When Johnny played this for his daughter; she told him that it sounded like he was saying goodbye. His reply; I am...
God, what a heartbreaking story. 💔
It's very sad that he sad that, yet amazing that he pretty much knew he was dying.
The only that kept Johnny fighting to stay alive was his friend Waylon and his wife June. Waylon died February 13 2002 and June died May 15 2003. He then gave up and died September 12 2003
Just for a little more detail, she said that she didn't like it because it sounded like he was saying goodbye.
I think that was specifically in reference to the closing of the piano lid, not 100% on that though.
Incredible song. The way he closes the piano lid and caresses it like he is saying goodbye is super poignant to me and always gets me.
Same
I was beginning to think I was the only one that noticed/felt that. I've seen 100 reactions to this, and not one has ever commented on that.
@@saturnracer156 I have seen a few reactors comment on it but it happens rarely. Some you can see them stop the video a few seconds before it so they don’t even see it.
Roseanne, his daughter, says he never opened it again. He really was saying goodbye.
Guts me every time.
It's like he's closing a coffin lid.
I keep forgetting this is a Trent Reznor song...
The Man in Black truly made it his own
Trent even said it belongs to Johnny Cash
Trent said that this is johnnys song now, and that has to be one of the best compliments you can get from someone for doing a cover, btw that was June in the video, they had both passed away soon after this video was released, I also remember hearing an interview with one of his kids and when they listened to it they said ‘dad it sounds like you’re saying good bye’ he said ‘i am’
I read that Trent Reznor heard Johnny Cash's version and didn't think much of it but when he watched the video, that's when it hit him and when he said that this is his song now.
@@Sadlander2 I can see that, it's a good cover but the video completely reframes it.
@@Sadlander2True, I also tell people this as well when they mention Trent’s feelings on it. It’s the video that sells it.
They say Johnny Cash died of a broken heart. He couldn’t live without his beloved June Carter.
Broken Heart Syndrome is real
I always thought it was old age
@@teeheeteeheeishIt was diabetes.
The combination of video and audio both gives you chills…him closing the piano at the end…
she passed away after doing the video that was her standing there for that shot and Trent said after hearing this version he said it was Johnny;s song now which says alot, this was the last thing he recorded before he passed away so it makes it that more hard hitting
He recorded American V after this, and was performing live (there are videos on UA-cam) almost to the end of his life.
The closing of the lid is the most emotion I have ever felt from a piano ,,,, and it was not even being played....it gets me...every...single...time....
Johnny's cover is powerful and emotional, it's a reflection on a lifetime worth of mistakes and regrets while the original NiN version is about the regrets from one mistake.
"But I remember everything' hits so hard. You can't run from your demons. They'll haunt you until the end of your days.
I rewatched this video recently (the first time I watched it since it was released) and ugly cried by the end. I then showed it to my 76 year old country music loving father, and he was trying not to cry by the end as well. Cash's version (especially the video) just hits hard.
If you hear Mr Johnny Cash sing this version of the song, and you do not get chills or tears... All I can say is I am sorry you never developed a feeling heart. Something about his raspiness just gives the song a whole new meaning.
Johnny Cash actually did a lot of covers like this, they're some of my favorite things to listen to from him. The Beatles, Sheryl Crow, The Eagles, Niel Diamond, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, Tom Petty (a couple of times), Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, Soundgarden, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, U2, and many, many more. He was so talented and made so much original music but he loved covering other people's songs as well. A true student of music. Great video and I had a strong urge to hug you by the end of it.
I found it really cool that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were actually the backing band on his “Unchained” album and Petty sang backup vocals on the covers of his own songs.
I was looking through the comments and was going to say much the same thing. I will just add that he also did covers of Jimmie Rogers "In The Jail House Now" and Hank Snow "I've Been Everywhere". I'm sure we've barely scratched the surface of his songs.
He did a lot of covers. But he didn't do a lot of covers like this.
The video of this song is a masterpiece and adds so much to the message.
Yep...wish we got to see it.
Trend said that once Johnny did, this song wasn't his anymore when it was sent to him. He didn't know if he could do it anymore. Johnny also covered Soundgardens Rusted Cage.
This was from American IV, the 4th of 5 albums of cover songs. I think the 5th album was released posthumously. Some other covers from that album include 'Bridge over Troubled Water' by Simon & Garfunkel, 'First Time I Saw Your Face' by Roberta Flack, 'Personal Jesus' by Depeche Mode, 'In My Life' by the Beatles, and 'Danny Boy', the traditional Irish folk song.
