Sorry for being mistaken about June, Johnny's wife. Thank you to all for educating me on it. For most of the times when I show them a piece of music I introduce them with more than just music itself, so for this I read somewhere on the internet that June died three months before this video and the house burned after a few years which I shared with them as well. I'll try to use multiple sources for things like that from next time and would correct them on the mistaken facts. Thank you
I have known this song for 20 years and didn't fully compreehend until I watched this. You did the same with Zombie, so I am grateful to you for that. Thank you sir..
A man of faith saying people shouldn’t all follow his faith, but rather follow good and kind people like Mr Rogers and Bob Ross. That’s an incredible message.
Follow Ideas Not Men: ★ If a person had done an extra ordinary achievement and helped most of the people , we come to a conclusion that he is good and we can follow whatever he says. ★ This is the Cognitive bias - a systematic error in thinking. ★ We think that a sample taken from a enormous quantity is same as that of others surrounding that sample. ★ This is the problem of sampling. eg : a kind of thought that a sample of rice taken from a rice bag is same as that of the other rice samples present in that same bag. But the truth is that all the rice samples in the bag may not same. ★ When we realize that the person whom we followed had done a bad thing ; we would get struck into the halo effect. ★ Halo effect is the tendency to judge a person based on a previously formed favorable or unfavorable impression. ★ At this point we would come to a cognitive bias that whatever good things he had contributed to the society is meaningless and his achievements are meaningless. ★ The identity of that person makes us blind from observing his good thoughts and ideas. Here that person is not the loser but we are the losers. ★ The solution is Don’t Worship Men if you like their ideas . Think about their Ideas and fit those ideas into your life if those ideas made sense to you.
@@Uriel-Septim. Wow that's a lot of words to say you completely missed the point or context lol. It's about actions and good examples and trying to add those whenever possible... not worshipping someone who did a good deed and mirroring all of their actions.
Perhaps some people don,t understand how hard it is to translate songs and feelings in another langage but this guy conveys it. Well done guy behind the camera you let them feel it
It makes it even more difficult being with people of different cultures than yours and for that I truly respect them for being so open minded and good listeners too.
I wouldn’t have thought of that but I’m sure it’s true. Sitting here watching and listening to these videos, it’s easy to take the camera person for granted.
@@TRYBALS you’ve always done REALLY well giving needed context to them, and it’s one of the things that sets your channel apart from other similar channels.
@TRYBALS I've honestly always been amazed and had a huge amount of respect for the way you've translated, because you're not just translating the words, you always translate the emotion and intellectual aspect of it. Some of these things you show them I myself have not seen, heard of, or known the history of, so one of my favorite things is to learn along with you. Sometimes I think "Hmmm, I don't think that is what it meant", but in those times I'm always fascinated to open my mind to your new perspective and see another angle as well. I don't even know who you are, but I know that you are an Artist and a Philosopher in your soul, from the way you translate.
This is an important channel! I have been a US Soldier and stationed in Europe, Iraq, Kuwait and worked with Bulgarians. I can safely say that people, no matter their location, mostly all want the same thing. They want love, peace and the ability to raise a family. Don't ever let them separate us by our differences because the differences aren't as large as our similarities!
@@veramae4098 the Palestinians & Hamas have known nothing but war.... how did you think they would turn out? Israelis have had their boot on the necks of Palestinians since the inception of the illegal state of Israel.. Way to go Israel, you're no better than Nazis of WWII with their ethnic cleansing. Congratulations the "victim" has become the Abuser.
The fact that pavarti is able to talk about her situation at all, let alone to a public audience, shows how much she trusts you. Please know that just giving her a place to breathe and a person to trust does more than you can ever imagine. I hope that she doesn't get in trouble for saying what she said, and I hope that someday peace comes to her.
I feel so sad to hear her speak of her situation. I know that there are women and men all over the world in similar situations but seeing an individual that's going through it that you feel an almost (virtual) personal connection with makes it that much harder to witness.
The moment that literally made my eyes tear up is as the song ended the one gentlemen spoke out to Johnny and said "but the time has gone by now sir" then saluted him. This reaction video really touched me.
I like how they explained the cover; they prefaced the song by saying this is a cover done by a man who is many years senior of the original singer. This is why I never felt that either version is better or worse than the other- they are told from two different perspectives; a young man in the throws of immediate sorrow, and an old man reflecting on a lifetime of regrets. The song is the same, but it is so different.
She has hinted at experiencing adversity in her life with her addict brother and abusive husband and in-laws. Women often don't have a lot of power or say in their circumstances. She somehow keeps that bright smile. I wish her happiness and peace.
@@nunyabizz9804 both you and GR are such asshole. GR, its not all about the damn money. and Bizz, its not all about the damn fame. This is about a man and his struggle while the other acknowledges the feat of said man did. Be respectful, ffs
@@neo7538 never said anything about money or anything nor was I being a asshole I just said Trent was lucky his voice was heard as most don’t get the chance specially ones with addiction so I guess you can say sorry for assuming cause after all what does that do makes a ass outta you not i
I know cultures and ways of life are different, but still it’s not easy to hear about Parvati’s home life and not feel sad or angry. However, she seems to be a strong-willed and determined woman, and I’m sure she’ll pass that same strength on to her children. I’m glad she’s able to be a part of your channel and share her life with us, as well as being able to speak her mind and perspective.
Its very sad. These women r born poor, married into poverty and they become maids and are the ones bringing the money in becoz of addict husbands who dont work. This happens in the capital too.
"The singer, or the writer?" "Tell me about both." A tribesman grasped what thousands of overly-tribal fans never could, that this song's story is that of both Reznor and Cash.
The thing with the tribespeople like these in the video and even those in the middle of the Amazon they haven’t been corrupted by modern life as much as Cash’s fans. One day that’ll change but for now they still keep the pure wisdom of their ancestors.
I know this was a year ago, but someone else in the comments said it best, forgive me for paraphrasing a little; "Claiming that one version of the song is better is not the answer. Both the original and Cash's cover are the same story, from different perspectives. Trent's version is from the perspective of a young man going through immediate sorrow, and Cash's version is from the perspective of an older man looking back on his life with regret." I think it's really beautiful how they said it.
The lady’s candid description of her life, was the highlight for me. It humbled me. May God ease her sufferings. She really conveyed the spirit of the song.
The lady in the picture was Johnny's mother-in-law, the mother of his wife June. Johnny loved her very much, like his own mother. The beautiful, sorrowful lady on the stairs was his wife June. The sorrow she felt for her husband's pain is evident in her eyes and on her face. She died several months after the video was released. And Johnny died a few months after June. During his life and career, Johnny was addicted to drugs and alcohol, and was estranged from his wife and children. But he did recover from his addictions and reconcile with his wife and family. It takes a great deal of strength to give up drugs and alcohol, a great deal of strength to humbly ask forgiveness from one's wife and children, and it's a strong and loving woman who can forgive.
One thing i wish they included with this song is that when he played it for his daughter she cryed and said it sounds like you are trying to say goodbye. And he simply replied i am.
Dude I’m literally crying right now. This song and it’s connection to people cuts right to the bone. When I heard it all I could think about was my deceased dad and my daughter (hopefully many) years down the road.
I don’t know much about the man, but if what I understand about Johnny Cash is accurate I’d be willing to say that he’s easily one of the greatest men America has produced. A very profound man who held family and faith close to heart.
I was very touched by Parvati's words about her home life. She is a strong woman to endure this, my thoughts will be with her and her children. I hope things improve.
@@j.h.3777 She would have nowhere to go except for her mother's home. Obviously that's not an option because of her brother. Also, I doubt she would be allowed to take her son with her. Her sad situation reminds me how lucky I am to live in a place where women have their own agency.
I was getting teary-eyed watching them grasp the pain in Johnny's face and voice, and then the guy says "this uncle singing??" and I busted out laughing. Love this channel.
I truly enjoy watching all of their reactions, but I'm especially fond of Parvati. It's hard to describe, but there's a wholesomeness to her observations that is so touching. It's sad to think that she is going through what she is at home, and being blamed for the actions that are not her own. It also seemed that this song resonated with her on a deeper level...how we all "Hurt" in our own ways...how interesting it is to consider the similarities and differences in the human condition, no matter the culture or part of the world.
Sobriety?? One out of 6 admitted he was smoking heroin for years. wtactualf. EDIT: 10:30, sorry, two heroin addicts mentioned in 7mins. 2nd EDIT:12:40 3 ADDICTS IN 8-9mins, paragons of sobriety, addiction doesn't care how much you fantasise about a group of people somehow escaping the problems people have and will have since we started walking on 2c legs, also animals suffer from addiction too, so basically since life on Earth began, keep up the casual racism though, it's cute,
Breaks my heart when I hear Parvati talk about her home. She's strong, I wish her and her family all the best. I'm glad she's learning new things from this channel, and I hope her life can continually improve. That goes for the whole crew you have here, they are all so amazing, glad this channel is helping them so much.
I can’t make it through this song without crying…seeing them react to it once he started singing just drives home how powerful this song with HIS voice was. The raw emotion he put into it is undeniable.
I ALWAYS cry to this song. Though Drugs are not my perticular addiction. I know the pain of hurting the ones I love. and this song HITS my sould EVERYTIME
Misty, I was a Johnny Cash tribute singer pre-covid for a handful of years, and every time I watch the Hurt video I almost bawl my eyes out. I don't know why, but I've never not shed a tear watching it. One of the most emotional music videos of all time.
As a recovering opiate/heroin addict who lost the love of her life and who has endured enough tragedy and pain for 10 peoples lifetimes this song makes me weep like a baby every single solitary time. It doesn't matter if it's Trent...Johnny or Sevendust (my fav).
The military started me on my addiction to opioids and psychotropics because of chronic pain from injuries and ptsd. After 8 yrs I got off them using cannabis. In 10 yrs I lost my parents, sibling and 8 other family members, I was still an addict when I lost my mom and even though i was there I really wasn't there. In those 10 yrs I also lost over a dozen military brothers and sisters to suicide or overdose. I still have "my" bullet sitting on a shelf, I carved my initials in it and daily look at it as a reminder of where I was. I'm glad you got off that poison. Keep them in your heart and live for their memory.
@@fmfdocbotl4358 when you say “where I was” I hope you mean it (“was”), I hope you’re no longer feeling hopeless. Please reach out if you need someone to talk to. You’re worth fighting for.
@@sondra4789 it's something I live with. During the pandemic I been staying home and the whole thing justified why I hate people, because they just think about themselves and not others.
One of the greatest covers ever done. Trent said when he first heard it, he kind of dismissed it as just a cover (he was in the middle of touring and working), and it wasn’t until he took the time to really listen to it that it’s revelatory power struck him and he realized what a complete work of genius it was. Now he absolutely loves it.
For me the reason this cover by Johnny Cash is so emotional and relevant is that those who know Johnny's life story he suffered greatly from drugs, alcohol and family issues. The song has a deep connection to his actual life. Amazing cover and It is wonderful to see people of other cultures having an open mind and experiencing things from other cultures as we should also!
Johnny is one of the few artists that actually feels like everyone's dad, uncle, etc. It's almost like he has a one-on-one connection with every fan of his.
"Surgeons of behavior." That is such a powerful line, truly. Very well said and so, so true. You go to a surgeon to get help in fixing something that is broken, and if your behavior and thoughts and feelings are what's broken, who better to turn to than such positive, wholesome and healthy models of what it means to be a good person like Mister Rogers or Bob Ross, etc. They can teach you things that you might be too afraid to ask or talk to your own parents about and that is such an important fact.
I cry like a baby... every time. Even telling others to watch it, thinking about it... I am sorry the director didn't point out his wife, June, who wasn't intended to be in the video, and died soon after filming... that look of love and understanding...
In an interview with Roseanne Cash who cried when she heard this album and this song. She said to her dad, " It sounds like you're saying goodbye." Johnny replied, "I am"
"Follow such people who are full of love, ethics and values." A man who answered at the beginning regretting not having an education. Sir, thank you. YOU are more educated than WE ever will be. Much Love to you Sir and my respect.
I met Johnny Cash and his wife June when I was a teenager, after a concert they did in Colorado. They were both wonderful, down to Earth people. My father listened to his music all the time when I was growing up, so I have great affection for his music today as a grown woman, especially this song. You are so very missed Mr. Cash. God rest your soul.
I met him and June about a year before June died. I agree that they were both very friendly, down to earth people. I've met and worked for a lot of celebs over the years, and they were probably the highlight of my life. I'm in no way a country music fan, but Johnny is a legend, and deserves a great deal of respect for that but, more importantly, the kind and gentle man that he was, even after 50 years of fame.
@@SundaysChild1966 yes I truly am. I have fond memories of meeting him and his wife. I have the photos somewhere. The man is a legend, yet was so humble, kind, caring and giving of his time.
