#JohnnyCash #Hurt #Remastered
I know I’m not the only one, but “everyone I know goes away in the end” hits harder and harder the older I get.
Your not the only one
Well I’ll see you in the end hope somethings there ?
Yep. Especially after "what have I become, my sweetest friend". Its a gut wrenching song, with different meanings, but both versions can rip you in two. Pure brilliance.
And we'll miss them. We always will. And is not a bad thing.
They do all go away, don't they? The reality of "life" is that it always ends in "death."
“Money can’t buy back your youth when you’re old, a friend when you’re lonely, or peace to your soul.” Johnny Cash
So fucking true the truest thing I ever heard
Thats beautiful
Money can’t buy love
That’s fucking deep , but so true ... everyone I care about goes away eventually... Just how it’s always been I honestly don’t know why
True men, but its ironic. His surname is Cash
During my last visit with my father , before he passed away, he made the comment that he’d not accomplished much. I was taken aback by this statement as he’d accomplished so much and was so giving of his talents and gifts to others. I later realized he was speaking as a man who could see his life coming to an end. We will always wish we could have done more. Rest in peace, my precious, beloved daddy, my hero.
So sorry for the loss of your father. I bet he was an amazing person ❤
❤❤❤love man ❤
Meu filho é apaixonado por esse cara,por sua história de vida ,seu grande amor e suas músicas. Acho que já viu o filme da vida dele uma dezena de vezes. Tenho 58 e meu garoto 20 anos,aprendi a gostar de J.Cash com meu filho. Deus abençoe você e receba J.Cash.
rest in peace GOAT 🕊🙏
We all leave behind our experiences and wisd9m. Sometimes, it is not that evident, little things are never forgotten
Your listening to a man that knows his days are numbered and it’s reflecting on what it all means
It didn't help him that June Carter went first.
A swan song for the ages. He passed very shortly after this was released.
And yet the song was written by someone fairly young
@@brian4180 Trent reznor. But does it really matter? Some times others can explain what we are trying to say better then we can
We all walk this path. A tragic mystery, we can only understand when we stand in its full embrace. My sweetest friend.
“One of the saddest and most memorable songs in all of history.”
It's not sad, it's power. The story of someone realising that they let it all go but can get it all back. But to do so they need to stand, and fight. Themselves.
ua-cam.com/video/KR4DjYczINM/v-deo.html it was a cover.... a good one but it was in fact a cover song
@@TurtleIsSlow2469 So what. It is considered to be one of the best covers and greatest videos of all-time. When the guy who wrote and originally performed the song remarks: "that song isn't mine anymore", that says it all.
Agreed
REM all around me is sadder
I’m not afraid of dying
I’m afraid of everyone I care about dying.
same

