Original Song:
• Johnny Cash - Hurt

[@TheViralInfekT]

One hell of a farewell letter. The moment he closes the lid of the piano at the end kills me every time.

[@MooreCEJr]

Rumor has it was the last time he played that piano too.

[@donaldduck2139]

knocks me on my ass too...every time

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

It's like closing a casket

[@timometsanoja9666]

It is so sad when some reactors don't watch the video all the way through and miss this moment. It has so much to it that it gets you even after seeing this dozens of times... I don't know much about Cash, but this, this hurts...

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

@@timometsanoja9666 it's like in Monsters when reactors stop the video before James Blunt's dad gives James a comforting pat on the arm

[@jamesh2401]

This was filmed in February 2003. His wife, June Carter (seen standing behind him in the video), died in May that same year. Johnny died a few months later in September. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, the original songwriter, said after hearing the cover with it's accompanying video, "that song isn't mine anymore." The video was named the best video of the year by the Grammy Awards and CMA Awards, and the best video of all time by NME in July 2011. I personally fell on love with Johnny Cash through my grandfather, who used to sing rather well next to his record player, and Cash was among his most favourite artists. We will never have another like him, he was truly one of a kind.

[@bartonbagnes4605]

This was his farewell performance, he died not long after. He didn't write these lyrics, but he definitely lived them.

[@Kraakesolv]

For sure. It really could be his own words, his own story..well, it is. He just didn't, as you say, write them.

[@hakancarlsson2881]

He changed 1 word... 🤷

[@Gutslinger]

I disagree.. His actual "farewell performance" was a performance of "Ring of Fire" that his late wife June wrote. It was the last thing he performed. There's a video of it.

[@JawsVader1970]

To me he knew he was towards his end and it was.his broken heart ,but it wasn't his last performance, but he past within 2 weeks of the video

[@Gutslinger]

@@JawsVader1970 2 weeks of what video?

[@chadbennett7873]

The closing of the piano was significant because it is said he never opened it again. This was the last recorded music of his career.

[@rickcain4736]

I've always thought the closing of the piano represent the closing of a coffin...to me anyways

[@chadbennett7873]

@@rickcain4736 In a very real way it was. I have seen it that way as well. Nice point.

[@thomashoffmann3656]

I have seen dozens of reactions on this song. You are the first one who does not only mention the pouring of the wine, but who goes into a detailed analysis of it. For me this is the most heartbreaking scene in this video. The pouring of the wine is like he's pouring out his life on the table before the final curtain falls. It is also symbolizing that his fame, the money, the golden records he has gained is worth nothing in the end. I wonder why almost no-one has said anything on this little detail so far. The pouring of the wine is essential for me. And see his shaking hand as he does so. Heartbreaking.

[@IsaacDDuke]

@thomashoffman3656 and the absolute Christian implications of wine being poured out.

[@partridgepimp3363]

It reminded me of the last supper. With all that food on the table, but he is there all alone

[@johnsonpaul1914]

I am 77 years old and have watched this video many times. That closing of the piano has such a sense of finality to it it sucks the tears out every time. We go thru this life and do all these things and in the end wonder what was/is the point. That thought hits really hard

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

Even Trent said this deserves to be remembered as a Johnny Cash song.

[@James-iu2km]

No he didn't you lying prick, I've been keeping steadfast on Johnny Cash fans trying to take this from Trent. Trent did say that Cash: "Made it his own song", as in the sound, instruments, tone, etc. But "Hurt" *_SHOULD_* be remembered as Trent's Song, since... I don't know, it was *HIS LIFE* *_HIS_* troubles, *_HIS_* *GENIUS* that Wrote, Composed, Played and *_ACTUALLY_* lived it. Please correct me if I wrong and cite your source that Says Trent said it "Should be *_remembered_* as a Cash song"... cause close to if not *OVER* a decade ago It was reported that "Trent Reznor did a *_COVER_* of a Cash song" and I've been pissed about it since. Don't get me wrong, Love Mr. Cash, Love this performance, but I *REFUSE* to let the *FANS* of the more popular singer, *STEAL* the soul of Trent. It was TRENT'S *_EVERYTHING_* that made this song, Cash is just a *_similar_* person who loved *_TRENT'S_* song, and wanted to bring it to more people, *NOT* to take it, but to *SHARE IT!* Sharing... is caring....but Taking.... is *FAKING*

[@jessicakoster2543]

This is powerful because of regret. Everybody knows it, everybody feels it.

[@chriswhite2151]

The best video ever made. It still makes me cry. The contrast between a young vital man, on top of the world, and an old man near the end.

