This song no matter who sings it is a reflection of what I have been going through in my recovery and letting go of the people who never really cared about me. It hurts, but it was necessary for my mental health. Thank you for being real.
I love this song. It's strangely the first music video I heard after arriving in Japan. I didn't like the original but I love the johnny Cash version. His older voice fills it with a greater depth.
Your Reaction Was My Reaction When When I First Saw This Video It Was Very Sad But Very Fitting For Johnny He Got To Say His Goodbye With June, I Love This Video It's So Deep & Honest, I've Seen A Lot Of Reactions To This Video But I Can Honestly Say You Had The Most Emotional & Impactful Reaction Of All. You Are A Good Person!
Try the studio version of Dylan's 'knocking on heaven's door'. Also... 'Higher Love' by Steve Winwood. Also... Any of Celine Dion's top songs. She can sing like no other. Literally... Also... 'Mister Bojangles' by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band... 'In the Air Tonight' by Phill Collins... None of them are 'moving' like 'Hurt', but some are pretty and you might like them. Thanks also for your video on the Star Spangled Banner. Thank you for becoming a citizen and loving our country and its freedom. And thank you for your beautiful reaction 'Hurt' by poor Johnny Cash.
Johnny lived a life. He did great things and he made bad mistakes. What you hear in his voice during this song can't be faked. It's the sound of experience that only comes with time. Experience is, as Oscar Wilde said, one thing you can't get for nothing.
The amazing thing is to consider that at this age Johnny's voice has deteriorated from its greatness. He is just quietly singing without any embellishments in a narrow vocal range and still produces one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard.
Yeah the emotion in his voice is so visceral, and you can hear the changes age has made to his once more perfect voice, but the imperfections only make the song better. This song has so many damn layers its insane
@@soulsnatcher5408 Can't believe it was that long ago, the emotional part is that this was filmed in February 2003, June Died in May and he followed her in September
To me this is the most important musical recording in American history. A once in a lifetime song written by a once in a lifetime songwriter and then covered by a once in a lifetime artist at the end of his life.
"Hurt" was originally a Nine Inch Nails song, written by Trent Reznor for the band's second studio album, The Downward Spiral (1994). When Johnny Cash first asked Reznor for permission to cover the song, Reznor was flattered and ultimately gave his approval, but he had concerns that the idea "sounded a bit gimmicky." those concerns were put to rest, however, when Reznor saw the music video for Cash's cover of the song, at which point Reznor became a big fan of Cash's cover. In Reznor's words: "I pop the video in, and wow... Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore... It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning -- different, but every bit as pure."
JOHNNY CASH CAN MAKE A ROUGH DIAMOND INTO A SHINING PEARL AND A GLITTERING WONDERFUL GEM STONE ...HE HAS DONE THAT WITH OTHER SONGS TOO.... IT IS PART OF HIS MUSICAL TALENTS.... RIP JOHNNY...
The fact a song about drug abuse and depression could be completely changed into a song about reflection and regret without changing a word... ...is amazing on its own.
Never apologize for letting the music hit you like that. I'm almost 60, and Johnny hits my heart just the same with this one. I've tried to teach my kids "we honor our tears" - tears just mean you're letting yourself feel the world for real. Thanks for sharing with all of us out here on the internet.
@R Etset its made its rounds over there in Russia an its just as Melancholic. Thought you'd like to give it a listen ol timer ua-cam.com/video/WDhaOEF6IXg/v-deo.html
@@RussianReactionReviews as a Southern guy and a big Johnny Cash fan…I cry every time I hear this song…God bless you girl 🙏🙏🙏 especially with all the crap we are living with in our current day and time…peace.
Don't be sorry for crying. I have listened to this song at least 1000 times and I still break down and cry. The deepness is all out in the open. And as you learn more about the song and the filming and everything with this video it just gets deeper and even more tear pulling. Johnny was a master and this in his masterpiece above all of his other masterpieces.
Your reaction is about on par with mine, I can't watch it without tearing up, 12 years of addiction, regret, broken relationships and self hatred. I'm a year sober now and doing better, but it still hits like a truck. Really makes you appreciate what you have though.
