Original Song:
• Johnny Cash - Hurt - Розваги
This was filmed in February 2003. His wife, June Carter (seen standing behind him in the video), died in May that same year. Johnny died a few months later in September. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, the original songwriter, said after hearing the cover with it's accompanying video, "that song isn't mine anymore."
The video was named the best video of the year by the Grammy Awards and CMA Awards, and the best video of all time by NME in July 2011.
I personally fell on love with Johnny Cash through my grandfather, who used to sing rather well next to his record player, and Cash was among his most favourite artists. We will never have another like him, he was truly one of a kind.
This was his farewell performance, he died not long after. He didn't write these lyrics, but he definitely lived them.
For sure. It really could be his own words, his own story..well, it is. He just didn't, as you say, write them.
He changed 1 word... 🤷
I disagree..
His actual "farewell performance" was a performance of "Ring of Fire" that his late wife June wrote. It was the last thing he performed. There's a video of it.
To me he knew he was towards his end and it was.his broken heart ,but it wasn't his last performance, but he past within 2 weeks of the video
@@JawsVader1970 2 weeks of what video?
One hell of a farewell letter. The moment he closes the lid of the piano at the end kills me every time.
Rumor has it was the last time he played that piano too.
knocks me on my ass too...every time
It's like closing a casket
It is so sad when some reactors don't watch the video all the way through and miss this moment. It has so much to it that it gets you even after seeing this dozens of times... I don't know much about Cash, but this, this hurts...
@@timometsanoja9666 it's like in Monsters when reactors stop the video before James Blunt's dad gives James a comforting pat on the arm
The closing of the piano was significant because it is said he never opened it again. This was the last recorded music of his career.
I have seen dozens of reactions on this song. You are the first one who does not only mention the pouring of the wine, but who goes into a detailed analysis of it. For me this is the most heartbreaking scene in this video. The pouring of the wine is like he's pouring out his life on the table before the final curtain falls. It is also symbolizing that his fame, the money, the golden records he has gained is worth nothing in the end. I wonder why almost no-one has said anything on this little detail so far. The pouring of the wine is essential for me. And see his shaking hand as he does so. Heartbreaking.
Even Trent said this deserves to be remembered as a Johnny Cash song.
No he didn't you lying prick, I've been keeping steadfast on Johnny Cash fans trying to take this from Trent. Trent did say that Cash: "Made it his own song", as in the sound, instruments, tone, etc. But "Hurt" *_SHOULD_* be remembered as Trent's Song, since... I don't know, it was *HIS LIFE* *_HIS_* troubles, *_HIS_* *GENIUS* that Wrote, Composed, Played and *_ACTUALLY_* lived it.
Please correct me if I wrong and cite your source that Says Trent said it "Should be *_remembered_* as a Cash song"... cause close to if not *OVER* a decade ago It was reported that "Trent Reznor did a *_COVER_* of a Cash song" and I've been pissed about it since.
Don't get me wrong, Love Mr. Cash, Love this performance, but I *REFUSE* to let the *FANS* of the more popular singer, *STEAL* the soul of Trent. It was TRENT'S *_EVERYTHING_* that made this song, Cash is just a *_similar_* person who loved *_TRENT'S_* song, and wanted to bring it to more people, *NOT* to take it, but to *SHARE IT!*
Sharing... is caring....but
Taking.... is *FAKING*
I always saw him closing the piano at the end to be him closing the lid on a casket of his life and career.
I am 77 years old and have watched this video many times. That closing of the piano has such a sense of finality to it it sucks the tears out every time. We go thru this life and do all these things and in the end wonder what was/is the point. That thought hits really hard
This is powerful because of regret.
Everybody knows it, everybody feels it.
Allegedly his daughter told him that this song sounds like a farewell. He said yes.
Shortly thereafter, his wife died, and shortly thereafter, he died. The picture in the video is probably his mother.
So many people keep saying that, but can't get anyone to show me where she said that.
I watched a documentary where she was interviewed, and she talks about them showing her this video and her crying, but she didn't say that.