I am still right here
Yeah buddy❤😂
Nah sadly still back in the year 1984
@@captainman6914 can I borrow your time machine?
I think this might be the greatest song of the past 100 years.
Maybe
Come on man it's not that good, even on the Downward Spiral it's one of the weaker tracks. People love to listen to boring music, but I do respect this cover and I think it's interesting. Listen to the rest of the album though, it's much much better, I promise.
@@fr3kman37totally depends on your preference.
@@archaichermit3566 Yeah I always hear the “it’s subjective” argument because people are too afraid to discuss the actual quality of their favorite music. I mean I like some of Doja Cat’s music, but she’s not the most quality artist. Suggesting that this is the best cover song ever is insane.
Its not just the song,..Its about the meaning of life,....And death,... @fr3kman37
I read that Cash felt that a year after his death, the world would have forgotten about his music and his life...
169 million views...
RIP, Sir...
Very well put!
ABSOLUTELY NEVER would we have forgotten this man's amazing life and story or music! I just introduced the 18yo on the line at the factory last night to this amazing artist with the song "One Piece at a Time ".
this video had something like 50M views back before they deleted the 'unofficial' channel's video and put this up. It was one of the most viewed music videos on youtube at the time.
...well after all every one of us is still searching for the comfort in The Music... Depending on our in-the-time situation we do apply for ourselves "something" that soothes our minds... The "Hurt" fills everything I need at the moment... It is just PERFECT
169 million views and counting. Nobody should forget Johnny Cash and the impact he made on this world.
Cash's version of this song is great, but the old footage interspersed throughout the video just enhances the meaning and pushes it over the top. Like life flashing before his eyes in his final days.
Wow
So true 💔
So true
Oh damn y'all here too for the free snacks
Love your channel guys!
Who's still listening in 2024?!...
Not them
Here
This is the anthem of a man realizing what matters in life.
I don’t think there has ever been a more pure look into the window of someone’s soul than this recording. It’s a masterpiece.
Masterpiece, how this man reflects on his past, it's real.
It's extremely fitting that he didn't write the song either, just like all his other shit
Seems like you don't know that it is just a cover and not his song at all.
@@wizewizard1840 Of course I know that Trent Reznor wrote the song. But it takes on a whole different perspective with Johnny Cash singing it. The song is applicable to both of them. But as Reznor said, “the Song is no longer mine anymore”. To me, it’s like Reznor Received this song From that magical place where songs come from and he was just a vessel to get the words to Johnny Cash. And the rest is history as they say. Kudos to Rick Rubin for getting this out of Johnny Cash.
@@frankinvan You should look up the rest of that quote, you're taking completely out of context. Trent still plays his superior version of his song live. The woman beater Cash received Trent's song from that magical place he received every other one of his songs from, an actually literate song writer.
The way his voice and hands shake, and the pain in his eyes, oh boy it gets me
Sorry for intruding into your privacy, lovely song, how re you doing.
Yes
@@dividscott5377 Creepy
@@dividscott5377 bro that’s a minor
@@dividscott5377 even on UA-cam you're creepy as fuck
"I will keep myself". most important words. never sell yourself.
Doesn't matter how old you are but when you sing this one, you'll sing as if you're 84..
An old man reflects on his life before he faces eternity. God bless Johnny Cash's soul.
Amen brother, amen....
@8-Bit Andy With everything going on in the world in these current times, I believe you're very right. Soon.
Perhaps he may become a highway man again.
@@ShainAndrews I don't doubt for you there was seemingly nothing, however I believe it differs for many people. For example some people who have died and been revived have recounted seeing their loved ones that have passed, seen Saint Peter, Jesus/heaven, seen their loved ones still alive from above, some have even seen what could resemble hell, scary things etc.
@@KickingAssDaily another awesome tune
An old man facing his end, looking back at everything he’s ever done, knowing he’s gonna die soon. Such a sad song...
Sad yet beautiful.
U must find joy in the life u were giving make it a good one because it's the only lufe it going to have
The saddest part for me is :"everyone I know, goes away, in the end." My grandfather said once something similar to me, and this makes me scared of being old.
The sadness I've always thought of, is that people cannot possibly live long enough to see the true depth of their works. I don't always care for his music, but this song just gets me. And as long as the song exists, it will touch people. Maybe he DID get to start again. He died as a man, and was reborn in the spirit of his music.
His wife, June Carter, that we can see in the video, died a couple of months after the video was filmed. Johnny Cash died 4 months after her.
This video is an epitaph.
I lost my father when I was 9, he had a stroke and I found him in the floor. Since that day, this song always makes me cry for thinking he couldn´t be here to see me grow. I´m not a religious guy but I´m pretty sure he´s up there looking and guiding me. Hope you all have a good day.
I'm sorry for your loss, i hope you're doing better
I’m sorry for your loss, I lost mine at 13. He’s watching you at all times and I’m sure he’s proud
Feel sorry für you
Oh wow, I'm so sorry for your loss...
That must've been painful for you to see...
My deepest condolences to you...
Amen...
Don't judge a man until you walk a mile in his shoes
Im not too much of an emotional person but wow. This song just had me blubbering. Watching a man near the end of his life coming to truly accept the worthlessness of worldly things just hits me.
You should check out his song "The man comes around". Oof that shit is pretty powerful too and beyond biblical rapture shit.
Me too
@@Superkaioken87 I just checked it out. Thank you for introducing that to me. I love that Johnny probably has plenty of non Christian fans, but he isnt afraid to reference the Bible.
It is almost he would have been a bad man, in the way he says, wouldn't he? I don t say he was.
@@untio i think as hes reflecting he now starts to see that all the money and fame he had and all the people he knew cant save him from facing mortality.
Hearing Cash refer to all of his wealth and fortune as an “empire of dirt” really hits you right in the soul
I saw this on a friend's 50-inch TV, really loud,I starting crying,went past all my defense,hit "home", being an American-born songwriter living in Sweden...
@@chadtheboris wouldn’t go that far
I know he didn't write this song but it resonated with him because of its message. What really matters at the end of our lives isn't the awards, promotions or financial success. What counts are the decisions we've made and how they affected others. I hope this was cathartic for him and that he also remembered he did a lot of good things.
@@chadtheboris means a lot when you can ensure your kids kid’s grandchildren will have good lives
It truly does
cant stop crying, every time
It's sad, but I really understand. I know what it's like, but have hope, hold on to it if you have to, it often seems to disappear, but it's still here.
We are all human 😢 ❤
It hits differently as you become older and reflect on your life
🫂💛
@@carlosthomazevangelista476
I want to be angry at this but you're absolutely right.
Watch this immediately after watching “Walk the Line” (2005) & it really hits hard
You didn’t let us down,
But you did make it hurt.
Rest in peace, Johnny