Nothing hurt my heart so unexpectedly like hearing Parvati speaking one of her truths by connecting her experience to the lyrics of this song. I was not prepared to digest someone else's pain aside from the focus being on Johnny Cash. Wow, powerful. I want to feel sad for her or her situation but it doesn't feel like the correct emotion. I'm feeling proud of this channel and of Parvati. Yo go girl! Thank you to this channel in particular for finding a way for my heart to connect with hers. I've been a fan for a while, always love the personalities, and the wisdom and thinking from the guests reacting. I feel a fondness for them all and unconsciously had my favorites....but damn. Parvati stole this show in an instant for me.
Individual truth is a lie. She was relating her experience in life and how it made her feel. I'll never understand why that wasn't good enough for people, so much so they had to change personal experience to personal truth.
@@lualady936 He’s expressing his distaste for the use of “personal truth” when “personal experience” could be used instead. Given that there is no such thing as personal truth, I understand where he’s coming from.
@@GraysonMckernan I'm not understanding from either response how or why a personal truth is not acceptable to use as I did. Saying someone has shared a personal experience or personal truth in my mind is one in the same and I honestly used personal truth as it felt more powerful than experience. Experience as a word imo has lost a lot meaning and has become watered down and dismissive in a way. "Well in my experience...." or "applicants must have 5+ years of industry experience.." My brain naturally prepares to disregard it and in a way subconsciously I wanted to convey that I accepted what it was she shared as I think there is tendency to take everything someone has to say about abuse with a grain of salt or just flat out no believe. like maybe it's not legally defined as abuse in one country and is in another. I don't know her circumstances nor would I want to try to pick it apart as to why our why not it was abuse. Both replies are from people telling me personal truth is not correct. If I believe Jesus is the only saviour, that's my personal truth. It's not the truth or the only truth because there's many religions. If I say my personal truth is living with an abusive spouse despite in-laws taking the spouses side, I'd argue both experience and personal truth would be acceptable to use. I by no means am trying to say personal truth is an objective truth. I just want to understand the thinking, clearly there's more than one person who feels this way and I cant comprehend why there is no such thing as a personal truth? Haha sorry I'm not satisfied with it doesn't exist.
@@lualady936 Truth implies something that can be proven and is universally accepted. Someone’s personal experiences and outlook on life is unique to that person and is not something that can necessarily be proven or disproven. Therefore there can be no such thing as “personal truth”. The statement contradicts itself.
The song was originally about the downward spiral of a young mans with drugs. Johnny Cash made his version to give the feeling of a man at his lifes end. The needle for illness and pain, the loss of things he loved, his regrets.
The two-shaven men, despite not understanding the language, can very clearly feel the song's message on a profound level, and they display a massive amount of empathy. Where words fail music speaks.
Their words chocked me up; however, the salute broke the damn. It is proof that music truly can bridge the gaps and bring people together. Thank you, for what you are doing. Blessed Be!
Im really sad to hear that about Parv. It was actually quite heartbreaking to hear that at the end of the video. Please let her know that a lot of us here in the west a million miles over think she seems like a wonderful wife and mother
@@melmueller-spude8467 She has also expressed in multiple videos how she wants to see a zoo, and an airport. She longs exploration and freedom... I felt really sad about this whole thing.
It would be fun to show them Johnny and June singing "Jackson" together in their prime, as a contrast. Something tells me they would get a kick out of the lyrics, too - it's a universal story, LOL.
Dude, I work for EXTREMELY WEALTHY people. THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING "THEY WASTED THEIR HEALTH ATTAINING WEALTH, THEN WASTED ALL THE WEALTH TRYING TO PROLONG THEIR HEALTH"
this version of Johnny Cash is so deep, so breathtaking, goosbumps bringing... I believe him every word... It brings me to tears every time I hear this version..
@@uncomfortablynumb9800 we all know, that the original is from Nine Inch Nails. But the cover (-version) of Johnny Cash is for me (just my personal opinion) much more intense than the original.
Wow. This one hit hard. That "My Husband is abusive" comment is a cry for help. Please TRYBALS, please take care of this beautiful woman (Parvati) and her children if it's within your power. Protect them. No matter the culture, equality is vital. No women or man should have to live in fear of the ones they love day after day. That's not love. That's hell.
I know Mark, but I am not allowed to interfere. If I do, she'd not even be able to come here at all. Things are really complicated for women of her tribe. It's not just Parvati but every women within Bheels in Sindh. I know it's sad but it's true for most of the time 😕
@@TRYBALS I understand. Thank you for all you do for these beautiful people. I'm certain it's more than most are capable of. If we can change one mind to treat others better through example, we can change others. One day at a time.
It is a very delicate situation, it's not as simple of just taking her away from this situation. Their culture centres heavily around their beliefs. Divorcing is heavily frowned upon and those who do are shunned.
@@Cautious_Gamer I think what this channel is doing for her (giving her money and showing her things that she would never see before) is helping her more than what the channel owner could do by interfering. Just my 2 cents.
@@ivanho34 THIS! This channel is giving her a source of income, a place to express herself honestly, and the information to understand the injustice she faces. That is all she needs. That is all our feminist ancestors needed to start changing our culture. And there is a good reason Parvati’s in-laws are worried about her coming to make these videos. They know she is capable of acting on the ideas she is exposed to here. They know she could be a leader in making changes. She reminds me a lot of my own rabble-rousing feminist ancestors, and she isn’t facing anything they didn’t.
There's something about seeing a person show so much love and respect to a person they have never met that always brings a tear to my eye. That feeling that we are all family.
I love this song. I loved Nine Inch Nails version but Johnny Cash's version just brought out emotions that is hard to escape from. Trent Reznor said, after listening to Johnny's version, that it was no longer his song; it belonged to Johnny Cash now. Just a little correction, the woman in the photo was Johnny's mother. Johnny's wife was the one standing on the staircase. Her name is June Carter Cash who was also a wonderful singer and sang with Johnny as well. June died shortly after the release of this version. Johnny died about 4 months after her. It's said that even though he had health complications, he just couldn't live without her.
Trent said that after watching the video, when he first listened to the song he wasn't impressed. Nor should he have been, Rubin butchered his arrangement.
npyh vers are abpit different age/stage in life. origanal is about escaping drug addiction and depression as a young man and cashes version is about a old man coming to terms with his life ending
"But the time has gone by now sir". That simple, beautiful statement brought tears to my eyes. As someone with PTSD and for those out there who suffer as well, it is so easy for us to live in the past. But what this man summed up in eight words is EXACTLY what we need to remember. The bad times have passed, and so long as our mind is occupied with the past we lose our ability to focus on the good times yet to come. This song is being sung by a man who is haunted by his past, consumed with it, and ultimately robbed by it. It robs us the HERE and the NOW, and our ability to actively engage in meaningful relationships. We cannot start again a million miles away, but we can start again with the next step. I hope this writing helps someone who is currently suffering from PTSD or any traumatic life experiences present or past. "When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind" - Chester Bennington
You said clearly what I've been trying to say for over 30+ years. I'm 55 (2022), suffer from PTSD (multiple reasons why). I've been stuck over half my life in past trauma. I've only recently began to find a way out. I'm telling people to look forward, not back. Steve Harvey told an anecdote that helps me a lot.... _"Think of life from the view you have in your car. Look how big the windshield is. So you can see everything in front of you._ _Now look in your rear view mirror. Look how small it is compared to the windshield._ _That's because what's ahead of you is more important than what's behind you._ _Don't focus on the past, or you're miss what's up ahead!"_ These words left me speechless. I watched them several times a day, for weeks, until I had them memorized. I still find myself looking back sometimes, but when I do, I remind myself to look ahead!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write. Yes it's really helpful. I'm making progress but I'm seeking professional counselling to get me out of this PTSD trap of social anxiety and the worry that it could happen again, and the insomnia and comfort eating. I'm doing my own healing, getting involved in nature, Earthing, trekking, gardening, praying, meditating, self care treatments, going out with friends. Support of friends and family is so crucial. Even though I've became a bit of an introvert, I need that contact. God bless us all, and give us the strength to get through and thrive v soon 🙏🏽
I keep that sentiment in my head often, with the phrase This too shall pass It helping me right now through some difficult times in my life, and has helped me before Although I sometimes amend it when things are really rough This too shall pass, it might pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass
Dear Jimmy, thank for your precious words. They help me a lot in my present situation. I bless your soul, life, family and you being here. Theodor from Germany
This is my 4th video I've watched, and just subscribed to the channel. Watching these videos has struck me in a profound way. I'm a 60 year old farmer in North Texas, and I tell everyone I know about this channel, even if they won't watch it. Much like the Tribal people here, in rural Texas, you can be isolated from the rest of the world in many ways, but most importantly in a cultural sense. I've that individual humans throughout the world where much like me, our feelings about war, hate, love, joy, are much the same, but we don't get that from news stories, movies, etc. What we get is what our leaders and the media want us to see, to portray other countries people in either a negative light, or a positive one, depending on the political relationships between us. After watching several of the videos, I feel a kinship with these people, because I see them for who they are, what they find confusing, funny or beautiful, and I see in them people around me that would be saying the same things, just in a different language. Years ago, when the Internet first came into being, I had high hopes that it would break down these artificial walls separating us from the rest of humanity, but in the years since, I've grown to think it just made things worse, that we still couldn't communicate with others, we just see what our "leaders" want us to see, and I despaired of it. This is what the internet was meant to be, in its purest form. I thank you for creating this content, keep up the good work, and I hope there is a way that these people can know the affect getting to know them, their true selves, has on others. Again, thank you!
I would like to thank you for your comment. I feel and know the same about all things you said. In my life, I am 51 now, born and living in Germany, I met people from every corner of the world, abroad or in my own country and this together with understanding of the terrible parts of history of Germany made me learn the following conclusion: We, all human, every single being are worth exactly the same, no matter if you are an indian in the rain forrest or the CEO of multi-billion company. We need and want all the same basic things and invisible all people are connected. It‘s so sad to see how governments and the worldwide propaganda tells us the same daily and they do a very sad job because the majority believes everything they say. So people stay separated over religions, borders, different political systems, but that comes all only from above. The average joe in china, russia the US or Syria only wants shelter and feed his family and to watch his children grow. I would say there is literally no normal individual, nowadays that would prefer to throw bombs. It’s too sad, I apologize and I wish you health and a good life.
I will remember the phrase “surgeons of behavior.” What an insightful expression! The people you surround yourself with are your surgeons, as well as those you respect highly. Thank you for this thought. 🙏
It has another meaning as well, When it comes down to it, there is no one else you trust more then your Surgeon. Because they are literally holding your life in their hands. And translating such an analogy gives a nice topic. Like, when it comes to such good hearted people, you're opening yourself, giving your trust, for someone who can shape your behavior in an amazing way.
"Follow such people who are full of love, ethics and values, consider them as your surgeons, Surgeons of behavior" This spoke to me in a way not many words do, Thankyou.
Johnny Cash's rendition is so hauntingly beautiful it just moves me to tears. Its a song that you don't need to understand the lyrics to feel. Considering this song released in 2002 a year before he died, it is one of the greatest goodbye songs ever written.
Every time I listen to a reaction I hear a different perspective on I’m the meaning of the lyrics. Some talk about his loathing for his wife, some his addiction to drugs, others his fleeting fame. He truly did do the song justice and I’d say a perfect song to sum up his life
Honestly. Every time he goes “What” in “What have I become?”, I got insane chills. I was almost violently shaking from it the first time I heard it, then “…have I become” came in, and that’s when the frisson turned into an overwhelming welling in myself it just had to escape out of my eyes. I play lots of guitar, this song is the one that will make me bawl my eyes out all over my strings. Every time. Sung or Unsung
Thank you for this sir. It's very interesting to see other cultures react to the music that I love personally. Every time I hear this song I cry. It's so relatable and it moves you and you can see it. It moved them as well. Which is exactly what Johnny Cash was trying to do. Rest in peace Mr. Cash.❤
@Nathan Hynes Literally anyone can understand the desire to be a child again. Not deep at all. Was this a serious comment? it’s a hilariously stupid thing to say.
@@nathanhynes5321 You don’t have to have had a wonderful childhood to wish to be young again. It’s really not that deep like the comment you’re responding to says. Reminiscing and yearning for youth again is a concept at old as consciousness. What’s actually meaningful is that the song lyrics state that even if the singer got the chance to go back, they’d end up the same person somehow. THAT’S deep.
You could never understand or apprehend how wonderful it is for me sitting here in the west watching people half a world away reacting to song that are so emotionally engrained in our lives, thank you so much and please get them to react to more music that they would normally never be exposed to. I appreciate they don't understand the lyric and you have to explain to them what is being said but it is still wonderful to watch. If i could give this video a thousand thumbs up i would, sadly i am only able to give it one.
