He was singing his goodbyes... His doughter said something in the way... "Sounds like you are singing your goodbyes". And he answered "I guess I am". Yes I cryed when I saw this video.... So good. Sad but good.

[@Metzwerg74]

that moment, when he closes and caresses the piano... you can feel his farewell in it....

[@cbdawg4242]

Incredible how Cash’s performance made this song feel completely different than what NIN initially created

[@floridareedsreviews]

I read somewhere once that NIN, when they heard Johnny's version, they said that the song was now his because of how he had made it his own. They didn't mean it in a bad way, it's just that even though the words were the same and the melody was similar, the way he delivered them changed the entire meaning of the song, and they respected both what he had done and him for it.

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

@@floridareedsreviews Much as Otis Redding said about his song Respect when Aretha Franklin performed it.

[@kylefrandsen2665]

Released in 2002. His wife of 35 years (country star June Carter Cash - writer of "Ring of Fire" - on the stairs looking at him with love in the video) died in May 2003. Johnny died 4 months later in September 2003. Closing the piano lid and how it represents his end, hits me hard every time.

[@JeffOfTheMountains]

I have seen grown men cry when watching this video and hearing this song, so tears are nothing to be ashamed of having.

[@kataklop101]

As if 'grown men' set the standard …

[@bialy3nemrodxxx571]

Tears are nothing to be ashamed of...

[@birdo1180]

@@kataklop101 @bialy3nemrodxxx571 Gotta love how society blames men for society teaching men they aren't allowed to cry or show emotion. And yes, by "society"I mean WOMEN as well as MEN re-enforce this idea onto men. It just amazes me how we use compassion when addressing how women are wrongly biased for being assertive, and then turn around and scrutinize and blame and be hostile towards men for masking and hiding their emotion.

[@billstewart9132]

The legendary Johnny Cash, who built a music empire and achieved more than anyone can imagine, reminds us to hold tight to our loved ones...because everybody goes away, in the end. Surely a masterpiece of autobiographical music. And I cried too, because how could I not?

[@osovagabundo1]

Seeing the imagery of a legend in music and mind. He had a huge life and stood up for his beliefs. This was a swan song and he owns it now. We sit and are reminded he fought a lot of pushback, we also are reminded that his music and lifestyle shaped American culture for a long time.

[@WilliamRoop-xt6rp]

Good Monday morning... I had tears in my eyes just thinking of how this would hit you ... Thank you for bearing your soul with Johnny and us. Johnny didn't sing or perform this, he LIVED it.

[@fredkemper5957]

Thank you for your great reaction. Johnny Cash has been a great part of my life, and is dearly missed as well. 😢

[@macmcgee5116]

As for the closing of the piano. It is said that it was never opened again. I mean, after he died who knows. But from the time of that final scene, until Johnny's death. It remaind closed. He had finished and said his goodbye.

[@AngieCHolland]

Such an emotional interpretation of a song. A beautiful gift Johnny Cash left for us. ❤

[@johnsonpaul1914]

The piano closing gets this 77 year old guy every time---IT IS DONE. What did any of it mean?

[@PakToh]

It was the last time he had this piano open for himself, this is the final time he closed his piano and this is always the time I cry ...

[@BipolarBLKSheep]

And how he so gently runs his hands over the lid. Like one final loving act towards it.

[@ejd53]

He was 71, he just had a really hard life and it showed.

[@mikegoodwin2386]

He's always been a story-teller who happens to set those stories to music.

[@waynerowlinson6177]

I probably listened to this song 1000 times now and it still gives me chills and makes my eyes water every time. I am a life long Johnny Cash fan, and out of the enormous library of his music, THIS song gets to me the most. This is the type of song that makes me love music. The video magnifies the emotion. Even though Johnny was extremely sick while doing this, his voice was still amazing. Thanks for the video!

[@nolanschwartz4155]

Such a legend. This song is made for him with his story, this man is one of my all time favorite music artists. You can hear the pain in his voice.

[@rebeccarose7405]

I got my tissues as soon as I saw what song you were doing. Such a powerful, emotional experience. This is what music is! ❤️🎶

[@brianboye8025]

Finally, a vocal coach reactor who is also so connected to the visual language. Thanks, you have a broad bandwidth to your sensitivity.

