I really feel like this was his song to say goodbye to music, he was getting old, he knew his time was coming to an end, I busted out crying when he closed that piano for the very last time, Truly a LEGEND 🖤

It's a song of regret, he regrets he didn't treat the people in his life better. He regrets he let drugs in his life. He realized the "things" in his life mean nothing. He wishes he could start over and keep himself instead of becoming who the person he is. It's very sad! As we age and self reflect we all have regrets. Some more then others. Once we get close to death we see more clearly how special life really is and how much we value it.

I think this is one of Johnny’s most powerful songs. You can tell he is in his last years & his voice isn’t what it once was, but that makes the words sting harder.

The song was recorded at Johnny's place. June Carter Cash, his wife, is on the stairs. June had died months before the video came out. She had come down to make sure that Johnny wasn't working too hard. You can see the concern on her face. The director saw her there and had the camera include her in the shot (unbeknownst to her) and kept her in the film. It was also the last time Johnny played that piano. When he closed it, it was like closing of his life. Johnny died a few months later.

The song is about regretting his past, the lies, his ego that cost friends to leave. Then realizing all the gold and wealth he gain wasn’t worth what he lost , his empire of dirt.

The first singer to get awards from country, gospel, and rock halls of fame. The man in black rode a rocky road to get too the top. Only to let it all slip from his hands. The hurt is that he spent so many years on drugs, drunk, and angry. His Mother was his best friend for a long time, then his wife died, shortly before the man himself some months after this song. The song resonates because, after all the fame all that was left is a empire with no worth to a dying man.

This version of this song always makes me cry uncontrollably. Such a beautiful song. And he truly did it justice.

Johnny Cash is a man my legal parents/grandparents and I hold in common. An devoutly christian man, who went to prisons to sing about the folly of humankind, how low you can go, and the struggle living in a lower class. He also partied to hard and very well got too far into the libations along the way, but knew what he was doing to himself and others. This song rendition can suck you dry, but it's a swan song before he left looking for a humble redemption, telling once again that people can stop before they get to the final throne. We hear many new versions of this kind of sorrow, for some those new ones seem muddled or maybe sharper, but as close as I am to my home, this is the one I know the best.

Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails said it was no longer his song , it is Johnny Cash's song , what a tribute to Johnny Cash 🥺❤ from the song writer It was not only meant for him to sing , it was a song that he lived God Rest his Soul We don’t mourn musicians death because we knew them , we mourn them because they helped us to know ourselves The pain that this song is and it is also his life , one most of important gifts of his life , was to have his wife Everyone he knows goes away , his wife June did go away before him but he also lived almost all of his life with her. There is some of us , not only also lived a life of pain and suffering and hurt and still are today 🥺 And because of their hurt and not allowing no one get close And although he lived a life that he felt hurt and broken , and because of the choices he made because of hurt , not only did he hurt himself and he hurt others because of his choices , born from his pain Some of us live this kind of life alone without a wife or husband Your only companion is pain , because not only because it's real , it also reminds you constantly that You are Alive ! Please stop repeating the same choices or new versions of the same choices that give you the same result . Choose your Savior Jesus Christ and give him your pain and live his choices for you and the life that he meant for you and only you. He truly loves you And although you didn't know it during your life and the choices you made , he was always with you and you are still here today , Choose Jesus and you will be free , free from everything that was you . Because you are are new self and your life from before is dead . Live in the Peace and Love that Only Jesus can give you because he overcome this world “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 NIV

He had a stroke before he did this redention of nine inch nails song. They applauded his version,said he did it justice. He did so much in his life,many regrets. He realized his faults and in this he was saying goodbye. He died soon after this just a bit after his wife June died.

the closing of the piano was like a final curtain draw on his life and legacy. rest in peace to a great man who struggled like we all do.

The song was written from the perspective of an addict who hurt everyone around him. It was written by a young man who was burning up everybody. Johnny heard it, and immediately thought of his own situation at the end of his life, and his own addiction, and how he had hurt everyone around him.

He played this song for his daughter. Afterwards, she began to cry and said, "Daddy, it's like you're telling me goodbye" and Johnny replied, "I am". A few months later, he passed away. After his wife, the love of his life, died Johnny lost all will to live. Many think he died of a broken heart.

Goes to show the awesome writing & humanity that Trent Reznor has always been capable to express that everyone can relate too & know.

This brings a tear to my eye every. single. time. The original came out when I was in a rough place. Mr. Cash's version only changes one word, yet the entire meaning is different. Amazing.

The change in your emotions during this video is soo crazy tangible. Thanks for posting.

I'm a Cash fan since childhood.. what I get from this is... fame made him different, he got on drugs, he hurt many people in his life, including himself.. he did this song not long before he passed away. This song basically is saying, " if I could go back I would keep myself " I would give up my empire, money, drugs etc.. to keep the important things and people in my life"

That’s his mother in the photo, June Carter was his wife and she was the one standing next to him....this is originally a Nine Inch Nails song

All the "dirt" he's talking about is his fame and fortune..it's all things that don't mean anything in the end. He also mentions that he'll let you down and hurt you, because he's only a human being, not a god that some of his fans thought he was. At least these things are my take on this. He didn't write this song; it was written and performed by Nine Inch Nails.

I love you guys!! So refreshing!! Stumbled across you both and I’m hooked!!

In the end materialistic possessions are nothing, just a pile of dirt. What matters is the love we have for one another. That's the message I get from this song..........very emotional and powerful. Johnny Cash's love for his wife was publicly known to be very intense......he passed just a few months after his wife June Carter passed. A very religious man, may he and June RIP.

When he says 'I wear this crown of thorns upon my liars chair' he's saying he is the king of liars sitting on his throne. At least that's what I got out of it.

Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor has revealed that hearing Johnny Cash's cover of his song 'Hurt' for the first time felt “like someone kissing [his] girlfriend” - Johnny also overcame Dyslexia and had such an amazing life. My dad got to meet him and have breakfast with him with June making it, Roseann there and Johnny telling stories... WOW

This song has the same effect on everybody. Watching your emotions...identical to all the other folks that had reacted to this song. Touches your soul. Its like attending a funeral. Bless you both.

Go even deeper with this song. He uses this song to self reflect and no amount of money and fame could ever repair the pain he caused others and the ones he love.

To learn more about the Cash you have to see Walk the Line. Reese and Joaquin were chosen by June to play them in the movie so they got to spend two years with them to learn everything about June and Johnny. I got to see Johnny and concert when I was younger and Joaquin has his mannerisms down perfectly.

The song was written about self harm and addiction...Reznor was in a deep depression when it was written. For Johnny it meant something different and that is the power of music.

When you hear the way Trent (NIN) does the song originally. Then to hear John's version, it is two completely different songs.. Even though they are the same. Everyone should go hear the original by Nine Inch Nails

I love your energy, what it do, what it do! I bet you guys have fun doing whatever.

for those who missunderstand this one thing, was that Johnny didn write hurt. this is just a cover of song. Trent Reznor from the band "Nine inch Nails" was the one who wrote "hurt". Johnny asked for the permission to use that song. and Trent was honored to have Johnny ask that question, as Johnny was the most legendary rock artist in the music industry. and Johnny worked with a movie director of some sort to make that music video "hurt". and it was so well put together with history and moments from movies that it seemed like it was his own song, but it wasent. but you can clearly feel the mountains of regret he beared through his life in this song.

Downward Spiral was a great and depressing album about addiction and regret but when this song from it was sung by an aging man who had many of the same issues as Trent did but had lived so much longer and seen so much more the lyrics change from somewhat self-pitying to something else and the message becomes more universal because at that point all of us are going to have regrets and done things we are sorry for and we all know that - it becomes a form of wisdom and a message to try to live a better life before it's too late. As good as the NIN version was it could never carry the weight or resonance that Cash's years add to the lyrics.

All you folks analyzing the video should know one thing... Cash KNEW where he would spend eternity. Sure it's sad that he was fading, but his FAITH was such that like many older people, he was, from everything that I know about him, at peace in the knowledge that he was PARADISE BOUND... Kinda'beautiful...

I got the chills every time. #RIPJohnnyCash #RIPJuneCarterCash

It was his mother in the picture. June was in the video. She passed shortly after this video was made.Johnny passed only a few months after June.

He was a heavy drug user when he was young. The song says "the needle tears a hole, the old familier sting". The Hurt he talks about is the hurt that he has caused. He says "I will make you hurt". When he says "you can have my empire of dirt" he's telling us that material things are nothing more than dirt. Everyone goes away in the end and all your things can not change that.

So was Trent Reznor from Nine inch nails who wrote it. Check their version out, Cash changed a few words. Both are brilliant.

He just didnt do enough.Hes alive,everyone that was good/wholesome is gone.He regrets sooooo much.He just didnt put enough love out in his his life,Take is rich life,It was nothing compared to the love he received back

Its Johnny's farewell to all his fans and off his cover album. June is in the video she died shortly after. I see this as a final goodbye and hurar for everything he achieved the good the bad thats his life and thats it... Everytime i hear it is gives me goosebumps.

This great man saw the end coming and this is his Tribute. We will always miss The Man In Black.

Man this song here hits! Long live the Legend, Johnny Cash!! Much respect for yall reactin to him, salute!

What's up ! I just want to say that I Love yalls vibe and the Love yall have for each other is very visible! Keep doing what yall are doing. Much Love for you and Yours. #mayweallliveinharmonyoneday

This is Johnny Cash saying goodbye to all of us 💔 I cried so hard when I saw it because I knew he was going to leave us. When his wife died he followed just 3 months later. I believe of a broken heart. They were soulmates

this was basically a death note..he died shortly after...june died before as well

Hurt is a song of addiction - "the needle tears a hole" - and how it drives everyone you love away until it is just you and the drugs - Cash was addicted to alcohol and pills in the 60's and 70's - it almost killed him and he almost lost everything

You really should know more about his life. It really brings this full circle. I started listening to him back in the late 60’s because my father introduced him to me along with Elvis, Hank Williams, Charlie Pride and many others. I loved Johnny and I cried when he died. 🙏☘️

Hurt is the only thing that lasts until the very end. Friends and family come and go. Happiness is fleeting, money disappears, empires fall, love dies and all you have at the end when everything else is gone is the pain.

Cash was born in Kingsland Arkansas..about 30 miles from my home town. HE is the Goat!

The good ole Saline River, I've stayed on that river growing up, but it gets mean when it floods

I tear up every time I hear this. You can almost feel the hurt in his voice. Like knows death coming and facing his demons.

So many songs you all could react to by Johnny Cash...” gonna cut ya down “, “ one piece at a time”, “ I’ve been everywhere”; love your reactions and keep up the awesome work!!!

Its a goodbye to those you leave behind. My daughter is my sweetest friend. Materials are dust. Your soul is unique in this universe. Keep it if there is a rebirth

You guys should watch the movie “Walk the Line” staring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon it’s all about his life...it won a bunch of Golden Globes and Oscars..it’s a really good film.

The ability to put an entirely new spin on a song, just by the way you play and sing it, without changing a single word....that is the talent of this man.

He did change one word in the song.. crown of thorns was originally crown of shit in the NIN recording.

I love this man and how he make this song his, I cry every time I hear this shit, you know Johnny sing this shit from the heart, I wish my name was Johnny, proud to be Brazilian, but if I was from the US, I wish my name was like this legend.

Johnny cash wad a legend. Loved watching you two watching this great song, god bless you both. Paul from England. 🙏❤️