@@Gutslinger I just read an interview with Kathy Cash from 2013 and she didn't say it in that either.
"The first time he showed me “Hurt” was in his office. I just started crying and he asked, “What’s the matter, honey?” And I said, “It’s so sad but it’s beautiful!” He said, “Aw, that’s art! It’s part of life.” I said, “I know, but watching it is really hard.” He said, “Look at it from an artistic point of view.” He was trying to talk me out of being upset, but it’s hard to watch. That was obviously his goodbye song, he did record several after that, but that was hard. I still have a little trouble watching it."
Actually Johnny himself said in 2003:
"I certainly didn't want the piece to appear like a premature obituary," he said. "That wasn't the intention, and I hope the piece doesn't come across that way."
🤷♂
@@daz_n People attribute the exchange as being between him and his daughter Roseanne Cash. According to that quote you got from his other daughter, she viewed it as a "goodbye".
But that last quote that you gave of Johnny seems to debunk that story that people keep repeating about him basically saying it was him saying goodbye.
It reminds me of how LotR fans claim different allegories existing in the LotR, despite the writer Tolkien himself writing in the foreword of the 2nd edition that there aren't any, and that he despises allegories in all of its manifestations.
A lot of people over-romanticize their interpretation of the Hurt video, given how soon Johnny passed afterwards. And they talk about it as if Johnny was a sad regretful man at the end of his life. When in actuality, if you watch late interviews of him, he's actually a very faithful man who was very much at peace.
@@Gutslinger Yeah I couldn't find anything attributed to Roseanne...
Don't get me started on LOTR dude. 😂
@@daz_n 😆 I'm actually reading LotR for the first time, myself. Finally, after 20+ years.
I'm only at the part where the fellowship is leaving Lothlórien.
I am 73 and it have already started to deal with the idea that too many people are gone. I had a group of male friends, work friends 4 of them to be exact. We were friends even after we went our separate ways and our careers and now I'm the only one left. Pretty much everybody from the neighborhood I grew up in is gone. No my wife is seriously ill and we don't know how long we have left buried it's a strange experience getting old. It's not at all what I expected. And now it looks like I want to spend my final years alone. That stinks.
You get to a certain age and you realize that Life is taking more than it is giving.
You mentioned Johnny closing the lid of the piano. That shot was the last time he sat there playing that piano, and it was the last time he closed that lid.
When it comes to me, I was raised listening to his music so I knew his songs well. I also listened to Nine Inch Nails (much to the annoyance of my parents) and knew Trent's work. When I heard this version by Johnny, I felt a loss of my grandfather. He was my world and no matter how bad things were, he'd tell jokes and do everything he could to put a smile on my face. So when I heard Johnny singing this song, it feels like it's my grandfather singing this song and it's emotionally crippling. I'm not one to get overly emotional, but this song breaks me.
Thank you for taking the time to react to this song.
Thank you very much for sharing what this song means to you. I am sincerely sorry for your loss. I hope someday the song can feel less crippling and more like a balm. A glimpse of healing and hope. That he’s resting. That he’s ok and that you are ok too. Hold on.
I'm 66 years old and I still find myself lying to myself that I'm pretty young, heh. Life has gone by so fast and the older you get the faster it seems to go. Where did all the years and decades vanish? All the people we lose as we get older. Family members, friends, our idols. Singers whose songs we've always listened to, actors we've watched in the movies all our lives, etc. - When you're younger, you don't think about these kind of things, but at some point you start to notice it around you.
This song hits way different than the original, because of the perspective. Originally it was a young man's perspective, but taking it in this context, where he's not looking forward to what's to come, but looking back at it, it just feels different. Different enough that Reznor said it wasn't his song any more, but Johnny's song.
His daughter, after seeing the video, said it felt like he was saying goodbye, and he said that he was.
The best video ever made. It still makes me cry. The contrast between a young vital man, on top of the world, and an old man near the end.
