    ABOUT…
    I am Rebecca and I am one heck of a passionate vocal coach/singer/songwriter/impressionist/health/fitness/self- improvement/anything that makes me smile!! I love anything vocal/singing related and geek out on it every day. I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well maybe but it’s true. So what’s motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2017 and my ovaries and fallopian tubes. The tumour was the size of a 20 week baby!! However, despite not being able to walk for a couple of weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn’t an easy time but I won’t let fear dictate my life. I didn’t think ‘why me’, there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it’s not always smooth sailing. It’s true when you hear, ‘Life is short’, the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and practice gratitude everyday…It’s so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…?
    Also thank you for all your support. It means a lot.

    ""Trent Reznor says about the Cash version of Hurt:
    "I'd been friends with Rick Rubin for several years. He called me to ask how I'd feel if Johnny Cash covered Hurt. I said I'd be very flattered but was given no indication it would actually be recorded. The idea sounded a bit gimmicky. Two weeks went by. Then I got a CD in the post. I listened to it and it was very strange. It was this other person inhabiting my most personal song. I'd known where I was when I wrote it. I know what I was thinking about. I know how I felt. Hearing it was like someone kissing your girlfriend. It felt invasive".
    Johnny played this song over 100 times before he recorded it. He called it "The best anti-drug song I ever heard."
    The song was released as a single in 2003.
    "One Hour Photo" director Mark Romanek said:
    “I begged Rick Rubin to let me shoot something to that track” being instantly enamored of the rendition, he offered to shoot the video for free.
    Universal eventually agreed to the music video, but with 71-year-old Cash’s health declining and being unwilling to stay long in the cold Tennessee weather as he was going on holiday to his ranch in Jamaica that coming Saturday, Romanek had only days to make the video and after scouting in Nashville, he decided upon Cash’s home and museum in Hendersonville, Tennessee, The House of Cash.
    "Arriving on Friday with no idea of what I was going to make" Romanek said. "I looked around the house and made a few suggestions of where we might film Johnny performing. I was making it up off the top of my head. Then I went to the House of Cash Museum and found it in total disrepair. There was no time to clean it up so I decided that I'd just film it, and Johnny, exactly as they were. He was no longer in his prime - he was fading and that was what I wanted to show. The place was in such a state of dereliction. That’s when I got the idea that maybe we could be extremely candid about the state of Johnny’s health - as candid as Johnny has always been in his songs. While I was filming the opening segment of Johnny playing guitar in his living room, his wife, June, came down the stairs and watched. The look on her face was so complex: full of love and pride and concern for her husband. So I asked her if I could film her too and she agreed. But the most important element was when we discovered a film archive in the museum. When we looked back at the rushes we'd filmed at the house we thought they were good but not great. But once we dropped in the archive footage of Johnny we realized that was the soul of the video. The whole thing was so spontaneous. It's made me realize that sometimes you can be too prepared and that there's some value to urgency."
    The music video speaks about the transience of life, the gracelessness of death, the Ozymandian crumbling of an oeuvre and the decline of a genre, an era and an attitude. The ‘closed to public’ sign on the museum. The cracked platinum records. The caviar and lobster banquet with no diners. The clips from earlier in Johnny’s career. His wife June looking on. The closed piano lid.
    The video was so intimate that Cash's management didn't think it should be released, and Johnny was leaning in that direction. According to Rick Rubin, it was his daughter, Rosanne Cash, who convinced Johnny to let it go.
    June died May 15th, 2003, three months after filming, Johnny died September 12, 2003 four months after his wife.
    Rick Rubin said of the video:
    “I cried the first time I saw it. If you were moved to that kind of emotion in the course of a two-hour movie, it would be a great accomplishment. To do it in a four-minute music video is shocking. I think the hurt video is a historical document, it's like looking back across a life."
    Trent Reznor was sent the video while in the studio with Rage Against the Machine’s Zach De La Rocha, and, when the pair sat down to watch it, any doubts he had about the cover were long gone.
    “We were in the studio, getting ready to work and I popped it in,” said Reznor. "Tears started welling up. I realized it wasn't really my song anymore. It just gave me goose bumps up and down my spine. By the end I was really on the verge of tears…there was just dead silence. There was, like, this moist clearing of our throats and then, ‘Uh, okay, let’s get some coffee.' It really, really made sense and I thought what a powerful piece of art. I never got to meet Johnny but I'm happy I contributed the way I did. It felt like a warm hug. It's an unbelievably powerful piece of work. After he passed away I remember feeling saddened, but being honored to have framed the end of his life in something that is very tasteful. For anyone who hasn't seen it, I highly recommend checking it out. I have goose bumps right now thinking about it. Having Johnny Cash, one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time, want to cover your song, that's something that matters to me. It's not so much what other people think, but the fact that this guy felt that it was worthy of interpreting. "
    There will NEVER be another Johnny Cash, and there will NEVER be another video like this.
    A sad footnote to a sad story, Cash’s home of nearly 30 years in which the video was shot, burned down in 2007.""