[@jorluo]

I'm 66 years old and I still find myself lying to myself that I'm pretty young, heh. Life has gone by so fast and the older you get the faster it seems to go. Where did all the years and decades vanish? All the people we lose as we get older. Family members, friends, our idols. Singers whose songs we've always listened to, actors we've watched in the movies all our lives, etc. - When you're younger, you don't think about these kind of things, but at some point you start to notice it around you.

[@charlesnowell9594]

I always saw him closing the piano at the end to be him closing the lid on a casket of his life and career.

[@Sabe53]

Yes indeed. I'm done.

[@TomTomson81]

Allegedly his daughter told him that this song sounds like a farewell. He said yes. Shortly thereafter, his wife died, and shortly thereafter, he died. The picture in the video is probably his mother.

[@Gutslinger]

So many people keep saying that, but can't get anyone to show me where she said that. I watched a documentary where she was interviewed, and she talks about them showing her this video and her crying, but she didn't say that.

[@daz_n]

@@Gutslinger I just read an interview with Kathy Cash from 2013 and she didn't say it in that either. "The first time he showed me “Hurt” was in his office. I just started crying and he asked, “What’s the matter, honey?” And I said, “It’s so sad but it’s beautiful!” He said, “Aw, that’s art! It’s part of life.” I said, “I know, but watching it is really hard.” He said, “Look at it from an artistic point of view.” He was trying to talk me out of being upset, but it’s hard to watch. That was obviously his goodbye song, he did record several after that, but that was hard. I still have a little trouble watching it." Actually Johnny himself said in 2003: "I certainly didn't want the piece to appear like a premature obituary," he said. "That wasn't the intention, and I hope the piece doesn't come across that way." 🤷‍♂

[@Gutslinger]

@@daz_n People attribute the exchange as being between him and his daughter Roseanne Cash. According to that quote you got from his other daughter, she viewed it as a "goodbye". But that last quote that you gave of Johnny seems to debunk that story that people keep repeating about him basically saying it was him saying goodbye. It reminds me of how LotR fans claim different allegories existing in the LotR, despite the writer Tolkien himself writing in the foreword of the 2nd edition that there aren't any, and that he despises allegories in all of its manifestations. A lot of people over-romanticize their interpretation of the Hurt video, given how soon Johnny passed afterwards. And they talk about it as if Johnny was a sad regretful man at the end of his life. When in actuality, if you watch late interviews of him, he's actually a very faithful man who was very much at peace.

[@daz_n]

@@Gutslinger Yeah I couldn't find anything attributed to Roseanne... Don't get me started on LOTR dude. 😂

[@Gutslinger]

@@daz_n 😆 I'm actually reading LotR for the first time, myself. Finally, after 20+ years. I'm only at the part where the fellowship is leaving Lothlórien.

[@briangreen9677]

You mentioned Johnny closing the lid of the piano. That shot was the last time he sat there playing that piano, and it was the last time he closed that lid. When it comes to me, I was raised listening to his music so I knew his songs well. I also listened to Nine Inch Nails (much to the annoyance of my parents) and knew Trent's work. When I heard this version by Johnny, I felt a loss of my grandfather. He was my world and no matter how bad things were, he'd tell jokes and do everything he could to put a smile on my face. So when I heard Johnny singing this song, it feels like it's my grandfather singing this song and it's emotionally crippling. I'm not one to get overly emotional, but this song breaks me. Thank you for taking the time to react to this song.

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

Thank you very much for sharing what this song means to you. I am sincerely sorry for your loss. I hope someday the song can feel less crippling and more like a balm. A glimpse of healing and hope. That he’s resting. That he’s ok and that you are ok too. Hold on.

[@dagfincarp1113]

Something that always grabs my heart with this video is Johnny's eyes. Looking inward, looking into the past, looking towards the inevitable end. You see it all in his eyes.

[@josephscally6270]

I am 73 and it have already started to deal with the idea that too many people are gone. I had a group of male friends, work friends 4 of them to be exact. We were friends even after we went our separate ways and our careers and now I'm the only one left. Pretty much everybody from the neighborhood I grew up in is gone. No my wife is seriously ill and we don't know how long we have left buried it's a strange experience getting old. It's not at all what I expected. And now it looks like I want to spend my final years alone. That stinks.

[@jsbcody]

You get to a certain age and you realize that Life is taking more than it is giving.

[@hernanv.2526]

… unless one has kids, grandkids or younger/other people one’s helping …

[@randallpetersen9164]

I'm not so young either. My wife and I often contemplate how much time we have left. It's something you don't do when you're young.