Something that always grabs my heart with this video is Johnny's eyes. Looking inward, looking into the past, looking towards the inevitable end. You see it all in his eyes.
As a big Cash fan, the closing of the piano hits hard. This was him basically saying goodbye.
I consider this one of the most emotional videos to watch on UA-cam. There are a handful that can really break your heart, and this is one. The song alone is so heavy with emotion and resignation, but then the video presents such a powerful visual crescendo, before finally breaking to leave only his voice and a piano to close for good.
Yes. This and Hi Ren and S….ide. Thos’ll get ya.
This is a video that I absolutely cannot watch without breaking down, every time. So powerful.
the video combined with the life circumstances of both Cash and his wife make a perfect storm of emotional gut-punch here.
imo you wanting to cry is you feeling his pain over his life ... this was his farewell to all of us ... i grew up on his music and can truly understand him in this video ....
What does your music mean to me?As a metal and rock fan, I admired the man in black and his songs are quality and honesty earth and fire represented the stormy sky....Johnny Cash was not just a legend, he was a great force in his kind and I'm glad I could listen to his songs.
Your reaction and your interpretation of this song was spectacular, your ability to communicate to the audience (us) allows each of us to self reflect, ty for posting this.
I cannot get through this without crying.. every single time!!! 😢
Your way of analyzing & feeling songs is incredible. I really enjoy & learn from you. Hope your family w/that newborn is great. Bless you! ❤️
AMAZING break down of the life of Johnny Cash ..TRUE LEGEND in the entertainment industry ..TY for this Reaction and Respect to the late Johnny Cash ...you are so smart and educated Rosalie TY
The truth in this song is powerful, devastating and beautiful. I always tear up when I listen to this song. The truth is I can't listen to this song all the time but every few months it brings me back to remind me how fleeting this life is and to remember what's truly important and to remember who I fight to be.
Thank you, Rosalie. Another wonderful reaction. Cash' version of Hurt is a phenomenal picture of grief.
All you accumualte in life means nothing when the ones you love are gone. Hold them close. They're all that matters. His daughter said it sounds like you're saying goodbye. He said, "I am."
This is what we look for. Our reactions are like yours. That's why we love listening to this song over and over. We like when something touches someone's soul and shares it. That's what you gave us. It makes you cry. It makes us cry. That is literally what we look for. Thank you.😊
Yep. I cried. I admit. Rosalie can do that…
When she dropped that little bit about her family separating, and then thinking about her memory of her mom enjoying her dancing. That got me.
Thank you for noticing that and for listening to that detail. By doing so and sharing it here, you in turn made me feel safer to be vulnerable when I share how the song impacts me. Thank you for that. I appreciate your kind comments
Thank you for your kind comments
I remember when this song came out from johnny. I still cry and still feel his pain may june and johnny rest in the embrace of true love. This man was a god among men.
A wonderfulll musician we will never forget him
This is the first time I have watched you and you are spot on I felt you and Johnny cash I have a vintage music store in the uk and you have inspired me the way you done this reaction ❤❤❤
Great reaction. You really dug deep into this song and video that went with it. It’s really nice when someone - like yourself - takes time to understand the work that these artists have created
There's very few people I have more respect than Johnny Cash. He turned his life away from all that was bad. Found the love of his life, found faith in God, loved his country and loved the down trodden everywhere in the world. In a way he became part of the conscience of our country, and became an American Legend. We're all better off for the life he lived and music he left to nurture and guide us. If you have never seen the YT video of Johnny singing Kris Kristofferson's song "Sunday Mornin' Comin" Down" Holy smokes what a song of lyrics and sung as only Johnny could sing it. Simply incredible.
Beneath the stains of time hit me hard. Im 75 and the way i relate to that verse is that all the joy, the happiness those first feelings of love. You can remember those times but the feelings that were euphoric you can not remember or relieve. You know the feelings but nothing you can do can recall how they truely felt at the time. How your brain and body reacted.
Absolutely incredible that it was a cover. I sounds on every level as his own song.