Thanks everyone for the kind comments :) still a lot of issues to work on, mental health and finding true peace is a never ending battle, but still sober (almost a year and 5 months) , currently sitting outside playing guitar with a sun shower after a workout and finishing an assessment :) pleasure in the small things, practise gratitude everyone. And if anyone out there is struggling with addiction! You got this, I know every day it's a nightmare but do not give up, there truly is light at the end, even if it takes years, every day you get up and try is a success! Keep striving to be a little better every day
He became a true country star recognized wherever he performed. He made millions and won countless awards. Near the end of his life, it was all dirt and the only thing that mattered was the relationships of his life. But one by one, everyone he loved died and as an old man, there was just his wife and himself. He was tired of living and took this lyrics about someone suffering through drug addiction and made it look as if he wrote it about his life and regrets. At the end of the video, he closed the piano and lovingly caressed a symbol of his music. He never touched piano or guitar. Three months after the song was released, his wife passed and he was truly alone. Seven months later, he joined her in heaven.
I cry my ass off every..single..time I hear this. Johnny was a hell of a man, reminds me of loss, regret, and life experience. He was a drug addict back in the day and so I was I so I get the regret, but he prevailed and went on to be one of the best human that ever lived. Thank you for this
A man between heaven and hell anguish by his past,hoping for forgiveness.The Pain of addiction and now sobriety reflecting back on what once with tremendous regret..
Though this song is very sad and it can be hard to comprehend the weight of it, Johnny Cash left us in the best way possible. He had a very successful career and left us with this extremely powerful swan song that will guarantee that his legacy is never forgotten. I don’t know many artists that had the opportunity to say goodbye in such an honest and heartfelt way. David Bowie with Lazarus is another good example.
Life is hard. We all have weaknesses, we all have insecurities, we all make mistakes. Johnny gave us this song as a reflection on his own life, where he confronted the fact that his past was far from perfect, but he also showed in the imagery of Christ that he believed there is life after death. He believed in mercy, in repentance, and in forgiveness, although it's hard to feel those sometimes when we're in the midst of trials and sin. I'm so glad Johnny covered this song as one of the last songs he ever sung, and to you for reacting to it honestly and openly. Never take for granted those around you.
Wow. I have listened to Mr Cash sing this (and other songs with deep meaning) many times in my seven decades but it is always so great to see and hear how it effects someone else. I really enjoy watching reactions from creators who are real, like this young lady. I appreciate the raw emotion and feelings that were expressed here. Thank you for this. I wish good health, happiness and all the very best to you and your families!
The part about trying to kill your memories but you still remember everything. Years in the military I can relate so much to this. I just want to forget, but I learned to live with the memories.
it always gets me when he touches the piano at the end. I've seen so many people near the end of their life do that. That tactile sensation means so much to our understanding of being part of the world
I love this song and I have never come close to feeling emotional while listening to it. I gotta be honest Irina, I got a little teary-eyed seeing you cry during this reaction.
Hello Irina. I have seen this video and heard this song a few times. Today was the first time I almost cried because you started crying. I don’t like to see you cry but I know you have a sensitive soul. Don’t change.
You are the most beautiful young lady I've ever seen, and the fact that you are so moved by the pain in this song only makes you more beautiful as a human being. Thank you.
That was a sweet heartfelt reaction. Johnny Cash sang many songs about God and though he battled many sins in his life he believed the old saying that “Only one life, it will soon be passed, only what’s done for Christ will last.“
He took this song which was already amazing and turned it into a goodbye that outshone the sun. Nobody is ever going to cover this song again knowing what they'd be compared with.
Johnny is a true legend and icon. I love his Hurt cover because it makes me reflect on my life, and all the pain that I've experienced. And my heart can't stop breaking when I hear it. RIP Johnny Cash.
Irina, you never have to apologize for showing such deep feelings. The woman in many of the photos in this video are of his wife June Carter Cash. He lost her not long before he himself passed away. This was likely one of his last songs and I know that the loss of his wife June (his soulmate if there ever was such a thing as a soulmate) made this song even more meaningful to him and that is why he was able to put so much emotion into it. He would gladly have given away everything he owned to have her back. Love your videos and I am sure that I speak for many people here, we are glad you have come over to the USA and we hope you learn to love it here as much as we love having you here.
