    Johnny lost his eldest brother in a tragic accidrmt as a child, his father blamed him for living. Johnny became an addict when he entered the music industry in his twenties, his wife June got him clean. It was a life long struggle. When Johnny knew June was dying, he recorded this song. He died a couple months after she passed. This was his song to June.

      You left out the part where he cheated on his first wife with June and then abandoned her and their children to go be with June. His first wife always gets over looked, but he hurt her more than anybody in his life. I'd like to think he was remorseful of that...

  • @DEEZNutsFFL

    The song is about causing pain. The regret of hurting the ones that you've loved and those that have loved you. Reznor wrote about his drug usage the pain and toll it took on those around him. Cash's interpretation was centered around his lifetime of trying to be the myth and the legend that was The Man in Black. Its the regret of the pain that he inflicted upon all that was dear to him on his journey. Cash chose success over family numerous times in his life. The strained relationship with his father. Leaving his wife and kids. Along with a list of others throughout his life. Cash tells you with conviction that he would trade it all for a chance to do it all over again to make amends for all the selfishness that was his life. Bono of U2 fame said "Trent was born to write that song, but Johnny was born to sing that song."

    For my money, the essential Johnny Cash song is the live version of Folsom Prison Blues. I’ve never been a country fan but Johnny has a special place on my play list. Edit: You had me revisit his discography....”God’s Going to Cut You Down” is the way to go for the channel.

In fact, Merle Haggard, another legendary country music singer was in prison when Johnny Cash came to play there. He decided to stay straight and pursue his musical career. Many musicians who do not sing country music were also huge fans of his. RIP Johnny Cash❤️😔

      @@SwaggyReacts He DID play this song prior to doing this video for his daughter. Sge said to him....it sounds like you are saying goodbye to us~he said YES I AM. When Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails saw tgus video and heard his verson. He said this is no longer MY song~it belongs TO Johnny now. The woman you see in the frame on the wall wearing the red shirt that is HIS WIFE'S MOTHER who had passed on years ago. He chose to put her photo in the video because over the years they hsd become very close. His wife has died soon after this video came out. Johnny actually WAS VERY ILL while producing this video. He had dealt with depression in his life. Also he has been an alcoholic and addicted to pills earlier in his career. He'd also some time in jail and did a song about it and went back and did a CONCERT inside of the prison years later. That's why you see the jail reference of the cell doors closing in the video. You REALLY need to watch the movie Walk The Line thats about his life. Walk The Line is a famous song but actually June Carter Cash had written it PRIOR to their marriage. As you can tell~I'm a long time fan of his. I'm probably one of your older people here cuz I'm an older biker lady in my mid 50s. So I grew up listening to a lotta different music but I REALLY loved his music a lot. I felt connected to a lot of his story in a way. I've dealt with jails & prisons since I'M 15. IT'S A LONG STORY & not for here but luckily I managed to never do time on 3 felonies. Two would've put me onto death row~IF I didn't have friends thankfully. NOW I'm an international prisoner advocate for OVER 35 YRS. I deal with every level of the system from my juveys to my folks on death row. I'm also clean now from ALL illegal drugs~FOR 19 YEARS. So yeah...I totally related to his same struggles in life. He was a TRULY great artist and SO was his wife June. People say that his multiple diseases killed him. But honestly it is the truth that after your partner youve been with for decades leaves you...they say you die OF a broken heart. I REALLY DO believe that in part that is what happened here. It happens a lot with elderly people, they don't even make it through the first year after the loss of their spouses. Johnny did not even make it 6 months without June. Anyway PLEASE watch the movie cuz it's great and you'll learn to appreciate a lot more of his music AND get to see how some of the industry worked back then also. Peace love and good music always 😉❤😎🤘

    Trent Reznor, of NIN did indeed write this. He wrote about a young man hooked on the needle watching his life spiral out of control. Johnny made the song about an old man realizing everything he accumulated throughout his life was just dirt, dust at the end of things, worth less than nothing.
    Don't mistake things for what's really valuable in life. If you let the people that you love go, they will. Being alone sucks, especially at the end.
    His wife, the lady on the stairs, died 3 months after this video was made. 4 months after that, Johnny joined her in the endless sleep. The pic on the wall is his mom.