[@kennethbryson7751]

Thanks Jen, this is the best imagination of someone else’s song I have ever heard! I heard that when he showed his daughter the video she said dad, it sounds like you are saying goodbye, he responded, I am! Also the writer of the song with nine inch nails said: it’s Johnny’s song now. Again thank you! Truly moving! Life goes by and when we are done, it’s all just dirt! What really matters is how we touch others to make a difference! Your friend, low bass Kenneth

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Trent and Johnny made one hell of a song. ✌️

[@MarkBtvd]

Great analysis of a great song, Jen. I was a little surprised you hadn’t seen it yet, but glad you did now. Tears are good, it’s hard to say goodbye and that’s what we did with this one. June Carter Cash (seen watching over Johnny) died in May of that year, and Johnny died the following September (per the Wikipedia entry on the song).

[@ricbrown1114]

I have seen the video and have watched countless reaction videos to this song and 2 things are constant, 1. I have tears in my eyes every time and 2. Every reactor has some emotional reaction. This was Johnny Cash saying goodbye. Even Trent Reznor said, after watching this video, that this song was Cash's song now.

[@BipolarBLKSheep]

That pause at the VERY end right before the final words just KILLED ME! I am all about pausing the song and talking about it but, as a musician, it just destroys me inside when someone stops a verse or chorus just before the end. Thanks for watching this though. Listening to it all the way through just destroys you. Especially learning the context on how he died shortly after recording this. Rumor has it that his daughter said something like "Dad, it feels like you're saying goodbye"... He replied, "I am".

[@aldo34]

The breathing and the voice 'crackles' are mostly down to the fairly heavy compression they're using on the vocal recording. Very nice. Builds a real intimacy.

[@dagmar.6954]

This song was originally written & performed by "Nine Inch Nails". It was written about drugs & depression. But Johnny Cash's version is considered the best. His version is more about regret for past mistakes in life & realizing material things & fame mean nothing in the end. When the video was filmed in February 2003, Cash was 71 years old & had serious health problems. His frailty is clearly evident in the video. He died seven months later, on September 12 & his wife, June Carter Cash, who is shown gazing at her husband in two sequences of the video, had died on May 15 of the same year.

[@JulioHernandez-chico]

This has make us Men cried more than ever. ... The man was him. My to be dad was in Folsom prison back in 68 and he played there live and everyone loved him ....my dad was released 88 and i was born 89 . 97 I was 8 he introduced me to Johnny cash. Since then I have loved him.

[@osovagabundo1]

Good analysis of a legendary voice. His sound has always been timeless.

[@scottdean2199]

This video always brings me to tears. The closing of the piano hits especially hard.

[@robertjackson4454]

I have listened to Johnny since the early ‘60s. The beginning and growth of his career. His decades of popularity and then his decline in popularity, his struggles with addiction and almost career demise. His resurgence, the changing of his music and rebirth of his popularity. After June’s death, this was the raw culmination of “the man in black”. The tiredness in his voice is so apparent. He influenced many artists and several genres of music. His last recordings were typical “Cash”. Great analysis, Jenn!

[@andreasbuhrmann8442]

Another interesting fact I've seen in other comments is about the piano he played the one-note hits on. It was likely the final time he played it - final time it was opened and closed - making the final act of him closing it in the video even more poignant.

[@carolburnett190]

Johnny Cash was a fixture in my house as a child and I recognize many of the photos and video clips included. This video is heartbreaking and it also delivers a powerful message. Thank you, Jen!

[@pancentricism]

Don't know if you've ever watched The Fairy Voice Mother, another reactor like you, but she, on her youtube channel Lolli Wren has just done a stunning cover of this. Would be fun for you to do a reaction to her, and then she might return the compliment with one of your songs.

[@chriso6719]

I concur.

[@gunguy5409]

This song and John Denver were played during my daughter's funeral. She was only 3 and loved these songs. John Denver more than Cash but she liked so much. Lost her last year on father's day.

[@jeffreysouthgate9834]

If this does not make you emotional, your heart and soul have been surgically removed. Well done, Jen.

[@ericengwall9926]

I've watched this video of Johnny many times, but coming just after the Easter holiday it hits a little differently. The combination of Johnny's troubled past, the photos and imagery used in the video, the lyrics of the song, and the fact that he died not long after filming this - it feels like not only goodbye, but a final confession. Thanks, Jennifer, for a lovely reaction.

[@srudine]

Such a beautiful and emotionally intense cover. I cry every time I see this. Your analysis was wonderful Jennifer. Thank you for blessing us with it.

[@KyleS.1987]

The same moment that got you always gets me: the picture of his mama on the wall. 😢

[@markmyers6472]

I believe that is Maybelle Carter... June Carter Cash's mom... his mother in law... that scene was filmed in their home... June was ill as well, but came down to check on him... which is why she seems concerned.... she was... she died just few months before he passed.