I'm 68, and Johnny is right near the front of the line in where musical artists came into my consciousness..There was Elvis, Johnny, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, then the Beatles, Stones, and it took off from there...Most of them were introduced to us via the Ed Sullivan Show..It surely was an amazing time for music, and a long time ago..Broke my heart when I first saw this video, but I also knew Johnny's path was not always an easy one.
The visuals for this song in the video make it even more impactful
It's funny because your video feed cut out at the end of the content playback, but having watched you for a while and I really enjoyed your comments at the end, just seeing pure black but hearing your voice in high fidelity gave it more of a poignant and heartfelt aspect. Love it.
"You can have it all.. my empire of dirt..."
No amount of fame and money and recognition can shield one from pain sorrow and regret.
Prince covered more songs during his concerts than anyone else. He would promote the beauty of music over himself.
I don't know how many times I've seen reactions to this but during yours I realized the end sums up the life of someone who doesn't love or value himself trying to show appreciation of those who loved him anyway, even with all his faults. Maybe Trent meant it that way as well, but the Cash history and perspective at the close of his career really drove it home.
What an incredible song. Thank you for reacting to this.
The word "Haunting" was written to describe this song...
When Johnny sang this song it came from his heart and years of struggling with addiction. He made this song his own!! R I.P. Johnny Cash!! 😪💔I miss your music and your presence here on this planet!!
Johnny didn't want to do this song, he said it wasn't his style. Trent (NIN) didn't want him to do this song, it was too personal for him. Johnny's manager pushed and pushed. Trent heard Johnny's version and said that it's Johnny's song now. He also said, "I was born to write this song....Johnny was born to sing it.".
Nine Inch Nails may have wrote this song. But Johnny Cash was born to sing this song.
This is not only a beautiful and emotional cover...but as you touched on, it's an important lesson about music. The things you get, or don't get, from a piece of music aren't always going to be the same as someone else.
The best music, is the music you like to listen to, the way you like to listen to it.
In the words of Mike Skinner from The Streets: "We came to this world with nothing, and we leave with nothing but love. Everything else is just borrowed."
A legend covered someone. And he did it because it fit his life so much. He heard it and couldn’t describe his life better with his own words so he used NIN’s words.
As for covers, which are not rare at all, but what is rare is for artists of a previous generation and genre to do cover like this. It does show an uncommon respect for the material and original writer; especially one that around 60 years his junior.
I can't listen to this song without just crying my eyes out. He took a song that is a very different vibe from the NIN original version and just made it his own. Trent Reznor said that he dismissed it when he first heard it but when he was sent the video it kind of hit him and he grasped the weight of it. He's said since that its not his song anymore
First time I've heard the song without the video. Amazing. The impact is nearly the same. Good job.
Johnny owns the song now.
I’ll always be grateful to Rick Rubin for convincing Johnny to do The American Recordings series.
In an interview Johnny told about the first time they met. Rick was taking a nap on a couch, and Johnny thought maybe that’s the janitor or something like that.
Hendrix made "All Along The Watchtower" his own. Dylan agreed. Reznor agreed that Cash made this one his own as well.
When he showed the video to his daughter, she said that it sounded like he was saying "goodbye", he told her . . . he was .
Johnny made this song his own. He was a one of a kind. Great reaction to an iconic artist.
Love his version, it has a different sadness to it knowing the end is nearing and that love matters most in the end.
I bought the CD before the video broke. My reaction to first hearing this track was, "HOLY SH!T!!!" Then, knowing the song before viewing this video, I was still floored by it. So powerful!
Johnny’s American recordings are all stripped down covers, a lot of which you wouldn’t expect, but all worth listening to. More recently, Dolly Parton did an album of rock covers. Apparently there’s a story there about not being comfortable being in the Rock’n’roll Hall of Fame having not written a rock song. There are others out there.
There's lots of good music out there but once in a while there is a song that is special. "I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town, I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, but is there because he's a victim of the times."
Even Trent said after this came out that this song didn't belong to him anymore; this is Johnny's song now. Its terribly painful hearing such an old man describe pain in this from his perspective, it has an entirely different feel of genuine loss than most music does. Its terribly painful to hear his voice throughout.
You know something is true art when, even in very different contexts, still have a huge emotional impact. Timeless.
With this video, which was also Johnny's last before he withdrew from music completely and unfortunately died in 2003, Johnny tried to reflect on his own life, in contrast to the original.
It reflects the early days of his career, as well as its sometimes difficult course.
The video also makes it clear that everything is temporary and that money and fame cannot replace health.
