Hurt was the last parting gift of the man in black

This is an older man's song especially if you lived your time a bit wild and off center. You find yourself remembering, reflecting,regretting and so much more. There's a time when sickness and death is all around you and the memories come without bidding or welcome. I hope Mr Cash has found his peace. If he has, maybe the rest of us will as well.

this is the single most powerful video EVER made. ever.

He will always be the man in black

Johnny sang my life & in the process he saved my life....I regret the time I was in a boat on Henderson lake and we pulled up to Johnnys' dock....I was too afraid to go up and knock on his back door to tell him how much he meant to me....I wish I had. I hope to meet him in heaven someday....just to shake his hand.

The fragility of life in 4 minutes of music. Deeply, deeply moving !

I´m from brasil and love country music. In my opinion, Johnny Cash wasn`t last american man, was last world man. His story, talent, sensibilite...how speak here in brasil ...saudades

If you don't shed a tear watching "Hurt", you're dead inside.

Hurt was very powerful and I am sure it means different things to people but some of the things it means to me are: John was willing to show his frail health and aged appearance to the world. Most celebrities would never do this. John had lived a life of wealth and fame but at the end of it none of that mattered much to him, God and family were much more important. John could take a song from a completely different genre of music and make it into his song. John knew his death was coming but he was willing to take it head on. Most people do not even want to think about their own mortality but he made a music video about it. His message was to stay true to yourself and what you know is right rather than chase money or fame because in the end none of that stuff will matter to you when your days are becoming short.

Johnny Cash will be missed. Peace and Love to all.

My favorite singer of all time. I may be 30 but Johnny Cash is amazing to me. Love this guy... May he rest in peace.

The man in black is now in white with the angels...Thank You Johnny Cash

God hold him now... and he is ever so content and with the greatest of peace.

That's the only version of Hurt I will ever listen to.

Rip Johnny you'll be missed your music will never die

God bless the last American Rebel.

Johnny Cash got my attention when I was about 5. My family didn't listen to country, but I heard it somewhere else. I would sing on my slide two of his songs. He made such an impression on a small child. I loved June & Johnny. They were what we call "good people!"

Johnny was said to have past away within 5 months of June. The same is true for both sets of grandparents I had. Being over a half century old, I feel the same will happen with me and my wife😞❤️🙏

It's a message he left for us to make amends for those he crossed. As rich and successful he was, he had regrets.

God rest him. He's with Miss June now. A great American that was able to turn his life around. What an inspiration.

Johnny understood regret, and why it's powerful and necessary. It is a teacher. It is a strengthener. Johnny was wise and strong because he felt that hurt. He made this song his because his life mirrored the words Trent wrote. Even approaching death, Johnny took inventory of his life and deeds, and he felt sorrow for the mistakes. This was song was his last confession. We need know no more. May he rest in eternity in peace.

Johnny C , a man who knew his conscience and wasn't afraid to speak his mind. A true beacon ...RIP

"John is like the north star;You can guide you're boat by him."

I've listened to a lot of music in my young life. I went to the rock n roll hall of fame because of AC/DC! I loved it. I waslked up stairs and this video was playing and the POWERFUL lyrics and pain in this song grabbed me. It is the most beautiful song and video I've ever seen. I'm currently reading a bio on Johnny cash. Just WOW. I'm so impressed. What a talented man!!! 👍❤

He was a genuine troubadour, a bona fide minstrel, telling and re-telling the stories of our lives, what we wish were our lives or sometimes the stories that shouldn't be part of anyone's lives but become so due to our human nature and the choices we make. He fully embodied our human spirit, and we're richer for his life and what he has left behind. I only hope I to touch anyone the way his music has touched me.

Johnny inspired me more than any other musician he's sang about the reality of life and the pain that follows us as we have this human experience in this world he's now home with June and the ever loving father God bless you Mr cash

In the 1960s Johnny did a lot of things that he no doubt regretted deeply. Drugs, alcohol, women et al. Like Barbara said, it's not the way she would like to remember Johnny, nor is it the way I or any other fan would like to remember him, but it is the truth and he expressed it so well. Rest in Peace John, through everything you were still an amazing singer, songwriter and above all - person.

RIP that made me cry its so sad...and im 13 no1 can walk the line like the true man in black...Johnny Cash every1....

Anytime I/we watched Johnny Cash, we all smiled. Why? Because we knew that everything he did or said was from a very REAL place in his own life and in his heart. He was REAL. Period. He did not pretend to be anything but himself, warts and all, both good with the bad. He was HONEST and it came out through his music, in honesty of his own messes and pleasures in life, honest with injustice in the world, just plain honest...and real...always real. So many artist today, it seems, hide behind a facade of their or corporate making. He was the opposite. One of the most amazing and powerful artist I have ever seen and heard.

