I love that the last of us is the background. This song goes so well

[@BeyondTheGuitar]

right? my thoughts exactly!

[@joxerd]

The Last of Us, Walking Dead Telltales, Batman TAS and Batman Beyond.

[@ZioFeda]

Pretty sure there were some scenes from Logan in there too!

[@theomike8668]

I usually don't promote my content, but I made a montage of the last of us with "Hurt" as the song! Check it out if you want!:)) Also very emotional cover @Beyond The Guitar! Amazing work!

[@thelegionmatt5705]

I love this video for that exact reason

[@DonBlackBird71]

Logan introduced me to this. Now I have a seperate Johnny Cash playlist.

Let me guess, very young person?

[@DonBlackBird71]

@@kenz2756 well, yeah. You're right. But I got introduced to absolute treasure and I'm really quite proud of it. Cash's music is absolute Bliss

[@pioneerpassenger]

That's really neat! A lot of my favorite songs/artists I've learned about through movies like that :D

[@undercover_matin]

Wrestlemania 26 and undertaker introduced me to this song

[@quickdiy8127]

It's a nine inch nails song cash covered in 2006 to be more inline with the cool kids millennials And gen x

[@captaines5726]

I feel like Hurt is one of those songs that when you first hear it, it seems overly simple and the lyrics don't resonate, but after you age a little and live through some of what life throws at you, you hear this song again and its hard to make it all the way through without crying. At least thats how it was for me.

that went thru my head watching this and i started looking thru the comments to see if anyone else had realized that.

[@TrevorHadley]

the song gets better when you listen to the original song nine inch nails verson and then johnny cash version with knowing why Johnny Cash covered the song, he said in an interview that he heard the song and thought it sounded like regrets of an old person.

[@AcousticOST]

That run at 2:34😱😱😱. This arrangement is incredibly beautiful…I’m gonna have to listen to this some more

Man, right in the feels!

[@alexassenza976]

My very best friend and brother from the marines lost his battle with ptsd a few years ago and took his own life. This just made me break down and cry a bit..I miss him so much and you gave me a little bit of him back for a moment..thank you for this beautiful cover ✌️

[@magicalemmarose]

My goodness, what a gift. An incredible song and your cover goes right into the heart of it. Thank you SO much, Nathan. ❤❤

[@JoshGUITARofolo]

The melody in the bass with the chords/harmony on the top was such a good idea; very true to how low and steady Cash sang.

[@caryssahayward6910]

Hearing you play this reminds me so much of my father who passed away in 2019. He loved Johnny Cash and played this song specifically so often as a warm up for further playing on his accoustic. Thank you so much for this

[@pirate_duck4985]

This song always hits different, be it the original or the Cash version an absolutely masterful cover itself. The way you make that guitar sing & cry, was incredible honestly. Writing this comment with a tear in my eye, bravo good sir.

[@rinkubalabehera2358]

I can't believe this song this song is very very very nice I love this song very nice

[@tylerlane4587]

Got out of the military and lost a few friends. So the part of everyone I know goes away in the end breaks me into tears

[@downhill240]

Breathtaking. This song has resonated in my spirit ever since I first listened to Cash perform it. It still makes me tear up. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@jtbproductions7415]

How has this channel not reached 1 million? This music is beautiful and the way Nathan covers these songs are phenomenal!

Like him I too first heard the song in the trailer of Logan

[@alessiobandella978]

Logan and Joel share many traits and I love them both ❤️ You made a great job man!

[@TheLineCutter]

I learned this song when one of the family cats died when I was 16. Such a precious and sweet cat. I had put all my mourning into it. Now, whenever I hear this song that moment is relived. I love how beautiful this rendition was. It made the little throwback to that moment in my childhood very beautifull.

If Johnny Cash was still alive the music industry would be different. RIP Johnny Cash, your music is stuck with us in our hearts and heads forever, Fly High 🕊🕊

I’m glad everyone here thanks Johnny Cash for this song. Cash thanked Trent Reznor for it as it is a Nine Inch Nails song. Even the greats show respect for other artists. I suggest you all do the same. Great cover bte

[@nishantgarg3688]

Thanks

[@leonfrost6438]

Dude that was so good. At the beginning i thought: ,, Oh well, a next solid good Arangement, like expected" but then at 2:02 I was like: ,, Damn. Hold on. That´s getting too emotional now" xd. Pls keep up the good arangements. Those are nothing more than blessings for us all. If you are considering of other emotional pieces then soundtracks from naruto (Shippuden) is a good source. I don´t know if you are familiar with them but soundtracks like Minato saves Kushina, Shirohae, Peaceful, Mountain Haze, Obito´s Death Theme, Kimimaros Theme, Determination or others just hitting different.

[@johnrisley5338]

Absolutely incredible!! Purchasing your sheet music once I don’t suck as bad.

[@jesseklassen7463]

Effortlessly incorporates harmonics into his arrangements. Beautiful work

[@ekdavis]

You do this in all your covers, but in this one, it feels like there is even more intention and emotion in every note played. It really shows how you're thinking of the story of this song. I love all your songs, but I could listen to this one over & over again. Thank you for telling a story with your music; your work comes through to us.

[@donedonager6322]

I can’t help getting the feeling that Johnny Cash would be very pleased with this

[@puffdufftv1904]

It might have been me imagining things but in any case, i have never heard a guitar sing like that. Amazing cover!

[@LiveEnd06]

Very pretty brightness for the upper octave notes which intrigues me as a guitarist and the way you sound the melody so expressively in the lower octave is very skilled. Many cheers!

[@crazybox87]

Great sound! I can't even imagine how to achieve the same sound. I understand that both the instrument and the technique of performance here, but still for me it is something magical.

[@elvivas]

*This song has meant a lot to me for years when Logan trailer came out, which was one of my Favorite Superheroes, and when I saw the movie I realized the Resemblance it had with one of my Favorite Videogames as for many of course, The Last Of Us, but for me thanks to that I was able to meet two of the best musicians I have seen in my life, Johnny Cash and Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor) because Trent Reznor wrote the song and Johnny Cash made his own version and the two versions were very good, but Trent Reznor when he heard the version of Johnny Cash he realized that this was no longer his song, this is what Hurt means to me, R.I.P Johnny Cash a Legend To Me.*

I understand why people refer to this as a Cash song, but I REALLY with they would refer to it as both NIN and Cash in their titles/discriptions.

@@gospyro Agreed. It's the same for scores of songs people refer to as this artist or that artist but not by the original artist.

"I wasn’t prepared for what I saw, and it really then, wasn’t my song anymore." Trent Reznor on hearing Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt".

@@gospyro well it's clearly a cover of the Johnny cash version, he's not trying to emulate the NIN original.
