I must admit I've become somewhat addicted to watching people's reaction to this song. It always reminds me of a quote american comedian Bill Hicks said. "Life is like a ride, it goes really fast and sometimes slow with flashing lights and loud music and you meet people on the ride and sometimes people get to ride for a long time and sometimes just for a little while but..... it's just a ride".
Boy that is so true! In the timeline of life we are really only here for a super short period of time. Need to live life to the fullest everyday! Thanks for the view and comment.
Three months after the recording of this video (filmed at the closed House of Cash museum), June Cash passed away. Four months later, so did Johnny. He meant this song to be his last. When his daughter Nancy heard it, she said, "Dad it sounds like you're saying goodbye!" He replied, "I am."
One minor correction. His daughter's name was Rosanne, not Nancy. He had four daughters, Rosanne, Kathy, Cindy, and Tara by his first wife and it was Rosanne who had this conversation with her dad. He had two step-daughters, the daughters of June Carter Cash, and their names were Carlene and Rosie. Nary a Nancy in the bunch. He and June had one child, a son named John Carter Cash.
The song is awesome but he's really wanting some blackberry's from my childhood home that's really all he's thinking about while singing this song ! You have the absolute truth now live long and prosper!
that was his favorite piano in the video, and in the filming of this video unfortunately where we see him close the piano at the end, truly was his last time closing and touching that piano before we lost him.
I don't know about worldwide, but at least here in the UK Johnny Cash was a household name. This fits him so well, and feels so much like a song about growing old, that it's hard to picture it being written by someone in their twenties. Kudos to Johnny for the performance, but also to Trent for the song!
This song was actually a hard rock song in the beginning by nine inch nails, written about addiction and depression by trent reznor. Both elements are in johnnys version too as he struggled with both himself, but his version is much more affecting everyone because it deals with death and having to face regrets and a totality of your life. Something every single one of us is going to have to do. I think the most affecting part of the song was the last line, where he said if he could go back he would keep himself. At his heart Johnny was always a simple country boy who Loved music, but the label and his fans demanded he changed to become something more marketable. So he changed himself, and not always for the better as it brought addiction and depression and made him do things he regretted. At the end of our life it doesn't matter how much money you have or where you live if you're famous or just some average Joe on the street. Death doesn't care it will visit everyone equally. And all we have at the end of our life is not things, or even people because they do come and go throughout our life, the only thing we can take with us as our integrity and our soul. Don't sacrifice either one for anybody.
This was written by Trent Zezner of NINE INCH NAILS 😢 When he heard Johnny's version & video, he said "yeah,I wrote it, but it now belongs to Johnny Cash!!"!! Two entirety different meanings & yet you can get it!!! ❤😢😊
That's a cover version . Original song is listed under NIN(Nine Inch Nails) When Trent heard Mr Cash singing it he told him that he made the song his. Forever ❤️🔥
@@frontrowchaos4597 check out the original Nine Inch Nails version. While it's not the same the emotional impact is still there. ua-cam.com/video/Ty-bLdf8Bsw/v-deo.html
Slight error: when Reznor first heard the recording, he didn't really like it but when he saw the video he knew the song would now be Cash's forever. His actual quote: "I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore… It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning - different, but every bit as pure.”
When he played this for his daughter. She told him it sounds like you're saying goodbye. Johnny's answer "I am". Every legend has his farewell song. This one for Johnny. "Ole violin" by Johnny Paycheck. "Old Troubadour" Goerge Straight.
Hello my friend. Eamonn here from Ireland. I love rap music with the one we all of by now and that’s Tom McDonald. But I do like some country music too. But the only country singer I always listen to and that’s the LEGEND JOHNNY CASH. All his music is amazing and there was a film made on his life story and the film is called WALK THE LINE. I know after he made this song he died a few months later so this song was his last and this song is so so so amazing. What a song he made and to know this was the last song he would ever make. The song gave me goosebumps. That’s how great this song was. Such an amazing song it gives me chills. I think he is the best country singer of all time. And as for this song and the last song he would ever do is such a POWERFUL song. Anyway hope your haveing a great day. Catch up with you again at some point my friend. Cheers. 🇮🇪🇺🇸👍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Cheers, Eamonn! Glad you could join me again! Johnny is a real icon and this song is such powerful one. Thank you so much for your support, I really appreciate your time. Have a great day!
Muss weinen. NIN Hurt Live. Hach ....... So many good ballads und something i could never have. If you could read my mind und maybe tjeres a place ........
This is a great cover of a song originally by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). Reznor wrote it in the midst of depression and pain. You can find more details online, but when Johnny asked to cover it, Trent was worried it would be a gimmick. It felt invasive to him at first, like your girlfriend with another guy, because it was so personal to him. But he saw the video, was left crying, and by the end, it felt like it wasn't his song anymore.
In my country Johnny Cash was also a houshold name. This is really a heavy but amazing song. Don't know if it's true, but have heard that this was his last recording and that he never opened that piano again. You recently covered Sabaton, Bismarck. One of the lead guitarist there, Tommy Johansson, has also done a lot of solowork on his own channel where he covers both songs and guitar solos. He has a mighty voice you don't hear much in Sabaton, where he is only doing back vocals. He covered The Price from Twisted Sisters this autumn, released with a lot of footage from the Sabaton tour of The US recently. For me, his interpretation of that song is the price an artist has to pay, travelling away from home and family, to be that famous artist. You experience a lot, but it comes at a cost.Recommended listening.
I enjoyed the original nine inch nails song at the time but it did not resonate with my 20s self. Now I tear up every time I hear the Cash version. This has packs so much more of an emotional punch for me now. I am great full to Trent Resner and Mr. Cash
Johnny Cash sang about Jesus all his life and knew that he, like everyone ever born, is “dead in their trespasses and sin“ outside of God’s saving grace. It is reflected in the imagery of Christ being nailed on the cross that he knew that his were some of the sins paid for by that sacrificial death. In other words, the song reflects the famous saying that “Only one life, it will soon be passed, only what’s done for Christ will last.“ Thanks for the reaction.
Incorrect. Trent Reznor wrote it, Johnny filmed the video three months before his wife June passed away -- that's her on the stairs looking down at him. She was genuinely concerned because she thought he was working too hard.
If you would like to know a couple shortcuts that might help unless they conflict with your recording equipment. the left and right arrows on your keyboard rewind or advance the video by 5 seconds each time you tap them (If you recently adjusted the volume on the video this will raise and lower the volume so you have to click on the video at least once to control the video instead) The space bar pauses the video and resumes it instead of having to click pause all the time.
Good reaction. Shame you didn’t do a little research and realise this is a cover. It’s a perfect cover. Just some of your reaction is out of touch with the material
That's how I do it, I don't want to know anything about the video or song going in to get a honest reaction. That should be something all reactors should do, in my opinion. Sorry if I did not get some of the stuff but that is a true and honest first take.
I must admit I've become somewhat addicted to watching people's reaction to this song.