This song was originally from the band nine inch nails but johnny cash did it and the lead singer absolutely loved Johnny's version more so he gave the song to johnny. Please don't apologize, it is perfectly ok to feel the music and cry. This is why i love watching your reactions to music! You feel the music and what the lyrics mean. You are absolutely AMAZING irina ❤
It was interesting to see how the song really got to you. Music can be powerful. When he closed the piano cover, it was almost like he was closing his own coffin. He lived a fascinating life and has lots of other songs worth reacting to. Picking out a light-hearted Johnny Cash song might be a good idea to balance this one out. A Boy Named Sue is a great light-hearted song.
never apologize for crying, especially over such an emotional song like this. johnny cash made this song his, and the video really covered so much of his life, his experiences, and his belief. im a huge fan of johnny cash, and have loved his music for years. this song, no matter how many times i hear it, or watch this video, i cry.
I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan, & I loved your reaction. Never be sorry for your tears my dear. Especially with this one. If you really want to have a better idea about this song, watch "Walk the Line". It's pretty accurate (embellishments are at a minimum) to Johnny's life. Would take some editing because of copyright, but makes this song so much deeper for his life. Some background on this song though. The video was recorded in Feb 2003. June Carter Cash (in the video on the stairs) passed away in May 2003, shortly after this video's release. Johnny passed away in Sept 2003, this was his last recorded music video. While Trent Reznor wrote the song with heroin addiction for the lyrics ("the needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting"), Johnny had been an addict to (primarily) methamphetamines & alcohol.
One of his children asked Johnny if he is saying goodbye in this song. Johnny replied, yes! This video was recorded in February of 2003. His wife, June Carter Cash shown here died in May of 2003. As you see here, Johnny is frail condition. From being ill and heartbroken by losing his wife, Johnny died in September of 2003.
I am sorry for your loss. I know, sounds hollow. I lost my dad recently, my mom a couple years before. All I can say is keep up the fight. We are all here for a reason, even if loved ones are not with us anymore.
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. I didn't know of this song till a couple years ago, it's probably Johnny's best. Songs like this (and others such as "Comfortably Numb" or "Time") have more meaning the older you get. And if someone doesn't cry watching this, they probably don't have a heart or a soul.
@@RussianReactionReviews my pleasure - thanks for bearing your soul, too. Just curious - do you know of the Russian group "Leonid & Friends" ? They are amazing, doing cover versions of songs by Chicago, Steely Dan, etc.
@@RussianReactionReviews great - and thanks for responding back! they toured near me a couple months ago (East Coast, US), but I was so busy that I couldn't go - try these two songs: ua-cam.com/video/P_8aZZ9d_EA/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/HQdoD0R9d1w/v-deo.html
I have seen many reactions to this song. Yours really struck me as genuine and deep. I loved Johnny Cash as a child. It was so sad to see him go with so much regret..
I know I had the same reaction as you did. His wife died a couple of months after this. She was encouraging him to get as much done as he could with the songs because she knew he didn't have much time. When Roseanne Cash, his daughter saw this video, she told him, "It sounds like goodbye." He answered her with "It is". He died just a few months after his wife did. Right now I'm at the same age as Johnny Cash when he did this song. I've lost my husband to cancer. Regrets are so difficult to deal with. If only may be the saddest phrase in English.
IKR? Thats why I take his version over the original. Reznor was like 26 when he wrote it so its just a young guy with his life beofre him while Cash's cover is exactly what you said.
Beautiful reaction Irina, Johnny Cash is timeless, he can transcend his own genre. This song is awe inspiring to say the least. You’d love The Sound of Silence by Disturbed if you haven’t seen the UA-cam video already. It’s a song originally sung by Paul Simon. He completely nails it and goes beyond his genre, metal.
Great reaction ; the only country singer I have any respect for . This song is sung the way I feel many times as a depression and suicide survivor , he sings it like his being is dying and that ability is talent Beautiful Irina
I can tell you really have a hart. In a world that's lacking this it good to see this . Johny was truly one of a kind.a great man and artist. I'm new to you but I see your a real human .
Johnny Cash was. A Great Country Music legend, one of the great songwriters of our generation, although this a cover of the Nine Inch Nails song. This was his last song just before he passed away. Your reaction was honest and real which makes this a very good video. Keep up the good work!!!😎👍👍👍
Heard this song many, many times, but it's the video that hits the hardest. I'll be 60 in a couple days, and I'm not ashamed to say your tears triggered (more of) my own. Your reaction was natural and quite endearing.