    When I first heard about Cash covering a song by Trent, "I thought this is crazy, why would Cash even do this?" But as fate would have it I did watch the video, to make fun of it. But I didn't. When it got to the part of June looking down at him, I could see the pain & sadness in her eyes. She must have known she was dying. And that look of concern told me how will Cash go on without her there by his side. And then the simple act of closing his piano, for good, reminded me of a coffin being closed for the last time. Then tears ran down my cheeks and then I knew how very wrong I was.

    My first thought when I saw the alert for this video pop up was "Oh no! Rebecca is going to melt!" His wife June had come down the stairs to see if he was OK. Her look of concern was genuine. She passed not long after the shoot, before Johnny did a few months later. Sorry if this seems a bit morbid, but when Johnny closes the piano cover I originally had a feeling of Johnny closing his own musical casket.

But, the day of her funeral, when my family and I were following the hearse to the cemetery, as soon as we were passing by our house, this song started playing on my playlist.

Idk I’m not good with explaining feelings and such, but when this specific song played during that time, everything hit me like a truck. Time goes by in life, people change, people come, people go.

I know that he loved her with all his heart and probably couldn't live without her. I think that in this song you hear the voice of a man who knows he is near death. I think that might be part of the reason he did this song. This man was a great and good person and did many great things in his life and I think that for most of us when we reach a certain age, it is a bitter pill to swallow the realization that it will end.

Johnny spent nearly all his life as a larger-than-life figure and when he dropped this single it showed him as an old, broken down man and most importantly ... mortal. I don't know if the video was intended to chronicle his life or to show that death comes for us all no matter how rich or poor. It was sobering to say the least. I believe his wife, June Carter, passed away later that year and Cash followed not too far behind. I think the video leaves a lasting impression on all of us.

    Knowing abt Johnny Cash's life and hearing him sing this so mellow almost like he's reflecting on experience vs singing a cover is what makes this so damn powerful no matter how many times you hear it

    This song and especially this version has a tendency to make me quite melancholic and introspective. It also feels like it's poking me in my ribs and telling me to put more work in to being happy. It's difficult, but I'll keep on working on it.

      @@wordsonice8996 It so interesting how despite being the same exact lyrics in both, they seem to take on a meaning of their own depending on the singer. In Trent's case, he wrote it in a time when he struggled with issues like drug addiction and depression. In Cash's case it's more like a reflection on his life, particularly any wrong he's done to others.

Love this. Such a pure masterpiece Johnny leaves us with, and a poignant reminder to not waste a single day. Time is the real gold in this life. Love this, even though it "hurt" to watch.

      Ill take the latter option myself, sure shits dark but its also the most human themes about us, can respect that discussing heavy themes like mortality aint everyone's cup of tea but for folks like me, songs like these were real heartfelt, gave us alot of revelation too, taught us theres more to life then the value of a person or what they have to their name 😑

    Rebecca, thank you so much for covering this. Johnny's legacy was honored so well by Rick Rubin and Trent, which I never expected when I first learned of the project. I grew up as a child in the 70's with grandparents who taught me about his music, and it pained me greatly to see him in his decline. There will never be another. Thank you for giving this man the respect that he deserves. Cheers! xoxoxo

      That's pretty much the conclusion Trent came too. It just fits so well with Cash, and the video hammers it home. That said, it's also an amazing and somber track to end an album like NIN's the Downward Spiral which is all about a person path to self destruction.

    I miss Johnny... so much. My best friend growing up had me over a lot. Her dad was a huge Cash fan so I heard it all the time. I remember singing along to one of his songs with my dad who was also a Cash fan. My friend's parents are both gone now as is my dad, as is Johnny Cash. I can't listen to this without crying. I miss them all and the simple, wonderful life we had. I thank God for it. WE WERE BLESSED