I would be interested to know the age of people who are not reduced to tears hearing this. It gets me every time.
Great reaction!
So many people get that line about him finding a way to keep himself as meaning that he would do everything the same, which is completely wrong. You got it right, he would stay true to his family, to those he loved, to who he was, and not lose his way in the excesses and of fame, ego and addiction. That he would not hurt those around him for loving him etc.
the picture on the wall, was his mom. Johnny was a legend and had so many great songs, he leaves us with his music and what a treasure that is
The closing of the piano is what really got me also in this video
You've done an AMAZING job "analyzing" this video Rosalie !! This last video by Johnny Cash never fails to make my eyes water up 😢.
I remembered going to the theaters with my dad to watch 2003 The Hunted and it had this song at the end of the movie. I memory I’ll cherish forever as my dad was a movie lover passed away two years ago. Thanks for reacting and making this new to me again through your eyes.
I watch a lot of reactions and I must say this is the deepest, most thoughtful one I’ve ever seen. Thanks for such a thought-provoking analysis ❤
Thank you very much!!
I just found your channel. This was my first time viewing one of your videos. You seem to understand and catch things in the lyrics, music, and videos that seem easy to me, but most reaction channels miss. It evidently goes right over their heads. It’s refreshing to have someone that “gets it”. I will subscribe and continue to watch. Thanks!
Thank you :) and welcome!
I'm an old hard rock fan but this right here is a profound, timeless work of art.
I just love the way you react. You have something I can not explain. Bravo, and thank you
Hi Rosalie. I stumbled on this reaction and absolutely did not regret it. Your analysis is right on point, relevant and quite emotional (which is a very good thing!) as "Hurt" by Johnny Cash is one of my favorite.
5 months ago, up here in northern Quebec, the signer of a french band, Les Cowboys Fringants (yup, The Frisky Cowboys!) died due to prostate cancer. Days before he passed away, he recorded 6 songs that would appear on their last album, leaving behind his wife (also member of the band) and his 2 daughters.
I know that French isn't your first language (neither is it for most of your followers), but one song amongst the 6 recorded is litterally a musical testament. It is called "La Fin du Show", the end of the show. You might want to get a translation of the lyrics, since it's sang in Quebec french. The video broke the Million views in 5 days. Although it might not be amazing if you compare that to other famous singers, but for a band of a canadian province of 8 millions, it's a big achievement. On that, have a great day!
Thank you for this bonus reaction - deeply insightful, as yours always are.
Excited to share your suggestion w everyone tomorrow :) will send it to you prior tho
Wow, your review of this song was simply incredible!
Johnny was so big for so many years! The man in black! Being born in 1960 I remember him as only bigger than life!
intelligent and intense reactions.
wow...what a wonderful reaction.... a worthy reaction, thank you.
Wonderful reaction, your thoughts and comments are right on and wonderful. You really got to the heart of the message. It brought tears to my eyes as I could relate to wishing I had done things different and how I would if I could start again.
This performance always brings a tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
The song & video becomes more emotional after you find out his wife June passed away not long after the release of the video, the he passes away only months after her.
Makes you think, did he die of a lonely heart ?
He was prolific with music late in life - from a similar time, I love his version of “Gods gonna cut em down”. More upbeat, almost gospel like, sung in a way only Johnny can.
I've watched a musical of Johnny cashs life and when this song came up I was in tears. The thing if the needle can be seen as a reference using heroine and other drugs for him
Your reactions are so eye opening Rosalie. You come across as a truly beautiful and genuine soul. Thank you❤.
I think the original lyrics were solely about someone's struggle with substance abuse (hence the needle reference). Johnny Cash made them so much more relatable to most people.
He appears as an old man who knows that he is about to die. He cleans out his closet and sums up his life. He has had a long, adventurous life. He went through successes, failures, drug abuse and imprisonment. Got back on his feet and was once again successful, famous and admired. A true legend.
So as it nears the end, he asks: What did I achieve? Will it all be just another pile of dirt?
