Johnny Cash -Hurt

[@powwowdoc]

This is an older man's song especially if you lived your time a bit wild and off center. You find yourself remembering, reflecting,regretting and so much more. There's a time when sickness and death is all around you and the memories come without bidding or welcome. I hope Mr Cash has found his peace. If he has, maybe the rest of us will as well.

[@ianhawdon3680]

[@proteus244]

Wow... I don't know what to say other than I'm there in the same place you are. I just hope we did enough good in this life...

[@garyslater1243]

The fragility of life in 4 minutes of music. Deeply, deeply moving !

[@marlenepini1449]

I´m from brasil and love country music. In my opinion, Johnny Cash wasn`t last american man, was last world man. His story, talent, sensibilite...how speak here in brasil ...saudades

[@benstrubel4259]

Hurt was the last parting gift of the man in black

[@clivehoskin7254]

You will be sadly missed,John

[@davidworthington293]

[@elizabethlaubhan474]

Love it so much. Sometimes I feel that way too.

[@Doxutube1]

Johnny sang my life & in the process he saved my life....I regret the time I was in a boat on Henderson lake and we pulled up to Johnnys' dock....I was too afraid to go up and knock on his back door to tell him how much he meant to me....I wish I had. I hope to meet him in heaven someday....just to shake his hand.

No god no heaven no hell. Time to grow up child.

Yes God. Yes Heaven. Yes Hell. Get wisdom my child (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Much agreed! I honestly can't think of any other video that comes close. Greatness in Black!

[@michelle88960]

Totally agree with you. I have told so many people about this video and how sad and powerful it is. From the images to his voice it is heartbreaking and makes me cry. Best video on You tube.

[@snakey973]

Johnny Cash got my attention when I was about 5. My family didn't listen to country, but I heard it somewhere else. I would sing on my slide two of his songs. He made such an impression on a small child. I loved June & Johnny. They were what we call "good people!"

[@livlikearockstar]

My favorite singer of all time. I may be 30 but Johnny Cash is amazing to me. Love this guy... May he rest in peace.

Johnny Cash will be missed. Peace and Love to all.

[@reycolon48]

Rip Johnny you'll be missed your music will never die

[@BuckyLastard]

He was a genuine troubadour, a bona fide minstrel, telling and re-telling the stories of our lives, what we wish were our lives or sometimes the stories that shouldn't be part of anyone's lives but become so due to our human nature and the choices we make. He fully embodied our human spirit, and we're richer for his life and what he has left behind. I only hope I to touch anyone the way his music has touched me.

[@MrJohndahle]

What a beautiful Man. Role model all my life. The talent, the truthfulness, the spiritual side. The ruggedness, just the soul you felt along with the humor. Just a beautiful portrait of how to be a man, for me growing up and watching him. He was my Dads best buddy...like an uncle...Out in the garage with my Dad and Johnny Cash playing all through my childhood. Molded my life. What an honor to live while he did.

[@yayabrazie]

I've listened to a lot of music in my young life. I went to the rock n roll hall of fame because of AC/DC! I loved it. I waslked up stairs and this video was playing and the POWERFUL lyrics and pain in this song grabbed me. It is the most beautiful song and video I've ever seen. I'm currently reading a bio on Johnny cash. Just WOW. I'm so impressed. What a talented man!!! 👍❤

[@saab93contdi]

I used to listern to Johnny Cash with my Dad 38 years ago... I am now 45 and now appreciate the work that Johnny did and to the musical taste my Dad had until his own death in 2004. RIP Johnny.

[@gacj2010]

God hold him now... and he is ever so content and with the greatest of peace.

[@Bregh]

In my tradition, today is the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed, and this video showed up in my recommended feed--an artist I grew up listening to as a boy, and as a man, and whose gifts I have been blessed to share with my children, the eldest of whom wasn't quite yet a year old when Johnny Cash passed into the rest and care of his God. His music has been with me and people important to me in good time and in bad. I am grateful to have encountered this part of his story today, told by the people who loved him, and to the God who thought enough of the rest of us to put Johnny here, and to Johnny for his courage in sharing some of the best part of himself with us as a result. Trent Reznor composed a powerful song from his place of personal darkness, and Johnny took that darkness, some part of which he shared or recognised, too, and didn't flinch from it, but instead dragged it out into the light and, by some measure, vanquished it. Maybe nobody else but him could've done that, but even if it were possible, I'm still glad he was the one who did. We remember those who served faithfully in their generation, and beg grace to follow in their steps.

[@tabre]

I'm a 24 year old man and I would like to think I'm a pretty tough guy, but I can not watch that music video and hold back the tears. EXTREMELY powerful song and video.

J. Cash was an excellent song writer, musician, and had a true ear for music. Without him Rock N Roll wouldn't be what it is today. Sleep Well Mr. Cash Sleep well.

[@s70rk]

R.I.P. Johnny & June I love Johnny Cash's work, and I love the song "Hurt". And I have to agree with WZGRikkert, "There will never be someone like him!" Thanks for sharing the video!