Amazing! The "Needle" was also a reference to the imprisonment he felt by needing almost constant insulin injections. He had such advanced diabetes that he was almost blind and crippled from it. It ultimately killed him from complications of it. Love hearing these people's opinions. Excellent!!
This was amazing. Mohammad brought tears to my eyes with his wise words about Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross. I also loved the older man's thoughts about gratitude ~ appreciating what we have rather than focusing on what we don't have. It's amazing how this song allowed the shy woman to open up about her situation ~ I hope she can get some help and support. 🙏 And I loved the screen where we can see all the reactions at once.
@@BmanNL1 Indeed. But as Johnny sings in another video, she won't back down. The fact that she actually appears on these reaction videos despite the opposition she faces from some around her is a sign of strength. I wish I could help her, but I admire her immensely. She knows who she is. Having seen her with her children it's obvious she is a great mother.
@@blindknitter Right? I wish MY mother had been even half as good as Parvati is to and for her children. I sit much straighter, shoulders back, chin out, and smiling because of Parvati's strength she has shown here. It's a terrible thing to find yourself having to walk such a fine line as she is. I do not envy her this. But I am proud of her. So proud, I think my heart just might burst. She is a warrior and a queen, and I am so grateful for her strength and love for all of us. Parvati is an example we would all do well to emulate. God love her and bless her. 💚
I imagine that she likes doing these videos as this may be the only place where she can open up and speak more freely. I hope her husband or anyone else from where she lives become aware of anything she says as that may place her in danger, or she may not be allowed to keep doing the videos. She is, along with the others, having her eyes opened up, this is an education for all of them.
It's interesting that Mohammad spoke of wanting an education. From his last statement, it is very clear that he is already a kind and intelligent individual. His final thoughts were very profound! Truly, words to live by.
"Wow, bro, wow", wasn't expecting to start crying watching this. This video here is the First time I heard the song (sang or covered by any artist, was totally new to me) so that in and of itself was obviously emotional, but hearing the stories and thoughts shared. My heart aches for Parvarti I really hope that she continues to do this channel because she adds a great deal and is much loved by us viewers. I feel sad though, as she has mentioned a couple of times now how her neighbours and in-laws badmouth her and it seems she has little autonomy at home - her father in law changes or turns down quiet her music, her neighbours (and in-laws) make "backbiting" comments, her own husband and father of their children, her babies, puts his own wants first, I was shocked at hearing that he prevents his small child from eating the breakfast his mother lovingly prepares for him to instead get him cigarettes and even light them for him! That his family defend and condone such behaviours. She can state so matter of factly that her husband is abusive, and she doesn't have to hand any of the support systems like exist in my country, to help her. And on top of all that, and being a mother, and her work, she has the worry and stress of her brother having an addiction and stealing from their mother. She has expressed in previous videos that she feels a lot of stress, and clearly she feels some guilt that has been put upon her, it is not a burden of her making, but then she feels the weight and is then regretful if she is short tempered with her children. Just imagine how you would feel if instead of hearing Parvati telling this, imagine it is your sister, or best friend, or daughter etc, how you would feel, what you would say and do right away, to try and start to help... I feel like that, but I have no way of helping, no idea what to say or do if there even is anything.
I remember hearing this song when it first came out and that it had a profound effect on me. Hearing it here now, I was basically sobbing. There’s just something about the vibe and the emotions conveyed in this song. The message touches the soul.
Yeah, this was a VERY powerful video, wich it makes sense, both versions of the song are as well, but Mister Cash's version is soul penetratingly powerful.
@@salahad-din4114 that last part would have to be left to taste. As much as I liked Johnny's version, no one can present the full emotion like the person who wrote it. I believe Johnny only sold more due to his higher fame.
@@salahad-din4114not an attack in any way, but a big part of that is environmental. Have they heard any NIN before or since, or been around anyone who liked NIN. Johnny's version was more "relatable" due to the type of music. There are many that will hate the real version, simply due to the style of his music. Unfortunately this world puts WAY too much emphasis on how someone looks. Not the thoughts they can add to the world.
You're honestly doing more important work here than anyone may fully grasp but this is far beyond entertainment this is extremely educational everyone can learn a lot from each other. I'd also like to acknowledge that it takes a tremendous amount of work to communicate these works of art accurately and you're doing a fantastic job. Translating all of it from one language to another and explaining it so well plus translating it through cultures from American culture through your culture into their culture in a way everyone can understand and relate on the human level. That is not something just anyone could do so great work to those behind the camera and I'm grateful for the tribal people for agreeing to this and sharing their thoughts. I'm American and born in the same state Johnny Cash was (Arkansas) and this is beyond amazing to see. I still prefer nine inch nails original version but both are absolutely beautiful just from two opposite perspectives I'll probably appreciate Cash's version when I get around his age. I'm 26 right now.
You nailed it on the head bud, and yes as you get older you will see the bigger meanings in stuff like this.. younger, I thought is was odd my mom would cry during movies or my father would get emotional during family gatherings and such until I hit my 30s it’s that their is so much sadness and hate in the world the little acts of compassion or bravery with no gain but to help hits you right to the core.
You will! I just turned 70 years young. I was in my early 20s and every time the jukebox played “ Those We’re The Days My Friend” by Mary Hopkins I knew it was speaking to me now and the future looking back on now. That was 50 years ago and it is true. I’ve come full circle! As will you. Words can have two meanings. Fortunately words like these can ground us. We remember where we were, where we’ve been, where we wish to go, and in the end, where we stand.
I agree 100%. It was so interesting to see their reactions, and how they interpreted the song. Such a brilliant idea to see their reaction and share it with the world.
I'm 55, and I like Cash's version. You'll understand why in your 40s. You realize there are fewer days ahead than there are behind you. You regret the days you wasted, and moreso the time you wasted on Toxic people. There are MANY things you wish you could do over, but life doesn't work that way. You learn from your mistakes, and keep going as best you can. You also learn all the stuff you worked so hard to get really doesn't mean anything. ("Empire of dirt") All the people you loved have died, moved away & you can't find them, or they were wolves in the fold; they used you, tossed you aside. They never loved you, even though you were devoted to them. Hard lessons, all. Still, you wake up everyday, and get going. If you're lucky, you find someone of good character to go through life with. Not everyone is so fortunate. Some of us lost that person years ago. In my case, a drunk driver killed her, and left me with injuries I still suffer from. Had we left the theater a minute sooner, or a minute later, everything would be different today. But it is what it is. It took a long time for me to come to terms with that. I hope NO ONE ever goes through that. You will have regrets, what ifs, and maybes. Try not to dwell too long on them. Don't ask why people left you, the why doesn't matter. Let them go. The same is true of pretty much everything that happens to us. Don't dwell on it. Don't beat yourself up. Learn from it, and keep going forward. Let go of the past. It's done. You cannot change it, so don't hold on to it. Look ahead. Always. Best Wishes to all.
This is one of the most genuine, unique channels. Rather than just “reactions” we get to hear the thoughts and insights of people who seem more attuned to the nature of man, the ebb and flow of religion and the wisdom to understand what or who can bring happiness to others and themselves. I myself do not understand the traditions that Pravati and her children live within. I admire her strength to live beyond barriers and instill kindness and love in her children, that is not easy, but she puts her children first. Thank you all for sharing parts of yourselves and your lives with us that watch your channel. 💜
I love how respectful and also curious these individuals are. To want to understand fully the ideas and feelings being portrayed and to actively listen. I love music in the fact it can transcend barriers and languages. We may not know what is being said, but we can feel the emotions conveyed. The power of music is something that has been around for ages and it still ceases to amaze me it’s evocative nature.
I remember listening to the original version by nine inch nails for years. How unpopular it was in mainstream. Johnny Cash really captured this song beautifully, and made me cry a bit. But the effect was that everyone was able to enjoy this song, and not be locked down because of musical taste.
It's funny because the NIN, and Cash version both have completely different meanings, at least for me. NIN is singing about a young heroin addict who's driven away everyone, and addiction has stolen everything from him, leaving him broken, and destitute. Johnny Cash's version is about an old man at the end of his life, looking back with many regrets, and lamenting that of all the money, everything he does have is now useless, and would trade it just to have his loved ones back, and maybe even making different choices to not end up like that again.
Truly in the greatest depths of my soul, I cannot determine which version of this song I love the most. They both hit so brutally. Trent Reznor’s version has always spoken to where I am currently, in whatever despair I feel. It emphasizes the pain and is so raw that makes me feel alive-like hurting oneself might. It changed apathy into anguish, and i want that sometimes. Cash’s version makes me feel so full of sorrow for him and for how long he suffered, but the building tension and more epic quality actually gives me a glimmer of hope: that maybe I can learn, and not live my whole lifetime paralyzed by depression. It makes me realize how incredible NOT worth it it is to go down the familiar spiral. What is comfortable in the short term while waste your years on earth. I believe Cash covered this song specifically to tell us, from the perspective of an older man, exactly that. I am so grateful to both artists for the honesty with which they did this song.
I can't ever make it through this song without crying my eyes out. He reminded me of my dad who was also a musician who also passed away shortly after my mom did. 2 weeks... So I get it. He has real pain when he sang this and I feel an unbearable ache in my heart for him and myself. Rest now...
This song always makes me cry. The Nine Inch Nails version is amazing, but this hits your soul and conveys the utter pain and suffering in the words being sung. I don't think anyone besides Johnny Cash will ever be able to do a better cover of this. I feel for Parvati. I hope someday she can leave her husband and inlaws, but I know it is nearly impossible in her culture to do so. All of them had a great understanding of the pain in this song and how it was a message to be better as a human being. At least, that's what I got from this. Love to them and to my fellow humans here.
@@milliken86gaming32 I get that...but in reality, Johnny Cash didn't write the lyrics nor did he compose the music. That doesn't change because he preferred Cash's rendition over his own.
I was an addict in the early 2000's and I just remember playing this version and also Trent Reznors on repeat because addiction is so so lonely and the song spoke to me directly to say "Hey, you're not alone. What you are feeling is valid, and you are not alone in this." That sentiment is what really carried me through the darkest times in my life.
When I was deep in my addiction this was one of my go to songs as well. It said the same thing to me as it did to you. And after being sober for almost 5 years this song still touches my heart deeply.
@@nocturnal101ravenous6 Ain't that the truth. Some are addicted to drugs, alcohol, and obviouslly damaging stuff. Others are addicted to lying, of hurting people, themselves or otherwise. "Everyone is drunk on something"
Why are you doing this to me? Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be? Why am I seething with this animosity? (Hey god) I think you owe me a great big apology
Every time I hear Johnny Cashes cover Hurt, I tear up and feel a big wave of pain. I can hear the pain in his voice as he relays the message. Rest in peace Johnny Cash 😢😢❤❤.
It blows my mind how much these folks talk about depression and how understanding they seem about it all. Theres so many in first world countries that just act like you need to suck it up and get over it, and these people that so many here would consider "uncultured" or "backwards" accept it as a real and powerful thing. Really eye opening, always love your content!
They would still tell you that you needed to get over it and get on with yourself. It's not like people can't recognize depression around the world and throughout time. But the fact of the matter is your only options are to get over it or die or fade away.
“WE”learn through experience just as they’re explaining, but their understanding of the difference between knowledge and beLIEf is astounding! Beyond the labels, and exceeding the west’s understanding of consciousness and the acceptance of what is.
Abdul is so full of wisdom! He has such a kind, gentle spirit. I feel like I could sit and listen to him for hours, and he would give me all the wisdom I need in life.
This video really made me cry. I am still struggling with addiction and I am glad you guys really have some inspiring words to tell. I also feel very sad for the woman dealing with her brother and her husband...you deserve so much better my dear
I’m in recovery now and have been clean since Oct 2020. I got ejected in a rollover crash on the highway, after a long recovery was put on pain management til they cut everyone off with only a months supply. Never thought I would turn to heroin. Then I did. Same with fentanyl. Starting in February 2015 I lost my brother (first OD from fentanyl), then everyone started dropping like flies. My cousin, my uncle, my best friend, ex bfs, and countless others. I just didn’t want to be conscious and tried anything to numb it all. I wasn’t trying to OD but always thought maybe I won’t wake up. I will just feel bliss then fade into nothingness. ODing on street corners, abandos , etc and after being narcaned my first thought was anger about why they brought me back. It was a hard road that ended as it always does.. jail, institutions, and death. I got on suboxone and it helps a lot. I hope you know you’re not alone, and that you are stronger than you think.
This was one of the best I've seen. I feel sorry for Trent Reznor. He wrote such a profound song and performed it so well. But Johnny Cash breathed life into it with his stoic realism. He lived it for so long. I cried hearing him perform it.
