Johny Cash - Best Cover Ever.

I know it's nothing new, but this always gives me goosebumps when I hear it.

And I ran across it again today.

It's gotta be one of the best covers of all time.

Hurt.

edit: oops... "johnny"

duh that doesn't even have to be pointed out. It IS the damn best cover ever made, period. Better than the original by far. I wonder how Trent feels about it.

Johnny it's a legend a great artist . I know the song and it's a hell good cover :winkwink:

I always thought that was a great cover for him to do, I bet that was his entire thought process after June died before him.

gives me chills everytime I watch that video.. by far one of the best ever :2 cents:

Reznor's reaction

In an interview with Alternative Press, Reznor admitted that when Rubin first asked if Cash could cover his song, he was "flattered" but worried that "the idea sounded a bit gimmicky." The power of Cash's cover didn't fully hit Reznor until he saw the video:

“I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore. … It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning—different, but every bit as pure.[2]”

Reznor still occasionally refers to "Hurt" as "a song that isn't mine anymore."

From wiki. Damn good video, saw it before I saw the movie. All through the movie I was having flashbacks to the Hurt video..

One of the best ever :)

Thanks for the post. :sadcrying

that video is kinda gloomy to me..