After losing my beloved dog Buddy of over 10 years easter Sunday, the meaning of this song has an especially deep meaning for me.

[@tomr5577]

A masterpiece that everyone should watch. I have seen a lot of reactors watch this magnificent performance, and one thing is a constant - it takes no more than a few lines for each and everyone one to be hit emotionally, deeply. I think we could see you torn a bit between just feeling the emotion, and needing to react as a professional, and as a listener being swept up in the song. well done, and keep it up!

[@robertobrien5709]

One of those songs that is needless of any analysis he is not performing he is singing from the heart.

[@LostHate]

I highly recommend checking out Lolli Wren's cover of Hirt as well. Just as powerful but completely different take on it. You can also see her reaction to Jonnys version to get an idea why she was so inspired to do her own version on her main channel The Fairy Voice Mother.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

This is an old man singing, with all that has degraded but he makes us feel. A life time of experience makes this, so beautiful, so emotional and add in the pictures and it is nothing but a masterpiece.

[@coletedeux]

The conversational quality is his style of singing. For a different side of his singing, please check I've Been Everywhere. Or, A Boy Called Sue.

[@JackRazz1]

I am happy to see you have a go at this one. This definitely had a feeling of finality to it - as if he was saying "this is my last rodeo". Thank you for continuing to provide your followers with great content, Jen.

[@elvwood]

Absolutely gut-wrenching - always brings the waterworks.

[@RWHansen]

I think you were looking for the word "chipper," and your chipper personality is one of the things I love about your videos. This song always makes me tear up. Great reaction and analysis as always!

[@graemeblackburn7511]

Always love & appreciate your reactions Jen. Just a reminder to add to your list Amira’s latest releases. Firstly, “Down From His Glory “. and the other one, “Amen “, both recorded just prior to her 20th birthday. They showcase her wonderful maturity in both her voice & her personally. Cheers Graeme

Quite surprised I can't find/we haven't seen a reaction and vocal analysis of John Farnham. Live renditions of 'You're the Voice' and 'Help' from the symphony orchestra are probably some of the absolute best vocals floating around.

This one really drags out the emotions, thanks Jen

Jenn, I love your reviews. BTW, Johnny's wife June, died three months after this video and Johnny a few months later.

Johnny was never a techncal stylist with riffs and vibratios and a seven octave range...no he was all about the STORY, and if he has to sing coyote ugly to get the job done, he will do it with his entire soul. RIP Johnny and June

An old man looking back and regretting errors, mistakes and loss. Regret... Props to the writer, Trent Reznor.

This is a very thoughtful reaction to a very moving performance. In a similar vein, I'd be interested in seeing your reaction to Joni Mitchell's performance of Both Sides Now at the Grammys this year.

[@garethbird4259]

Man in black, 'kin legend

[@WaechterDerNacht]

I've seen and heard it many times, but rarely make it further than the first chorus without crying, no matter wether with or without video...

[@macmcgee5116]

Important note... To me... About this video. When you see his wife, (who, as many have said, died shortly after this) in the video. That was, supposedly, spontaneous. The story goes that she was upstairs while they were shooting the video. Johnny was in poor health and the shoot was taking a long time. She came down the stairs to check on him and saw how tired he was. The look of concern on her face is genuine. They were shooting close ups of Johnny with his guitar and the director saw June and told the cameraman to zoom out and to get some shots of her. It made for a beautifully fitting, though not intentional, farewell.

[@duanelavely5481]

Trent Reznor (NIN) after hearing Cash's cover of his song said, "that song isn't mine anymore." I'm a 76 yr. old disabled Viet. vet & every time I hear Johnny Cash sing "Hurt" I cry. I got to meet Johnny Cash at Mr. Nudie's Western Wear in N. Hollywood when I was 14 (1961).

[@mos63halan68]

Check out another one of his last songs, Gods Gonna Cut You Down. I like the other music legends that have cameos in the video. He is not much younger, maybe a year or two, but his voice is a bit cleaner. RIP Mr.Cash. You leave behind a legacy that will go on forever.

[@Rangatology]

When you find out the song was released shortly before the passing of June & Johnny, it takes on further meaning. Personally, I first heard this song just after my father passed away & I sobbed like a baby. If you react to another Johnny cover from his later recordings, I’d highly suggest the more upbeat “Gods gonna cut you down”. I sing along in bass - would love to see what Tim Foust & Home Free could do with this song.

