Johnny Cash - Hurt REACTION | Opera Singer Reacts LIVE

John R. Cash (February 26, 1932 - September 12, 2003) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. Much of Cash's music contained themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption, especially in the later stages of his career. He was known for his deep, calm bass-baritone voice, the distinctive sound of his Tennessee Three backing band characterized by train-like chugging guitar rhythms, a rebelliousness coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor, free prison concerts, and a trademark all-black stage wardrobe which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black". Juilliard trained opera singer, Maggie Reneé, reacts to Johnny Cash covering the song 'Hurt', which was originally recorded by Nine Inch Nails and was written by Trent Reznor for their second album, The Downward Spiral in 1994.

Trent Reznor was quoted as saying, "I was born to write this song, he (Johnny Cash) was born to sing it."

[@youn1700]

The song has quite a different meaning when sung by Trent Reznor vs Johnny Cash... Trent's version is a sad version that tells about the hardships of drug addiction and when Johnny sings the song it has more a meaning of a hard lived life that is near it's end. I love both versions.

[@aronp7097]

Rick Rubin's the man!!! 🔥🔥

[@PeteBaldwin]

You're right but ultimately, those who understand music production are past simply giving him credit.... It's like giving Muhammad Ali credit for being a good boxer. If you look at the list of albums Rubin has produced, it speaks for itself. An utterly incredible music producer across so many genres.

[@kevsim70]

I actually saw Nine Inch Nails perform this on the Downward Spiral tour back when it first came out. This cover does what all the best covers do: completely re-imagines the song and turns it into something all his own. Truly incredible. Before I heard this, I could never have imagined Johnny covering this, but once I did, I couldn't imagine him *not* doing it.

[@Green-Lyon]

Johnny's family were not completely keen at first to hear he was going to do this song, feeling that it was really really close to the bone. Seeing the look of concern on his wife June's face, she who had literally come down the stairs to check on him, always breaks me.

[@SBQDawn]

I was 6 years old when my parents took me to a Johnny Cash show (with the Statler Brothers as well as June Carter-Cash and her family) after the show we were in line for photos and autographs when I made a bee line for the stage area my parents chasing after me set to apologize but John just scooped me up on to his lap laughing as I tucked my head under his chin and snuggled right in to stay he didn't get mad he didn't yell at anyone he just chuckled and said in an off hand way over his shoulder to his wife "hey June I think we've got another girl" she laughed and said well John I reckon' we got room she winked at my parents so they never did get mad at me I remember feeling safe loved and how his voice sounded rumbling up in his chest he then made sure that the rest of the performers met me I got hugs from everybody thus began my abiding love for deep voices kind eyes quick laughs I'm 55 and remember how it felt there's no one like John

[@tonynorman6642]

@@StevenEverett7 that's very true. They did an amazing job

[@larryh7760]

The video clips were a combination of his music videos, clips from concerts, his TV show, and his movies. He was quite a druggie in his younger years until June helped him get straight. He grew up hard and poor. His older brother died in a sawmill accident when they were young. He had ditched working and went fishing instead leaving his brother working alone. A lot of experiences that made him the legend he was. BTW, his daughter Roseanne Cash is an outstanding singer/songwriter herself.

[@chewee2k]

"Broken thoughts I cannot repair" is such a powerful statement. Creates significant melancholy for people as they approach their "twilight years."

"That song isn't mine anymore." - Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails

[@robotusan]

I think the thing that gets me the most is the chorus "and you can have it all. My empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt." Johnny is probably the greatest country artists ever, and among the greats of all musical history. He is an icon; a legend. He is idolized by both fans and musicians around the world. But to him, it's an empire of dirt. Because behind the facade of glamour and fame, he knew how screwed up he was; how much he failed as a human. And if we were to ever see the real him, we would be let down. He's come to that realization in his life.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Wow! That was like a confession... with June looking over his shoulder... and an abundant feast in front of him, which he did not appreciate. He was confessing his sinful past (with flashes of Jesus on the cross suffering the judgment against mankind) as he realized none of his fame and fortune meant anything (dirt) compared to being in right standing with God. Oh, so touching!

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

I've probably watched this 20 times. I think it's the most powerful music video ever made. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails wrote the song about addiction. Johnny took it and made it bigger. He made it about the empty illusion of fame. When he sings "You are someone else, I am still right here". He's not referring to us as the "Someone", he is talking about his famous "image" as an entertainer and that it is not the "real" him. The woman in the photo is his Mom. His wife June Carter Cash is the lady on the stairs. Her look as he sings his heart out shows such beautiful concern for her man it touches my heart every time. I think they both died a few months apart after this video was filmed, so yes it is a great and touching finale to his legendary career. Can't watch it without tears of joy. It's so beautiful.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your lovely comment. 😊

[@juliestevens6931]

I saw another commenter say that the shots of June were not planned. She just happened to come down the stairs to see what Johnny was doing and they filmed it and kept it as it fit so well.

[@jeanblythe1595]

@@juliestevens6931 She was several years older than Johnny, and not in good health at the time. She passed 3 months after this video was recorded, and Johnny could only hold on 4 months beyond that.

What is really amazing is that at this point he has lost most of his vocal abilities due to age but is still able to sing what is probably his most emotional performance of his career.