This becomes particularly clear in the video when he, almost alone in an armchair, reflects on his life, while his wife June Carter Cash listens to him from the stairs and has to realize helplessly, almost pitifully, that the time to say goodbye will soon come .
The last scene in the video is intended to symbolize the end.
The end of saying goodbye to his fans as well as the end of earthly existence. He closes the coffin lid himself...
Rest in Peace, great Man in Black.
I am proud to have seen you live in 1982.
I will always carry this gift in my heart...
I love that song. It's very sad and true at the same time.
If you wanna check out some other noteworthy covers in the metal / rock space. 'Children of Bodom - Oops I did it Again' and 'Northern Kings - My Way' are two that always come to mind for me.
Hola love this song NIN rules, nice reaction, thanks. saludos, que tengas lindo dia.
The video really hits when it ends with him closing the lid on the piano. Basically saying "the end" when you realize his wife died shortly after theis recording and he followed her not long after.
As a person who so beautifully put things to words, someone else could do it better for his own life I think.
Johnny felt this song deeply. He wanted to do it. It's the last song he ever recorded.
Thank you for sharing your reaction with us. :)
When Rick Rubin suggested it, Johnny initially said he didn't think he could pull it off. Rick said, it's only going to be you and the acoustic guitar. I think the piano dirge was added in the studio.
Way to maintain composure! Lovely reaction. FYI, screen goes black @ 8:22. Audio is still running.
He only did this because his daughter liked it and he was dying! It was definitely great. He did die only 4 months after his wife. They were married for 35 yrs and 2 months. Being married 26 yrs and I don’t think I could live without her. I can’t sleep if she is not next to me holding hands!
WHEN YOUR WORLD ENDED LIKE HIS DID, I BET HE JUST DIED FROM A BROKEN HEART! I guess 2 months is how long that takes when your best friend and love of your live passes.
Questa canzone spezza le reni e chiude la gola. È bellissima fatta dai NIN, ma questa sembra trascendere lo spazio e il tempo. A giudicare dal sospiro anche a te causa emozioni forti.
Even Trent Reznor has said, this is Johnny Cash's song now. He died 7 months after recording this cover. This is an example of how the emotional "weight" of the vocalist means more than the quality of the voice. This was recorded in Feb 2023, June Carter (who was in the video) died in May 2023, then Johnny passed in Sept 2023.
They died in 2003
you really need to see the video version
Love this and your reaction, such a nostalgic song for everyone who listens
That is June standing on the stairs.
This is a great song. one of my favorites. But I can’t listen to it anymore because it was the song my cousin requested they played at his funeral
Even Trent Rezner said this song became Johnny's. It was a fantastic song with NIN....but Johnny...he just KILLED it with this version
Trent said this song will now always belong to Johnny Cash. He was moved by the way Johnny took it to a whole new place.
It's from his The American Recordings collection, he done a lot more then this before passing, everyone thought he was finished after The Highway Men.
She was still alive when he was recording this song. Neither of them were in good health at the time. Another song that I find haunting, because it came out shortly before he died. Is "Adios" by Glen Campbell. He was dying of Alzheimer's at the time and while the song was not as big of a hit as this. It was a great farewell to his fans. Thanks for this reaction. New subscriber here.
4:00 This old man has his Tissues i feel it soooo much thanks from a silly old 70 year ❤❤❤❤ another cool cove id Kasey Chambers country cover of emiems Lise yourself also avout a year after he sang this😢
At the end of the song when he strokes the piano, that broke me
He also did a cover of U2's One that's really cool too.
As I'm sure you know, the video went blank in the last part of your reaction (2+ minutes), but the audio was fine. Speaking of fine, you are stunning !!! Enough of that ... great reaction and nice analysis.
I didn't realize it uploaded like that! Nooo 😭😭😭 sorry! Thank you for letting me know
@@rayactionsNP ... happy to help out. I know the process can be complicated at times and sh*t happens☹. I'll let you know if I see any other issues 😊👍.
Makes me cry everytime :) What a legend !
The best cover ever recorded. Ever. Period.
Johnny Cash also covered "Rusty Cage" from Soundgarden. Good reaction vid!
Hurt - Johnny Cash
The Sound Of Silence - Disturbed
Lose Yourself - Kasey Chambers
The original versions of all three songs have always held a strong significance and connection for me, and all from artists I seriously respect. And then the new covers come out, all from artists I also massively respect, switching the genres and creating a new work of art that hits to the core in different ways, but with that same intensity and significance. Each showing huge respect to the original, while also taking it over in their own way.
