It is said that when Johnny's daughter saw the video, she said, "It's almost like you're saying goodbye" in which he replied, "I am."
-
Lyrically identical - presentation is EVERYTHING. NIN is feeling the harsh reality of life - Johnny is feeling the weight of a lifetime of decisions.
-
Trent from Nine Inch Nails was asked how he felt about Johnny's cover of his song, Trent said "that song belongs to Johnny now"
-
Sees someone is reacting to this song. Asks himself "Do I want to ugly cry right now?" The video really helps hit you in the feels...
-
77 years old and I watch this and wonder what the hell was the point of a lifetime of work ,family, laughter tears etc etc. The finality of Johnny closing that piano cover sucks the tears out of this old guy every time. IT IS DONE
-
Johnny's version has a finality to it, while Nine Inch Nails' was an intermezzo, a momentary state. A life lived versus a life in transition.
-
It is sad to think within 11 months, they both died. R.i.p. Johnny and June Carter Cash.
-
I'm 47 years old now, and the lyrics of this song hit progressively harder with the closing of each new day. Brilliant writing, and a timeless and perfect cover/tribute to Reznor's penned genius. We all have an empire of dirt.
-
Somebody said that Trent wrote it a a fear of the future. Johnny sung it as a regret for the past.
-
When I heard Johnny's cover and especially with the video, I swore it was like Trent wrote this song for Mr. Cash. Knowing the little I do about Johnny's life, it just seems so fitting for him to sing it. Add to that how old he looks, the emotion in his eyes, and just the age and tiredness in his still beautiful voice... let's just say I was not surprised that he passed on not too long after this. RIP, Johnny. I still recall that time me dad found a way to sneak his 8 year old son to the side of the stage to watch you sing a song in concert. And if the security guard who caught us but let us stay until it ended is still alive, thank you to you as well.
-
As an older person, the lyrics definitely hit different. Hearing Cash sing this at the end of his career and life is so powerful and resonant. RIP to The Man In Black.
-
The artistic courage of Cash recording this cover so late in his life is beyond impressive.
-
"The needle tears a hole" hits like a bolt of lightning when Cash sings it (he's an old Junky). It's as if Trent wrote the song for himself and Johnny Cash.
-
I could see you fighting back the tears toward the end of this video. No shame in crying from what Johnny makes you feel with this. Everyone does. It's very human.
-
Man, I cry every time I watch the video and listen to the song. So vulnerable and yet powerful. I need a minute...
-
Dammit......I cannot watch this video without tears welling up in my eyes. Every time.
-
I saw a glimpse of what appeared to be a physical reaction from you at the end of the first run of the video. Do not shy away from showing that. We come here to see not only your analysis of a song/video, we want to see how it actually effects you too. I can say with no shame that when I first saw this video, it hit me in the gut and had me in tears.
-
Mad respect for you letting the video finish before commenting
-
This song gives me chills. It's as if Reznor wrote the song for Cash.

"Hearing it was like someone kissing your girlfriend." - Trent Reznor