I always say Trent Reznor was meant to write this song and Johnny Cash was meant to sing it. The original version by Nine Inch Nails is great. This video is so powerful because this was his last one. His wife June was worried and came down to check on him. That was her in the video. She passed shortly after this video was made and he passed not long after.
Video was recorded in February of 2003. Then June died in May of 2003. Then Johnny died in September of 2003. One of their children asked him, is he saying goodbye in this song. Johnny replied back, Yes.
Sometimes that happens to soulmates particular if they have been together most of their lives. When my Grandmother died in 98, my Grandfather died a month later. When my Auntie died at 75, her husband died 3 weeks later. Quite simply people can die from a broken heart, as some bereaved partner lose the will to live.
Thank you so much for your kind comments I really appreciate your content and the person you are keep doing what you're doing you are so amazing have a great day
He made this song his. Powerful cover. Inevitably, anybody will shed some tears. His interpretation of this song it's like a hauntingly, beautiful and melancholic horizon.
Reflections from an older guy, this song isn't about rich or poor, black or white, culture, or nationality, it is an honest look at a life. I'm going to ask my children to play this at my funeral someday. Some will ask, why don't I want a religious song, I will tell them THIS IS A Religious SONG!
This song never fails to make me cry. It was playing on a radio; as soon as I learned about my Maternal Grandfather's death from Coronavirus; on 21st January 2021 aged 92. Rest In Peace Grandpa Leslie (20/09/1928 - 21/01/2021) then a week later my Maternal Grandmother Irene died (10/11/1926 - 28/01/2021) she was 94. My heart is permanently broken
This might be the most raw, real and sincere performance I’ve ever heard. The music is so simple and sparse but it just magnifies the emotion in his voice. This is just stunningly beautiful
What’s great about this song is it transcends religions, languages and cultures. I’ve seen people from every corner of the Earth cry when they hear and understand this song. That’s why Trent Reznor (the original artist) basically gave this song to Johnny Cash and said it was his song now. A literal work of art that will outlive time.
Maybe the most impactful reaction I have seen to this. The emotion you showed within just the first few bars really feels like you let yourself get pulled fully in to the song's heart.
Johnny Cash did a fantastic job of summing up his life, career, and love for his soulmate with this one song. Your reaction shows the world what a beautiful soul you are.

Check out the movie Walk The Line its the story of Jonny Cash's life. It's actually an incredible movie.
Try the studio version of Dylan's 'knocking on heaven's door'. Also...
'Higher Love' by Steve Winwood. Also...

'Mister Bojangles' by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band...
'In the Air Tonight' by Phill Collins...
None of them are 'moving' like 'Hurt', but some are pretty and you might like them.

and it doesnt cost a penny
And to think it's just a cover too
Yeah the emotion in his voice is so visceral, and you can hear the changes age has made to his once more perfect voice, but the imperfections only make the song better. This song has so many damn layers its insane
you can say that again this song is meaningful
How can anyone NOT cry to this? Don’t feel embarrassed, it just shows you have a heart - many do not.
Amen....
When I first saw this video I cried, and still do all these years later.
Facts
It made me cry when it first came out and I have cried every time I've heard or seen it since then.
Can’t believe he’s been gone almost 20 years now, but his music will never die
It’s a good thing it’s good to share it , I enjoyed it
@@RussianReactionReviews So amazing, thank you so much.
It will eventually. Everyone forgets you eventually. That's another sad thing. Eventually through time no one will ever know you existed.
@@soulsnatcher5408 Can't believe it was that long ago, the emotional part is that this was filmed in February 2003, June Died in May and he followed her in September
Shoutout to Rick Rueben the producer who chose this song for Johnny .
To me this is the most important musical recording in American history. A once in a lifetime song written by a once in a lifetime songwriter and then covered by a once in a lifetime artist at the end of his life.
I agree, the greatest music video of all time.
Absolutely! it's a clear message...money doesn't buy you happiness,it's all the other things that matter.
Calm down
can't disagree with you and I have played with many of the greats in huge orchestras, but nothing as deep as this.
