Johnny Cash - Hurt REACTION

[@hazebruv]

Had to blur video. thanks youtube lol

[@davesheppeck696]

I appreciate you getting the meaning out of the video. I don't want to watch someone listening to the radio on you tube.

[@elvisstilllives9990]

A pity. It’s a great video.

[@ther0ckerguy]

Still fire!

[@toodlescae]

Most of us have seen the video. We're here for your reaction to it. So sad that a few weeks after this was made Johnny's wife June (lady on the stairs) passed away. A few weeks after she passed away, Johnny himself passed away.

[@aaroncoffman88]

Sorry KZbin is being a jerk to you by making you blur the video. Great reaction though and to be fair that is what brought me here.

[@rogeroran2911]

You mentioned his wife, she died shortly after he recorded this song. He died shortly after. This was his last video. This was done in his last year of life. He knew it was coming. R.I.P.

[@billsteinhardt3525]

june died before he made this vid... and it is a cover of Trent reznor

[@rogeroran2911]

@@billsteinhardt3525 I know it’s a cover of Reznor. I have that as well. I didn’t realize she died before video.

[@Uriahjw]

The closing of the piano was symbolic of his casket closing. His daughter told him it sounds like your saying goodbye and he replied "I am".

[@isogenect3288]

RIP THE man in black 😥

[@Skye_Writer]

Johnny lived a hard, hard life. If you ever get the chance, watch the movie "Walk The Line," the film biopic on Johnny Cash. He was very involved with the production of it before his death, because he knew it was inevitable that one day people would make a movie about him after he died, but he didn't want them glossing over the bad things he had done throughout his life. His older brother died in a tragic accident when he and Johnny were still just kids, and Johnny's dad never got over it and blamed him for it. The family was dirt-poor in the middle of the Great Depression, so it wasn't easy for them, and John struggled for years before being signed to Sun records (the same little record company that first signed Elvis Presley) and he toured for a long, long time, working hard to establish himself. His was no overnight success, and he had a hard time breaking into country music because his sound was so different, so "not Country". He paid for every drop of his fame in blood, sweat, and many, many tears and when he _finally_ became truly successful, he fell into the same pit that takes down so many artists with an addiction to alcohol and to some very hard drugs. It very nearly ended him, but he fought through it and came out the other side. By the time he covered "Hurt" and made this video, he had been diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease and given 18 months to live. He was in a wheelchair by the time of the video. When his wife died, she had made him promise to keep working, and he did, completing *60 songs in the last 4 months of his life*. He was a fighter, right up to the end.

[@espenvippen]

His last recording. Fantastic song. Which makes it even deeper. Greetings from Norway. 😀

[@JoyfulOrb]

Nine Inch Nails Trent Reznor said, after Johnny Cash covered it, The song is his now.

[@jesrush]

And it’s so true. It’s Johnny’s. RIP

[@NealStidham]

Yeah, some people and some songs just resonate so well that they belong together regardless of who created the song. Sinead O'Connor owns "Nothing Compares 2 U," Jimi Hendrix owns "All Along the Watchtower," and Johnny Cash owns "Hurt."

[@jesrush]

@@NealStidham truer words brah!✌️

[@Bekka_Noyb]

still prefer the NIN version

[@dillond4709]

Facts and it is

[@echopryme]

June is RIGHT THERE!!! She died a week after this was filmed... He followed her 2 months later... THIS holds a power that VERY FEW songs will ever hold!!!

[@Juan08135]

This song makes me cry so much my boy johnny cash never disappoints yes closing the piano me at exactly that. Read a little of his biography and you will understand why I cry so hard to this song

[@maingun07]

As a middle aged man, I can't listen to this song without tearing up. This song Hurts. I hopefully have a few more decades in front of me, but I know that more than half of my life is behind me. All of us make mistakes. All of us hurt those around us without meaning to. It's a testament to Love that they forgive you and that you can forgive others. But sometimes they don't forgive. Sometimes you don't see your mistake until it's far to late to fix it, the person that you hurt is long gone, too far in the past to say, "I'm sorry." I like to think that I've done more good in this world than harm, but the times that I did harm stay with me. The times that I said something that I shouldn't have echo in my brain. The times that I did the wrong thing for what I thought was the right reasons haunt me. Even the best of us can be jerks from time to time. And I've had my time. We learn by making mistakes and I believe I am far wiser now than what I was as a younger man, but we never grow as people unless we remember where we screwed up. There are two kinds of people, those that regret their mistakes, and those that aren't mature enough to recognize that they've made them. Think of how you want to be remembered and be that person. What we've accomplished is less important than how people remember us after we're gone. When Johnny's daughter heard this she said, "Dad, it sounds like you're saying goodbye." and Johnny said, "I am."

[@joes7111]

The older I get, the harder this song impacts me.

[@nunyab.9865]

This 💯 This song is about regret. Feeling like he didn't live a good life and he lost himself. Feeling like he made mistakes that he can never set right, feeling like he sold out. That's what he means by "my empire of dirt". All his fame and money means nothing in the end if he is full of regret, if chasing that meant losing his values. It's a tough song. I'm not even 40 and this song makes me evaluate who I might owe an apology to and what I might need to set right. It also brings into focus the legacy I want to leave when I go. This is a powerful song.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Very beautifully stated. Thank you. ❤️

[@alesiaking5578]

He had a wonderful family. Went to many AA meetings with him and his brother Tommy. What kind people they were and inspiring to people trying to quit their addictions. Thank God for them. 🙏

[@JoeSmith-ey2xp]

When he says "you stay away from me, you hear" it feels like he is talking to death.

[@2dashville]

Closing the piano was like closing the lid on a coffin.

