Johnny lost his eldest brother in a tragic accidrmt as a child, his father blamed him for living. Johnny became an addict when he entered the music industry in his twenties, his wife June got him clean. It was a life long struggle. When Johnny knew June was dying, he recorded this song. He died a couple months after she passed. This was his song to June.

Not quite true, but it sounds good

@jamesfitzgerald6636. What's not true about it?

[@let_your_weird_light_shine_2.0]

You left out the part where he cheated on his first wife with June and then abandoned her and their children to go be with June. His first wife always gets over looked, but he hurt her more than anybody in his life. I'd like to think he was remorseful of that...

When Trent Reznor (lead singer of Nine Inch Nails) heard Johnny’s cover, he said “it’s his song now”. RIP to a legend. For my money, the essential Johnny Cash song is the live version of Folsom Prison Blues. I’ve never been a country fan but Johnny has a special place on my play list. Edit: You had me revisit his discography....”God’s Going to Cut You Down” is the way to go for the channel.

Trent said that after he watched the video and not his first listen. Trent did not like the version at first . Look it up

[@theroachden6195]

@@tex10krunner that is correct. He said something about the way it sounded without video he didn't like it. He was still honored by Johnny covering it, but when he saw the video he realized it was Johnny's song.

Hey Brian, did you know this was the 2nd time another band had to consider their song to belong to Cash? When Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers heard Johnny's version of, "Won't Back Down" he said "Well, the song belongs to him now."

That's his wife June Carter Cash on he stairs, a country star in her own right, she died soon after this was done and he followed a few months later, you want to check out the 2 of them singing "Jackson" which I saw once, they tear it up but good. Johhny Cash cannot be confined to one genre, the man is in the country hall of fame, rock and gospel hall of fame and songwriters hall of fame, he is the very definition of rebel.

Johnny Cash was an addict. The woman in the video is his wife June Carter Cash, the love of his life. He inspired many country singers to pursue their dreams. In fact, Merle Haggard, another legendary country music singer was in prison when Johnny Cash came to play there. He decided to stay straight and pursue his musical career. Many musicians who do not sing country music were also huge fans of his. RIP Johnny Cash❤️😔

[@christinegelabert1651]

@@SwaggyReacts He DID play this song prior to doing this video for his daughter. Sge said to him....it sounds like you are saying goodbye to us~he said YES I AM. When Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails saw tgus video and heard his verson. He said this is no longer MY song~it belongs TO Johnny now. The woman you see in the frame on the wall wearing the red shirt that is HIS WIFE'S MOTHER who had passed on years ago. He chose to put her photo in the video because over the years they hsd become very close. His wife has died soon after this video came out. Johnny actually WAS VERY ILL while producing this video. He had dealt with depression in his life. Also he has been an alcoholic and addicted to pills earlier in his career. He'd also some time in jail and did a song about it and went back and did a CONCERT inside of the prison years later. That's why you see the jail reference of the cell doors closing in the video. You REALLY need to watch the movie Walk The Line thats about his life. Walk The Line is a famous song but actually June Carter Cash had written it PRIOR to their marriage. As you can tell~I'm a long time fan of his. I'm probably one of your older people here cuz I'm an older biker lady in my mid 50s. So I grew up listening to a lotta different music but I REALLY loved his music a lot. I felt connected to a lot of his story in a way. I've dealt with jails & prisons since I'M 15. IT'S A LONG STORY & not for here but luckily I managed to never do time on 3 felonies. Two would've put me onto death row~IF I didn't have friends thankfully. NOW I'm an international prisoner advocate for OVER 35 YRS. I deal with every level of the system from my juveys to my folks on death row. I'm also clean now from ALL illegal drugs~FOR 19 YEARS. So yeah...I totally related to his same struggles in life. He was a TRULY great artist and SO was his wife June. People say that his multiple diseases killed him. But honestly it is the truth that after your partner youve been with for decades leaves you...they say you die OF a broken heart. I REALLY DO believe that in part that is what happened here. It happens a lot with elderly people, they don't even make it through the first year after the loss of their spouses. Johnny did not even make it 6 months without June. Anyway PLEASE watch the movie cuz it's great and you'll learn to appreciate a lot more of his music AND get to see how some of the industry worked back then also. Peace love and good music always 😉❤😎🤘

This song was originally written and performed by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). It was about the battles of drug addiction. When sung by Johnny the lyrics take on somewhat of a different meaning.