even trent reznor said this was johnny's song now. it just goes to show how truly powerful and impactful his version is
it never will be his song
@@icehot900 either way, he made the song his own and did a damn good job, and if it wasn't that powerful, then reznor would not have made that statement
I love this song! I really don't care for Johnny Cash Or Nine inch nails.
@@icehot900 at this point, it is lol
I heard him say that when he didn't quite know what to think of it yet, implying he didn't like it but when he saw this video he got it
it’s beautiful that this song was originally sang by a young man who was searching for himself that was just beginning life, and was then covered by a man at the end of his life looking back at his accomplishments and wishing he could go back. truly beautiful, and truly one of the greatest covers of a song ever.
Same can be said of his cover of "In My Life"
And realized it was all "dirt."
What tops it all off is Trent gave Johnny the song. Not because it was Johnny Cash, because he put more power to the words he written. A rare instance of giving back the torch so he could burn that much brighter.
@@uncleseamus4289
"Reznor was initially unsure about Cash covering his song, fearing that it would be “gimmicky”, and he was not blown away when he first heard Cash’s version. But when he saw the video, this changed. With “tears welling, silence, goosebumps”, he recognised its significance.
Reznor’s “valentine to the sufferer” at that point became Cash’s swan song. After watching it, Reznor said: “That song isn’t mine any more.”
---The Financial Times
'nuff said you said it best
I love this version. It’s just a man at the end of his life singing about what it’s like to be human. The truth in this song speaks to my soul. Such a great version.
Agree!! And yes

Hallelujah, time passes and never stops, but beautiful songs remain forever.
Thank you Mr. Cash
When I was a young man, the first two lines were the leitmotif of my life coming from an abused childhood.
By grace, feeling was restored. I have lived to over 80 and life has been rich with love and agony.
If you are young, do not give up. Blessings await you when you stay alive.
Thank you
even in 2020, we still miss you, Johnny.
He had a hell of a life
On god
Very true

