Johnny Cash HURT video

[Josh]

Chris, and any other Cash fans:

Have you ever seen the video to Cash's version of Hurt (originally by Trent Reznor of NIN) off of his last album? The DVD came with my album.

I hadn't watched it for quite a while, but I just showed it to my students in my music appreciation class. It is astounding and exceptionally moving. Me and Vio had to fight back some tears in front of the students. It's one of the most shockingly cogent near-death Christian testimonies you will ever witness, IMO.

If you haven't seen it, we should watch it sometime after Church.

I've seen a Cash Hurt video, but I'm not sure if it's the same one you're talking about. I'd love to see it.

But if it's that moving, I'm not sure I want to watch it with others...I cry pretty easily and I'm a little self-conscious of doing that in front of people.

It's why I didn't see the Passion in theaters.

I personaly prefer the NIN's verson (the original) cause i like how he tells the truth unlike cash who changes the words..

I wear this crown of sh|t

if your going to do the song again you do it right.
But apart formn that anoiance the cash version is ok. But NIN all the way for me

have you ever heard reznor's thoughts on johnny's version?

let's see... where's our other NIN fan on here? Brian?

it's funny but although the songs share almost all their words in common and have many common themes, they both can be personalized to very different contexts depending on the version.

have you ever seen the video for johnny's version. i think that makes a lot more sense of how cash was interpreting it?

ye i have watched both versions. Cash's voise abnd that makes the song seem realy sad but i love NIN's because of the gutar sounds wrong slighty and i lvoe it because his voise is really cool adn i love NIN in general. The hand that feeds is an amasing song by NIN XD
