It's crazy to me how every single version of this song seems to have its own meaning. The album version is downright depressing, the older live versions are filled with far more cynicism, while this one has a slight feeling of hope to it, warmth even I'd say. On top of that we have the Johnny Cash cover which also stands on its own. It takes one hell of a talented songwriter and performer to create something like this.

The song is over 20 years old now and still rips through me like the first time I heard it. I'm not a huge NIN fan, I like Reznor, but not a huge fan. But this is one of the 10 best songs from my generation I think. Oh, and I love Johnny Cash, but the emotional roller coaster Trent takes people on with this song is beyond what Cash did with the song. I know Trent said it was Johnny's song now, and I appreciate his respectful nature to a great, but Trent has to know the emotional impact of a live performance like this cannot be touched.

Yesterday I was at a philosophical discussion. The subject was "Are there higher and lower forms of pleasure?". Someone suggested that opera was a higher form of pleasure than common hit songs. In order to appreciate opera you must make an effort to understand it. Than it struck me, this song is not pleasure, but it´s a high form of art. In order to understand this song you must be familiar with suffering. Those who are lucky to not have suffered very much are not likely to understand it. This song is also an example that high quality art can trigger very strong emotions. I can't listen, or even think of it without tears coming from my eyes.

Both versions are the most beautiful songs I've heard on the subject of pain... Here's what Trent said about Cash's version... When Trent Reznor was asked if Cash could cover his song, Reznor said he was "flattered" but worried that "the idea sounded a bit gimmicky." He became a fan of Cash's version, however, once he saw the music video. “ I pop the video in, and wow... Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. [I felt like] 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

I do feel like he nin version is more relatable to me en I think that’s the case for most younger people. The cash cover is more based on the experience of being old and ready to say goodbye tot your life and feeling alone in a changed world. The nin version is more about depression and/or addiction. And wanting to end it before your time. It’s a totally different song even though they’re the same. This is a nice example why music is my favorite thing in life.

I first remember hearing this when I was but a kid on the album, "Downward Spiral". Being the last song after I'd listened to this immense new sound, this music I'd never heard before it was all ended with this song at the very end of the album. Having felt I just lived the very tale which was now sprawled throughout my mind I could only imagine the perception of life through this mans eyes. Years later, 2001 I believe, I hear this same tune and words coming through the radio from an old but familiar voice, Johnny Cash and it hit my soul like a brick. These two men have lived lives fractal to each other. Living vicariously through drugs and their loved ones only to be further damaged by the loss of both. Trent wrote this song in a very dark hour (so I understand) and Mr.Cash covered this song a very dark time toward the end of his life after the loss of his wife. I can only thank Trent for allowing such personal feelings to be shared in such a deep manner, as is with excellence in music.

That's why to me, this version has so much more impact, because its so damn personal.

I’d argue it being the audience sharing the moment with Trent. Think of it as the audience saying altogether “we’re with you”/“we’ll carry you through the song” because it’s a very deep and personal song for Trent. A performance artist lives off the response from their audience. Think of when a Queen audience collectively sing “Love of My Life”. It’s truly a great thing to behold.

When I see and listen to trent reznor's version, I really feel so related to his voice, his words, his pain.. I love johnny cash's version too and also he keeps that feelings on his own way and life But when it comes to trent, man I feel very connected to him. I wish someday I could sit with him and just talk about life, about those lyrics, about how it was to him to fit those shoes.. What a great performer.

I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of shit Upon my liars chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right here What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I will keep myself I would find a way

I see a lot of debate about which version is better but most of you fail to realize the fact that Johnny Cash's version is a "cover" and without the original (and permission from the artist) there would be no debate just something to think about when you debate whose is better

IMO this song MUST contain that descending piano riff. This song is about being in a hole and not being able to crawl out of it and even dragging ppl down with you (due to drug addiction or whatever other destructive affliction someone may be dealing with). that piano riff is so indicative of the essence of the song. johnny cash did a moving rendition but it was nowhere as emotionally provoking as the original.

@Morclaw9 жыл бұрын
Here are my two cents on the discussion on the which version is "better". The main difference in Original and Cashes cover is the emotion they convey. Trents version is full of self-loathing , it was written as a medium with which to get the anger at self out. Trent said it was something he wrote se he could stay sane and live through that shitty situation he was in. Cash's cover is much different. It is a grimm realization of ones own mortality. You see a dying man, a leggend at the very end of the road. The lyrics lend themselves perfectly to the reimagined purpose. Everyone he knew, from his glorious past, was either dead or dying, while he is siting there wondering if anything even remains to live for. On me Cash's version has a deeper emotianal impact. However if I was in a depression I would likely prefer the original.
@Morclaw9 жыл бұрын
+Morclaw Two more topics I would like to tough on. 1st this is not a fucking competition. imitation is the highest form of flattery , and I imagine being covered by a legend must be pretty fattering. Well , we don't have to imagine because Trent said it himself. 2nd The point that Cash replaced the crown of shit with crown of thorns to remove profanity: well the crown of shit in the original vershion is there to hammer in the self-hatred, and it accomplishes it perfectly. Hovever , selfloathing is not part of JC's hardship.Not only would it make no sense to keep it there , it would even confuse the entire message of his version.
@jacklomas42189 жыл бұрын
tbh honest when I hear these 2 songs I can't help but think of these huge fight between 2 opposing factions. nin version would essentially the mid battle song with all the chaos, bloodshed etc etc. but cash 's version would essentially be the aftermath. picking up the peices and coming to terms with who they have lost and so on.

The words are as prolific as the piano keys, This song echoes through me as its timeless, ageless. Johnny cash did what we all have done with this song, somehow make it 'our own' and applicable to our own lives. That’s part of the skill Trent has, not only are his talents obvious, but they stir something in everyone that hears his work... Heartbreaking, Genuine, Raw and relatable - not written for anyone but, hauntingly personal to everyone.

I heard this live the first time back in 1995 when NIN played at MSG. I was 21 and I was all sorts of fucked up and I needed it as angry and hopeless as it was. Now I’m 2022 at 47 this version is exactly what I need now. There’s a completely different edge to it. Somehow I’m in many ways the same screwed up girl I was back then. I just hide it a bit better now I suppose. Shit time goes by way too fast….

I've been trapped in my addiction for a long time. I've made the decision to quit a long time ago. And I've failed countless times... I've come to relalise that "my sweetest friend" means me. A part of me at least, that's been lingering around for about 13 years now, being a shadow, protecting me, from the 'real' me. It's right about time for me to say goodbye. No turning back, no exceptions, no more loopholes. It's either do or die trying. This night is only mine, and the only questions that remain: how deep does the rabbit hole goes? And who will I become, when I manage to emerge from it? Time will tell my tale.

For all of you who don't know, Trent Reznor, the front man for NIN, wrote Hurt. It was released on their album Downward Spiral in 1994. Cash covered it and released it on his album American IV: The Man Comes Around in 2002. In other words, Cash is not the original writer of Hurt.
