Nine Inch Nails - Hurt

I agree. I like the Cash version more...it is so powerful with the video...especially if you consider that his wife died during the video making. It is so sad, that the end has to be near first until you see what mistakes you made in life.

@Die7Ringe
its nice 2 c someone else with the same interpretation of the Cash version.

@ RoadskiN
the hard thing on the "Cash-Version" is to understand that he feels the things that Trent put into the song, due to the fact that he got a point in his live as burned out / full of drugs like Trent got. Cash choose the song as his last in light of know the end is near. This was a kind of a testament. Look at the video and you will understand.....

My God What a great song. Cash and Reznor did a great job on this one.

Both versions are incredible.

You know what NIN said after listening to Cash's version?

He wouldn't listen his own version again ^^

The NIN version actually made me cry when I first heard it and to this day it makes my hairs stand up. The Johnny Cash cover does nothing for me at all.

This is a song about a screwed up present and a grim looking future. Not the sort of song for an old man (like Cash) to sing. Why would he "start again a million miles away" when he's done his dash?

Notice how Reznor's latest songs are about how he has finally found his place? That's what happens when you get older.

heroin is not the only thing people shoot

Hmmm, I think he's referring to Heroine use with the whole "needle tears a hole" sentence. So it's about someone who is lost in self destruction and has tossed aside all his friends and loved ones in the process. In the end he's alone and miserable, and full of regret
