TOO EMOTIONAL… | FIRST TIME HEARING 'Johnny Cash – Hurt' | GENUINE REACTION



Before today I had never heard a Johnny Cash song. I know this is a cover to the Nine Inch Nails song and I made sure to listen to that last night on my own so that I could get a better understanding of Johnny Cash’s cover today but man… Johnny Cash sure knew how to pull at my heart strings in this one.
Hurt is one of those songs that I won’t be able to listen to all the time due to how emotional it is but It is a song I will never forget!
Here is my reaction to hearing Johnny Cash – Hurt for the first time. I hope you enjoy it!

  1. I remember when this song/video came out. It was before the days of YouTube. I honestly can't even remember how I watched it, but it was on my computer. I had already been a huge NIN fan, and stood 8 feet from Trent Reznor when he closed out a concert in the late 90's with this song. That was the most incredible concert experience of my life, and will never be topped. When Johnny Cash released this cover, I broke down in tears. It was haunting. It felt like Trent wrote the song for Johnny, or you could envision Trent singing it as an old man. You couldn't write a script better than this. And then his wife died shortly after, and then he died. And the song had even more meaning, and weight.

    I can't believe that was all in 2003. I don't know what's happening to time, but I can't believe it was 21 years ago. I'm almost an old man compared to my 20-something self!!!

    You don't want to get old, but unless you die young, you will get old and wonder what happened to all the years.

  2. Oooh we gotta do more cash later. Man in Black is a must! Cheers for doing this. Also, to be clear, Johnny covered this to question his own shit, not because he was a drug addict. NIN song is explicitly about heroin addiction. Johnny never had that disease, but he had his own questions. It is, metaphorically, his contrition to some degree. He knows he's on the way out and questions if he did enough or if he did well at all. It's very sad.

  5. Mollyboy… been a fan for a bit but I gotta say.. your absolute respect for older artists totally won me over. Yea… this seems like a reach but OMFG if you know the Cash story this song was so ON POINT. Just so you know, I’m 55 and a commercial fisherman in Alaska and follow you every release. Respect. There were those that came before this/your generation. Own it. You’re magnificent.

  6. I remember when Johnny Cash died. I was in a record store ironically when the news broke over our phones. I looked up to another shopper and said, "Johnny Cash died." He said, "I know." We embraced in silent tears. And spoke no words.

  7. Everyone understands regret.

    Seeing a man’s entire life flash across the screen in 3 minutes as he sings about wishing he could have another try… it hits us all in a place we don’t like to visit.

    This is a man who lost himself somewhere along the way, and despite all his fame and fortune, reaches the end of his journey with regret, painful memories of mistakes that will continue to haunt him until his final day.

    What do you regret? What WILL you regret? When your journey reaches its conclusion, will you have lived the life you wanted, or betrayed yourself in pursuit of an empire of dirt?
