very astute observation .

I'm so glad Reznor was open to having him cover his song. Cash's cover is amazing, and he managed to give it a different feel and meaning, which is what a great cover is all about.

cash pouring the wine on the table with his fragile hand shaking really gets to you, this is cashs song now

[steelers8279]

Hears the difference: the original is about a young, addicted singer. Johnny made it into a song about a guy who's staring death in the face.

When I listen to Trent Reznor do this song I sing along in a powerful voice- When I listen to Johnny Cash do this song tears run down my face. That is Art !
