Vocal Coach 1st Time Reaction to JOHNNY CASH - “HURT”

Published 2023-11-03
In this video, I react for the first time to Johnny Cash performing "Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails. In this video, I analyse Johnny Cash’s amazing performance, explain and demonstrate his vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. Trent Reznor is one of the most influential artists of our time and this cover really shows it!

    Reznor wrote this song as a fear of the future, Johnny did it as a regret for the past. Possibly the most powerful piece Johnny Cash ever sang.
  • @gmark1
    I'm coming up on 71 and I've bee listening to this song for about decade. I don't think I've ever heard it without tearing up or outright bawling. Thank you for this heartfelt reaction.
  • @abelstrd
    "If I could start again, a million miles away. I would keep myself I would find a way." That part always gets me in my heart 💔
  • @TheRscorp
    Him closing the piano like it's a coffin gets me. My dad is 81 and fading and this video hits hard because I know what's coming. Life went by in the blink of an eye.
  • @johnjohn37371
    This amazing piece of art, an examination of a spiralling addict, Reznor's brilliance...and then reimagined with an old man's reflections...turned into his own eulogy, complete with a pictorial biography of his life...each, devastating in their own right. I love them both. I miss Johnny and I miss June. ❤
  • @biologyguy52
    This is such an authentic reaction to one of the greatest performances of all time.
  • @FatalKitsune
    This song is raw emotional damage. Nobody is prepared for the hurt that Cash delivers with this piece.
  • @scott2836
    According to the story told afterward, when he played this for his daughters, they said “it sounds like you’re saying goodbye”. He replied, “I am”. The man was a legend, and his last recorded performance was absolutely legendary.
  • @TheViralInfekT
    It is one hell of a farewell letter. The moment he closes the piano is killing me each time.
  • @secretarts
    Trent Reznor wrote a good song with Hurt, and Johnny Cash turned it into a legendary anthem. Trent was quoted as saying he did not want a cover done, but after seeing the video, Trent agreed it was now Johnny Cash's song with so much feeling. "HURT" was nominated for six VMAs at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, and won for Best Cinematography, Justin Timberlake who won for Cry Me a River in his speech said "This is a travesty! I demand a recount, John Cash deserves this more than anyone here tonight."

    Johnny and his wife, June Carter Cash, had been diagnosed with terminal illnesses. Johnny was determined to out live June, as he didn't want her to be the one to suffer the pain. June died in May 2003, Johnny in Sept. 2003. The picture on the wall was Johnny's mother, his wife June was in the video. The white house Johnny walked around, looking into the windows, was his either his mother's house, or his and Junes first house.

    The image of him slowly closing the piano and lovingly stroking the cover one last time just hits me every time I see it. He is saying goodbye, but showing one last gesture of love and respect for the music and all of us.
  • When I heard the song, I had the same reaction as you. I'm 70 years old and my wife died three years ago. I could identify with the lyrics. When you get older, the past passes you by. And life experience gives you a different perspective on your life. You can't change anything you've done wrong and you start to feel deep remorse.
  • @jimbass1664
    The purpose of art is to provoke a reaction, a feeling, a connection, a thought, a wish, a dream. This man did them all. Also, never be afraid of crying, you're supposed to. I hope!
  • @ReverendLondo
    20 years later and he's still making people hurt. Glorious.
  • @mburkitt7678
    Wow, what an honest reaction! Johnny fought addictions for much of his life, yet survived and is still revered by his fans. It took a while to make this recording happen and I have to believe he knew it would be his last. June (his wife, on the stairs), passed a few months after this was recorded and Johnny passed a few months after her. The imagery of the piano closing at the end was as if he was closing a coffin on his career. Thank you for all the knowledge, compassion, and humor you share.

    It's hard to imagine there exists, a finer cover of a song. Johnny Cash didn't just borrow the song; he now owns it. Each time I listen to this, it stirs up emotions from deep within me, like no other song can, and I'm reduced to a blubbering mess, such is its power and beauty.
