Reznor’s “Hurt” is about the pain of living, while Cash’s “Hurt” is about the pain of having lived. Cash transforms “Hurt” from a cry of despair into a spiritual reckoning (confessing his sins and hoping for grace).

When it came out I remember thinking that’s the saddest song I’d ever heard. Still do

The original version is a young man who is realizing that he needs to change. Johnny Cash’s version is an old man’s Swan Song, looking back at everything and realizing he can’t change anything

Trent wrote this for Johnny Cash, it just took them both 18yrs to realise it.

He truly transformed that song and made it his own. Certainly one of the best if not the best covers.

Agree. That video took 71 years to make. I only cried the first 40 or 50 times watching it.

The night after he passed, the local goth club I went to on the weekends played that song at the end of the night and everyone there sang along. It started raining inside somehow too.

I remember Cash being alive and just hearing you say 23 years ago made me feel old.

The way the production on the Cash version starts to get more and more ragged and clipped as it crescendos and then resolves perfectly clear is a brilliant bit of production from Rick Rubin.

Tuukka Gronholm :
yeap. This version of the song is yes beautiful but it is also painful to listen to because you can hear so much emotion coming from Cash singing it.

This is such a remarkable capstone to his life and career and it’s really beautiful that he gave this to us before he passed

That entire album is brilliant. Hurt was a brilliant cover and so full of a lifetime of pain - that video, yes, but his voice so full of pain too.

Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt vs Jeff Buckley's cover of Hallelujah.... I cannot pick which one did a better job of taking a song and making it their own, I love both so much

I love NIN so much, but when. JC covered this song, it became the end all, be all. That WAS the definitive version.