He's *71,* his voice is wearing out, he's 6 months away from dying, but he still picked up his guitar and did the best he could do. LEGEND!
Not just did his best but the best. This song can never been done better.
he didnt play the actual melody, did he? i've heard he wasnt able to.
Sounded like a goodbye and sorry for past hurts. Nine Inch Nails cant touch that old boy.
RIP Man In Black
@@brodie2005thegamer I've looked and there's no reports of Clint Eastwood's death, Alex Trebek is dead tho
Man, it hurts, no pun intended. I know a 76 year old and the day he dies will be the worst thing to happen to me.
Every time I watch this, I just sit quietly when it's over. Art like this deserves your reverence.
Is your life boring as your pfp?
What a man. What a legend still listening to you Cash in 2024
Reznor's version is a young man battling self-destructive tendencies.
Cash's version is an old man near the end of his life, looking back on past regrets.
Reznor said in an interview after hearing Johnny Cash's cover it was weird. He realized the song wasn't his anymore.
@@patraic5241 i just decided to learn playing this song today like right now.and yeah I saw that interview where Trent said it's not his song anymore. Thats comming a lot from someone like him his songs are too personal.
Crazy how the exact same song can be two totally different songs at the same time!
@@patraic5241 originally he hated the cover. Saying it was like someone fucking his girlfriend. After seeing it blow up and actually listening to it he admitted it was like realizing "his girl" was better off with someone else.
@@R0FLC4T5 not exactly true. He liked it when he watched the music video before it was all released and that's when he understood it and fell in love with the cover.
Seeing a young man regret his life decisions is sad, but we know they have time to make plenty of good decisions in the future. Seeing Johnny Cash here, at the end of his life, is straight up tragic. The way he sings it with so much emotion, the fantastic video showing his legacy and life. It's the most heart-breaking piece of media ever.
Why did it got deleted?
@@lukasrbic6008 Because they wanted to upload it in this channel i guess

Probably number 400 of watching and I’ve never made it through without crying. He did something next level here
One thing I noticed that shows how powerful and encaptivating this song is is that when you hover over the play bar, there are no spikes or sudden drop-offs; it's a solid line. Nobody is skipping to any part; they all want to hear it start to finish.
There is one spike. The beginning….

It's tough losing a loved one my friend keep your spirits High know that there's love in this world to fill your heart By all knowing and powerful creator ELOHIM who loves you dearly kind of Savior Jesus Christ who makes it possible for you to return and see him and love him embrace it.. please know that your father is closer than you know. veil is very thin and if you take a moment to stop and pay attention you'll see that he's always nearby touching your heart from the other side.

I know that they're close and their love is for you and they're helping all they can are helping me and your family's helping you my friend.
I'm 71... this song makes me cry like a baby.... the closer you get to The End. The more profound this song becomes...😢
Thank you, That means the song will get 21 years better for me before I am your age. And I already love it with all my heart. This is the soundtrack to ROCK BOTTOM. :)
It feels heavy for me and I'm just 13
I'm 45 mate and this song still makes me cry like a baby 😢and I grew up with the original nine inch nails song 😢 it doesn't belong to Trent razor anymore 😢
Just 28, but..ç
@Isaac Gould little brother... don't worry to much. Just have fun.
It's just a gamble from day 1.
This reminds me of my father so much, 53 years old, 11 years since my father died and still I cry when I hear this. I grew up with Johnny Cash since my father loved his music which made me love it too. Even if this is a cover, it is the impact of his voice and the feeling that he means what he sings, just not words but a truth.
Man, this is just so moving. I have watched it many times and it always reduces me to tears. R.I.P Johnny Cash.
me too
Can’t get through this song without getting choked up. Never has someone so completely owned a cover song like Johnny did here.
five finger death punch gone away !
Hendrix all along the watchtower
Storm Ghost that ones up there. Jimi certainly made that song his own. The difference for me is that the entire perspective and view point of the song changed between Cash’s and Trent’s versions. You can sense Johnny feeling his own interpretation of the lyrics.
It is amazing - as is the original from 9 inch nails what about Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
@@Ralphanthonybianscomusic you're right, hendrix make watchtower 100x more awesome but cash took hurt, combined it with his own life and pain, and completely changed the song