Nine inch nails wrote and performed the original of this song but johnny cash just sang it better
"Hurt" was originally a Nine Inch Nails song, written by Trent Reznor for the band's second studio album, The Downward Spiral (1994).
When Johnny Cash first asked Reznor for permission to cover the song, Reznor was flattered and ultimately gave his approval, but he had concerns that the idea "sounded a bit gimmicky." those concerns were put to rest, however, when Reznor saw the music video for Cash's cover of the song, at which point Reznor became a big fan of Cash's cover.
In Reznor's words: "I pop the video in, and wow... Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore... It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning -- different, but every bit as pure."
JOHNNY CASH CAN MAKE A ROUGH DIAMOND INTO A SHINING PEARL AND A GLITTERING WONDERFUL GEM STONE ...HE HAS DONE THAT WITH OTHER SONGS TOO.... IT IS PART OF HIS MUSICAL TALENTS.... RIP JOHNNY...
I CAN UNERSTAND WHAT TRENT IS FEELING...ACTUALLY JOHNNY SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN THIS SONG...
🥺
@Ninjin13 JOHNNY CASH BECAME EVEN BETTER WHEN HE GETS OLDER....
@Ninjin13 WHO SAYS SO ? HE LIVES IN HEAVEN...
The fact a song about drug abuse and depression could be completely changed into a song about reflection and regret without changing a word...

Love your videos and I am sure that I speak for many people here, we are glad you have come over to the USA and we hope you learn to love it here as much as we love having you here.
You are not alone. This song brings tears to my eyes everytime. You can feel his pain
Beautiful song
This song was originally from the band nine inch nails but johnny cash did it and the lead singer absolutely loved Johnny's version more so he gave the song to johnny. Please don't apologize, it is perfectly ok to feel the music and cry. This is why i love watching your reactions to music! You feel the music and what the lyrics mean. You are absolutely AMAZING irina ❤
It was interesting to see how the song really got to you. Music can be powerful. When he closed the piano cover, it was almost like he was closing his own coffin. He lived a fascinating life and has lots of other songs worth reacting to. Picking out a light-hearted Johnny Cash song might be a good idea to balance this one out. A Boy Named Sue is a great light-hearted song.
I understand your reaction. I felt the same way.
We all lost something with the loss of Johnny Cash, and his last song.
You're a very sweet woman and I hope you get to see your parents again soon. It's a very hard thing to be separated from family like that.
🙏🏻🤍🕊️✝️
Your emotions are what it is to be human, Johnny was saying goodbye to us all with this song. God bless him his wife June and his family.
never apologize for crying, especially over such an emotional song like this. johnny cash made this song his, and the video really covered so much of his life, his experiences, and his belief. im a huge fan of johnny cash, and have loved his music for years. this song, no matter how many times i hear it, or watch this video, i cry.
Thank you so much and thank you for taking the time to watch with me
I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan, & I loved your reaction. Never be sorry for your tears my dear. Especially with this one. If you really want to have a better idea about this song, watch "Walk the Line". It's pretty accurate (embellishments are at a minimum) to Johnny's life. Would take some editing because of copyright, but makes this song so much deeper for his life.
Some background on this song though. The video was recorded in Feb 2003. June Carter Cash (in the video on the stairs) passed away in May 2003, shortly after this video's release. Johnny passed away in Sept 2003, this was his last recorded music video. While Trent Reznor wrote the song with heroin addiction for the lyrics ("the needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting"), Johnny had been an addict to (primarily) methamphetamines & alcohol.
Thank you for the background and for the kind words
Thank you for this. I can't cry anymore. It's cathartic watching you feel emotion.
thank you for watching and commenting
This song always brings tears of sadness, but sometimes we need that.
One of his children asked Johnny if he is saying goodbye in this song. Johnny replied, yes! This video was recorded in February of 2003. His wife, June Carter Cash shown here died in May of 2003. As you see here, Johnny is frail condition. From being ill and heartbroken by losing his wife, Johnny died in September of 2003.
wow thats really touching
Dont apoligize for crying. Its very very sad. Him and his wife passed not long after this. It was like he was saying goodbye
Do not be sorry. Your reaction was as beautiful as you are.