    This song is very personal for me, really tugs at my soul. This was one of my mom's favorite songs and spoke too true to her life experience in her later years. She died earlier this year followed shortly thereafter by my step dad and I am still currently struggling greatly both emotionally and financially.
    My mom born in 1947 and was from a rural farming background and came to the SF East Bay area with her family (her dad was a machinist) at around age 7. She was the oldest of 6 in a very disfunctional and abusive but also loving family. Yes I said both abusive and loving, definitely full of mental illness. If you think that's not possible and don't understand then please keep it to yourself!
    She was an original hippy who was an artist and sometimes modal and eventual part time math coach who was in some art shows but never found much success in life, and experienced a lot of painful loss and then long term disability. My mom was too often abused (as were her siblings) as a child by mentally ill parents who also went out of their way to help her pursue own passions, and knowing them I am convinced also truly loved her. My mom was later badly hurt by many in life including I am ashamed to say myself at times, but also badly hurt a few people she loved herself as well, lived a life of too much pain and poverty but also beauty, gardening, adventure, art and poetry, and also loved and cared very deeply for many and was deeply loved by many, helped many, helped to save some, and had an angelic beautiful heart. Most of those she knew and loved deeply died prematurely and most of the rest passed as well in the years before she finally died at the age of 75.
    My mom's ex husband (they divorced when I was 3) whom she remained friends with even after he eventually re-married and who helped raise me after my dad left when I was 7, was a letter carrier and old soul, loyal and kind, mostly quite but passionate with a it to say when he wanted to and felt the need, adventurer and independent thinker, non commercially successful artist, and original thinker and original SF State Drop-out Hippy like my mom. He died later the same month as her, age 75 as well. R.I.P. to them and to Johnny!

    I've been watching quite a few of these "Hurt" reactions and they are so very similar in their effect on the listener. This song forces the
    listener to think about things they usually are trying NOT to think about because it's driving the deep questions right into the heart of
    those hearing it. Meaning "Why are we here?" "Where am I going?" "How should I be living?" What have I been living for and how?" "What is
    really Important in life?". Then when they are done it's so often silence and difficulty describing what they are thinking or feeling. "Hurt" is an "Anointed" song and Johnny's video especially.

    Your reaction was so pure and genuine💗....and that's how almost everyone reactions to this masterpiece the amazing Johnny Cash gave us before his death. He conveyed such emotion through his voice and the visuals combined, a rare and hauntingly beautiful talent.....I still cry every time i watch this.
    He is still 'The Man In Black' and always will be. R.I.P. 💗

    This song is about regret. Johnny was a Christian and he knew he was forgiven. He also knew he had hurt people in the past because of his addiction and bad choices. He was one of the wild men of country music.

    that was his wife on the stairs she wasn't supposed to be in the video but when she was caught on it they left her in. He had a ruff life and in his younger days did some ruff things but she came along and changed his life. She was his angel and she died just days after this video was made he died months later. Some do say that he died of a broken heart.

    First time watching (SUBSCRIBED). Johnny Cash was a household name thru good & bad moments. This is a cover by Nine Inch Nails. He lived a full artistic life. Married to June Carter-Cash. June was from the famous music Carter family [Appalatia USA] They lost a child then both of their moms, they continued to perform until he became "unrelateable" in music industry after over 50 years. The "old" woman in photo on the wall was his beloved mother. His dear wife is in the porch rocking chair, June passed away after this video was released and then Johnny joined her shortly after her due to complications from diabetes.

    It's almost impossible to describe just how big of a Super Star Johnny Cash was. Country Music Star, Pop Music Star and Gospel Music Star, along with being a Movie Star. BUT, you have it right... all that in the end was worth nothing to him. In spite of all that Stardom, he was an alcoholic, drug addict, spent time in jail and beat his wife so he was all too human. The flashback clips don't come near to showing how big he was or show how much emotional pain he was in for most of his life. Thank You for your reaction!! I'm wondering if this one song will have more impact on more people than all his other music combined because here, he's teaching of so much about life...

    The first picture was his mom who ran the Cash museum. She died and it closed down to what you saw in that video. The other pictures are of his wife who is also on that stairs behind him. This video came out in 2002. If wife saw is shortly when it was done and died a few months later in 2003 and he died a few months after that in 2003. The white house was his childhood home where his young brother died. That his going back after getting out of prison. Far as I know this was the last time he was in front of the camera and last was the last time he ever opened up that piano.

    when you know she died just after this video was finished and he died not long after, you understand why grown men always cry at this. the song was about drugs, cash had his issues with booze etc but anyone of that age will have health problems and the needles then come from medicines and kemo, diabetes, etc age makes strong men become weak and some can't handle it very well.

    of the lived 2005 I worked for his doctor, that man was humble.. he knew he was going like a gladiator, I was too young to know who he was he told me I was exotic at one time yes about the needle bury it was alcohol. It was the liver. He was so charming. I wish you could have spoke to him he had knowledge

    This is a reference to the fact that when/if you come out of addiction, you are at the same level of maturity as when you started -- even if decades have gone by.
    The people you know who aren't addicts mature and change and go on with their lives while you're trapped where you were when you took that first drink/hit/snort.

    He had diabetes. So that is where the “needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting” is in reference to having to take insulin shots all day, every day. But in the nine inch nails version of the song it is in reference to shooting heroine.