I love NiN and Johnny Cash as well but the video of him singing this is by far my favorite ever. I cry every time I see it and can only imagine the pain it brings to his children.

[@whisky110]

I shot the Roseanne interview for this and to the best of my knowledge it's not been released as a dvd, but it does 'repeat' every so often on BBC-4. And may I say it was a pleasure to meet Roseanne Cash.

[@bradbray1737]

Anytime I/we watched Johnny Cash, we all smiled. Why? Because we knew that everything he did or said was from a very REAL place in his own life and in his heart. He was REAL. Period. He did not pretend to be anything but himself, warts and all, both good with the bad. He was HONEST and it came out through his music, in honesty of his own messes and pleasures in life, honest with injustice in the world, just plain honest...and real...always real. So many artist today, it seems, hide behind a facade of their or corporate making. He was the opposite. One of the most amazing and powerful artist I have ever seen and heard.

[@denisepickering9309]

Very powerful song.i have watched many times. Lived his life for sure. He found his soul mate and his songs were amazing. True grit. Hard as nails soft as butter. .

[@MrAirportDave]

Thanks for posting this. Hurt is such a powerful video, truly his last farewell, yet Johnny's family and friends manage to graciously fill in all the remaining details for all of us. What a great tribute. He was one of a kind and is missed.

[@andyx181x]

its takes a lot of guts for someone to literally sing about their end of fame and life, johnny cash was a man who defined multiple genres. and showed real love in a marriage, he died after june left cause he couldn't live without her; god rest his sould

[@bobyoung9933]

Even after all these years....I weep every time I watch that video. May I see you at the resurrection Achi! You transcend genres of music, races of men, financial classes, religious proclivities and generations of humanity! I love both of you and I have since I was a child growing up , running through the woods in Georgia. Remember: the Messiah and Torah are meant to be accepted together! Shalom y'all!

[@jvmalum]

Reminds me so much of my dad. A inspirational man from 1930's Kentucky, full of vigor right up until the end and the he left this life so gracefully. Rest up n peace dad and Johnny, I'll see ya when I get there😀

[@donb3557]

There aren't many entertainers who can go from this world and leave us with something so powerful, the voice may be frail, the body growing weak but the radiance emanating from Cash is strong as it ever was. Praise too for a magnificent lyric and skilfully made video.

[@jmurray01]

In the 1960s Johnny did a lot of things that he no doubt regretted deeply. Drugs, alcohol, women et al. Like Barbara said, it's not the way she would like to remember Johnny, nor is it the way I or any other fan would like to remember him, but it is the truth and he expressed it so well. Rest in Peace John, through everything you were still an amazing singer, songwriter and above all - person.

[@hugoagogo4324]

Johnny inspired me more than any other musician he's sang about the reality of life and the pain that follows us as we have this human experience in this world he's now home with June and the ever loving father God bless you Mr cash

[@michaelhulsey201]

Johnny understood regret, and why it's powerful and necessary. It is a teacher. It is a strengthener. Johnny was wise and strong because he felt that hurt. He made this song his because his life mirrored the words Trent wrote. Even approaching death, Johnny took inventory of his life and deeds, and he felt sorrow for the mistakes. This was song was his last confession. We need know no more. May he rest in eternity in peace.

[@Mawgrim]

His interpretation of Hurt and the documentary really touches one inside. One can see he was a great man, that he was real, and that is a very rare thing to see, a man who truly spoke from his heart and soul.

[@PrinceDavid]

Honestly this is the best music video ever made. My heart is wrenching..

[@Hirtlemabob]

Johnny Cash Will Never Be Forgot I love this song play it all the time on the guitar

[@thelt1971]

Hurt was very powerful and I am sure it means different things to people but some of the things it means to me are: John was willing to show his frail health and aged appearance to the world. Most celebrities would never do this. John had lived a life of wealth and fame but at the end of it none of that mattered much to him, God and family were much more important. John could take a song from a completely different genre of music and make it into his song. John knew his death was coming but he was willing to take it head on. Most people do not even want to think about their own mortality but he made a music video about it. His message was to stay true to yourself and what you know is right rather than chase money or fame because in the end none of that stuff will matter to you when your days are becoming short.

[@Profmorphious123]

J Cash Was For Real.

[@ironwolfgaming9632]

Recall John was very religious.When he says I will let you down, I will make you hurt. He mean Jesus, he will let him down and had made him hurt over the things Johnny had done.

I think Trent was honored to have Johnny Cash choose his song to represent his passing. Johnny Cash was always very eclectic in his musical tastes, and I love that he didn't quit being that way right up to the end. I'm positive that Mr. Resnor believes John did him proud.

[@curtisfranks1556]

I love NIN. I love Johnny Cash. The first time I heard this version it hit me like an asteroid hitting the surface of the Earth. It was with same kind of mover and shaker kind of force. It recognized the same HURT and sadness within me. When it was over with I was inconsolable. I still get that way. For me there is no other song like it.