It's so heartbreakingly existential. Perhaps the most important piece of music he left behind.
Great reaction. Thank you.
Most people say, "RIP" as a verbal tic or as a thoughtless act of social conformity. You made me feel that you really felt it and said it sincerely and sweetly. Gave me a warm smile. Thanks.
Nailed this one. Only reactor to talk about his accomplishments, museum, etc being just a pile of dirt in retrospect. Got a new sub.
Amazing insight, thank you, I feel this song is my life and I feel that so many people do as well.
I. Will never not tear up hearing this.
💯💔A masterpiece layered upon a masterpiece...
A powerful and moving reaction ❣
The woman in the photo is his mother. And June wasn't planned on being in the video. She just was around during the recording session and it was an impromptu idea for her to be included. Also, the House of Cash was a museum own and operated by Johnny Cash and his family. It closed down sometime in 2002 or 2003 and Johnny filmed this video there during the closure. It never reopened after his death.
This song was made specifically for me. This would also be my last hoorah song to play for those at my funeral. Sticking it to them, those that nothing was good enough, no appreciation.
He shows the lavish dinners, the materialistic things, nothing was enough. Then the false accusation (the crown of thorns) which lead to seperation and he is saying it from HIS liars chair as i am sitting on hers as i type.
yes they go away in the end, and i at least hope they finally appreciate at least the pile of dirt i leave behind for them.
Life Sucks
Life is not Fair
But i have no regrets not thinking of myself but about everyone else.
much love from the caribbean.
PS i feel so sad he had to go this way. But i feel all good men end up this way.
This is a song about regret. I thin it means something different to Johnny Cash than it does Trent Reznor, but for Cash, it's about his lifetime of addiction and how it hurt everyone around him.
There is no difference in meaning other than one being in the middle of his life and the struggle with addiction, and the other being at the end of his life beyond his addiction but lives in regret.
Also the only other difference is that musically, Trent's, to me, sounds more disconnected and unresolved as intended, which is why people can't digest it very easily. It's the last track on The Downward Spiral.
Johnny's sounded more "comfortable" and ended with resolve. I do enjoy Johnny's version, but Trent's has a lot more meaning that most people miss.
@@MetalMann-de3xi Johnny moved it so far beyond addiction. It is a man at the end of his life looking back and realizing all that he thought was important in fame and success meant very little. Remembering all that he lost and those who are gone etc.
Trent was too young for all of that.
@@nealm6764 You really have no clue what Trent's version actually means. Both of these songs represents the end of life. One was old age and the other is suicide. It's not JUST addiction. The Downward Spiral is a concept album with the whole story behind it. "Hurt" is the final song of the album.
The piano closing hits hard.
This is about drug addiction and how it destroys everything. ‘The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting, tried to kill it all away but I remember everything’. How it pushes everyone away, and no matter what riches you have it destroys
Thank u for ure insight.
Truly one of my favorite muscisicians of all times.
The perfect coda for a legend who lives on in his vast history and catalog of music.
Still tear up when I listen to this.
He was one of the all time greats in any genre of music. God bless you, sir
I get that all this physical shit we aquire thru life doesnt matter a thing in the end, its more important the relationships we develop thru out life. Thats just me. Its so true, everyone I know goes away in the end.
There are 2 reaction videos to this song that are the best in 2 different ways- Elizabeth on The Charismatic Voice gives her usual detailed look into Cash's late life vocals and you focus brilliantly on the emotional impact that made this recording so perfect. There a re many such videos- I think yours & TCV's cover the full spectrum of it best. Enjoyed this very much! Cheers, Rosalie!
Wow what an honor to read something like this!! Thank you very much. I greatly respect TCV and her work.
@@rosalieelliottofficial Most welcome! I am a patron of TCV-had the honor of meeting Elizabeth & Kirk thru a mutual friend in Tucson last Oct. Very decent people. Yes, I do put you up there w/ TCV as you show the same ideas of positive thinking and open mindedness towards others. 😇
Love cash love his music from Ireland love the show
You feel it deep inside because he felt it😢😢😢😢
Great reaction! ❤
Thank you for giving this man, this song, and his life the time and love it deserves ❤
Love the Selena shirt too btw😊❤
This song means so to me. A recovering addict i have felt nothing. The lack of feelings are so unbearable that you look for any stimulation.
