I actually first heard this song through Johnny Cash's version, and only recently listened to NIN's version. I like both. Johnny's version just has that legendary status that surrounds him. And his emotional output he pours out of his soul into this song is just...legendary. One of the-if not the best-cover of all time, in my opinion. This is why I hesitated to cover this song, even after so many requests.

Even JC's version made Trent Reznor-creator of the song- cry, after he heard and saw the video.

I miss Johnny Cash.

From an Article
The Unlikely Superstar: Johnny Cash
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_19_55/ai_108409994/

Yet Cash was on the fast train to hell. He soon found himself in a prison of his own making: a ferocious addiction to amphetamines and barbiturates. He missed concerts, wrecked cars, wasted away to nearly nothing, and finally destroyed his marriage. One day, in an apparently earnest pursuit of death, he climbed down into a Tennessee cave, where he hoped to perish. But instead of finding the Grim Reaper, Cash later recalled, he found himself in the presence of God, who informed him that He had other things in mind for him.

Thank you for rating/faving/sharing/commenting=)

Mariekesone: One of the Best, if not the best songs written about Struggle and Pain...You did so well..and at 3.10 onwards...:D..Just Great!
SwaggerPwnz: dude, awesome cover, really brings out the uh...idk what...but its bringing something to the table i havent heard in the other versions absolutely awesome
eoublue: Wow JC... this one is a very well done cover... I had said before that I prefer ur original songs, but Collide & this one are just great. In your firsts videos you were good, and I liked your style, that's why I subscribe n fallow ur music, but man, u have been surprising me (and by sure to many others) lately. As I had been saying, ur voice is really sweet and u interpred this songs with passion + u're a cool guy... man... be proud of ure self, u re a great artist... ya!!!
sadiengo: I use to sing this song with my guitar and it made me feel as if I understood where cash was coming from. Jc you did a good job covering this legendary song which I know is dedicated to his memory. Thank for remembering a legend in the world of music.

In memory of Johnny Cash, Thank you:
