This song was originally written & performed by "Nine Inch Nails". It was written about drugs & depression. But Johnny Cash's version is considered the best. His version is more about regret for past mistakes in life & realizing material things & fame mean nothing in the end. When the video was filmed in February 2003, Cash was 71 years old & had serious health problems. His frailty is clearly evident in the video. He died seven months later, on September 12 & his wife, June Carter Cash, who is shown gazing at her husband in two sequences of the video, had died on May 15 of the same year.

@@setonhillstudios @dagmar.6954 has done a good job of providing the important context. I lost my mom when I was 9 years old, and JC (the man in black) was one of her favourite musicians, and has since been once of mine... every time I hear this it reminds me of her, and the poignancy of his performance (so close to his death) makes me cry... and now that I am in the end stages of a terminal ailment myself, I appreciate and relate to this in new and different ways as well, especially the rawness and sincerity of the emotions... best cover of all time, no question. To quote Virginia Wolf: "Literature does its best to maintain that its concern is with the mind; that the body is a sheet of plain glass through which the soul looks straight and clear... in illness this make-believe ceases [....] To look these things squarely in the face would need the courage of a lion tamer; a robust philosophy; a reason rooted in the bowels of the earth [....] There is, let us confess it (and illness is the great confessional), a childish outspokenness in illness; things are said, truths blurted out, which the cautious respectability of health conceals."

I'd think you probably heard it from nine inch nails but you barely recognize it here it's amazing the tone is changed and beat ❤ he makes it his own and it's beautiful.

This song was written by Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails. This is a cover but Trent said the song was now Johnny's. That is Johnny's wife, June Carter Cash, in the video with him.

Mr Cash RIP died within 6 months of his wife June Carter. Although he covered this song before she died. Mr Cash had his troubles with drugs. June Carter was the one responsible for him staying straight. She was also a country and gospel singer. He had a 2 year run variety show. In part due to politics. And not just his own or country songs but performing with artists of all genre. I find it amazing he was still keeping up with new music enough to discover this song from Nine Inch Nails whom I had never heard of. And it is a tearjerker. Him closing the keyboard on the piano was like closing the final chapter of his life.😢 🚜🤠🐂

In March 1935, when Cash was three years old, the family settled in Dyess, Arkansas, Cash's early memories were dominated by gospel music and radio. Taught guitar by his mother and a childhood friend, Cash began playing and writing songs at the age of 12. When young, Cash had a high-tenor voice, before becoming a bass-baritone after his voice changed. a New Deal colony established during the Great Depression under the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It intended to allow poor families to work the land they might later own. From the age of five, Cash worked in cotton fields with his family, singing with them as they worked. Dyess and the Cash farm suffered a flood during his childhood. Later he wrote the song "Five Feet High and Rising". His family's economic and personal struggles during the Great Depression gave him a lifelong sympathy for the poor and working class and inspired many of his songs. A few of Johnny's accomplishments for those who don't know him well.. He did so much more than these few things...Cash received multiple Country Music Association Awards, Grammys, and other awards, in categories ranging from vocal and spoken performances to album notes and videos. In a career that spanned almost five decades, Cash was the personification of country music to many people worldwide. Cash was a musician who was not defined by a single genre. He recorded songs that could be considered rock and roll, blues, rockabilly, folk, and gospel, and exerted an influence on each of those genres. His diversity was evidenced by his presence in five major music halls of fame: the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame (1977), the Country Music Hall of Fame (1980), the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1992), GMA's Gospel Music Hall of Fame (2010). and the Memphis Music Hall of Fame (2013). Marking his death in 2003, Rolling Stone stated other than Elvis Presley Cash was the only artist inducted as a performer into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His contributions to the genre have been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Cash received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1996 and stated that his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980 was his greatest professional achievement. In 2001, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts. "Hurt" was nominated for six VMAs at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. The only VMA the video won was that for Best Cinematography. With the video, Johnny Cash became the oldest artist ever nominated for an MTV Video Music Award. Justin Timberlake, who won Best Video that year for "Cry Me a River", said in his acceptance speech: "This is a travesty! I demand a recount. My grandfather raised me on Johnny Cash, and I think he deserves this more than any of us in here tonight. Johnny had and did good and bad, just like the rest of us,,,,,, Only he did it all with passion..!!!

When Trent Rezner wrote this song he was going through a rough time in his life, depression and anxiety and he was I believe in his twenties when he laid it on paper. Two totally different points of view. One from a young man with the trials he was going through and then Johnny at the end of his life and looking back over everything. He would give it all up because he loses everyone in the end.

Wow! Such a gut punch but an amazing song too!

If you want to know what Johnny Cash stood for he wrote a song called,""THE MAN IN BLACK,"" in which he tells you why he always"" ALWAYS only wore black. There was also a movie that was made called I WALK THE LINE and it is almost Exactly what Johnny Cash went through from a teenager on. It is almost more like a biography than it is a movie and so damn full of the truth of Johnny Cash. That's why the song, HURT get you in your feels. Hurt was made almost a year before he died. His wife June Carter Cash was actually pretty sick during this filming and she died just a month or two after this was made and he died either 7 or 8 months after she did. Their love for each other was what you would hope and pray that you would have. They never went out anywhere without each other. 😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ May God bless and keep you safe and healthy. Love your reaction take care of yourself.

Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Chris Christofferson, and Willy Nelson formed a band called The Highwaymen. You should really check out each of them before the highwaymen, These were the last of the real outlaws of country music. Waylon especially went against Nashville, he refused to let studio musicians play on his studio recordings. He insisted his bad play everything.

I would keep myself, I would find a way❤

"Hurt" is a song by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails in the mid-1990s about drug addiction. It was recorded in 2002 shortly before his wife and he died. In 1994 Rick Rubin persuaded Cash to do a solo album and that stripped back album was the first of four or five albums that revitalised his recording career. Weirdly there were a lot of post-punk British musicians who liked Cash's music and so I encountered it perhaps more than you did. Hurt, in the Uk at least, was widely played and I remember seeing the video.

One piece of trivia that I rarely see mentioned is that, while drug addiction isn't the _focus_ of Cash's version like it was Reznor's, Cash was 100% sympathetic to the original, as he also watched his life fall apart due to drug addiction, costing him his first marriage. June, his second wife, whom he stayed with the rest of their lives and whom you see in the video, helped him get clean and he spent the rest of his life believing she was the best person in the entire world.

Wow! Such a full circle moment and the raw emotion of this song was truly felt by Cash! Absolutely loved it and thanks for the insight!

great genuine reaction... "hurt" by johnny cash is the reflection of his own life. he struggled throughout his life with addiction to drugs and alcohol. the picture of the older lady is his mother. the lady standing behind him was his wife june. the song is about looking for forgiveness from those he hurt and realizing that life is not about collecting possessions but relationships and not taking them for granted.... complex visions of his crumbling museum, his childhood home, cracked dusty awards mixed family images and the crucifixion of Christ show a simple man searching for salvation as he is nearing death. the piano even appears to represent a coffin and he supposedly never opened it again after the last take. its one of the most powerful videos ever done and can bring the most ruthless of men to tears. his wife died shortly after the video and he died 8 months later... even the museum burnt down to the ground a few years later during a renovation project... i watch it anytime i feel i am taking life for granted 😎