I didn’t want to cry right now, but here we are.
Short break on ambulance! Video did not disappoint! Absolutely fantastic.
Hihi, new to your channel. Just wanted to cover a couple of bits of trivia that will absolutely wreck you all the more if you rewatch it with these things in mind.
1> Trent Reznor originally didn't want Johnny to do the cover. Trent/Nine Inch Nails are an amazing industrial-type band, so what could Johnny possibly bring? Trent wrote this song as a young heroin addict looking back over the few years he'd been alive, and seeing everything for what it was. When he SAW what Johnny did, he said it was the best cover he'd seen, and that Johnny's take (an old man looking back over his life, and the regrets that everyone has) was amazing.
2> His wife June (the older brunette on the stairs) wasn't actually supposed to be in the video. But she showed up and just came down, maybe not realizing they were recording at that moment, and just watched him. It was so poignant that they kept it in.
3> When Johnny finished recording it and getting it all packaged, his daughter looked him squarely in the face, and said, "It sounds like you're saying goodbye." And Johnny just immediately replied, "Well, I am."
Grab your hankies because that last nugget always makes me tear up.
he made that his song like no one else ever did
The House of Cash was a Johnny Cash Museum in Nashville TN. I went there with my dad who was a big Johnny Cash fan. It fell into disrepair late in his career. It was open for many years but eventually closed. I think the lyrics about hurting himself refers to his age at this point. Think how many needles he had to take due to medicine and old age. The song was written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. I think Trent's reference was due to his heroin addiction. Same words, two meanings.
Great analysis!
Man I can't believe this song is 20 years old now. Damn it goes fast
👍🇺🇲❤ RIP.....MR. CASH 🎸....❤ GOD ❤ BLESS U & YOUR LOVED ONES XOXOXOX
He was a good man, nice reaction 👍
He did a lot quietly behind the scenes for the handicap and there families.
The woman in the picture was his mother.
His parents were share croppers and the white house was the home he grew up on. The footage came from a TV special done on him in the 70s.
Still packs a huge emotional punch.
That was his childhood home. It's the place where his brother died.
Excellent reaction young lady.
The more you know about Johnny’s life, the more heartbreaking this video becomes.
This is the best reaction to this song I have seen out of about 20 to 25. You really dig into the meaning. Well done.
Thank you very much!!
I agree
The picture was of his mom. His wife, June, comes into the video later. She died a few months after this video was filmed. He died a few months after her. Absolutely an incredible video. I am 40 years old and some of this really hits home at this stage of my life.
It is actually "Mother" Maybelle Carter, June's mother who was the matriarch of the Carter family musical group. John was very close to her.
Yes, I've been waiting for this and especially the next version one your gonna do.
Yes I can relate to all 3 great versions, even though they all have different meanings but still using the same lyrics. Trent Reznor wrote one of the most relatable pieces of poetry when he made the song.
Johnny crawled into a cave on his land until his light finally went dim, to die. He awoke to the lord telling him that wasnt Johnny's choice so he crawled on his hands and knees for hours until he had seen a light. From then on he was a blessed man.
Darlin’, the emotion is nailed by his performance and his life really makes the lyric hit home. Trent Reznor wrote the song and released it with his band Nine Inch Nails in 1995. It was written during a time when he was suffering from depression. Trent and David Bowie performed it on their tour in the late 1990’s. The song is even more haunting. Trent, who became a film composer has performed the song as a piano piece. Cash was the perfect artist to see the song as the roadmap of his past life.
You should check out the original song live from "nine inch nails" the man who accually went though all this pain as a young man. I think the song works for John as well as an older man. The last line really works for Trent since he was a much younger man at the time and had time "to find a way"
