[@joiedevivre2005]

Johnny Cash could "take you to church" without sounding "preachy" , he just sounded wise.

[@merlball8520]

Johnny Cash owns this song forever. It's the kind of rendition of a song where the lyrics and arrangement and vocals are so suited to each other that any other version just pales in comparison.

[@futurereflections4097]

Johnny has that wisdom like very few in the music industry. Nine inch nails is like emo punk. I don’t think anyone saw him covering them and it turned out to one of the best covers of all time.

[@t.lee.p9182]

Who else does this song?

[@jmhaces]

@@t.lee.p9182 Exactly. Johnny Cash wrote this and recorded it not long before his passing. What other version of this song even exists that could compete with it?

[@adnap]

@@futurereflections4097 What is Emo Punk ? It’s always been called Industrial.

[@futurereflections4097]

@@adnap I guess yeah, their original version of hurt was very emo though, nihilistic even. And cash made that song about sadness and it was very emotional, despite the original purposely lacking emotion, which is an emotion in itself I guess. I do respect NIN a lot. Every day is exactly the same is perfect (also emo vibes) and that song about money, I forget it.

[@wackyvorlon]

He was a legend. I tell people that Johnny Cash’s genre was Johnny Cash.

[@azzarahjayde5840]

I like that!!!

[@pennydavis2637]

Absolutely!

[@sven_86]

[@LaptopLarry330]

When Johnny Cash was asked what kind of music he sang, he said that he sang “American music”.

[@janalea5551]

Your statement is brilliant. And so very true!

This song was released in May of 2002. Johnny Cash was 70 years of age. His beloved wife, June Carter Cash, died one year after the release of this song, and John, shattered by her passing, went to meet her four months later. If the American Recordings were all he ever recorded, he would be a legend in the music industry.

[@baneh1329]

I always assumed it was way older

[@steppingrazor5520]

Another interesting thing is that the American Recordings were all produced by Rick Rubin who made his career producing Hip Hop. He approached Johnny with the idea.

[@xzonia1]

You can feel it in how he sang this song, he knew he'd be seeing the man on the white horse soon enough, and he makes us all feel how close that man is. ❤

[@magneto7930]

Absolutely, amen!

[@danielleighton2553]

Amen

[@jollykone2258]

Johnny Cash didn't go off to see the 'White Horse'. The rider on the white beast is a false God.

[@xzonia1]

@@jollykone2258 My bad. You're right. The pale horse carries death, not the white horse (I was going for death). It's been a while since I last read this passage. Apparently, there is some theological dispute over whether the white horse carries Jesus Christ or the Anti-Christ, and some say it's the Holy Ghost. You're clearly in the Anti-Christ camp of translations.

[@knightscroftsquire-muldoon]

​​@@xzonia1In the original Greek translation the pale(light green and sickly) horse is death with hell behind it and Christ will return riding a white horse. The Antichrist will come riding a donkey(a sign of modesty) to mimic Jesus earthly body riding into Jerusalem as to show he is for the common people. Christ will return riding a white horse with a double edged sword in his mouth(the word of God) to vanquish the Antichrist and armies of the world gathered to kill the last of the true believers. But You're correct you just needed a little clarification, God bless friend!

[@rubyswaim1441]

I agree with everyone that has suggested "Hurt". I've only heard it in it's entirety one time. It is pure emotion.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Jay reacted to "Hurt" about a year ago (back before Amber was on the channel). Not sure if she's heard it as well (like if he played it for her afterward or she watched his reaction or something). If not, might be a good one to revisit.

[@brianmcmaster5112]

@@johnplaysgames3120 But we want Amber to watch it. What's the point of watching a reaction without her??

[@Syberjunkie1]

@@brianmcmaster5112 I agree. We all want to see her get emotional. There are a lot of songs back then that she should listen to.

[@seandooley226]

This song is like a sermon from a man who's seen it and lived it all. He's simply saying there will be a day when you will be judged accordingly, whether you have been good or wicked and it was all in that book to read that's been around for thousands of years. A very deep, spiritual and reflective song.

[@eileenobrien3337]

My youngest sister always loved Johnny. Our mum wrote to him and asked him for a photo signed. My sister had a disability and didn't speak for the 1st 5 years of her life. Loved music especially JC. We never thought any more of it. Then one day it arrived. She loved it. In her 40th year we lost her and our dad in a car accident together in 2006. Johnny's signed photo went with her.

[@Sharkman1963]

May they rest in blessed peace with our Lord.

[@rodjohnson2632]

Johnny Cash is much like Dolly Parton, in that they're both so good at everything they do, they are appreciated by a very wide audience. I'm a 70's rocker type, but always liked pretty much every Johnny Cash song I ever heard. This is the first time I've heard this particular song, it's a gem!

[@mickeymayfield4192]

Johnny cash is so deep with layers, fun songs, heartbreaking songs, ballads, and covers of other genres, you never know what is next.

