Johnny Cash - Hurt

Never did drugs or even a little drop of alcohol. From my14 years until nowadays i kept smoking regular cigarettes. My addiction never caused no harm except to me. But this song always reminds me about things that i`ve done and i`m not proud about them . Unecessary revenges, lies , swindles in which i played a role. Most of times, it was just to survive, specially in my job, but not only in it. One way or another it was always to survive, but i wasn`t as brave AS i could be.

[@murraystewartj]

@Bloodyrebel I just found this song and have listened to both versions. i think I relate more to Johnny's take - because at my age I'm closer to the end than the beginning. I still struggle to deal with the "pain/guilt/regret" stuff while trying to remember the good stuff I've done in my life. But Johnny Cash's take on this song is a gut punching make me bawl like a baby masterpiece. Anyone, whether or not they have substance issues, who listens to this piece and is not moved to some self reflection is not human.

Awesome quote. Thanks for sharing.

Very relevant quote in today's world as the radical lefties are taking over society as a result of the good people living by that statement.

these are lyrics from the Dax song searching for a reason "Trust gets you killed, love gets you hurt Bein' real gets you hated, so tell me what it's worth" literally took half a minute to search, stop lying on the internet for attention

At 67 years old and having lost both my parents, father in law, and my best friend I find myself reflecting back more and more these days. I can feel his pain when he sings! Maybe we should all try to be a little more kind to those we love, life is much too short!

At 42 youngest of 8. I had heart attack. Widow maker as Drs told me after. I'm lucky to be alive. Only 12% make it. I'm thankful to be alive. I've busted my ass since I could remember. Have had success business last 20 years. But with that caused a lot of pain, lonely ness. I know the pain and regret he sings in song. I don't know if I have I have much time left. I retired and trying to spend time with my family.

Nine Inch Nails song- Johnny covered it...and Cash's is better!

[@christiekel2578]

@johnboi6916 Maybe Trent Reznor (NIN) was referring to a specific person in his life. (Originally written and performed by Nine Inch Nails.) Their video is super creepy to the point it could give some people nightmares...so- in response to the comments above mine- yes. It sounds very profound coming from Johnny. And maybe that was his take on his own life.