Another amazing cover is disturbed cover of .....simon and Garfunkes, sound of silence. It's night an day different too.
Johnny covered a lot of songs ☮️
When I left Iraq in late 2003, I was sitting at Rammstein Air Force Base in Germany waiting for my next flight to get home. I heard this song come on, and I said that sounds like Johnny Cash, and to my surprise it was. It was one of the most poignant songs I have ever heard and very befitting of the moment. It is a moment I will never forget.
It has added poignancy as Johnny was running out of time and could not make amends. After everything he is bereft of hope. It’s beautiful and sad.
There is a very long, very rich, history of famous people covering other famous peoples’ songs
I am incredibly grateful to Rick Rubin for inspiring Johnny Cash to perform this song. touches my emotions every time when you listen to it
Trent Reznor has said that "Hurt" is Johnny's song now it moved him so much.
Johnnie Cash did a TON of covers when he did the Rick Rubin albums. Check out Rusty Cage...
@8:08 begins one of the most sincere reactions.
When the storytelling hits so hard that you forget that Johnny Cash is (also) singing.
Johnny Cash also did a cover of Rusty Cage by Soundgarden
Johnny Cash and Trent Reznor aside, this is such a beautiful song. Song-writing, composition, everything. They both delivered such amazing performances of it and I struggle to find my favorite. Years pass and I still find myself listening to either one of them when in a bad moment, they're interchangeable to me. Legends of the game, both of them.
i just learned this song thru logan trailer back in 2017
I found this video after watching Lorna Shores Sun//eater reaction. I had to click because this song (Johnnys cover) has been a big part
Of my adulthood. (Just turned 30) I wish you would’ve had the video up but it works without it. Keep doing what your doing your a great UA-camr ❤
Love Johnny's version of this. You should listen to one of the last songs Johnny wrote, "The Man Comes Around". Just amazing.
Don't argue just listen and feel... Just pass well
It's ok
Was a hard one to watch. Right?? Thanks. Killer song. Nice reaction. Liking your style. Big shoutout from this old, hippy dude in the mountains of East Tennessee. Keep-a-rockin. See ya on the next. Peace. Later.
Johnny Cash has always covered songs by other artists; he was humble singer and a music fan... he related w/ the people who were downtrodden and kept down. He was always looking for songs to sing... and one of his early hits was 'Ring of fire' that was co-written by June Carter (before she became Johnny Cash's wife) ... and he also covered Bob Dylan's song "It ain't me babe" as a duet w/ June Carter.
Because of his health, Johnny Cash could not tour after 1989... Def American producer Rick Rubin offered Johnny Cash a record contract and gave him full creative control - he released 'American recordings' in 1994 and continued to release new albums for the label which gave Cash a new fanbase... Cash covered 'Bird on the wire' (Leonard Cohen)... 'Rusty cage' (by Soundgarden)... 'Solitary man' (by Neil Diamond) ... 'Personal Jesus' (by Depeche Mode)... and so many others. R.I.P. Legend 🤘🤘
The music video for 'Hurt' was filmed in early 2003 for his 4th American recordings album 'The man comes around' (released in late 2002) and did feature his wife June Carter Cash in the clip... His daughter Roseanne Cash recalled the couple inviting her to watch the clip together and it was emotional for her... June Carter soon passed away from her health issues and Johnny Cash died 3 months later...
That was June on the staircase, she passed not long after this.
JC takes it so much deeper.
When Trent heard this cover, he said "it's not my song anymore"
“Damn.” Yeah. Sure enough. That fits the song and that fits the video.
So many people assume so much about cash and have no idea who he actually was. He actually didn't want to do this so g at first. He claimed it wasn't his style or his type. He CHANGED it to March his style because the song is played differently by cash then nine inch nails. Further more the singer literally gave the song to cash because he said that cash could actually make it sound better.
When I first heard this song I was like Johnny cash still has it only years later did I found out he didn’t write it but an amazing cover
a Legend, that says "Farewell" to his fans and the world...
I always love your reactions. This one the video of the song was not on at all, and after you paused and went back to listen again, the whole screen was blacked out. Didn’t see you at all the last half of the reaction. It’s a heartbreaking song. Thx for reacting!🙏🏼🌹💕
I was wondering about that. Does she edit her videos herself or does she film the reaction and has someone else editing it and putting it online? Maybe she doesn't even know!
@@Sadlander2I don’t think she checked it lol
Rick Ruben had to try several times to talk Johnny into recording this cover.
Also this is last official johny cash sung before the king die’s R.I.P king