Why feel sorry for him? So profound was Trent's insight into the human condition that another artist from another time was able to not only understand it but breathe such deep, new life into it. I would consider this the ultimate compliment.
@@michaelhorne8366 exactly. Id feel super Happy for Trent. Cash didnt steal the spotlight from him. If one truly understands how impactful music can be then they will understand that while the song is the same the points of view are so different that the song means completely seperate things. Trent was a young man, he was growing in popularity faster than he could cope with it and that put a lot of pressure on him to be great and he wasnt ready for all that. He wrote a song about the insecurities he felt and the self loathing he did. Cash was an old timer, he was nearing the end of his days and he knew it. So he performed the song and sang a whole new story about a man at the end of the line who had a lot of regrets and a lot of pain of his own. He and Trent had pain, its a universal thing we all feel. But what causes it and what we do with it is so different for everyone. This song proves that point better than anything
I certainly wouldn't feel sorry for Trent. As a NIN fan it was considered pretty epic to say the least. The pain and regret of a young man looking forward and the fear he may not be able to change things. Jonny was the reverse, his take on looking back at things he could never change added a different level. Both versions are majestic, but Cash had that little extra Hurt!
Johnny Cash was a truly exceptional human being. He spoke for the underprivileged and disenfranchised every where. He was an honest singer and songwriter. There were no ‘performances’ just being in whatever state he was in a raw yet sensitive form. All were welcome to listen to his music and all can relate if they are brave enough to listen with their heart. If you do, there is a wealth of wisdom and wit in all of his songs.
This song was a part of my childhood. My father listened to that album on loop after my grandfather died, so it is a very strong memory in my life. My family had generational alcohol issues on my fathers side, but I was lucky my life was overall good. But to see people of other nations and walks of life hear it, listen to it, and take it in like a first time... it was everything to see and listen to their takes on Mr. Cash's version of Hurt.
This is an amazing song. I loved it when Reznor put it out, but Cash found a way to elevate it to a different level. I enjoy watching this channel. Though the folks featured in it come from very different backgrounds than I, they often voice things that resonate with me. In general, we humans are more similar than we are different.
I agree with David Murine that it’s simply a different perspective. I don’t agree that Johnny Cash ‘elevated’ the song. I have a deeper respect for Trent Reznor for having the talent and such raw candor in writing this piece to begin with. I really wish they would have shared both versions. I feel the tribal people would have benefited from seeing the original version from the writer’s eyes, as well.
The part that always gets me is when he closes the piano at the end. He was really expressing the kind of feelings and regrets one might have when you know your time on earth is coming to an end. It took me years to watch the video and not cry. It's just so touching to watch. Thank you for this.
This was WONDERFUL. I loved hearing them open up about themselves and thier lives like this! I would love to hear more from them about their dreams, lives, struggles, beliefs and joys. The people are the truly interesting part of these videos - their reactions are secondary.
Another excellent video. I requested that you play this song for them and I am more impressed than ever in their reactions. This is a song that moves me to tears almost every time I listen to it. I had hoped that they could find the emotion in it & with your help in translating, I was not disappointed. I am sad to hear of Parvati’s abuse, but have immense respect for her sharing it with us & hope that her strength continues to serve her well.
Amazing! This made me feel so connected with these people being interviewed because they understood everything Johnny Cash was saying in this song even though it’s a cover, he had his own demons he fought his whole life. And in the end he knew he threw away so much time to his addiction. Anyone who watches that video with honesty, can see just how much he regret he carried with his choices in life and now he’d be wishing for more time but unfortunately wasn’t given much more time. I’ve heard the song countless times and this time honestly made me😢. I saw it as more than just a song and understood what he was trying to say with the scenes in the video. It also truly helped me understand when these 5 individuals gave their own commentary as this was their first time hearing this song or watching this video. They didn’t even need to know the life of Johnny Cash to know exactly who he was and the demons he carried with him. They all understood exactly what he was saying in his video. So moving, so beautiful!
Ah! I love this song. Excellent choice, Adnan! Really loved their words of wisdom. My heart goes out to Parvati and the kids. May the men in her life find the strength to improve themselves for the sake of their family and their future. Sending much love
I had to watch this a few times because of how truly and deeply I was moved by this video. I don't usually comment very often but something about this video, this song, these beautiful people, and their stories really hit a part of my heart here. I commented about how truly wonderful Parvati is and how beautiful her soul is before I was even 2 minutes into the video before she had shared a part of her story and I had a feeling but didn't truly know just how truly strong she is. There's not words capable of capturing the strength, beauty, and love she is. I too have been in a relationship involving addiction, verbal, and physical abuse and know how hard it is some days to even make it through the day sometimes. To see her here every time to be with us and support her children despite all the stigma and struggles she faces to do so, and to watch her raise her children right teaching them to follow a life that brings education, love and happiness and not one that brings harm and sadness to themselves and others is truly a testament to how strong and beautiful she is. And such a wonderful mother. I know you make absolutely sure that everyone is here because they want to be, and I know every single bit of money after production goes straight to them but I hope more than anything that doing these videos brings her and everyone some happiness and joy, even if its just a few hours. And if course to YOU my dearest friend, you also shine with beautiful, kind, generous, intelligent, and caring light. You are just as special as they are and I hope this brings you joy as well. The world is a brighter place with you in it and I am honored to call you my friend too. Adding another comment to drive engagement instead of editing my last one.
"I sometimes wish i could remain a child forever." This is my favorite answer. I always think back to my childhood and think about how i was so ignorant to everything and just that innocence i wish i could have back.
You did an amazing job translating this song. Johnny himself conveyed his emotions so well. That makes the song that much more powerful. I loved they loved his accent. I found that interesting they had an easier time picking it up than some other before. Everyone had very good insights. This song has quite a universal message.
A relative that grew up about an hour and a half east of where Johnny Cash did, taught English as a second language. He also mentioned how they liked his accent.
I’m not kidding when I say this, watching you folks review this song, as well as your reviews of Metallica and System of a Down, absolutely blew me away. This review specifically made me cry. Listening to Johnny pour his heart out upon the floor, and listening to your thoughtful understanding of the artists intent was amazing. I’ve been following your channel for months now, mostly your experiences with food. Please do more of these music reviews and reactions! I love seeing music be an international unifying force. It speaks from the soul and connects us all as human beings. Thank you so much, and please continue your work!!
Chacha is so wonderful. I wish I could just hang out in his presence for a while. All of these people are so perceptive about the emotion behind the music. They understand the human experience and speak without hesitation.
Damn, I weep like a child every time I hear this version. It was my favorite NIN song, as well. But just so much more impactful to hear Johnny perform it. I struggled with heroin addiction, as well, so I feel every lyric of this song. Feeling like a literal toxin to every person in your life that you care about…it’s a lot to take in, thinking about that time in my life. But this is what I love so much about music and the reason I have been performing on one stage or another for over 25 years. And this is the reason Johnny was the Master that he was. It’s so cool to be able to witness other cultures enjoying this music…makes me wonder what Johnny would’ve thought about it.
I love their calmness Being in mid twenties I see a lot of people always in a rush Nobody sits still, speak calm and think more anymore Everybody is agitated all the time
Exactly right, and many people no longer take the time to absorb things any more. They get their quick fix and they're on to the next one, totally forgetting about the last. Too reactive and lacking patience and understanding.
Thank you so much for demonstrating the unity of humanity. I feel so humbled and touched. May God bless these people, and everyone else. Behold, we are one people, and we have all one language.
I am so glad to listen to music with these people and hear their opinions and life stories. You ask such good questions before showing new things. Much love to all.
Not only did this video make me cry because I know how much sorrow can be packed into a short life of 27 years, like so many rock stars who died at that age, but to imagine the weight of a career of fifty years and regretting it all... It's almost unbearable. I am deeply thankful for Mr Jutt's message at the end of the video: If you're in trouble and can find nobody else to blame but yourself, please seek help; there's no reason to punish yourself more than you already have. And love is not limited to Jesus or Muhammad; people existing now in the flesh that don't see you for what you have become but for what you have always been; the soul of a child always trying to do the right thing to make mom or dad smile. No matter what you have done, there will always be someone out there willing to smile at you when you do good again.
It is certainly painful, because it forces you to recognize your own regrets and then realize that you're not even close to Johnny's age yet. He's been piling them on.
Whoa, what a stirring conversation you struck up with the folks. Lovely, thank you. Very moving to watch. I’m grateful for the thoughtfulness of the show producers to have such conversation
I really like this channel. I just discovered it right now. Watching these videos makes me feel a deep love and respect for the people being interviewed.
A wonderful video! These people are so thoughtful, and SO insightful!! But especially, my heart and thoughts are with Parvati ~ may she remain strong for her children and herself. And a huge thank you to those bringing us these videos ~ you bring a whole new world to us, and hopefully to these beautiful people ~
Sorry for being mistaken about June, Johnny's wife. Thank you to all for educating me on it. For most of the times when I show them a piece of music I introduce them with more than just music itself, so for this I read somewhere on the internet that June died three months before this video and the house burned after a few years which I shared with them as well. I'll try to use multiple sources for things like that from next time and would correct them on the mistaken facts. Thank you
People make mistakes, it's fine. I'm just happy you chose this song for everyone to react to. 10/10 reaction.
I have known this song for 20 years and didn't fully compreehend until I watched this. You did the same with Zombie, so I am grateful to you for that. Thank you sir..
You do great, and after all, we are human, we all make mistakes! I have learned a lot from you and this channel!
No worries, friend. Keep up the good work.
They should see the lghter side of Johnny. They should see "One piece at a time" by Johnny Cash. With lots of Luric translation.. Very fun song.
A man of faith saying people shouldn’t all follow his faith, but rather follow good and kind people like Mr Rogers and Bob Ross. That’s an incredible message.
And one I very much agree with 👍

Essentially what the biblical message really is
Follow Ideas Not Men:
★ If a person had done an extra ordinary achievement and helped most of the people , we come to a conclusion that he is good and we can follow whatever he says.
★ This is the Cognitive bias - a systematic error in thinking.
★ We think that a sample taken from a enormous quantity is same as that of others surrounding that sample.
★ This is the problem of sampling.
eg : a kind of thought that a sample of rice taken from a rice bag is same as that of the other rice samples present in that same bag. But the truth is that all the rice samples in the bag may not same.
★ When we realize that the person whom we followed had done a bad thing ; we would get struck into the halo effect.
★ Halo effect is the tendency to judge a person based on a previously formed favorable or unfavorable impression.
★ At this point we would come to a cognitive bias that whatever good things he had contributed to the society is meaningless and his achievements are meaningless.
★ The identity of that person makes us blind from observing his good thoughts and ideas. Here that person is not the loser but we are the losers.
★ The solution is Don’t Worship Men if you like their ideas . Think about their Ideas and fit those ideas into your life if those ideas made sense to you.

@@TRYBALS you’ve always done REALLY well giving needed context to them, and it’s one of the things that sets your channel apart from other similar channels.
@TRYBALS I've honestly always been amazed and had a huge amount of respect for the way you've translated, because you're not just translating the words, you always translate the emotion and intellectual aspect of it. Some of these things you show them I myself have not seen, heard of, or known the history of, so one of my favorite things is to learn along with you. Sometimes I think "Hmmm, I don't think that is what it meant", but in those times I'm always fascinated to open my mind to your new perspective and see another angle as well. I don't even know who you are, but I know that you are an Artist and a Philosopher in your soul, from the way you translate.

I feel so sad to hear her speak of her situation. I know that there are women and men all over the world in similar situations but seeing an individual that's going through it that you feel an almost (virtual) personal connection with makes it that much harder to witness.
The moment that literally made my eyes tear up is as the song ended the one gentlemen spoke out to Johnny and said "but the time has gone by now sir" then saluted him. This reaction video really touched me.
Yes same, still teared up now. That was really beautiful.
Same. He hadnt even heard the meaning of those lyrics yet, but he inherently understood.
.me too
I saw that. We are all one in the same, in our core.
Yeah, that got me in the feels.
I like how they explained the cover; they prefaced the song by saying this is a cover done by a man who is many years senior of the original singer. This is why I never felt that either version is better or worse than the other- they are told from two different perspectives; a young man in the throws of immediate sorrow, and an old man reflecting on a lifetime of regrets. The song is the same, but it is so different.
Well put.
Yes 🖤
What a beautiful comment
Same story but different points of view 👌🏻 soon as ppl realise perception is everything life will get good for them
Exactly!
My heart breaks for Parvati trying to keep her family in good health and not having the support to do so. I wish her the best.
I'll second that. And may I say she is extremely beautiful and her clothing and jewellery magnificent.