J. Cash was an excellent song writer, musician, and had a true ear for music. Without him Rock N Roll wouldn't be what it is today. Sleep Well Mr. Cash Sleep well.

its takes a lot of guts for someone to literally sing about their end of fame and life, johnny cash was a man who defined multiple genres. and showed real love in a marriage, he died after june left cause he couldn't live without her; god rest his sould

Johnny Cash Known as a "Legend" "God of music" love this guy me and my grandpa would listen to this Johnny when I was 8 I miss my grandpa (:...(

Long live Johnny.

I'm a 24 year old man and I would like to think I'm a pretty tough guy, but I can not watch that music video and hold back the tears. EXTREMELY powerful song and video.

I love NiN and Johnny Cash as well but the video of him singing this is by far my favorite ever. I cry every time I see it and can only imagine the pain it brings to his children.

i seen this some time back i could feel he is not long for this place i cryed but enjoyed the music he is in a better place now and with his wife ty johnny

Johnny Cash was a real man.

My TV sound was off when I first saw John's Hurt video. From across the room I was soon floored by the images. "Cash is singing his own EULOGY!", I thought. When I could see it with sound, I KNEW he had.

will people stop saying one is better than the other! you can't compare johnny cash and nine inch nails!!! johnny made a beautiful (and sad) piece of work out of this song, and all credit to Trent Rez for writing such a great song originally

I love NIN. I love Johnny Cash. The first time I heard this version it hit me like an asteroid hitting the surface of the Earth. It was with same kind of mover and shaker kind of force. It recognized the same HURT and sadness within me. When it was over with I was inconsolable. I still get that way. For me there is no other song like it.

made me cry so sad

Johnny Cash Will Never Be Forgot I love this song play it all the time on the guitar

I used to listern to Johnny Cash with my Dad 38 years ago... I am now 45 and now appreciate the work that Johnny did and to the musical taste my Dad had until his own death in 2004. RIP Johnny.

Painfully brilliant.

Very powerful song.i have watched many times. Lived his life for sure. He found his soul mate and his songs were amazing. True grit. Hard as nails soft as butter. .

I love You, John, God Bless You. I sooo cried seeing this,and even moreso because it's real and true, I would have wished much better of an ending than the one he had....

A real MAN - what an incredible person; with every emotion and human battle, but such love too.

I think Trent was honored to have Johnny Cash choose his song to represent his passing. Johnny Cash was always very eclectic in his musical tastes, and I love that he didn't quit being that way right up to the end. I'm positive that Mr. Resnor believes John did him proud.

What a beautiful Man. Role model all my life. The talent, the truthfulness, the spiritual side. The ruggedness, just the soul you felt along with the humor. Just a beautiful portrait of how to be a man, for me growing up and watching him. He was my Dads best buddy...like an uncle...Out in the garage with my Dad and Johnny Cash playing all through my childhood. Molded my life. What an honor to live while he did.

R.I.P johnny and june we'll miss you. you made america and other places happy you may now rest in peace in a better place please god please takes care of johnny and june for us i hope he's making music in heaven for all the angels and to god adn we'll miss you bless your heart

i love his face it just shouts out a man thats has lived

Thanks for posting this. Hurt is such a powerful video, truly his last farewell, yet Johnny's family and friends manage to graciously fill in all the remaining details for all of us. What a great tribute. He was one of a kind and is missed.

I love this Song..... Eines meiner lieblings Lieder

Every time I watch it is gives me chills. this was really a Johnny Cash masterpiece.

Johnny cash, uma lenda. Foi um cara um cara que, com suas músicas, agradou tanto o povo do country quanto do Rock. E outras vertentes também. Que Deus tenha em um bom lugar

It never leaves I know to well

I always shed a tear listening to the song, also a great video, r.i.p. johnny cash, I love ya buddy

Johnny Cash. Living legend. Man in black No one will ever come close

Reminds me so much of my dad. A inspirational man from 1930's Kentucky, full of vigor right up until the end and the he left this life so gracefully. Rest up n peace dad and Johnny, I'll see ya when I get there😀

I want this song played at my funeral. My ALL TIME FAVORITE SONG of Cash nd all time fav period

Oh my god,he is so great, I love his music,Had about him in music and got good grades:D I thank You Johnny Cash: The Legend

In my tradition, today is the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed, and this video showed up in my recommended feed--an artist I grew up listening to as a boy, and as a man, and whose gifts I have been blessed to share with my children, the eldest of whom wasn't quite yet a year old when Johnny Cash passed into the rest and care of his God. His music has been with me and people important to me in good time and in bad. I am grateful to have encountered this part of his story today, told by the people who loved him, and to the God who thought enough of the rest of us to put Johnny here, and to Johnny for his courage in sharing some of the best part of himself with us as a result. Trent Reznor composed a powerful song from his place of personal darkness, and Johnny took that darkness, some part of which he shared or recognised, too, and didn't flinch from it, but instead dragged it out into the light and, by some measure, vanquished it. Maybe nobody else but him could've done that, but even if it were possible, I'm still glad he was the one who did. We remember those who served faithfully in their generation, and beg grace to follow in their steps.

he was a man of the people....simplistic....a man the average guy could relate to...i hope to see u in heaven to Johnny...up there with the guitar and that big old smile!