[@b.buster.]

The piano lid closing hits hard to me also.

[@davidh.4649]

Jennifer! Ok being honest, I've seen this Johnny Cash cover. And it was with another reactor. 😔 It was Charismatic Voice and to be fair it was over 3 years ago so it shouldn't count. 😁 And truly the song is over 20 years old since Johnny has been gone since 2003. So let's listen to it again. Oh! You have a tissue! Progress! Wow and you might need it. Just from that first part I remember Johnny relates this song to his life story in the images. Yeah talk about personally connected! Johnny showed us what this song meant to him, how he interpreted it, with the visuals. It's a song about loss for him. Amazing reaction and analysis as always Jen.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

This may be apocryphal, but i have heard that that piano has never been opened since this video was recorded, and sits in the House of Cash museum untouched

[@danieldickson8591]

Cash's voice had obviously aged, but that actually works really well for this song. It enhances the impression of pain, of grief, of the life experience to justify a song reflecting on the regrets at the end of a lifetime.

[@maryfolkner1970]

I always hear how hard it is for him to make certain sounds like the "th" in thoughts. Like you say his vocal cords are still strong but as the muscles in the face and the mouth weaken it gets harder to make those kinds of sounds.

[@seekfirst817]

Boston-More Than A Feeling or Pink Floyd-Comfortably Numb at the Pulse concert 1994

Johnny Cash made this "HIS OWN," Trent Reznor's words, but I prefer NINE INCH NAILS version, the video on MTV when Trent first released it, was a live performance 😊BUT JOHNNY'S IS GREAT TOO

[@_Sn0_]

I love how Trent wrote this song as he was living through addictions and how he was couping... Then Cash took it to relate on his life. "In the end" Trent said this is now Cash's song... On a side note, make sure to check out Nine Inch Nail's original!

[@javyoung]

Nice one, Jen xx

[@matthewgoodA1206]

I think this is one of the most emotional videos available to watch on KZbin. I’m someone who tends to make lists habitually, personality quirk I guess, and I’d put it in the Top 5 in terms of emotional effect. There are others of course, that some people may or may not encounter. If they do I hope they will withstand the onslaught of emotions. For me, my eyes couldn’t remain 100% dry during this. Nope. And I couldn’t suppress some chills, either. Nope again.

[@comicrelieflastlaugh3416]

Please give some focus on the vocals from the original writer of this song Trent Reznor. He is a master of composition and has some amazing vocal performances with NIN. The most well known track would be "Closer" but here are a couple of other suggestions that are worth your time, "We're In This Together", "The Great Below", "Wish", "The Perfect Drug", "Somewhat Damaged" (Personal fav but longer intro as it started the album The Fragile), "Something I Can Never Have" , and of course even "Hurt" would be a great place to react/review. I would also love to hear you dive into the voice of Maynard James Keenan. He is the singer of the progressive metal band Tool as well as the lead vocalist for two other amazing bands A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. A great place to dive into Tool are the tracks "The Pot", "Sober" (live 93'), or a personal favorite "The Grudge" (Which is the starting track from Tool's album Laturalus whose title track "Laturalus" is a masterpiece itself that includes utilizing the mathematics of the fibonacci sequence in the lyric syllables, chord structures, and time signatures.) The rest of the Tool Army will surely make other suggestions. TLDR

[@johnpegues5701]

Listen to the original, it's a really interesting comparison. Someone said "Reznor wrote a suicide note, Cash sang a eulogy".

Jen when you get a chance you should check out Nine Inch Nails version the original. Its is great just in a very different way and a different vibe. Even if you dont do a video on it..... its still worth a listen.

Consider the imagines and word references, crown of thorns, liars chest, prepared meal[ Christ's last meal, fish[ disciples/fishers of men}, the spilling of the wine, the cross, all very symbolics to Johnny's later life!

[@user-nr3sk8ib4w]

Trent Reznor kinda whispers the lyrics

[@loucatozzi7656]

It is a totally different experience to watch this video versus just listening to Johnny's version of the song. Just ask the person who wrote this originally. He did not care for Johnny's version until he saw the video later on. He realized at that point that the song was now Johnny's and not his (artistically).

“Grunge” was GenX screaming in frustration and despair about the world and their inability to do anything about it which continued on with other GenX music. When you strip it down to just the chords and lyrics, it really hits hard. For a legend like Jonny to wrap his career with a GenX classic such as this really reached through generations. Oh and because everyone forgets about us, we’re the people born between around 1966 and 1986 give or take. Whatever.