@@dee_seejayshe is attractive and intelligent and strong. it’s very sad to see her speak her truth
first time watching the channel and was looking to see if anyone else felt this way. very sad. "the law favors him" :(
She has hinted at experiencing adversity in her life with her addict brother and abusive husband and in-laws. Women often don't have a lot of power or say in their circumstances. She somehow keeps that bright smile. I wish her happiness and peace.
And to think that Johnny's cover was so strong that once Trent heard it, he said it was no longer his song, but Johnny's. What a man.
That was definitely a respect move on both Men’s parts
To bad it's not his it's actually Trent's he shouldn't just give his song away like that the thought wasn't cash's
@@GeneralJiggle lol Trent had no platform no nothing so Trent is lucky John did this most are not lucky enough to have a song go out too millions
@@nunyabizz9804 both you and GR are such asshole.
GR, its not all about the damn money.
and Bizz, its not all about the damn fame.
This is about a man and his struggle while the other acknowledges the feat of said man did. Be respectful, ffs
@@neo7538 never said anything about money or anything nor was I being a asshole I just said Trent was lucky his voice was heard as most don’t get the chance specially ones with addiction so I guess you can say sorry for assuming cause after all what does that do makes a ass outta you not i
I know cultures and ways of life are different, but still it’s not easy to hear about Parvati’s home life and not feel sad or angry. However, she seems to be a strong-willed and determined woman, and I’m sure she’ll pass that same strength on to her children. I’m glad she’s able to be a part of your channel and share her life with us, as well as being able to speak her mind and perspective.
By the end of the month some 25,000 to 50,000 men will have heard(read) that bit about home abuse and clenched their fists in rage.
Its very sad. These women r born poor, married into poverty and they become maids and are the ones bringing the money in becoz of addict husbands who dont work.
This happens in the capital too.
My feelings are with her. Parvati seems to be an amazing and strong woman!!! I wish her a good life.
@@AtomixIGN chill out white knight im with her but don’t act when you don’t have full context 🤦🏻♂️
@@skrt99 it’s Pakistan bro. What other context do you need.
"The singer, or the writer?"
"Tell me about both."
A tribesman grasped what thousands of overly-tribal fans never could, that this song's story is that of both Reznor and Cash.
Exactly, kindred spirits.
The thing with the tribespeople like these in the video and even those in the middle of the Amazon they haven’t been corrupted by modern life as much as Cash’s fans. One day that’ll change but for now they still keep the pure wisdom of their ancestors.
Yes they sing about a common parallel in their lives. A threat that binds their souls.
I got chills! I love watching these good folk and this song is such a masterpiece but it is indeed both Johnny and Trents! They get it
I know this was a year ago, but someone else in the comments said it best, forgive me for paraphrasing a little;
"Claiming that one version of the song is better is not the answer. Both the original and Cash's cover are the same story, from different perspectives. Trent's version is from the perspective of a young man going through immediate sorrow, and Cash's version is from the perspective of an older man looking back on his life with regret." I think it's really beautiful how they said it.
The lady’s candid description of her life, was the highlight for me. It humbled me. May God ease her sufferings. She really conveyed the spirit of the song.
I was screaming at my screen, Servitude demeanour I WAS SCREAMING run run just ruuuun!
The lady in the picture was Johnny's mother-in-law, the mother of his wife June. Johnny loved her very much, like his own mother. The beautiful, sorrowful lady on the stairs was his wife June. The sorrow she felt for her husband's pain is evident in her eyes and on her face. She died several months after the video was released. And Johnny died a few months after June. During his life and career, Johnny was addicted to drugs and alcohol, and was estranged from his wife and children. But he did recover from his addictions and reconcile with his wife and family. It takes a great deal of strength to give up drugs and alcohol, a great deal of strength to humbly ask forgiveness from one's wife and children, and it's a strong and loving woman who can forgive.
At 4:04 that is Cash’s mother. June’s mother is Mother Maybelle Carter
It was Johnny's strong faith in Jesus that saw him through his addictions and pain. Even in this video, you can see multiple references to his faith.
His wife was the woman standing behind him
And living with all of that regret is a difficult thing. 😢
bless you, Christine
One thing i wish they included with this song is that when he played it for his daughter she cryed and said it sounds like you are trying to say goodbye. And he simply replied i am.
❤
Dude I’m literally crying right now.
This song and it’s connection to people cuts right to the bone.
When I heard it all I could think about was my deceased dad and my daughter (hopefully many) years down the road.
@@darthkorndog822 Me too, man. Me too.
I don’t know much about the man, but if what I understand about Johnny Cash is accurate I’d be willing to say that he’s easily one of the greatest men America has produced. A very profound man who held family and faith close to heart.
That whole album is his goodbye to the world.
I was very touched by Parvati's words about her home life. She is a strong woman to endure this, my thoughts will be with her and her children. I hope things improve.
Can she leave her husband and his family? I doubt it.
same here.
I wish her all the best.
I was also touched and concerned. Stay strong Parvati for your children.
Parvati is a superhero.
@@j.h.3777 She would have nowhere to go except for her mother's home. Obviously that's not an option because of her brother. Also, I doubt she would be allowed to take her son with her.
Her sad situation reminds me how lucky I am to live in a place where women have their own agency.
I was getting teary-eyed watching them grasp the pain in Johnny's face and voice, and then the guy says "this uncle singing??" and I busted out laughing. Love this channel.
same thing, water in my eyes and first thing this guy says "his voice so clear he could teach me English in a month" what a legend
Calling someone uncle in their culture is a sign of respect, my friend
@@tonykulikovsky I kind of picked up on that, thanks for confirming :)
I truly enjoy watching all of their reactions, but I'm especially fond of Parvati. It's hard to describe, but there's a wholesomeness to her observations that is so touching. It's sad to think that she is going through what she is at home, and being blamed for the actions that are not her own. It also seemed that this song resonated with her on a deeper level...how we all "Hurt" in our own ways...how interesting it is to consider the similarities and differences in the human condition, no matter the culture or part of the world.
Spot on and so beautifully put
I love the Tribal People. So much honesty, sincerity, mercy, sobriety, strength and thoughtfulness. Blessings to all of them.
Just messaging here, I do think the traits you said here are some things I need to learn for myself..^^;
@@Bladespeedy traits everybody could learn.
Sobriety?? One out of 6 admitted he was smoking heroin for years. wtactualf.
EDIT: 10:30, sorry, two heroin addicts mentioned in 7mins.

That goes for the whole crew you have here, they are all so amazing, glad this channel is helping them so much.

I can’t make it through this song without crying…seeing them react to it once he started singing just drives home how powerful this song with HIS voice was. The raw emotion he put into it is undeniable.
I'm with you I cannot make it through the song without crying
I am crying watching this. 😢
I ALWAYS cry to this song. Though Drugs are not my perticular addiction. I know the pain of hurting the ones I love. and this song HITS my sould EVERYTIME
Me too. This song also makes me cry every time.
Misty, I was a Johnny Cash tribute singer pre-covid for a handful of years, and every time I watch the Hurt video I almost bawl my eyes out. I don't know why, but I've never not shed a tear watching it. One of the most emotional music videos of all time.
As a recovering opiate/heroin addict who lost the love of her life and who has endured enough tragedy and pain for 10 peoples lifetimes this song makes me weep like a baby every single solitary time. It doesn't matter if it's Trent...Johnny or Sevendust (my fav).
The military started me on my addiction to opioids and psychotropics because of chronic pain from injuries and ptsd. After 8 yrs I got off them using cannabis. In 10 yrs I lost my parents, sibling and 8 other family members, I was still an addict when I lost my mom and even though i was there I really wasn't there. In those 10 yrs I also lost over a dozen military brothers and sisters to suicide or overdose. I still have "my" bullet sitting on a shelf, I carved my initials in it and daily look at it as a reminder of where I was. I'm glad you got off that poison. Keep them in your heart and live for their memory.
@@fmfdocbotl4358 when you say “where I was” I hope you mean it (“was”), I hope you’re no longer feeling hopeless. Please reach out if you need someone to talk to. You’re worth fighting for.
@@sondra4789 it's something I live with. During the pandemic I been staying home and the whole thing justified why I hate people, because they just think about themselves and not others.
I now your pain to well. Addiction is a soul twisting experience. And who is affected is like waves in the ocean.
My absolute fave too…Johnny Johnny Cash, Y’all!
One of the greatest covers ever done. Trent said when he first heard it, he kind of dismissed it as just a cover (he was in the middle of touring and working), and it wasn’t until he took the time to really listen to it that it’s revelatory power struck him and he realized what a complete work of genius it was. Now he absolutely loves it.
I myself consider this the greatest cover ever.
What would be your top 3?
@@Dhardy316 Hurt - Johnny Cash, Rise - Boyce Avenue, Just A Dream - Sam Tsui & Christina Grimmie
Reznor said that he no longer owns the song and that Johnny Cash made it his own.
@@beworgen Really? I would for sure put Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley in my top 3.
@@pittaaaabread I prefer the Leonard Cohen version. It shares a lot of qualities with this cover.
For me the reason this cover by Johnny Cash is so emotional and relevant is that those who know Johnny's life story he suffered greatly from drugs, alcohol and family issues. The song has a deep connection to his actual life. Amazing cover and It is wonderful to see people of other cultures having an open mind and experiencing things from other cultures as we should also!
Johnny is one of the few artists that actually feels like everyone's dad, uncle, etc. It's almost like he has a one-on-one connection with every fan of his.
"Surgeons of behavior." That is such a powerful line, truly. Very well said and so, so true. You go to a surgeon to get help in fixing something that is broken, and if your behavior and thoughts and feelings are what's broken, who better to turn to than such positive, wholesome and healthy models of what it means to be a good person like Mister Rogers or Bob Ross, etc. They can teach you things that you might be too afraid to ask or talk to your own parents about and that is such an important fact.
I liked the analogy of the surgeon, too.
Seeing this gives me just a little hope for the world, you know?
This song always makes me cry. It was amazing to get to see people watch it for the very first time. Thank you for that
I cry like a baby... every time. Even telling others to watch it, thinking about it...
I am sorry the director didn't point out his wife, June, who wasn't intended to be in the video, and died soon after filming... that look of love and understanding...
Me too. There is just another song that makes me wet eyed and that is Nightwish - Nemo.
In an interview with Roseanne Cash who cried when she heard this album and this song. She said to her dad, " It sounds like you're saying goodbye." Johnny replied, "I am"
Same, I'm always crying after.. doesn't happen with any other song..
The guy who runs this channel has been doing a phenomenal job lately.
"Follow such people who are full of love, ethics and values." A man who answered at the beginning regretting not having an education. Sir, thank you. YOU are more educated than WE ever will be. Much Love to you Sir and my respect.
I met Johnny Cash and his wife June when I was a teenager, after a concert they did in Colorado. They were both wonderful, down to Earth people. My father listened to his music all the time when I was growing up, so
I have great affection for his music today as a grown woman, especially this song. You are so very missed Mr. Cash. God rest your soul.
My grandmother met him in the 80's with my grandfather. They are both in heaven. I miss them dearly.
@@lukephillips4123 such wonderful people, both of them. The world became a bit more dim when they passed on.
I met him and June about a year before June died. I agree that they were both very friendly, down to earth people. I've met and worked for a lot of celebs over the years, and they were probably the highlight of my life. I'm in no way a country music fan, but Johnny is a legend, and deserves a great deal of respect for that but, more importantly, the kind and gentle man that he was, even after 50 years of fame.
Oh WOW!!! You are blessed ..
@@SundaysChild1966 yes I truly am. I have fond memories of meeting him and his wife. I have the photos somewhere. The man is a legend, yet was so humble, kind, caring and giving of his time.
Nothing hurt my heart so unexpectedly like hearing Parvati speaking one of her truths by connecting her experience to the lyrics of this song. I was not prepared to digest someone else's pain aside from the focus being on Johnny Cash. Wow, powerful. I want to feel sad for her or her situation but it doesn't feel like the correct emotion. I'm feeling proud of this channel and of Parvati. Yo go girl! Thank you to this channel in particular for finding a way for my heart to connect with hers.
I've been a fan for a while, always love the personalities, and the wisdom and thinking from the guests reacting. I feel a fondness for them all and unconsciously had my favorites....but damn. Parvati stole this show in an instant for me.
Individual truth is a lie. She was relating her experience in life and how it made her feel. I'll never understand why that wasn't good enough for people, so much so they had to change personal experience to personal truth.
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 uh what?
@@lualady936 He’s expressing his distaste for the use of “personal truth” when “personal experience” could be used instead. Given that there is no such thing as personal truth, I understand where he’s coming from.