I have no one next to me I lost my wife to cancer in 2015 she fought for 9years and passed at 47
I am sorry for your loss. I know, sounds hollow.
I lost my dad recently, my mom a couple years before.
All I can say is keep up the fight.
We are all here for a reason, even if loved ones are not with us anymore.
Yeah my wig in 2015 my mom in 2016 and dad in 2018 ten days before my birthday
You had the most authentic reaction and you know that this song was about
I remember hearing this song when it first came out. I was in high school and it hit me unexpectedly 😪 great song!!
its beautiful
Cash was the absolute master of song craft story telling and emotion the world lost a great sage when he died
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. I didn't know of this song till a couple years ago, it's probably Johnny's best. Songs like this (and others such as "Comfortably Numb" or "Time") have more meaning the older you get. And if someone doesn't cry watching this, they probably don't have a heart or a soul.
Ty for watching with me.
Very touching song to watch
@@RussianReactionReviews my pleasure - thanks for bearing your soul, too. Just curious - do you know of the Russian group "Leonid & Friends" ? They are amazing, doing cover versions of songs by Chicago, Steely Dan, etc.
Hmm i don’t think so I will have to check them out
@@RussianReactionReviews great - and thanks for responding back! they toured near me a couple months ago (East Coast, US), but I was so busy that I couldn't go - try these two songs: ua-cam.com/video/P_8aZZ9d_EA/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/HQdoD0R9d1w/v-deo.html
Thank you Charleston
At the time of Johnny's passing, The song Hurt and the Video we're No 1 through out the land . What a way to go on Top .
I have seen many reactions to this song. Yours really struck me as genuine and deep. I loved Johnny Cash as a child. It was so sad to see him go with so much regret..
I know I had the same reaction as you did. His wife died a couple of months after this. She was encouraging him to get as much done as he could with the songs because she knew he didn't have much time. When Roseanne Cash, his daughter saw this video, she told him, "It sounds like goodbye." He answered her with "It is". He died just a few months after his wife did. Right now I'm at the same age as Johnny Cash when he did this song. I've lost my husband to cancer. Regrets are so difficult to deal with. If only may be the saddest phrase in English.
IKR? Thats why I take his version over the original. Reznor was like 26 when he wrote it so its just a young guy with his life beofre him while Cash's cover is exactly what you said.
Beautiful reaction Irina, Johnny Cash is timeless, he can transcend his own genre. This song is awe inspiring to say the least. You’d love The Sound of Silence by Disturbed if you haven’t seen the UA-cam video already. It’s a song originally sung by Paul Simon. He completely nails it and goes beyond his genre, metal.
I see a few comments on here about it I will have to check it out
It's auto tuned bombastic bullshit.
After dozens and dozens and dozens of reviews, I think that you provide the best response and respect to Johnny and his intent.
Great reaction ; the only country singer I have any respect for . This song is sung the way I feel many times as a depression and suicide survivor , he sings it like his being is dying and that ability is talent
Beautiful Irina
It made my cry year's ago... and again tonight.. Knowing who he is makes it even deeper!! Thanks!
This song always gonna stay i my heart.. Thank you for watching, I appreciate tha
The is the most accurate reaction to this song possible..
I can tell you really have a hart. In a world that's lacking this it good to see this . Johny was truly one of a kind.a great man and artist. I'm new to you but I see your a real human .
Johnny Cash was. A Great Country Music legend, one of the great songwriters of our generation, although this a cover of the Nine Inch Nails song. This was his last song just before he passed away. Your reaction was honest and real which makes this a very good video. Keep up the good work!!!😎👍👍👍
Thank you Paul
Ahhhhh, you're 30 seconds in and have already cried and it's fantasic. You varify so many feelings that people have for this song.
The greatest Men in Black… we will never forget you Johnny
Heard this song many, many times, but it's the video that hits the hardest. I'll be 60 in a couple days, and I'm not ashamed to say your tears triggered (more of) my own. Your reaction was natural and quite endearing.
aww,, thank you for sharing that, thank you for watching with me,,, wishing you a healthy happy birthday and many more
I always say Trent Reznor was meant to write this song and Johnny Cash was meant to sing it. The original version by Nine Inch Nails is great.