While I'm not usually a Cash fan, I love his version of this song. What I can't believe is that he's only 70 here. I just turned 70 on 3/22, and he looks so much older here than I am. Must be due to all he went through. He sure was a legend, and very talented.
Trent said himself that Hurt is Johnny's song which proves how talented he was. R.I.P Johnny Cash, you will be missed.
This isn't a song . This is something beyond just music. This is the representation of an broken down Soul
but what happened he had committed?
It's Heart wrenching
Heartfelt comment here, I listened to this song when I was severely depressed. I'm gonna be honest there was a period of time where I didn't want to do it anymore. But looking back I think this song was somewhat soothing to me. The lyrics are so relatable bc as u said they're a representation of a broken down soul which is how I felt. I'm thankful for this song existing, it made me feel understood. FYI I'm fine now, those days are long behind me :))) but just thought I'd share anyway
@@orlandopercyromeromachuca4640 his wife had died, he died not long after this. This song isn't an original Johnny Cash song though, it's originally done by Nine Inch Nails
After so many wars I decided I will become me.
What hurts the most was the fact that Cash was ready to leave, the tiredness of his voice says it all.
😢
I think he had come to peace with his past, forgiven himself, and found happiness with God and June. When she was gone, I think he was ready to join her.
I think his wife passing was the nail in his coffin. He had no reason to stay anymore. Exactly what my granpop told me when my grams passed, " Just waiting impatiently to be reunited with my best friend cause the world is cold and dark without her!" were his words. They were together since she was 14 & she passed at age 69. Anywhats, yes... u can hear the weariness in his voice.

@@riotgirrrlwise5513 Hey, I hear you . Weren't our folks the best? Let's teach our kids the same.!
Mr.Cash was much more than a singer, he was an Existential Poet, an Iconic Legend who suffered much... Through his music & Lyrics, he channeled/"exorcised" his life filled with hurts & pains. There was a lesson to be learned in each and everyone of his songs. Thank you Mr.Cash for the genuine and authentic person that you were. May you rest in peace wherever you may be. 💐💜🖤

Im a 13 year old boy, and I have always admired Johnny Cash, and in all my heart I say that I can just see the pain in this poor mans heart, and when I say I cried, I mean I really cried hard. You can see this poor mans pain, and it really hurts to see a fine gentleman like Johnny Cash suffer with pain. I was raised around both my mother, and my grandpa, and being around my grandpa taught me about hundreds of amazing song writers and legends, and one of those ledgends would be a Man In Black, Johnny Cash.
It's hard to argue that this isn't the best cover version ever recorded. Even Trent Reznor agrees.
It's taken me many years to be able to listen to this without crying.

But we remember everything 😑🙏
It is influential beyond words..
This song still hits hard
Not as hard as my dads belt does..

do you checkmarked people just reply to random popular stuff to promote your channel?
Good old days

2024, 35, going through a divorce, financial issues, depression... This song hits me really really hard now, Johnny.
Be strong, the pain will pass and you have a new life ahead. Focus on the future, that you will be in control of.
keep your chin up. life is beautiful, as are you.
I wish you so much luck going through it...
He had nothing and had everything. He then achieved everything and yet had nothing in the end.
He knew that his time was limited. This was his goodbye.
And it was a perfect one
All our time is ...
he didn't want to do this song, it was Rick Rubins idea.
@@areshotrod6395 Wasn't it, though! This song is a BRILLIANT summation of Cash's career. Trent wrote a masterpiece with this song, and Cash made that masterpiece come to life with so much emotion.
and to think he didn't want to do this song originally i am so glad he managed to do it and see himself back on top one last time before he went away (not to mention the execution is brilliant)
"Everyone I know goes away in the end."
That line hits the hardest.

Thats because it is true
It reminds me of red dead redemption 2
The sad thing about living into advanced old age.
Yes, it does.. doesn't it?
If ever a singer & a song were the perfect marriage this is it

