Not off key in the song, actually! What you're hearing is called "dissonance," and while it may sound off key because of the tension that it creates, rest assured, we are still well within our tonal center! If you listen closely, it's actually carried throughout the intro + verses. Dissonance like that adds a wonderfully surreal, dissociative, intriguing texture. The "tension" of dissonant chords really does impart a sense of pulling, as the term would imply. It's like the note is trying to pull away from the rest of the song, but the elastic mesh of the other notes gently guides it back in line where it settles. That F on top of the B is tonally unstable, creates tension, and that makes you want to hear it release that tension by moving on to a stable chord. Although in this case, given that it's at the end of the measure and song, it's meant to make you feel uneasy, unresolved, conflicted... as is the case of this pain Trent is describing. Interestingly though, as the dissonant blooms, it actually does feel quite resolved and satisfying. My brain was like "wait wtf why did he end on th-... oh. ohhhhhh. I like this. this is nice." Also side note that will probably be longer than my main response lol: Super interesting that you interpreted Hurt as a "declaration of being better." I'd be interested to hear why, as I thought of it as the exact opposite: someone at the end of their life coming to terms with your failures, relinquishing the fight with their inner demons; accepting that those demons have won, and now just reflecting on what their life has been. Sitting in an empty, moldy house that has become condemned not from one massive tragedy, but from a lifetime of gradual decay; having a deep desire to fix it, but knowing so certainly that they will not change. They will not fix it, and they're ok with that. The isolated line "if I could start again, a million miles away, I would keep myself, I would find a way" seems like he's hopeful to be better, but, the key word is "if." However, context changes that. Given how direct he is with his thoughts - yelling "I will let you down. I will make you hurt" - I believe the "if" is used very specifically, rather than saying "I WILL start again... I WILL find a way." Instead, it's "if" and "would," meaning he's just thinking about a "what if," not planning on any change. So not a declaration of being better, IMO. No right answers though, and that's what makes music cool! Even in the lyrics seem to describe one scenario more directly, our personal interpretation of the tone can hold just as much worth... There's that whole thing of "90% of communication is non-verbal," and similarly, the same seems to apply with music: the meaning we derive from it is largely based off tone and textures, rather than what is explicitly said. Tl;dr: Dissonant notes seem off key, but are not. Dissonance creates tension, imparting a sense of unrest, pain, a desire to resolve to a "nicer," more sonorous chord. When that resolution does not come, we are left with what you described: failure, a lack of resolution. This turned into an essay lmao

People who suffer from addiction will always feel sympathetic to the original by Trent. It speaks to us. People who have lived a long life and have regrets will prefer Johnny's version. It's ok to appreciate both

And both of those songs have lyrics that will haunt you. And I am not a lyrics person at all Jealous guy by John lennon springs to mind. Yesteray by mccartney. Theres also the argument of what is "sad" and what is more just depressing and bleak. Perfect day by lou reed has a huge undertone of detached indifferent in the verses and then, orgasmic chorus, just like jealous guy. Listen to lou Reed sing that live if you want to hear convincing "pain" sorry, just one more thing: I'm always arguing with people who prefer J Cash's cover of this *to the extent of immediately not even considering the orginal* What I love about this one is the piano/keyboard. it is so effective that it could never be repeated with guitars. But one criticism I have of t reznor' is that his singing is not as sincere as a lot of other sad songs, I love the way he begins to sing the "and you could have it all" parts, but I think the sort of whimpering/squeaky yodel inflection think he adds at the end of each line was a bad idea if this song really does still have an excruciating attachment to him. i do still love this song but I think trent reznor is maybe a little too unsure singing-wise of his feelings/the balance between truth and professionalism . There's 1 or 2 live videos of mccartney(not all of them!) singing 'here today' that are the epitome of courage.

Everything is gone, and you still don't care. A conversation with yourself, your younger self.

Johnny Cash's version feels more about regret and acceptance of the hardships we all face. But this version by Trent feels like it's more personal. It's in that moment of pain, and loss, mourning, and the place you put yourself in. Someplace so dark and painful you don't know how long you've been there and if you deserve to even leave..

J Melo All narcissism aside...the older I get, the more shit decisions I make, and the more successes I have...the more I find this song poignantly relatable. It just hits the spot. It produces a contented depression that somehow brings me great peace. Perhaps this contrasting paradoxical feeling is due to the ability I have to be brutally honest with myself? I don't know, but that's how it makes me feel and the older I get, the more it seems to intensify.

Some people ask which is better the Johnny Cash or Nine Inch Nails version. The answer is both, it was never a competition.

Whoever is the last person on this earth better be listening to this song.

I was in my late teens when this song was released, but could not (thankfully) relate to this song in meaning or style. Now, in my 40s, having experienced marriage, kids, various life trauma and years of anxiety ( recently diagnosed about 10 years ago) this hits different. I also really love this unplugged version. I understand his pain now. The beauty of this song is that if you are blessed and live long enough...life will guarantee that you WILL relate to this song in some way eventually. No one makes it through life without hurting. But if you can hold on long enough and have faith, you will also see the joy in life as well which you won't appreciate as much without having experienced the hurt.

It's a fantastic song, for everyone arguing which version is superior...It doesn't matter. They're Trents lyrics, plain and simple. Where NIN gave us angst Cash gave us pain. He lent weight and a world weariness that Trent simply couldn't convey vocaly, but the meaning behind those words are something I think they both felt equally. They were both addicts, the difference being one was just finding his feet in the world while the other knew his days were coming to an end. Massive respect to both artists.

