Johnny Cash – Hurt

I originally heard this tune shortly after Johnny released the album American IV: The Man Comes Around. It blew me away! It wasn’t till after Cash died that I watched the video and it elevated the song to a whole new level. The lyrics combined with the visuals really triggered the emotions. Hurt is a tune from Nine Inch Nails and was written by Trent Reznor. It is about dealing with drug addiction. Johnny took those very same lyrics and made them about his life. It is hard to watch the video and listen without tearing up.