@@GraysonMckernan I'm not understanding from either response how or why a personal truth is not acceptable to use as I did. Saying someone has shared a personal experience or personal truth in my mind is one in the same and I honestly used personal truth as it felt more powerful than experience. Experience as a word imo has lost a lot meaning and has become watered down and dismissive in a way. "Well in my experience...." or "applicants must have 5+ years of industry experience.."
My brain naturally prepares to disregard it and in a way subconsciously I wanted to convey that I accepted what it was she shared as I think there is tendency to take everything someone has to say about abuse with a grain of salt or just flat out no believe. like maybe it's not legally defined as abuse in one country and is in another. I don't know her circumstances nor would I want to try to pick it apart as to why our why not it was abuse.
Both replies are from people telling me personal truth is not correct. If I believe Jesus is the only saviour, that's my personal truth. It's not the truth or the only truth because there's many religions. If I say my personal truth is living with an abusive spouse despite in-laws taking the spouses side, I'd argue both experience and personal truth would be acceptable to use. I by no means am trying to say personal truth is an objective truth.
I just want to understand the thinking, clearly there's more than one person who feels this way and I cant comprehend why there is no such thing as a personal truth? Haha sorry I'm not satisfied with it doesn't exist.
@@lualady936 Truth implies something that can be proven and is universally accepted. Someone’s personal experiences and outlook on life is unique to that person and is not something that can necessarily be proven or disproven. Therefore there can be no such thing as “personal truth”. The statement contradicts itself.
The song was originally about the downward spiral of a young mans with drugs. Johnny Cash made his version to give the feeling of a man at his lifes end. The needle for illness and pain, the loss of things he loved, his regrets.
I love this song from both perspectives
The two-shaven men, despite not understanding the language, can very clearly feel the song's message on a profound level, and they display a massive amount of empathy. Where words fail music speaks.
" ..my empire of dirt.."
@@MR-nl8xr?
I was very moved by the empathy and kindness of the tribal people. This version of "Hurt is very beautiful."
Johnny Cash would have loved these tribal people.
Agreed! Empathy is a very beautiful trait to have ❤

She's so nice, and strong. She deserves a new beginning.
@@melmueller-spude8467 She has also expressed in multiple videos how she wants to see a zoo, and an airport. She longs exploration and freedom... I felt really sad about this whole thing.
@@razorian100 At least she gets some type of exploration from watching and discussing these videos.
What is beautiful about this song was even after all he accomplished “his empire of dirt” the things he valued most was his wife.
She was special, she had a voice like a bell and it was hard to find amidst all the noise
It would be fun to show them Johnny and June singing "Jackson" together in their prime, as a contrast. Something tells me they would get a kick out of the lyrics, too - it's a universal story, LOL.

It is easily his opus magnum.
He is not the creator, it’s cover, written by Trent Reznor. This “version” of Johnny cash doesn’t exist, these aren’t his words.
@@uncomfortablynumb9800 that’s a terrible take. It absolutely his version. It’s his inflection, his vocals, his instrumentals, his tempo.
@@uncomfortablynumb9800 we all know, that the original is from Nine Inch Nails. But the cover (-version) of Johnny Cash is for me (just my personal opinion) much more intense than the original.
@@sonnenkoenigreich Just don’t forget to give credit where it’s due. The original song is from NIN. The interpretation is certainly Cash’s
"You can't buy it sir" He said it with such conviction. He knew he was speaking wisdom
Wow. This one hit hard. That "My Husband is abusive" comment is a cry for help. Please TRYBALS, please take care of this beautiful woman (Parvati) and her children if it's within your power. Protect them. No matter the culture, equality is vital. No women or man should have to live in fear of the ones they love day after day. That's not love. That's hell.
I know Mark, but I am not allowed to interfere. If I do, she'd not even be able to come here at all. Things are really complicated for women of her tribe. It's not just Parvati but every women within Bheels in Sindh. I know it's sad but it's true for most of the time 😕

It is a very delicate situation, it's not as simple of just taking her away from this situation. Their culture centres heavily around their beliefs. Divorcing is heavily frowned upon and those who do are shunned.
@@Cautious_Gamer I think what this channel is doing for her (giving her money and showing her things that she would never see before) is helping her more than what the channel owner could do by interfering. Just my 2 cents.
@@ivanho34 THIS!
This channel is giving her a source of income, a place to express herself honestly, and the information to understand the injustice she faces.
That is all she needs. That is all our feminist ancestors needed to start changing our culture. And there is a good reason Parvati’s in-laws are worried about her coming to make these videos. They know she is capable of acting on the ideas she is exposed to here. They know she could be a leader in making changes. She reminds me a lot of my own rabble-rousing feminist ancestors, and she isn’t facing anything they didn’t.
There's something about seeing a person show so much love and respect to a person they have never met that always brings a tear to my eye. That feeling that we are all family.
I love this song. I loved Nine Inch Nails version but Johnny Cash's version just brought out emotions that is hard to escape from. Trent Reznor said, after listening to Johnny's version, that it was no longer his song; it belonged to Johnny Cash now. Just a little correction, the woman in the photo was Johnny's mother. Johnny's wife was the one standing on the staircase. Her name is June Carter Cash who was also a wonderful singer and sang with Johnny as well. June died shortly after the release of this version. Johnny died about 4 months after her. It's said that even though he had health complications, he just couldn't live without her.
Splicing in the footage of him as a younger man I think also adds a lot to the music video.
I'm not sure I'd believe it but I know of a man who lost his will to live after his beloved wife passed. I felt poorly for his kids and grandchildren.
It has been proven that you can actually die of a broken heart
Trent said that after watching the video, when he first listened to the song he wasn't impressed. Nor should he have been, Rubin butchered his arrangement.
npyh vers are abpit different age/stage in life. origanal is about escaping drug addiction and depression as a young man and cashes version is about a old man coming to terms with his life ending
"But the time has gone by now sir". That simple, beautiful statement brought tears to my eyes. As someone with PTSD and for those out there who suffer as well, it is so easy for us to live in the past. But what this man summed up in eight words is EXACTLY what we need to remember. The bad times have passed, and so long as our mind is occupied with the past we lose our ability to focus on the good times yet to come. This song is being sung by a man who is haunted by his past, consumed with it, and ultimately robbed by it. It robs us the HERE and the NOW, and our ability to actively engage in meaningful relationships. We cannot start again a million miles away, but we can start again with the next step. I hope this writing helps someone who is currently suffering from PTSD or any traumatic life experiences present or past. "When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind" - Chester Bennington
You said clearly what I've been trying to say for over 30+ years.
I'm 55 (2022), suffer from PTSD (multiple reasons why). I've been stuck over half my life in past trauma. I've only recently began to find a way out.
I'm telling people to look forward, not back.
Steve Harvey told an anecdote that helps me a lot....
_"Think of life from the view you have in your car. Look how big the windshield is. So you can see everything in front of you._
_Now look in your rear view mirror. Look how small it is compared to the windshield._
_That's because what's ahead of you is more important than what's behind you._
_Don't focus on the past, or you're miss what's up ahead!"_
These words left me speechless. I watched them several times a day, for weeks, until I had them memorized. I still find myself looking back sometimes, but when I do, I remind myself to look ahead!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write. Yes it's really helpful. I'm making progress but I'm seeking professional counselling to get me out of this PTSD trap of social anxiety and the worry that it could happen again, and the insomnia and comfort eating. I'm doing my own healing, getting involved in nature, Earthing, trekking, gardening, praying, meditating, self care treatments, going out with friends. Support of friends and family is so crucial. Even though I've became a bit of an introvert, I need that contact. God bless us all, and give us the strength to get through and thrive v soon 🙏🏽

This is my 4th video I've watched, and just subscribed to the channel. Watching these videos has struck me in a profound way. I'm a 60 year old farmer in North Texas, and I tell everyone I know about this channel, even if they won't watch it. Much like the Tribal people here, in rural Texas, you can be isolated from the rest of the world in many ways, but most importantly in a cultural sense. I've that individual humans throughout the world where much like me, our feelings about war, hate, love, joy, are much the same, but we don't get that from news stories, movies, etc. What we get is what our leaders and the media want us to see, to portray other countries people in either a negative light, or a positive one, depending on the political relationships between us.
After watching several of the videos, I feel a kinship with these people, because I see them for who they are, what they find confusing, funny or beautiful, and I see in them people around me that would be saying the same things, just in a different language.
Years ago, when the Internet first came into being, I had high hopes that it would break down these artificial walls separating us from the rest of humanity, but in the years since, I've grown to think it just made things worse, that we still couldn't communicate with others, we just see what our "leaders" want us to see, and I despaired of it.
This is what the internet was meant to be, in its purest form. I thank you for creating this content, keep up the good work, and I hope there is a way that these people can know the affect getting to know them, their true selves, has on others. Again, thank you!
You sound like a good man to me.
Aaaaah Texas farm country. Beautiful for you?, I hope. Miss it, fond memories. Just passing through
I would like to thank you for your comment. I feel and know the same about all things you said. In my life, I am 51 now, born and living in Germany, I met people from every corner of the world, abroad or in my own country and this together with understanding of the terrible parts of history of Germany made me learn the following conclusion:
We, all human, every single being are worth exactly the same, no matter if you are an indian in the rain forrest or the CEO of multi-billion company. We need and want all the same basic things and invisible all people are connected. It‘s so sad to see how governments and the worldwide propaganda tells us the same daily and they do a very sad job because the majority believes everything they say. So people stay separated over religions, borders, different political systems, but that comes all only from above. The average joe in china, russia the US or Syria only wants shelter and feed his family and to watch his children grow. I would say there is literally no normal individual, nowadays that would prefer to throw bombs. It’s too sad, I apologize and I wish you health and a good life.
What I like about them is their genuine wisdom and how easily they can talk. I really wish them happy and long life.
I will remember the phrase “surgeons of behavior.” What an insightful expression! The people you surround yourself with are your surgeons, as well as those you respect highly. Thank you for this thought. 🙏
I thought the same thing when I heard that! Genius!
It has another meaning as well, When it comes down to it, there is no one else you trust more then your Surgeon. Because they are literally holding your life in their hands. And translating such an analogy gives a nice topic. Like, when it comes to such good hearted people, you're opening yourself, giving your trust, for someone who can shape your behavior in an amazing way.
"Follow such people who are full of love, ethics and values, consider them as your surgeons, Surgeons of behavior"
This spoke to me in a way not many words do, Thankyou.
Johnny Cash's rendition is so hauntingly beautiful it just moves me to tears. Its a song that you don't need to understand the lyrics to feel. Considering this song released in 2002 a year before he died, it is one of the greatest goodbye songs ever written.
For real. And the fact that it came out only a few months after his wife’s passing (a fact I didn’t know) makes it so much harder to listen to.
Very well said!
She actually died a few months after he recorded this
Every time I listen to a reaction I hear a different perspective on I’m the meaning of the lyrics. Some talk about his loathing for his wife, some his addiction to drugs, others his fleeting fame. He truly did do the song justice and I’d say a perfect song to sum up his life
Honestly. Every time he goes “What” in “What have I become?”, I got insane chills. I was almost violently shaking from it the first time I heard it, then “…have I become” came in, and that’s when the frisson turned into an overwhelming welling in myself it just had to escape out of my eyes.
I play lots of guitar, this song is the one that will make me bawl my eyes out all over my strings. Every time. Sung or Unsung
Thank you for this sir. It's very interesting to see other cultures react to the music that I love personally. Every time I hear this song I cry. It's so relatable and it moves you and you can see it. It moved them as well. Which is exactly what Johnny Cash was trying to do. Rest in peace Mr. Cash.❤
The "Surgeons of Behavior" quote was the most profound reaction I have ever heard in my life! I was so deeply moved by his words I began to cry...
ya took the words right out of my mouth bud
Could you explain me this quote please, english is not my native language
Me too.
@@bamblille872 He is saying that people should allow people like Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross to heal your behavior like a surgeon would heal your body.
@@paulpardee aah ok thanks
"I wish I could remain a child forever"
That is so much deeper then most people can comprehend. Poetic to say the least.
@Nathan Hynes
Literally anyone can understand the desire to be a child again. Not deep at all.
Was this a serious comment? it’s a hilariously stupid thing to say.
@@gregtaylor9806 Yes it was serious, clearly you had a perfect childhood good for you
@@nathanhynes5321 You don’t have to have had a wonderful childhood to wish to be young again. It’s really not that deep like the comment you’re responding to says. Reminiscing and yearning for youth again is a concept at old as consciousness. What’s actually meaningful is that the song lyrics state that even if the singer got the chance to go back, they’d end up the same person somehow. THAT’S deep.