[@toodlescae]

A few months after this June passed then 4 months after her Johnny passed so this really was his goodbye. Closing the piano was almost prophetic.

[@christophertaylor9100]

He knew. And it was so sad

[@timothybuell3314]

The reason these older performers were so emotive, and the way they became legends, is because they HAD to connect with their audience, or they wouldn't have a career. In addition, they didn't really make that much money, so a lot of times, they were living right on the edge. Johnny had a lot of demons and it took a lot to overcome those. I firmly believe, after watching and reading about his life, that if he hadn't met June Carter when he did, he probably would not have survived the 60's. June became his Rock and did all she could to keep him on the straight and narrow. At least that's the way I interpret what I've read about it.

[@beeg56]

I've seen a zillion of Cash's 'Hurt' videos over time. Every six months or so, seems I watch another night's worth. I very much appreciate the professional gravitas you bring to your reaction, Maggie. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course, and almost every opinion re this song is emotional and real. Few, tho, are laced with both real emotion and sterling expertise. I'll def check out more of your videos. Thank you for this. Also... I love the juxtaposition of the emotional fullness of his memories - such as looking through the windows of the small house he grew up in, where he has what almost seems like muscle memory when he reaches up to pick an apple as he disappears around the house's corner - against the emotional sterility of the table laden with the very finest delicacies, located inside almost ostentatiously extravagant rooms, which is definitively part of his now-recognized "empire of dirt." Also... When he's pouring the wine, his hand is so shaky, and we can 𝒔𝒆𝒆 the sheer weight of his life's choices and excesses and 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐟𝐟 just pressing in... And then there's that cut to him in his youth, happy, hopeful, hopping a train so agilely, just him, his jacket, and guitar... And back to the excesses. Guts me every time.

[@wilshade]

I remember, as a kid, watching the Johnny Cash Show on television. As I remember it, his show was the most comfortable thing for me to watch. I was about 10 then. His simple opening every week, "Hello. I'm Johnny Cash," stuck with me the rest of my life. To this day, when I see a grandiose stage entrance, I think back to The Johnny Cash Show and just chuckle at the frivolity of that performer.

[@andywalker8064]

A musical goodbye from a giant in American music, and a goodbye like no other we're ever likely to experience again. So beautiful. So heart-stirring. And so appropriately demonstrating why and how he made the impact that he did for so long and for so many. Loved your reaction and your respect for a truly legendary performer.

a lot of newer singers seem to have perfected their singing voice in a way that people in the past hadn't, but in a very sanitized way, like if a computer could sing and hit all the right notes. But they seem to have forgotten that art is supposed to evoke an emotion more then be pretty. Cash and Parton weren't the best technical singers but could put their entire person into a song and pull out all the emotions of the people that hear them. I've heard this song so much now, and I cry everytime, you feel as much as you hear Cash sing this song.

I loved the clip from his appearance as the killer in an episode of "Columbo". Johnny was a fine actor as well.

This song really could have been written about Johnny's life.

That house was where Johnny was born/raised. You can never go back home. It's gone but the memory.

[@johnnieangel99]

The closing of the piano is such a metaphor for saying goodbye. I remember my last teacher taking the time to translate pieces into English so I could understand the lyrics better. Thank you Barb Wise I never finished where we both had hoped I would. But I took what you taught me and I enjoyed the journey

John presented his life in a way that provokes reflection for one's self.

[@perrylc8812]

Johnny singing this is gold but adding the video took it to platinum. Jonny sings everything in a personal manner.

This about a life of sorrow and regrets. It is about him stripping down to his bare self. This is a goodbye. It is haunting and honest. Just beautiful.

[@Skwisgar2322]

Every aspect of this was truly inspired, the performance, production and the video combine to make a masterpiece out of a cover.

[@taylorshaw4406]

💔 this song gets me every time this was his last song before he passed away what a absolute legend in the music industry!!

At last: a reaction video by someone who articulates reflections with subtlety and nuance, but also in an assured and confident manner. Thank you.

Trent Rezner said Johnny Cash version is incredible and the song is his...He actually died not long after this song...this is an incredible cover and it hits home...i feel he knew he was dying, this is why he did the song the way he did......

[@adwenb]

Brings a tear every time.

[@Malbeefance]

Trent's lyrics are incredible, deep, powerful. Johnny singing, knowing his history, puts the song's message on a whole new level that I cannot put in ti words.

[@trialbyfirepyrography321]

There is so much emotion, experience and wisdom in this song. You just feel each and every word. He truly was a legend.

[@rickthompson3268]

Johnny Cash is a true legend in the music industry

[@mikebunner3498]

I read in the comment section of a video that when Johnny's daughter heard this she said it sounds like you are saying good bye. John told her "I am!" Heartbreaking!!!! This is Johnny's song now!!!!

[@richardfox1605]

His closing of the piano hood is like he is saying goodbye to an old cherished friend

[@timwhite5562]

I love the guitar feedback that comes in and out around 7:40.

[@michaelcastillo3231]

I honestly don’t think any other artist could sing this song and make it work as much as Cash.

[@kbbeers4274]

Brings me to tears every time I hear it.

[@GregRohr]

Wonderful. I remember seeing this video when it was new, and just being blown away ... I love these reaction videos, feeling like I'm sharing that experience. I'll see you over there, Johnny. 💔