[@SaguaroBlossom]

Somewhat, but mostly cuz Johnny has the benefit of recovery and looking back on it after years. He was not only an alcoholic, he was also addicted to drugs. Thankfully his wife essentially forced him to get clean.... more than once.

He was addicted to drugs for most his life due to guilt of his brothers death had issues with his father who kinda faulted him for it. 😢 His wife helped him get clean the one on the steps. He felt like he wasted so much time being wasted on drugs if he could take back all the wasted time he would try not to stay clean, he also knew the Lord and wrestled with his walk and he died not too long after this video.

[@friguy4444]

I've been watching quite a few of these "Hurt" reactions and they are so very similar in their effect on the listener. This song forces the listener to think about things they usually are trying NOT to think about because it's driving the deep questions right into the heart of those hearing it. Meaning "Why are we here?" "Where am I going?" "How should I be living?" What have I been living for and how?" "What is really Important in life?". Then when they are done it's so often silence and difficulty describing what they are thinking or feeling. "Hurt" is an "Anointed" song and Johnny's video especially.

[@FlippyHambone]

Powerful video by a legend… RIP

[@kittenklub1964]

R.I.P. 💗

[@jKLa]

This song is very personal for me, really tugs at my soul. This was one of my mom's favorite songs and spoke too true to her life experience in her later years. She died earlier this year followed shortly thereafter by my step dad and I am still currently struggling greatly both emotionally and financially. My mom born in 1947 and was from a rural farming background and came to the SF East Bay area with her family (her dad was a machinist) at around age 7. She was the oldest of 6 in a very disfunctional and abusive but also loving family. Yes I said both abusive and loving, definitely full of mental illness. If you think that's not possible and don't understand then please keep it to yourself! She was an original hippy who was an artist and sometimes modal and eventual part time math coach who was in some art shows but never found much success in life, and experienced a lot of painful loss and then long term disability. My mom was too often abused (as were her siblings) as a child by mentally ill parents who also went out of their way to help her pursue own passions, and knowing them I am convinced also truly loved her. My mom was later badly hurt by many in life including I am ashamed to say myself at times, but also badly hurt a few people she loved herself as well, lived a life of too much pain and poverty but also beauty, gardening, adventure, art and poetry, and also loved and cared very deeply for many and was deeply loved by many, helped many, helped to save some, and had an angelic beautiful heart. Most of those she knew and loved deeply died prematurely and most of the rest passed as well in the years before she finally died at the age of 75. My mom's ex husband (they divorced when I was 3) whom she remained friends with even after he eventually re-married and who helped raise me after my dad left when I was 7, was a letter carrier and old soul, loyal and kind, mostly quite but passionate with a it to say when he wanted to and felt the need, adventurer and independent thinker, non commercially successful artist, and original thinker and original SF State Drop-out Hippy like my mom. He died later the same month as her, age 75 as well. R.I.P. to them and to Johnny!

[@flyngalan]

Every thought expressed was spot on. You got it even before you set it to play! Raw emotion and honesty is what he brought to this cover and you felt it in your core! Great reaction - thanks!

[@p.j.morris633]

Aunt June died first. Yes he was addicted to drugs early on in his life this is a song of regret. Trent Reznor said i was born to write it Johnny was born to sing it. He gave it to Johnny he said its not mine anymore. that is aunt June his wife on the stairs. i visit his grave once a month nothing is more humbling than standing in the presence of greatness. It is a NIN song but trent gave it to Johnny.