Unless you are in the late fall of your life you probably don't relate to Johnny Cash's version towards of the end of his life. "Reznor said. “What I had written in my diary was now superimposed on the life of this icon and sung so beautifully and emotionally. It was a reminder of what an important medium music is. Goosebumps up the spine. It really made sense. I thought: ‘What a powerful piece of art.’ I never got to meet Johnny, but I’m happy I contributed in the way I did. It wasn’t my song any more.” There is room for both versions as different and the same they are.

This is one of those songs that despite how skilled a musician may be, if they're not or have never been stuck in a specific kind of situation/condition, they simply can't make the song work. Painful, yes, but it manages to turn said pain into beauty mystically and majestically. It deserves a serious amount of appreciation

I don't think I could live without this song. It's on my permanent playlist. I can't think of any other song that expresses the essence and feeling of this hurt more than this one. It means different things to all of us. Some focus more on the addiction quality of it, others the loss of the happiness they sought in their lives, knowing now that it's not coming back...for others...something else. In a popular culture, where we're told to ignore all negative feelings and the pain and hurt that's happening inside us, this song is pure catharsis. Even if my hurt and loneliness never subside, I know that other humans do feel it. It makes me feel less lonely even though I'll likely be alone for the rest of my life.

I like this better than the album version.

As I get older and come back to this version, it hits a lot different. Especially the line " Everyone one I know, goes away in the end.." it makes me tear up because everything you love in life does eventually grow old and die. I watched my Dad die from addiction and hepatitis C when I was 25. My mom is starting to show signs of dementia which her mother died from a few years ago and my beloved dog " hunny" has cancer and is on chemo pills that makes her sick. Buddism says that everything in life is temporary which is a sad reality, and that all suffering comes from craving which I believe as well. I've lived a crazy life of addiction and legal troubles but have been clean over 4 yrs now. It just sucks that when I finally get my life together just to feel like I'm still losing my sanity sometimes. I'm still hanging on though and trying to be there for my loved ones while they are still here since they are all you have in the end.

I'll let you in on a big secret - a large part of it comes from the same place every other talent comes - hard work, practise and making a lot of mistakes. Yes, like any art you need a certain sensitivity to the subject matter, and with music you often need to be in the right place mentally to pick up on the inspiration and set it down before it's forgotten. The source of melodies can be anything from waking up with a certain melody in your head to just improvising and noodling on a keyboard or guitar until something you like comes up. However, you also need to work at it like anything else. Trent studied music theory, learnt to play a large number of instruments serviceably well, and no doubt spends a lot of time simply working on and working over song ideas to come up with the finished product. I also guarantee that in his early days he wrote a lot of awful, corny stuff that never got past his garage/bedroom and closest friends! I'm privileged to have heard a few talented musicians early efforts and the fact is - you have to start somewhere!

Oh man, getting nostalgic here... This song is one of the best musical memories I have. It was Hultsfred, NIN's first concert in Sweden. Got the big stage, played late so it was already dark when they got on stage. The weather was shit, had been shit all day. it was pouring, we were soaked, standing in mud and it was worth it every second. They came out, blasted songs back to back with no pause or talking, except for a brief comment before Starfuckers inc. "I just gotta say, you're a great fucking audience and I'm not used to saying nice things." (dawwh) Now, last number was this. Hurt acoustic, only Trent on stage. Blue strobes only on him, air fucking ice cold and him hot on stage meant he was LITERALLY steaming so it was quite surreal to start with. Picture standing in the freezing rain and listen to this goddamn masterpiece for the first time and imagine the chills we had :)

Whenever i listen to this song, it feels like i'm standing in a room made of mirrors :).

How many people think that Johnny Cash made this song...I here it all the time..pisses me off..This man right here deserves all the credit

I never tire of this song and especially this rendition. Trent is a genius. Now I've got to dry my eyes and pull myself together.

Max Décard All narcissism aside...the older I get, the more shit decisions I make, and the more successes I have...the more I find this song poignantly relatable. It just hits the spot. It produces a contented depression that somehow brings me great peace. Perhaps this contrasting paradoxical feeling is due to the ability I have to be brutally honest with myself? I don't know, but that's how it makes me feel and the older I get, the more it seems to intensify.

I know how you feel Tetsuo. This song touches so uniquely. Nothing else does it. This song is part of the permanent soundtrack of my own life. I just love it so much. And we all have Trent Reznor to thank for it. His music has touched us all, and I love the dude for it.

creepy final chord - perfect

Nine inch nails has a very haunting sound, this version was hauntingly beautiful. Bravo to true music and artists.

Those of us who have faced down bi-polar have lived every fucking drop of this song and do not appreciate any one or anything interrupting it.

Holy shit. I got chills as he sings so softly in some parts. He makes you feel the pain, truly.

This is a song written by Trent Reznor!!! It's a brilliant song: At least I think he deserves most of the appreciation even if Cash did a great job, covering this song

I still prefer Trent's version over Cash's - for me, Cash's version was a cheap rip off of the original.

+ikaika anderson it's called a cover. And Cash's cover is fantastic.

Are you high?

One of the most beautiful combinations of sound waves I've ever heard.

The original will always be my favorite. What a brilliant song.

Big thanks to Trent for helping with Katrina, every other person that talks about storms has forgotten Katrina..all the lives lost, homes destroyed, people STILL DISPLACED .. THEY don't even say Katrina when talking about worst storms, excuse me DISASTERS. .how DIRTY already forgotten... Thanks to Trent though...❤

I don't often talk about storms 'cause I (thankfully) live in a part of the world that's not affected by those storms but I'll always remember Katrina and the pictures I've seen will haunt me forever even though I live 5000 miles from NOLA and never been there.
