      @@LM-hb6yn nope. She she after the making of the video. The video is just a video. He covered another artists work and put his own twist on it. Trent Reznors version was about a young man and his spiral into self destruction in the beginning stages of life. Cash made it about an old man and the spiral into self destruction and regret. Pretty damn cool from both artists. June Carter died. February 3 months after the making of the video. Johnny Cash followed that September.

    It's a song of regret, he regrets he didn't treat the people in his life better. He regrets he let drugs in his life. He realized the "things" in his life mean nothing. He wishes he could start over and keep himself instead of becoming who the person he is. It's very sad! As we age and self reflect we all have regrets. Some more then others. Once we get close to death we see more clearly how special life really is and how much we value it.

    There’s 2 kinds of people in this world. The first, listens to this song, and feels empathy for Johnny. They stare on in a sort of awe, stunned by the obvious pain. They sort of watch helplessly as they watch a priceless treasure die. And say “I wish I knew more about Johnny Cash.”
    The second, listens with this song, and feels a familiarity that is impossible to put into words. It helps to know more about Johnny Cash, but regardless memories from their lives are flooded back. And the pain of life is uniquely… treasured? Appreciated. Understood and made a part of the individual. This person hurts along with Johnny Cash.

    Everytime I see this video and listen to the song, I feel like Johnny is grieving for us all. His compassion comes through in this song. He really takes it from us all and lets us know, "I feel your suffering. I suffer too. Let me give you love and healing."

    This is about Johnny's life the ups and downs. He became a legend he built an empire but in the end it meant nothing at all. The people he loved are gone when he looked back on it all it was like a different person but Johnny was still there. You could have his fame and fortune if he could do it again he would probably do it different, it was like he was apologizing for things he couldn't fix. He died shortly after he wrote this song i guess he knew his time was up.

      @@tonymatrisin4328 - It's a bit like Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix and "All Along the Watchtower" the cover has transformed the song into something else. Downward Spiral was a great and depressing album about addiction and regret but when this song from it was sung by an aging man who had many of the same issues as Trent did but had lived so much longer and seen so much more the lyrics change from somewhat self-pitying to something else and the message becomes more universal because at that point all of us are going to have regrets and done things we are sorry for and we all know that - it becomes a form of wisdom and a message to try to live a better life before it's too late. As good as the NIN version was it could never carry the weight or resonance that Cash's years add to the lyrics.

    Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails said it was no longer his song , it is Johnny Cash's song , what a tribute to Johnny Cash 🥺❤
    from the song writer
    It was not only meant for him to sing , it was a song that he lived
    God Rest his Soul
    We don’t mourn musicians death because we knew them , we mourn them because they helped us to know ourselves
    The pain that this song is and it is also his life , one most of important gifts of his life , was to have his wife
    Everyone he knows goes away , his wife June did go away before him but he also lived almost all of his life with her.
    There is some of us , not only also lived a life of pain and suffering and hurt and still are today 🥺
    And because of their hurt and not allowing no one get close
    And although he lived a life that he felt hurt and broken , and because of the choices he made because of hurt , not only did he hurt himself and he hurt others because of his choices , born from his pain
    Some of us live this kind of life alone without a wife or husband
    Your only companion is pain , because not only because it's real , it also reminds you constantly that You are Alive !
    Please stop repeating the same choices or new versions of the same choices that give you the same result .
    Choose your Savior Jesus Christ and give him your pain and live his choices for you and the life that he meant for you and only you. He truly loves you
    And although you didn't know it during your life and the choices you made , he was always with you and you are still here today ,
    Choose Jesus and you will be free , free from everything that was you . Because you are are new self and your life from before is dead . Live in the Peace and Love that Only Jesus can give you because he overcome this world
    “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
    John 16:33 NIV

He died a few months after shooting this video. When he and June's daughter say the video she cried and said "it sounds like you're saying Goodbye, Johnny replied: "I am".

    All the "dirt" he's talking about is his fame and fortune..it's all things that don't mean anything in the end. He also mentions that he'll let you down and hurt you, because he's only a human being, not a god that some of his fans thought he was. At least these things are my take on this. He didn't write this song; it was written and performed by Nine Inch Nails.

    He was a heavy drug user when he was young. The song says "the needle tears a hole, the old familier sting". The Hurt he talks about is the hurt that he has caused. He says "I will make you hurt". When he says "you can have my empire of dirt" he's telling us that material things are nothing more than dirt. Everyone goes away in the end and all your things can not change that.

    The first singer to get awards from country, gospel, and rock halls of fame. The man in black rode a rocky road to get too the top. Only to let it all slip from his hands. The hurt is that he spent so many years on drugs, drunk, and angry. His Mother was his best friend for a long time, then his wife died, shortly before the man himself some months after this song. The song resonates because, after all the fame all that was left is a empire with no worth to a dying man.

    I always wanted to like Johnny Cash’s music bc he seemed so cool, the man in black; but I’m not a country music fan. But this song and video is just so good. It’s a reflection of a life nearing the end, the regrets and the sorrow. It gives you the chills when you know how his wife died right after and how he soon followed. It makes you think about how you live your life and what you’ll feel at the end of it. Our life spans are so short. Less then a speck of time when compared to the life span of stars and the universe. We are so insignificant yet we’re so prideful. We live as the center of our own universe. The hero of our own story. When we die our only legacy (for most of us) is those memories of who we leave behind. When those ppl who remember us die, we will only exist as a name written somewhere. Knowing that maybe we should live making the most of our extremely limited time on this planet, in this vast universe.