This video is so powerful because this was his last one. His wife June was worried and came down to check on him. That was her in the video. She passed shortly after this video was made and he passed not long after.
Video was recorded in February of 2003. Then June died in May of 2003. Then Johnny died in September of 2003. One of their children asked him, is he saying goodbye in this song.
Johnny replied back, Yes.
Sometimes that happens to soulmates particular if they have been together most of their lives. When my Grandmother died in 98, my Grandfather died a month later. When my Auntie died at 75, her husband died 3 weeks later. Quite simply people can die from a broken heart, as some bereaved partner lose the will to live.
Johnny Cash is the most genuine artist that I can think of. His heart is on his sleeve.
Thank you so much for your kind comments I really appreciate your content and the person you are keep doing what you're doing you are so amazing have a great day
He made this song his. Powerful cover. Inevitably, anybody will shed some tears. His interpretation of this song it's like a hauntingly, beautiful and melancholic horizon.
Well said Juan
Every verse was a dagger in this beautiful young lady’s heart 😢
it getting deep for me
This song makes a tear roll down my cheek i feel his personal pain and grief in a song that is played beautifully
This song gets to me every time I hear it… His voice is everything…His life…
Nine Inch Nails version is the original version... and the best version.
I like Johnny, but hate his cover of this song.
To each their own but I think most people are going to disagree with you on this one
@@UA-camWatcher9000 +1
Reflections from an older guy, this song isn't about rich or poor, black or white, culture, or nationality, it is an honest look at a life. I'm going to ask my children to play this at my funeral someday. Some will ask, why don't I want a religious song, I will tell them THIS IS A Religious SONG!
Listen to the original by NIN (Trent Reznor) he wrote it
This cover by Cash is trash!
The power of music. Is there anything better? I think not.
Don't be sorry for showing your emotion, it shows you're a beautiful human being. R.I.P. Johnny Cash, such a musical legend.
This song never fails to make me cry. It was playing on a radio; as soon as I learned about my Maternal Grandfather's death from Coronavirus; on 21st January 2021 aged 92. Rest In Peace Grandpa Leslie (20/09/1928 - 21/01/2021) then a week later my Maternal Grandmother Irene died (10/11/1926 - 28/01/2021) she was 94. My heart is permanently broken
Your tender heart is heartwarming...
Thank you for being a person who has so much empathy...
thank you so much
I sang and played this song on my fathers funeral 2002.. me being 21 years old. This is so special
This might be the most raw, real and sincere performance I’ve ever heard. The music is so simple and sparse but it just magnifies the emotion in his voice. This is just stunningly beautiful
it's a song about life and it touche a lot of people because we recognize ourselves in this song . Thank you Johnny
You are a real human being, the best kind .
What’s great about this song is it transcends religions, languages and cultures. I’ve seen people from every corner of the Earth cry when they hear and understand this song. That’s why Trent Reznor (the original artist) basically gave this song to Johnny Cash and said it was his song now. A literal work of art that will outlive time.
Maybe the most impactful reaction I have seen to this. The emotion you showed within just the first few bars really feels like you let yourself get pulled fully in to the song's heart.
Johnny Cash did a fantastic job of summing up his life, career, and love for his soulmate with this one song. Your reaction shows the world what a beautiful soul you are.
I love how much Johny loves everyone..and you he's everyone hearts.❤
Brilliant song and don't worry about it....... every time I see that video it rips my guts out also.
That chorus gets me every damn time, just the build up to it is so powerful.
Never apologize for showing emotion. When words can make you feel ways like that. It means they touched you. And that’s a good thing.
Watched this video many times and never turned it off without a tearful reaction.
That was beautiful to see. Not just the video or the song, but the way it reached your heart and touched you. God bless you.
52 year old man here, this song always makes me cry. ✌️
A very resl song by a person that lived it. And you are beautiful when you cry means you have a heart, and a kind soul
Thank you Eddie
He called himself the man in black. But in the end he loved God. Your tender heart is so beautiful. Looks will fade but your good spirit will remain.
You are a beautiful young lady, i am a old man, this song brings tears to my eyes every time i hear it.
It’s a beautiful sad song. Johnny Cash lived a rough life. I love your reaction. My eyes get watery every time I watch this video.
This is the greatest reaction of all... She is the only one that has truly understood the gravitas of this video