[@GwenWittig]

His songs always had this fascinating twinge of darkness. At the end of his life, I view this as a gift to his fans. The meaning hits everyone. Everyone understands pain loneliness and regret. When you have reached the twilight of your life, it's ten fold.

[@chuckworthy1]

It's almost impossible to describe just how big of a Super Star Johnny Cash was. Country Music Star, Pop Music Star and Gospel Music Star, along with being a Movie Star. BUT, you have it right... all that in the end was worth nothing to him. In spite of all that Stardom, he was an alcoholic, drug addict, spent time in jail and beat his wife so he was all too human. The flashback clips don't come near to showing how big he was or show how much emotional pain he was in for most of his life. Thank You for your reaction!! I'm wondering if this one song will have more impact on more people than all his other music combined because here, he's teaching of so much about life...

[@jojoconley7119]

The woman in the picture on the wall was his mother. The woman on the stairs was his wife. Early in his career he was addicted to pills and alcohol. He kicked those habits. The house he is looking in is the house he grew up in. Its in Arkansas. Johnny Cash is a truly rare artist in that he stayed true to himself. He didn't sell out to the establishment Nashville sound. He made his own sound and he is sorely missed.

First time watching (SUBSCRIBED). Johnny Cash was a household name thru good & bad moments. This is a cover by Nine Inch Nails. He lived a full artistic life. Married to June Carter-Cash. June was from the famous music Carter family [Appalatia USA] They lost a child then both of their moms, they continued to perform until he became "unrelateable" in music industry after over 50 years. The "old" woman in photo on the wall was his beloved mother.

Trent Reznor, of NIN did indeed write this. He wrote about a young man hooked on the needle watching his life spiral out of control. Johnny made the song about an old man realizing everything he accumulated throughout his life was just dirt, dust at the end of things, worth less than nothing. Don't mistake things for what's really valuable in life. If you let the people that you love go, they will. Being alone sucks, especially at the end. His wife, the lady on the stairs, died 3 months after this video was made. 4 months after that, Johnny joined her in the endless sleep. The pic on the wall is his mom. Johnny Cash was indeed addicted to drugs, although not to the needle; pills, uppers and downers and alcohol were his demons.

Some do say that he died of a broken heart.

[@walkerig1]

The video was recorded in February of 2003. His daughter, on seeing a preview of the video, said to him it sounded like he was saying goodbye, he replied that he was. June Carter Cash, his 2nd wife, is the woman sat on the stairs in the video; also a singer in her own right who toured with him and sang with him on several songs. She had come down to check on her husband that day as his health was declining. June Carter Cash passed away a few months after the video recording in May of 2003 and a bereaved Johnny Cash followed her a few months later in the September. The song is by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and is about his battle with addiction and depression. Cash also an addict and alcoholic for much of his early life, spending time in Jail on half a dozen occasions for possession. The song encompasses the way both musicians life threads are woven together and entangled across the decades between them, so much so that Trent when he saw the video said it was like loosing his Girlfriend, as the song had become Johnny's. Johnny was a campaigner for prison reform and the rights of Native Americans and much of his material reflected his own passions and darker past. It was June that Cash attributed to rescuing him from his drug and Alcohol addiction a theme of the song. Carter is the person played by Reese Witherspoon alongside Joaquin Phoenix, in the biopic of them: Walk the line. Johnny Cash's star had declined in the 80s and the Museum to his life with the smashed Gold Disk on the Floor, used as one of the backdrops to the video, ended up being shuttered. In the 1990s Rick Rubin and American Recordings more of a Rap, Punk and Metal label sought Cash to record for their label, and offered Cash complete artistic freedom. With them his career revived and he brought out his most critically acclaimed albums, the America series, bringing Cash to a new younger audience; starring on The Simpsons and Headlining at Glastonbury in 1994. The 4th and penultimate album of the America series from which this is one of several Hit Singles: American IV: The Man Comes Around, You may recognise the Title Track too, was released in November of 2002, and he was still working on his final Album right up to the end and that was released posthumously.