The bowl on the piano had no blackberry's in it it should help you to understand the truth

Not very often the cover song is as good or even better delivered than the original one ....
Thank you for your reaction 🙏
Thank you for your support, I really appreciate it.
It's not a cover. The songs are different songs. The words are just the same.
This was written by Trent Zezner of NINE INCH NAILS 😢 When he heard Johnny's version & video, he said "yeah,I wrote it, but it now belongs to Johnny Cash!!"!!
Two entirety different meanings & yet you can get it!!! ❤😢😊
It's one of the heaviest songs ever.
Truly this is one of the rare times that the cover was better than the original. RIP Johnny Cash.
That's a cover version .
Original song is listed under NIN(Nine Inch Nails)
When Trent heard Mr Cash singing it he told him that he made the song his.
Forever

#HANGoverGANG4Life
YES!!!
I think that even Nine Inch Nails singer (who originale wrote the song) said "this isn't my song anymore" after hearing this cover
So true, Johnny stole it as soon as he sung it. Thanks for the view and comment.
Great song! And btw, failure is ALWAYS an option. Don't box yourself in dude. ❤
Failure is an option, but Quitting is not! You are right.

So it is
Yes it is! Thanks for the view and comment!
Hard, hard to listen this song! ...hard to listen ...Live!
THIIS SONG IS ORIGINALLY BY 9 INCH NAILS
Thanks for that info. It is a great song.
This was his goodbye song
So powerful for sure! Thanks for the view and comment.
Ask not for whom the bell tolls...
But he didn't
bury them.
(should have, possibly, would have as a good catholic ;-)
I think he wrote this after his wife died
I heard it was just before she died, but I am not sure. Thanks for the comment.
Johnny didn't write the song, he covered it. Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails) wrote it.
@@CuttingEdge2808 AWESOME FACT !

This song is about heroin addiction. It's a cover. Nine Inch Nails recorded it first.
Such a powerful song!

Sorry.