His interpretation of Hurt and the documentary really touches one inside. One can see he was a great man, that he was real, and that is a very rare thing to see, a man who truly spoke from his heart and soul.

Best singer ever have listened to JC my whole life this track was absolutely beautiful

Can't get this song out my head, what lovely daughter very beautiful

I always wanted the last words to be. “I would find the way.”

Style and class all in THIS man

Loved him to the end and BEYOND ! Great People talking about a Great Man...ol couple way down in TX...jd ...The Angels are Singing...Amen what a Life 9nly he could have lived it ....Goodness, Grace, Happiness toall people I believe deeply...that's the way he would have loved it to the..olman way down in TX.. jd

this song tells my life story. Love Ya Johnny and June , Be Happy Happy god bless your soul >Wayne Shieldaig Scotland

I really hope that the legacy of Johnny Cash doesn't end. He is the original cross over performer, not Elvis. I remember in 1968, the whole country was at odds, but he had the number one tv show, the number one country song and the number one popular song at the same time.

i love this so much !! makes me cry it's so powerful.

John was near the end, but he summoned up a last flicker of greatness. Moving, powerful, beautiful.

The "underground" band Nine Inch Nails?? Apparently , the reporter has been living "underground"

johnny cash is one of the greatest and influential artists of our time and hurt shows the ra emotion cash can portray through words and sound. lots of young people dont like johnnies music well im 13 and all i can say is a feel sorry for anybody who cant understand the buety in johnny cash's music i have EVERY johnny cash album. the man in black lives woot!

As long as there are artists like these to counter the decay of music the last 10 - 15 years there is still hope. Sadly these legends don't live forever. They cannot be replaced by the likes of a Lady GaGa or Justin Bieber or whatever.

This made me want to cry,..he was such a Great musician and Man...R.I.P

this is the most incredible example of the Music Video. I cant remember the first time i saw it, but every frame resonates with me

June and john, A great love ❤️

I remember visiting his home on Jamaica back in the late 80's. He & June CC had a torrent, crazy life, but it seems he enjoyed every minute.

Johnny Cash is my Inspiration In life exactly like Bob Dylan and Kris Kristofferson mentioned at the end, Johnny Cash is like the North Star, you can guide your boat by him. A Legend.

As long as we keep him in our hearts and minds . He will live for ever

Been a fan of this great artist since I was 14 years old - I got to see him once in Belfast in 1984 and tried to blag my way back stage! Thanks Johnny

There aren't many entertainers who can go from this world and leave us with something so powerful, the voice may be frail, the body growing weak but the radiance emanating from Cash is strong as it ever was. Praise too for a magnificent lyric and skilfully made video.

GOD BLESS THE TWO OF YOU SEE YOU SOON

Honestly this is the best music video ever made. My heart is wrenching..

WOw just wow brought tears, lost for words R.I.P. a great man !!

That's so beautiful and so hard to watch. He was-is-an avatar for anyone who chooses to live an honest life.

A true American classic..Johnny Cash...

Such a beautiful couple always loved !!!!

The best may god keep you in heaven.

Gosh, this still gets to me. I miss him and June.

Even after all these years....I weep every time I watch that video. May I see you at the resurrection Achi! You transcend genres of music, races of men, financial classes, religious proclivities and generations of humanity! I love both of you and I have since I was a child growing up , running through the woods in Georgia. Remember: the Messiah and Torah are meant to be accepted together! Shalom y'all!

Sometimes a man has to find his own way to say goodbye. John knew it was just a matter of time and wanted to leave on his own terms the same way he lived. He truly left more than he will ever know.

The very best song ever sung. We all face death in the end. I have faced it several times, it always sucks. But death brings rebirth, a next step in that journey. The man in black will never be "a single drop of rain".

I think the best thing about his music, was the conveyance of his emotions through his work. Hurt was a very powerful song by Trent Reznor that was taken to an entirely level by Johnny Cash because of that gift.

this song really touches my heart...i had stopped singling and playing the guitar. im gonna start now and never stop again...life is too short...make the most of it

You will be missed Johnny. Thank you for all you gave us. May you and June rest in peace

All I Can Say Is What A Man And What A Song.

The "Hurt" video is true cinema. The world was diminished on 9/12/03. Godspeed, Johnny.