Trent wrote the song but Johnny made it a masterpiece - his own swan song!
When he closes the piano and caresses it at the end, it's a very special moment. Thank you Johnny for all the music.
From what I read it has never been opened again, and there is no intention to do so in the future from his family.
It's like closing the lid on his coffin
You stay the hell away from me you hear
dealing empires, ok, something in the background tells me that neither Russia, India, China r Japan ever had a QUEEEN. so forget britannia rules the world
Schindlers list, the needle tears a whoele..the other stuff Luouisianna or slavery orgingianl times?
the fact that there are so many people(including me) who can feel this pain and grief is sad but astonishing and the older you get the more you can understand him
I know him through his way of connecting with us the music is just a vehicle
U cannot escape it unless u follow me.
😔🇧🇷😘
I think .... that his pain was/is real .... and the "way", he expresses it through this Song goes deep in people hearts, who felt or feel that pain. The Artist, is all about expression. A good Artist is able to express his subjective reality to the people, so that their reality gets shaped by the Artist. Or shorter: Johnny Cash is a Legend !
Very true, I know your pain 💜✌️
One of those rare occasions when the video truly enhances the song and takes it to a much higher level.
The poignancy of a legendary musician at the end of his life, perfectly conveyed.
“You are someone else, and i am still right here”
It’s a testament to Trent Reznor’s brilliance and honesty in writing this song that the feelings he had as a young man in his 20s are so accessible to an old man like Johnny Cash. It proves that the best art comes from our experiences, and that we are all the same no matter our age. We feel it when young Mr. Reznor sings it-but it hits so much harder with Johnny Cash-because he is out of time. It motivates me to make good choices while I still can. Not every song can do that.
@PlasmaStorm73 [N5EVV] Boy!! I'd love to hear Trent do this song in 10 years time!!
Also the fact that after hearing this recording Trent Reznor just went "That's not my song anymore."
@@PlasmaStorm73N5EVV You say that as if Johnny Cash didn't have his own fun romp through addiction, and didn't lose people he loved because of it. The old man knew EXACTLY the young mans feelings, and just knew how to make them sound better with the exact same lyrics.
God that's so fucking insightful and such a beautiful sentiment.