@@coledevlin3984 unna
it's actually just pretty sad. he needs to find more meaning in his life, family, religion, purpose
You could never understand or apprehend how wonderful it is for me sitting here in the west watching people half a world away reacting to song that are so emotionally engrained in our lives, thank you so much and please get them to react to more music that they would normally never be exposed to. I appreciate they don't understand the lyric and you have to explain to them what is being said but it is still wonderful to watch. If i could give this video a thousand thumbs up i would, sadly i am only able to give it one.
Amazing! The "Needle" was also a reference to the imprisonment he felt by needing almost constant insulin injections. He had such advanced diabetes that he was almost blind and crippled from it. It ultimately killed him from complications of it. Love hearing these people's opinions. Excellent!!
Lmao no? The song was written by a heroin addict named Trent Reznor
I truly admire these men and women. Clarity of thought and morals. God bless them.
So true
Uncorrupted.
This was amazing. Mohammad brought tears to my eyes with his wise words about Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross. I also loved the older man's thoughts about gratitude ~ appreciating what we have rather than focusing on what we don't have. It's amazing how this song allowed the shy woman to open up about her situation ~ I hope she can get some help and support. 🙏 And I loved the screen where we can see all the reactions at once.
Can you imagine the smile that would have put on My. Rogers face as he thanked deeply thanked him for his words and told him loved him?
Loved that surgeons of behavior line, odd but it makes sense.
Parvati is an absolutely amazing heroic woman. Just saying.
I was more feeling sad for her. Feels like she is stuck in a situation with no way out.
@@BmanNL1 Indeed. But as Johnny sings in another video, she won't back down. The fact that she actually appears on these reaction videos despite the opposition she faces from some around her is a sign of strength. I wish I could help her, but I admire her immensely. She knows who she is. Having seen her with her children it's obvious she is a great mother.
@@blindknitter Right? I wish MY mother had been even half as good as Parvati is to and for her children. I sit much straighter, shoulders back, chin out, and smiling because of Parvati's strength she has shown here. It's a terrible thing to find yourself having to walk such a fine line as she is. I do not envy her this. But I am proud of her. So proud, I think my heart just might burst. She is a warrior and a queen, and I am so grateful for her strength and love for all of us. Parvati is an example we would all do well to emulate. God love her and bless her. 💚
@@xMarque101x the saddest part of the entire video. I didn't know.
I imagine that she likes doing these videos as this may be the only place where she can open up and speak more freely. I hope her husband or anyone else from where she lives become aware of anything she says as that may place her in danger, or she may not be allowed to keep doing the videos. She is, along with the others, having her eyes opened up, this is an education for all of them.
It's interesting that Mohammad spoke of wanting an education.
From his last statement, it is very clear that he is already a kind and intelligent individual. His final thoughts were very profound! Truly, words to live by.
"Wow, bro, wow", wasn't expecting to start crying watching this. This video here is the First time I heard the song (sang or covered by any artist, was totally new to me) so that in and of itself was obviously emotional, but hearing the stories and thoughts shared. My heart aches for Parvarti I really hope that she continues to do this channel because she adds a great deal and is much loved by us viewers. I feel sad though, as she has mentioned a couple of times now how her neighbours and in-laws badmouth her and it seems she has little autonomy at home - her father in law changes or turns down quiet her music, her neighbours (and in-laws) make "backbiting" comments, her own husband and father of their children, her babies, puts his own wants first, I was shocked at hearing that he prevents his small child from eating the breakfast his mother lovingly prepares for him to instead get him cigarettes and even light them for him! That his family defend and condone such behaviours. She can state so matter of factly that her husband is abusive, and she doesn't have to hand any of the support systems like exist in my country, to help her. And on top of all that, and being a mother, and her work, she has the worry and stress of her brother having an addiction and stealing from their mother.
She has expressed in previous videos that she feels a lot of stress, and clearly she feels some guilt that has been put upon her, it is not a burden of her making, but then she feels the weight and is then regretful if she is short tempered with her children.
Just imagine how you would feel if instead of hearing Parvati telling this, imagine it is your sister, or best friend, or daughter etc, how you would feel, what you would say and do right away, to try and start to help... I feel like that, but I have no way of helping, no idea what to say or do if there even is anything.
I remember hearing this song when it first came out and that it had a profound effect on me. Hearing it here now, I was basically sobbing. There’s just something about the vibe and the emotions conveyed in this song. The message touches the soul.
Yeah, this was a VERY powerful video, wich it makes sense, both versions of the song are as well, but Mister Cash's version is soul penetratingly powerful.
LOVED the original. Johnny did it very well also.
@@salahad-din4114 that last part would have to be left to taste. As much as I liked Johnny's version, no one can present the full emotion like the person who wrote it.
I believe Johnny only sold more due to his higher fame.
@@salahad-din4114not an attack in any way, but a big part of that is environmental. Have they heard any NIN before or since, or been around anyone who liked NIN.
Johnny's version was more "relatable" due to the type of music. There are many that will hate the real version, simply due to the style of his music.
Unfortunately this world puts WAY too much emphasis on how someone looks. Not the thoughts they can add to the world.
You're honestly doing more important work here than anyone may fully grasp but this is far beyond entertainment this is extremely educational everyone can learn a lot from each other. I'd also like to acknowledge that it takes a tremendous amount of work to communicate these works of art accurately and you're doing a fantastic job. Translating all of it from one language to another and explaining it so well plus translating it through cultures from American culture through your culture into their culture in a way everyone can understand and relate on the human level. That is not something just anyone could do so great work to those behind the camera and I'm grateful for the tribal people for agreeing to this and sharing their thoughts. I'm American and born in the same state Johnny Cash was (Arkansas) and this is beyond amazing to see. I still prefer nine inch nails original version but both are absolutely beautiful just from two opposite perspectives I'll probably appreciate Cash's version when I get around his age. I'm 26 right now.
You nailed it on the head bud, and yes as you get older you will see the bigger meanings in stuff like this.. younger, I thought is was odd my mom would cry during movies or my father would get emotional during family gatherings and such until I hit my 30s it’s that their is so much sadness and hate in the world the little acts of compassion or bravery with no gain but to help hits you right to the core.
You will! I just turned 70 years young. I was in my early 20s and every time the jukebox played “ Those We’re The Days My Friend” by Mary Hopkins I knew it was speaking to me now and the future looking back on now. That was 50 years ago and it is true. I’ve come full circle! As will you.
Words can have two meanings. Fortunately words like these can ground us. We remember where we were, where we’ve been, where we wish to go, and in the end, where we stand.
I agree 100%. It was so interesting to see their reactions, and how they interpreted the song.
Such a brilliant idea to see their reaction and share it with the world.
1000% agree. Amazing how well he's able to translate the everything not just the words. Very talented
I'm 55, and I like Cash's version. You'll understand why in your 40s. You realize there are fewer days ahead than there are behind you. You regret the days you wasted, and moreso the time you wasted on Toxic people. There are MANY things you wish you could do over, but life doesn't work that way. You learn from your mistakes, and keep going as best you can. You also learn all the stuff you worked so hard to get really doesn't mean anything. ("Empire of dirt") All the people you loved have died, moved away & you can't find them, or they were wolves in the fold; they used you, tossed you aside. They never loved you, even though you were devoted to them. Hard lessons, all.
Still, you wake up everyday, and get going. If you're lucky, you find someone of good character to go through life with. Not everyone is so fortunate. Some of us lost that person years ago. In my case, a drunk driver killed her, and left me with injuries I still suffer from. Had we left the theater a minute sooner, or a minute later, everything would be different today. But it is what it is. It took a long time for me to come to terms with that. I hope NO ONE ever goes through that.
You will have regrets, what ifs, and maybes. Try not to dwell too long on them. Don't ask why people left you, the why doesn't matter. Let them go. The same is true of pretty much everything that happens to us. Don't dwell on it. Don't beat yourself up. Learn from it, and keep going forward. Let go of the past. It's done. You cannot change it, so don't hold on to it.
Look ahead. Always.
Best Wishes to all.
This is one of the most genuine, unique channels. Rather than just “reactions” we get to hear the thoughts and insights of people who seem more attuned to the nature of man, the ebb and flow of religion and the wisdom to understand what or who can bring happiness to others and themselves. I myself do not understand the traditions that Pravati and her children live within. I admire her strength to live beyond barriers and instill kindness and love in her children, that is not easy, but she puts her children first. Thank you all for sharing parts of yourselves and your lives with us that watch your channel. 💜
That is the draw of this channel for me. I enjoy hearing their perspectives.
I love how respectful and also curious these individuals are. To want to understand fully the ideas and feelings being portrayed and to actively listen. I love music in the fact it can transcend barriers and languages. We may not know what is being said, but we can feel the emotions conveyed. The power of music is something that has been around for ages and it still ceases to amaze me it’s evocative nature.
I remember listening to the original version by nine inch nails for years. How unpopular it was in mainstream. Johnny Cash really captured this song beautifully, and made me cry a bit. But the effect was that everyone was able to enjoy this song, and not be locked down because of musical taste.
The original has the curse words, which serve a powerful role when used sincerely.
It was pretty popular where i was back then 🤷🏻♂️
@@tylerp3397 same
Even though the JC version comes from a place in his heart that you can feel and is a phenomenal cover. I still will always prefer the NIN version
It's funny because the NIN, and Cash version both have completely different meanings, at least for me. NIN is singing about a young heroin addict who's driven away everyone, and addiction has stolen everything from him, leaving him broken, and destitute. Johnny Cash's version is about an old man at the end of his life, looking back with many regrets, and lamenting that of all the money, everything he does have is now useless, and would trade it just to have his loved ones back, and maybe even making different choices to not end up like that again.
Pavarti is such a deep thinker. She's so thoughtful and she takes in so much of this. I love her perspective most of all.
That song makes me tear-up every time. Thanks Trent Reznor and Johnny Cash.
Truly in the greatest depths of my soul, I cannot determine which version of this song I love the most. They both hit so brutally. Trent Reznor’s version has always spoken to where I am currently, in whatever despair I feel. It emphasizes the pain and is so raw that makes me feel alive-like hurting oneself might. It changed apathy into anguish, and i want that sometimes. Cash’s version makes me feel so full of sorrow for him and for how long he suffered, but the building tension and more epic quality actually gives me a glimmer of hope: that maybe I can learn, and not live my whole lifetime paralyzed by depression. It makes me realize how incredible NOT worth it it is to go down the familiar spiral. What is comfortable in the short term while waste your years on earth. I believe Cash covered this song specifically to tell us, from the perspective of an older man, exactly that. I am so grateful to both artists for the honesty with which they did this song.
I can't ever make it through this song without crying my eyes out. He reminded me of my dad who was also a musician who also passed away shortly after my mom did. 2 weeks... So I get it. He has real pain when he sang this and I feel an unbearable ache in my heart for him and myself. Rest now...
Same...every single time, no matter with or without the video, i cry my eyes out
This song always makes me cry. The Nine Inch Nails version is amazing, but this hits your soul and conveys the utter pain and suffering in the words being sung. I don't think anyone besides Johnny Cash will ever be able to do a better cover of this. I feel for Parvati. I hope someday she can leave her husband and inlaws, but I know it is nearly impossible in her culture to do so. All of them had a great understanding of the pain in this song and how it was a message to be better as a human being. At least, that's what I got from this. Love to them and to my fellow humans here.
Nine Inch Nails is the original...it's not a version
@@keithaguilar9790 Trent Raznor said himself that this is Cash's song now.
@@milliken86gaming32 I get that...but in reality, Johnny Cash didn't write the lyrics nor did he compose the music. That doesn't change because he preferred Cash's rendition over his own.
@@keithaguilar9790 The Original version is still a version.
I was an addict in the early 2000's and I just remember playing this version and also Trent Reznors on repeat because addiction is so so lonely and the song spoke to me directly to say "Hey, you're not alone. What you are feeling is valid, and you are not alone in this." That sentiment is what really carried me through the darkest times in my life.
When I was deep in my addiction this was one of my go to songs as well. It said the same thing to me as it did to you. And after being sober for almost 5 years this song still touches my heart deeply.
Everyone is an addict of something, just some proverbial drugs in life aren't as damaging while others are worse.
@@nocturnal101ravenous6 Ain't that the truth. Some are addicted to drugs, alcohol, and obviouslly damaging stuff. Others are addicted to lying, of hurting people, themselves or otherwise. "Everyone is drunk on something"
Why are you doing this to me?
Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be?
Why am I seething with this animosity?
(Hey god) I think you owe me a great big apology
Every time I hear Johnny Cashes cover Hurt, I tear up and feel a big wave of pain. I can hear the pain in his voice as he relays the message. Rest in peace Johnny Cash 😢😢❤❤.
It blows my mind how much these folks talk about depression and how understanding they seem about it all. Theres so many in first world countries that just act like you need to suck it up and get over it, and these people that so many here would consider "uncultured" or "backwards" accept it as a real and powerful thing. Really eye opening, always love your content!