[@robertthebard]

This song hits way different than the original, because of the perspective. Originally it was a young man's perspective, but taking it in this context, where he's not looking forward to what's to come, but looking back at it, it just feels different. Different enough that Reznor said it wasn't his song any more, but Johnny's song. His daughter, after seeing the video, said it felt like he was saying goodbye, and he said that he was.

[@jeffmcclure4047]

House of Cash was a museum/office/studio owned by Johnny and June. I remember my father on vacation in the 70's pointing it out as we drove by and telling me about it

[@peterdobos1606]

the video combined with the life circumstances of both Cash and his wife make a perfect storm of emotional gut-punch here.

[@mynamesmiked]

This is a video that I absolutely cannot watch without breaking down, every time. So powerful.

[@matthewgoodA1206]

I consider this one of the most emotional videos to watch on KZbin. There are a handful that can really break your heart, and this is one. The song alone is so heavy with emotion and resignation, but then the video presents such a powerful visual crescendo, before finally breaking to leave only his voice and a piano to close for good.

[@IsaacDDuke]

Yes. This and Hi Ren and S….ide. Thos’ll get ya.

[@crankyyankee7290]

very right, Go Rest High On That Mountain by Vince Gill hits very hard as well..

[@user-dw9bd5lp4y]

I think the house he visits and looks in the window was his actual childhood home but anyone correct me. Masterpiece doesn't begin to describe this. This is the most human and honest piece of music of any genre I have ever hear.

[@dmike03]

Anymore, happiness for me is like a dream. You get a few small, fragmented pieces of memory that no matter how hard you try hold on to it, it's gone!

[@clasmaster1471]

It’s an amazing video. Rick Rubin came and sat down with Johnny and did this video. That’s why it is what it is. This was straight Rick Rubin work

There's very few people I have more respect than Johnny Cash. He turned his life away from all that was bad. Found the love of his life, found faith in God, loved his country and loved the down trodden everywhere in the world. In a way he became part of the conscience of our country, and became an American Legend. We're all better off for the life he lived and music he left to nurture and guide us. If you have never seen the YT video of Johnny singing Kris Kristofferson's song "Sunday Mornin' Comin" Down" Holy smokes what a song of lyrics and sung as only Johnny could sing it. Simply incredible.

This is a song about regret. I thin it means something different to Johnny Cash than it does Trent Reznor, but for Cash, it's about his lifetime of addiction and how it hurt everyone around him.

[@MetalMann-de3xi]

There is no difference in meaning other than one being in the middle of his life and the struggle with addiction, and the other being at the end of his life beyond his addiction but lives in regret. Also the only other difference is that musically, Trent's, to me, sounds more disconnected and unresolved as intended, which is why people can't digest it very easily. It's the last track on The Downward Spiral. Johnny's sounded more "comfortable" and ended with resolve. I do enjoy Johnny's version, but Trent's has a lot more meaning that most people miss.

[@nealm6764]

@@MetalMann-de3xi Johnny moved it so far beyond addiction. It is a man at the end of his life looking back and realizing all that he thought was important in fame and success meant very little. Remembering all that he lost and those who are gone etc. Trent was too young for all of that.

[@MetalMann-de3xi]

@@nealm6764 You really have no clue what Trent's version actually means. Both of these songs represents the end of life. One was old age and the other is suicide. It's not JUST addiction. The Downward Spiral is a concept album with the whole story behind it. "Hurt" is the final song of the album.

[@MPDSR422]

Darlin’, the emotion is nailed by his performance and his life really makes the lyric hit home. Trent Reznor wrote the song and released it with his band Nine Inch Nails in 1995. It was written during a time when he was suffering from depression. Trent and David Bowie performed it on their tour in the late 1990’s. The song is even more haunting. Trent, who became a film composer has performed the song as a piano piece. Cash was the perfect artist to see the song as the roadmap of his past life.

You should check out the original song live from "nine inch nails" the man who accually went though all this pain as a young man. I think the song works for John as well as an older man. The last line really works for Trent since he was a much younger man at the time and had time "to find a way"

[@evanirvana500]

This was simply his farewell. This was an old man at the end of his life, something all of us will be someday. reflecting on memories, regrets on everyone you hurt, the fame was his dream once but it changed him to something he didn't like.vthe best line is the last. If he could go back he'd keep himself. In other words, don't sell your soul because it's all you have at the end.

Another goodbye song is “I’m not going to miss you” by Glen Campbell. His last recording due to Alzheimer’s. It’s heart wrenching also.

This video almost didn't get made. They didn't realize the museum was in such disrepair, and Johnny was too tired and sick that day to do much filming. That's why there's so much other footage from old movies, etc. - they just didn't have the coverage. Brilliant choice by the director.