Amen
It's a cover of 9 inch nails. But yeah, it's kinda his song now, probably the best cover ever.
@@CarlosFlores-bn3lz Everyone knows that, Trent Reznor even said it isn't his song anymore. Absolutely the best cover in history
@@justinb3209 if someone says that the cover is now the original song,then you know that the person who did it deserved
This was quite literally Cash's final farewell song to the world. It was filmed in February 2003. His wife, June Cash (seen in the video at 2:34), died 3 months after this video was made in May 2003. Cash died just 4 months after his wife at the same hospital as his wife in September 12, 2003. At the time of this filming, Johnny Cash and his wife were both experiencing serious health problems. He surely spent a lot of time reflecting on his life and mortality during these painful times.
Santo Diego where do you see that he calls him a Hero?!
@Santo Diego let he among us without sin be the first to condemn
2:05 “I cannot repair” he turns his head to show his face that still droops from a stroke. He sits in front of a table of rotting food. He had autonomic neuropathy which means causes the stomach to severely delay emptying among other symptoms. This video is such an amazing use of visual metaphor
@Santo Diegothey didn't mention anything of him being a hero, they were just sharing a sad fact about the video
Santo Diego Yeah. When he was like 20, and than he dropped drugs and got married in. 1968 and lived married to June for like 33 years
He saved his best work to the very end.
You can feel the emotion coming from Johnny Cash in this song. His wife passed not long before this at can tell this summed everything up he felt.
i like the line "you can have it all, my empire of dirt." Its shows no matter how much material wealth you acquire, it doesn't mean anything at the end of your life.
But with material wealth, cheese!
But it does; to the people (family) you leave behind. Medical bills, funeral costs debt just as examples. I recently had to bury my mother. It cost my wife and I a little over $10,000. My mother was not great at managing her finances.
Very inspiring
@@kevinmarshall808 I think they meant, “you can’t take anything with you when you die.” type of thing. No matter how much money or possessions you claimed while living, when you die everything that was holding you to this earth disappears like vapor.
@@ephemeral783: I understand that, I was just trying to make a point. Always, and I do mean always, prepare for the inevitable so your family does not suffer the financial consequences.
9 Inch Nails "Hurt": A man slowly losing his mind wanting to die.
Cash's "Hurt": A tired old man who is ready to die.
mrquackadoodlemoo really shows it in his voice. Plus the fact that he died 7 months after this
@Lorem Ipsum Jonny cash was talking about heroin abuse as he was a successful rehab patient, the song is about how drugs destroy the person and their family.
Thank you. That was a nice add.
Ki Joyce No he wasn’t because he didn’t write the lyrics
Aedon L. Actually yes he was . He was quoted saying he wish he wrote this
I was watching Professor of Rock when I learned that this song was covered by a lot of other musicians after originally being created by Trent Reznor, which at first Trent was not happy about Johnny Cash doing this, but when he watched the music video Trent changed his mind and knew it was not his song. Two very talented musicians. I can't watch this video without feeling the emotions behind it. Thank you Trent Reznor and Johnny Cash for this amazing song.
Every single time I hear this song brings tears to my eyes, sometimes I need to hear it to appreciate life, friends and family......one thing I know that goes up but doesn't come down is AGE!
The fact an old man sitting on a chair singing about sad things in life makes me fucking cry ...
Yeah, same. The sad thing is we're all doomed to that same fate. Everyone we know goes away in the end. :(
Hes talking about being addicted to heroin,,,,in case you couldn't tell. And the way it affects your friends and family. Now go listen to the song again. And understand the real pain.
@@gildog391 By the way, I forgot to mention in my rant, pay attention to the video Mr. Righteous Brave Heart. Clearly you're capable of reading between the lines whereas the rest of us can't.
@@netkosent1620 dang brother. I apologize. Was just making an observation based on life experience. I meant no harm.sorry brother
@@gildog391 Nah, you don't need to apologize bro. I was being a dick about it and could have went about it like a normal dude. I should be the one to apologize. I'm having a extremely shit day and took it out on you man. I apologize about that. NIN's version, the original, was exactly as you said. That's how the song itself was created. Cash used it for other purpose, which also included his addiction, and even with that being the case, I was being a real dick about it. Anyways, I apologize for that and really have no ill intent toward you for what you said. Truly hope you have a good evening man and again, sorry about being a shit head.
R.I.P. Johnny Cash. This version, with how close to his death it was and with how much experience it's sung, gives that song a really special feel to it.
R.I.P
a god of the music
Is it possible to see museum or house he lived? I am European living in California and my company will send me to work 2 weeks in Henderson. His music was very popular in my country.
The links above suggest, at least, that his last primary home burned to the ground after his death, but I'm not sure about that. @@modricaninmodricki7559
@@modricaninmodricki7559 in *Nashville, Tennessee there's a Johnny Cash museum
Still chokes me up, decades later.