Western society is sick from its own beliefs. The west self sabotages because we never live in our humanity
People may think of them as being "backwards" but they've been an established culture a millennia longer than the "west" has been.
@@matthewbeasley7765 facts
They would still tell you that you needed to get over it and get on with yourself. It's not like people can't recognize depression around the world and throughout time. But the fact of the matter is your only options are to get over it or die or fade away.
“WE”learn through experience just as they’re explaining, but their understanding of the difference between knowledge and beLIEf is astounding! Beyond the labels, and exceeding the west’s understanding of consciousness and the acceptance of what is.
Abdul is so full of wisdom! He has such a kind, gentle spirit. I feel like I could sit and listen to him for hours, and he would give me all the wisdom I need in life.
This video really made me cry.
I am still struggling with addiction and I am glad you guys really have some inspiring words to tell.
I also feel very sad for the woman dealing with her brother and her husband...you deserve so much better my dear
Stay strong Marky, brighter days lay ahead for you, bro! 👊🏽
I’m in recovery now and have been clean since Oct 2020. I got ejected in a rollover crash on the highway, after a long recovery was put on pain management til they cut everyone off with only a months supply. Never thought I would turn to heroin. Then I did. Same with fentanyl. Starting in February 2015 I lost my brother (first OD from fentanyl), then everyone started dropping like flies. My cousin, my uncle, my best friend, ex bfs, and countless others.
I just didn’t want to be conscious and tried anything to numb it all. I wasn’t trying to OD but always thought maybe I won’t wake up. I will just feel bliss then fade into nothingness. ODing on street corners, abandos , etc and after being narcaned my first thought was anger about why they brought me back.
It was a hard road that ended as it always does.. jail, institutions, and death. I got on suboxone and it helps a lot. I hope you know you’re not alone, and that you are stronger than you think.
Hang in there man. Perseverance, onward and upward. 🤝
@@marquisdelafayette1929 Same here bro, sub's helped me save myself from that life. Still on sub but im happy where i am at least
You can do it. Stay strong. Lots of love
This was one of the best I've seen. I feel sorry for Trent Reznor. He wrote such a profound song and performed it so well. But Johnny Cash breathed life into it with his stoic realism. He lived it for so long. I cried hearing him perform it.
I cry EVERY time I hear it.
Why feel sorry for him? So profound was Trent's insight into the human condition that another artist from another time was able to not only understand it but breathe such deep, new life into it. I would consider this the ultimate compliment.
@@michaelhorne8366 exactly. Id feel super Happy for Trent. Cash didnt steal the spotlight from him. If one truly understands how impactful music can be then they will understand that while the song is the same the points of view are so different that the song means completely seperate things. Trent was a young man, he was growing in popularity faster than he could cope with it and that put a lot of pressure on him to be great and he wasnt ready for all that. He wrote a song about the insecurities he felt and the self loathing he did. Cash was an old timer, he was nearing the end of his days and he knew it. So he performed the song and sang a whole new story about a man at the end of the line who had a lot of regrets and a lot of pain of his own. He and Trent had pain, its a universal thing we all feel. But what causes it and what we do with it is so different for everyone. This song proves that point better than anything
I certainly wouldn't feel sorry for Trent. As a NIN fan it was considered pretty epic to say the least. The pain and regret of a young man looking forward and the fear he may not be able to change things. Jonny was the reverse, his take on looking back at things he could never change added a different level. Both versions are majestic, but Cash had that little extra Hurt!
Reznor didn't become a 90s statistic from the needle. So many did.
Johnny Cash was a truly exceptional human being. He spoke for the underprivileged and disenfranchised every where. He was an honest singer and songwriter. There were no ‘performances’ just being in whatever state he was in a raw yet sensitive form. All were welcome to listen to his music and all can relate if they are brave enough to listen with their heart. If you do, there is a wealth of wisdom and wit in all of his songs.
Most fascinating! These people are thoughtful, analytical and caring. Surgeons of behavior. Brilliant!
This song was a part of my childhood. My father listened to that album on loop after my grandfather died, so it is a very strong memory in my life. My family had generational alcohol issues on my fathers side, but I was lucky my life was overall good. But to see people of other nations and walks of life hear it, listen to it, and take it in like a first time... it was everything to see and listen to their takes on Mr. Cash's version of Hurt.
This is an amazing song. I loved it when Reznor put it out, but Cash found a way to elevate it to a different level. I enjoy watching this channel. Though the folks featured in it come from very different backgrounds than I, they often voice things that resonate with me. In general, we humans are more similar than we are different.
Johnny changed the meaning from a young man spiraling out of control into a old man living a life of regret
I agree with David Murine that it’s simply a different perspective. I don’t agree that Johnny Cash ‘elevated’ the song. I have a deeper respect for Trent Reznor for having the talent and such raw candor in writing this piece to begin with. I really wish they would have shared both versions. I feel the tribal people would have benefited from seeing the original version from the writer’s eyes, as well.
Even Trent said after Johnny put this version out, that Hurt wasn't his song anymore. It belonged to Johnny now.
@@LiberPater777 Hurt belongs to Trent, and always will do.
You can clearly see how moved they all were. Especially the older man really grasped Jonnies' music and felt/understood his pain
He saw Johnny's past through his eyes. He was the only one staring at the screen as if he were watching something that was breaking his heart.
The part that always gets me is when he closes the piano at the end. He was really expressing the kind of feelings and regrets one might have when you know your time on earth is coming to an end. It took me years to watch the video and not cry. It's just so touching to watch. Thank you for this.
I recently discovered your channel...I LOVE IT!! Music IS the International language of ALL OF US!!
This was WONDERFUL. I loved hearing them open up about themselves and thier lives like this! I would love to hear more from them about their dreams, lives, struggles, beliefs and joys. The people are the truly interesting part of these videos - their reactions are secondary.
I love how the guy from Nine inch nails (who wrote this) said this was no longer his song. It belonged to the one and only Johnny Cash.
It really does feel like a song Johnny should have written.
Thats actually kind of a very positive thing,, considering what the original song was about.
Trent Rezner
Yea, and Johnny had to change some lyrics too. But Johnny gave this song something special for sure
Trent Reznor wrote it due to his brutal drug addiction. He almost died in 2000
Another excellent video. I requested that you play this song for them and I am more impressed than ever in their reactions. This is a song that moves me to tears almost every time I listen to it. I had hoped that they could find the emotion in it & with your help in translating, I was not disappointed. I am sad to hear of Parvati’s abuse, but have immense respect for her sharing it with us & hope that her strength continues to serve her well.
Amazing! This made me feel so connected with these people being interviewed because they understood everything Johnny Cash was saying in this song even though it’s a cover, he had his own demons he fought his whole life. And in the end he knew he threw away so much time to his addiction. Anyone who watches that video with honesty, can see just how much he regret he carried with his choices in life and now he’d be wishing for more time but unfortunately wasn’t given much more time. I’ve heard the song countless times and this time honestly made me😢. I saw it as more than just a song and understood what he was trying to say with the scenes in the video. It also truly helped me understand when these 5 individuals gave their own commentary as this was their first time hearing this song or watching this video. They didn’t even need to know the life of Johnny Cash to know exactly who he was and the demons he carried with him. They all understood exactly what he was saying in his video. So moving, so beautiful!
Ah! I love this song. Excellent choice, Adnan! Really loved their words of wisdom. My heart goes out to Parvati and the kids. May the men in her life find the strength to improve themselves for the sake of their family and their future. Sending much love
🤗❤️🌷
well said
I cry every time I hear this song. Thank you for this video. Their reactions are heartwarming and very much needed.
I had to watch this a few times because of how truly and deeply I was moved by this video. I don't usually comment very often but something about this video, this song, these beautiful people, and their stories really hit a part of my heart here. I commented about how truly wonderful Parvati is and how beautiful her soul is before I was even 2 minutes into the video before she had shared a part of her story and I had a feeling but didn't truly know just how truly strong she is. There's not words capable of capturing the strength, beauty, and love she is. I too have been in a relationship involving addiction, verbal, and physical abuse and know how hard it is some days to even make it through the day sometimes. To see her here every time to be with us and support her children despite all the stigma and struggles she faces to do so, and to watch her raise her children right teaching them to follow a life that brings education, love and happiness and not one that brings harm and sadness to themselves and others is truly a testament to how strong and beautiful she is. And such a wonderful mother. I know you make absolutely sure that everyone is here because they want to be, and I know every single bit of money after production goes straight to them but I hope more than anything that doing these videos brings her and everyone some happiness and joy, even if its just a few hours.
And if course to YOU my dearest friend, you also shine with beautiful, kind, generous, intelligent, and caring light. You are just as special as they are and I hope this brings you joy as well. The world is a brighter place with you in it and I am honored to call you my friend too.
Adding another comment to drive engagement instead of editing my last one.
❤
I only hope she controls her money and that her family doesn’t! Maybe she can make a break someday.
"I sometimes wish i could remain a child forever." This is my favorite answer. I always think back to my childhood and think about how i was so ignorant to everything and just that innocence i wish i could have back.
You did an amazing job translating this song. Johnny himself conveyed his emotions so well. That makes the song that much more powerful. I loved they loved his accent. I found that interesting they had an easier time picking it up than some other before. Everyone had very good insights. This song has quite a universal message.
A relative that grew up about an hour and a half east of where Johnny Cash did, taught English as a second language. He also mentioned how they liked his accent.
I’m not kidding when I say this, watching you folks review this song, as well as your reviews of Metallica and System of a Down, absolutely blew me away.
This review specifically made me cry.
Listening to Johnny pour his heart out upon the floor, and listening to your thoughtful understanding of the artists intent was amazing.
I’ve been following your channel for months now, mostly your experiences with food.
Please do more of these music reviews and reactions!
I love seeing music be an international unifying force.
It speaks from the soul and connects us all as human beings.
Thank you so much, and please continue your work!!
So many lessons to learn from our Trybals friends. May they all know peace. Thank you for this thoughtful reaction of this beautiful song.
Holy moly, I hadn't really processed this song in this way until this video. Thank you for putting this out there and sharing it.
Chacha is so wonderful. I wish I could just hang out in his presence for a while. All of these people are so perceptive about the emotion behind the music. They understand the human experience and speak without hesitation.
Damn, I weep like a child every time I hear this version. It was my favorite NIN song, as well. But just so much more impactful to hear Johnny perform it. I struggled with heroin addiction, as well, so I feel every lyric of this song. Feeling like a literal toxin to every person in your life that you care about…it’s a lot to take in, thinking about that time in my life. But this is what I love so much about music and the reason I have been performing on one stage or another for over 25 years. And this is the reason Johnny was the Master that he was. It’s so cool to be able to witness other cultures enjoying this music…makes me wonder what Johnny would’ve thought about it.
I love their calmness
Being in mid twenties I see a lot of people always in a rush
Nobody sits still, speak calm and think more anymore
Everybody is agitated all the time
Exactly right, and many people no longer take the time to absorb things any more. They get their quick fix and they're on to the next one, totally forgetting about the last. Too reactive and lacking patience and understanding.
@@TheNoNonsenseNinja Yeah! Spot on!
Thank you so much for demonstrating the unity of humanity. I feel so humbled and touched. May God bless these people, and everyone else. Behold, we are one people, and we have all one language.
I am so glad to listen to music with these people and hear their opinions and life stories. You ask such good questions before showing new things. Much love to all.
Not only did this video make me cry because I know how much sorrow can be packed into a short life of 27 years, like so many rock stars who died at that age, but to imagine the weight of a career of fifty years and regretting it all... It's almost unbearable. I am deeply thankful for Mr Jutt's message at the end of the video: If you're in trouble and can find nobody else to blame but yourself, please seek help; there's no reason to punish yourself more than you already have. And love is not limited to Jesus or Muhammad; people existing now in the flesh that don't see you for what you have become but for what you have always been; the soul of a child always trying to do the right thing to make mom or dad smile. No matter what you have done, there will always be someone out there willing to smile at you when you do good again.
It is certainly painful, because it forces you to recognize your own regrets and then realize that you're not even close to Johnny's age yet. He's been piling them on.
Love your comment
Whoa, what a stirring conversation you struck up with the folks. Lovely, thank you. Very moving to watch. I’m grateful for the thoughtfulness of the show producers to have such conversation
I really like this channel. I just discovered it right now.
Watching these videos makes me feel a deep love and respect for the people being interviewed.
A wonderful video! These people are so thoughtful, and SO insightful!! But especially, my heart and thoughts are with Parvati ~ may she remain strong for her children and herself. And a huge thank you to those bringing us these videos ~ you bring a whole new world to us, and hopefully to these beautiful people ~