[@the.wayne.b]

[@fondasarff9701]

The album he recorded after losing his dear June is utterly haunting. The pain and loss tears at your heart.

[@audioman8650]

It's my true and sincere hope that anybody that hears this song will open their heart and listen to what Johnny was saying, time is running out very quickly for people to make a decision on whether they grab the lifeline god has thrown out to them or not.

Johnny Cash was a prolific singer. The man comes around and Hurt are two masterpieces he did near the end of his life.

Johnny Cash's voice is godlike! Especially when he hit the 90's and released all these great albums with Rick Rubin!

[@nivekvergas8217]

This song always makes me cry. It always carried weight both because of the depth it has and the fact it was one of the last songs he ever done.

[@MrTech226]

Jay & Amber This is why that Johnny was famously known as "Man In Black" because he and his classic songs represents for those who are poor, downtrodden, and working class.

[@JMD1965]

I can't remember a time when the image & music of Johnny Cash wasn't in my life. He WAS American music to me and one of the all-time great story tellers. I know no one lives forever, but his passing was like a loss of a family member to me. I'm so happy he left us still at the top of his musical game. May the man in black rest in eternal peace and his music inspire and influence generations to come.

[@Bill-ku4mc]

"...a voice that will take a bullet for you"....highest praise I've ever heard

[@russworks2882]

"Girl from the North Country" was sung as a duet by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan.

[@EVGriffinJr]

I knew of Johnny Cash growing up but I didn’t start listening to him until after I saw the marvel X-Men film called Logan. His music fit that movie so much I started researching. My favorite song by him will forever be “hurt.“ But this one was actually in played in the credits of Logan. And it fit the main character Logan/wolverine so well! This man you can tell has felt the ranges of joy and happiness but also deep hurt and pain! And he expresses that in every song he did.

[@GITRDONE7117]

I highly recommend listening to another Johnny Cash favourite “Sunday Morning Coming Down.” Make sure you listen to the version from the Johnny Cash show.

[@dasecretformula6179]

It made me think of Tombstone when Wyatt Earp said, " Tell them I'm coming, and hell's coming with me you hear, hell's coming with me!"

[@magdalenem4949]

this song is actually about the return of Christ and his judgment. Johnny studied the bible and there are a lot of references in this to it. BTW; he did this before he died because we are running out of time, google the river euphrates drying up and the book of Revelation in the bible.

[@mickeymayfield4192]

Funfact Johnny and June Carter Cash were at several Billy Graham crusades singing and testifying about how their faith had transformed their lives.

[@BulldogMack700rs]

Your exactly right about the wisdom in his voice it's so expressive even his guitar playing is unique to him, Singing in Vietnam talking blues and Drive on are songs that I've never heard anyone react to. During the Vietnam war Johnny and June did a lot of USO shows over there these songs are about that time. Cash will always have my respect being a former service member, interesting fact Johnny Cash was the first westerner to know Stalin died as he decoded the Russian communications when he was in the Air Force.

[@the.wayne.b]

a mma fighter named brian bowles used to use this song when he was champ, it was so perfect for a champions walk.

[@lagster12]

The Album this song is from was indeed his last. He had lost his beloved wife June Carter a few years prior and his health wasn’t good. The entire album is about confronting death. Top producers were lining up to work with him and the album is very stripped down instrumentally but arranged so perfectly that a single piano or organ note creates beautifully rich drama in the songs. He does a lot of covers of some classics, including Danny Boy and Bridge Over Troubled Waters. But the one that cuts deep to listen to is the cover of the Nine Inch Nails song “Hurt.” It’s a perfect metaphor for his life, which included addiction, and the video is quite moving. The entire album is a masterpiece and a fitting final bow in an illustrious career and life, flaws and all.

[@NCManAgain]

He painted such good word pictures for this because he had a dream about it. In his dream, he was talking to Queen Elizabeth and she told him, "Johnny, you're like a whirlwind in a thorn tree!"

[@micahhawkins-bs9gf]

Had an uncle who had the same quality as Johnny. We are a sizable clan-- cousins, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, in-laws & out-laws-- so when we're all sitting around talking about a subject it can get pretty jumbled. But when Uncle Bob spoke up, which he didn't do frequently, every mouth shut & he had the floor.

[@GOGIANTS1091]

I’m 28 and I too grew up with Johnny Cash from those lullabies. My late aunt used to sing to me You Are my Sunshine by JC. Since then I’ve been a big Cash guy. He’s my all time favorite solo artist. Just recently I picked up a few of his collections in cd form at a local record shop. So I’ll recommend some hidden gems that I found for the first time on those cds. Definitely the Wanderer feat U2 with Johnny Cash. If I were a Carpenter, Sunday Morning coming Down & Thirteen all great underrated songs by the man in Black

You must listen to his cover of Nine Inch Nails "Hurt". His absolute last masterpiece. So much so, Trent Reznor admitted that the song was no longer his but Johnny's.