My life has been full of heartbreaks and letdowns. I used rock to this song when NIN came out with it. I somehow found myself at 50 with a fent addiction and lots of misery. I decided to go to the mountains. On the drive I was reflecting on all those I’ve lost and all of those I’ve letdown and how cruel this world can be to the good ones. I felt like I was living with ghosts who couldn’t hear me trying to say I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you needed me most. I thought I was broken but then this song came on and a flood of pain just tore through me. It was as if every lyric was written from the pages of my soul. This song hit like nothing I’ve ever known. Music is powerful stuff
Robert, thanks for your great words. At the end money and property is nothing, but love to the family will stay! Best out of Germany.
jesus
@@average_teen4226 ,yes, this song is with Jesus!
Thank you, all the Best and Greetings out of Germany!
This was Johnny’s way of goodbye to everyone. We truly don’t appreciate what we have to it’s gone forever, we miss you Mr. Cash.
Source? Not doubting you but I've always thought that this was just him coming to conclusions that he doesn't have long left on earth so he wanted to make one last song *"beneath the stains of time"* sings to me that he knows he's on his way out but I didn't know if this was genuinely a goodbye or not 😢
@@Kronorium this was never a problem before and I hate when people say "source" as if what someone is saying isn't true. If you know you know, sadly that's how it is, or you could do some simple research but even then this generation somehow can't even do that right. I remember when this song was a lot newer and everyone understood the message and felt it, but now somehow the next generation completely forgets everything and needs scientific proof of a song, most of this generation can't even dissect music and are trying to question others as if something isn't right. Everything you need to know is right in front of you if you slow down and look at what's going on.
@@4oh8cal grow up!
@@4oh8cal You do know this was a cover, right? Trying to attribute something to a song without even knowing the facts is a problem with the older generations, feeling their opinion sometimes has meaning even if it is uninformed and not supported by the facts.
tl:dr Ok boomer
@@bassoijer9227 I know it's a cover but people running around asking "source" as if something isn't true is ridiculous. If someone says something that doesn't make sense you have the whole internet to figure it out. And like I said, do some basic research.
I'm a grown man nearly 60 years old and I've heard this song countless times, yet I can't help but cry each time I hear it.
Me too. I feel every word deep in my soul. God bless
I cry as well brother.
Alex Trebek & Bruno Mars have died.
You cry like me because we are all fragile humans trying to wriggle our way through the ant hill of life. Stay strong 💪🏼
@@brodie2005thegamer the fuck are you talking about
An absolute triumph. An epitaph for a life lived fully.
Johnny cash , you have been the greatest singer that i've ever known , and i hope that's the same to alot of people.
May you rest in peace , cash
It's crazy to think that his health was failing while singing this song. Rubin said sometime he couldn't even get the words out they'd sou d so raspy... The fact he took the song and sang it going through all the health problems he was facing, then the lyrics of this song with him singing just makes it so powerful. Especially know his life's story and what hes ben through. What a life and what a way to end it. He'll be remembered forever through all of us. Mental health is a real issue that many people ignore. Legendary cash.
A legend
His family commented that he sounded like he was going to die. " I am."
100% so real.
@Evan Jon truth
I believe few people truly understand the depths of this song, many might think they do, and maybe that’s enough, but for those of us that experienced it in an all to similar way; living more in one lifetime than most would ever do in 20 lifetimes. From the greatest highs and feelings of invincibility to the oblivion of addiction and the ever-encompassing sadness. He sang this song -Hurt, because he LIVED it. Every word, feeling, and verse was him, all the pain, anger, lies, addictions, sorrow, and regrets of a lifetime summed up in a song that, although he didn’t write, he could leave the world with.
Cash's version touches a man to the core...
I may have only been on this earth for 15 years... it still does and forever will
@@mikehawk9773 ikr
Malik Hamidon Trent’s version is like someone who’s going insane and is about to kill himself. Cash’s is like that he’s ready to die from age.
Yes. Yes it does. In an insane way
@@mondobananas1832 I've been there in Trent's version. And Cash's version is true to what you say, he misses his buddies as apparent with a table laden out for a banquet for one
“What have I become, my sweetest friend…”
😢 Mr Cash this is one of the best songs ever 😢 May God bless you in heaven 😢
This is Johnny Cash's last video. Just a few months later his Wife, June, died then a little over 3 months later Johnny died. He just couldn't live without his Lady! This song is so close to my heart.
No its not. He recorded 5 more songs because his wife, June, said to always record songs. And he agreed with that so he recorded a lot. Then he died
Last video.
@@n7nja851 Your Right.. And what I meant. Thank you!!
@@EnergeticSpark63 You are absolutely right I actually meant last video which I will correct. But Thank you for schooling me!!
@@Breezy-bv9te I figured that's what it was. Have a wonderful day!
The most terrifying thing about these lyrics is how they are delivered. This is just totally open and soul baring
Not sure that "terrifying" is the right way to put it, but he certainly sings the song with meaning and conviction.
Because it's utterly truthful
It’s sad, he knew he was dying and it was bc of a broken heart😢
It's terrifying good, cause it's sung with so much defenceless truth.
I have no doubt Johnny has been redeemed and resurrected into eternal life and reunited with his wife and his soul no longer remembers, or feels that hurt and pain he bore in this mortal life.
Amen
the older I get the more this hits home... hug your parents every chance you get.