[@edwardsummey8843]

When he closed the piano lid for this video, he never opened it again for the remainder of his life.

[@sallysharp3845]

That is his wife June Carter Cash, who is a Country Singer herself. She is a member of the Carter family which are considered the founding family of Country Music.

[@etopsirhc]

the original, trent's version was about the regrets of an angsty teen, stealing friends and family money for drugs, sleeping around, and just being a stupid rebellious kid. when cash covered it and took it over, he sung about his life, where he regrets where his priorities were, how he lived his life, and treated those around him. the closing of the piano was the closing of his life in music, and soon after his life itself. this song reminds me of two largest regrets i have, particularly the one i couldn't change, as the shock of what was happening left me blank, or empty. i just followed the instructions were yelled out, and went back to the camp site, when i should have stayed with him.

[@beno7238]

i have a hard time not crying when i watch this. Amazing how this was originally written from the point of view of a 25 yr old heroin addict. Johnny completely makes it his own. Truly one of the best covers ever done. Great choice brother!

[@nelgstuart3442]

This was his last statement, and you are right about the piano, the closing of his life. The man in black, the great Johnny Cash, LIVED that song.

[@Chuck-PK]

Whenever I listen to or even think of this song I always think about how much my Mom misses my Dad, and then how much my Dad missed his best friend Bela whom he escaped Communist Hungary with, and then how much I also miss my Dad and am going to miss my Mom, and my own best friend (depending on who goes first).

[@kidnebhagalandson7487]

I salute Bela and you’re dad. May they rest in peace (you’re mom also), until you meet them again.

[@slumberlisa]

I love you did this song. It's tough, but absolutely amazing!

[@HandleTakenlol]

Deep heartfelt truth from the man in Black himself, someone who's been there and done that. You are correct man life is very short. Make the most of the time we got cuz that is all we got. Johnny Cash was on a tour with Elvis Presley Buddy Holly when he was coming up, they all went across long before he did.

[@sidrat2009]

under-rated comment right here. The words sung by JC were from experience written by a young man society should be ashamed to have felt the heartache or experience to write it in the first place. Shame on us all. Aspire greater. Defend others. Smile to strangers so they become friends, Listen to friends so they become enriched in their self worth.

[@mikecaetano]

Johnny Cash jammed with Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis at Sun Records in the early years of rock and roll. He scored his first big hit in 1956 with "I Walk the Line". He released "Hurt" in 2002. Few artists were as authentic as Johnny Cash. He totally owns this Nine Inch Nails song. And that was a picture of his wife hanging on the wall. Her name was June Carter and she was country music royalty. June Carter was the daughter of Maybelle Carter, who sang and played guitar and banjo for The Carter Family, perhaps best know for popularizing "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" in 1935. For more from Johnny Cash, check out "Ring of Fire", "Rock Island Line", "Folsom Prison Blues", "Cocaine Blues", and "Jackson", a duet he sings with June Carter.

[@michaeldean846]

Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash around the mid 1950’s and belong to the same record label in Memphis just before Elvis’ career took off. Johnny’s oldest daughter Rosanne Cash had a number of country hits throughout the 1980’s

[@richardhargrave6082]

The way he shuts the piano lid at the end is saying to me "That's it, I'm done" The song is so good, but this cover and arrangement and video are mind blowing, it can't be done any better. Perfection.

[@andrewe2057]

His family actually saw this video and almost decided not to release it to the public because of how personal it was.

[@anthonycurby4606]

This video makes me almost cry. You can see his emotion in it

[@espenvippen]

This song was just before he passed away.. Love the reacting.

[@stephanietip]

Took me many years to not cry every time I hear this song.

[@Ray1969.]

Song was written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Johnny asked him if he could cover it. It was his goodbye

[@janiemingues1121]

salute ,,r.i.p. johnny

[@BIGBLOCK5022006]

Haze, Johnny also did a righteous cover of the Tom Petty song "I Won't Back Down" with Tom providing backing vocals, "Rusted Cage", "Personal Jesus", and "Bridge Over Troubled Water".

[@connergohlke3098]

Along with sea of heartbreak,tom petty,the heartbreakers and john were all reall good friends

[@frankiebowie6174]

I love your observation that you can’t feel sorry for him or feel pity because he did it on his terms. It’s all anyone can ask for, to go out on their own terms.

[@karenmikalofsky7996]

Great comments/reaction. For a fun side of Johnny Cash, A Boy Named Sue is excellent. To understand Johnny even more, Man in Black is a classic.

[@AnimeFreakX4]

The sad part of this not long after making this video he died. He lived a long crazy life and not long before that his wife died. He was lonely and had a bit of a drug problem and problems with the law. Once the orginal songs creator heard Johnny perform this song. He said this is his song now. That Johnny had a life time of pain that makes it just hit harder.

[@tommywoodfin1332]

He never opened the piano again after that shot

[@connergohlke3098]

If anyone had a right to do this song it was john,he was one who been around the block been there and dome that,this is like his goodbye song seeing as june,his wife who was on the stairs,passed shortly after the video,and john himself following her with merle haggard in the room

A lot of “reactors “ do this song as an introduction to J Cash. Big mistake! I love? this song it’s so fucking deep. But go back to his beginning- look up The Tennessee Three recorded at famous Sun Studio. Here’s one of his first hits “I Guess Things Happen That Way” kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5eUqH6Mm7GYaK8

This song is awesome,, it's a remake of Nine Inch Nails song, but Mr Cash struggled with addiction for many years. Please review disturbed 'reason to fight, it's deep and powerful too.

This is one of the few times when I have to say the cover (this one) is better than the original (Trent Rezner).

If you want something from the lighter side of Johnny Cash, you gotta check out "A Boy Named Sue."
