Hurt
Johnny Cash Lyrics

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 thorns
Upon my liar's 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

"Hurt" was written by Trent Reznor and first released on Nine Inch Nails' 1994 album The Downward Spiral. Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" was released on his 2002 album, American IV: The Man Comes Around. Rick Rubin, producer of Cash's American series and a friend of Reznor's, suggested the song to Cash. The line "crown of shit" was changed to "crown of thorns", not only removing profanity from the lyrics, but also more directly referencing Christ. The cover was released on a single with the B-side "Personal Jesus", a cover of the Depeche Mode single. Reznor said that when Rubin Read Full Bio"Hurt" was written by Trent Reznor and first released on Nine Inch Nails' 1994 album The Downward Spiral. Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" was released on his 2002 album, American IV: The Man Comes Around.

Rick Rubin, producer of Cash's American series and a friend of Reznor's, suggested the song to Cash. The line "crown of shit" was changed to "crown of thorns", not only removing profanity from the lyrics, but also more directly referencing Christ. The cover was released on a single with the B-side "Personal Jesus", a cover of the Depeche Mode single.

Reznor said that when Rubin first asked if Cash could cover his song, 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 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. 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.”

Johnny Cash's version was awarded the Country Music Award for "Single of the Year" in 2003. It ranked as CMT's top video for 2003, #1 on CMT's 100 Greatest Country Music Videos the following year, and #1 on the Top 40 Most Memorable Music Videos on MuchMoreMusic's Listed in October 2007. As of July 2008, the single occupies the number one spot on Rate Your Music's Top Singles of the 2000s. The song is also Cash's sole chart entry on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, where it hit #33 in 2003.

The house where Cash's music video for "Hurt" was shot, which was Cash's home for nearly 30 years, was destroyed in a fire on April 10, 2007.

Hurt - Johnny Cash

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 thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I'm 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 would keep myself
I would find a way

@Rodney Sumner That was simply beautiful. As beautiful as the song itself. I tend to write long replies, cause i generally have something to say, but i simply nodded my head reading your comment and felt the creative, comprehensive, sentimental, beautiful essence behind the words and i've felt gratitude for it. So i'm not sure what can i say more, but i'll try.

Yes, we are tragically beautiful, life's struggle for survival, and we as a species tend to find beautiful ways to express this will to survive, like this song.

It's a little sad and desperate when we picture us like that, on a desolate rock, orbiting a star on the vast cosmos, it almost brings tears to my eyes because that doesn't stop us, no matter what, we are singing swan songs throughout our lives not necessarily once, cause one can die many times, this song on the other hand is a swan song by definition. We are creating beautiful expressions called art, even if all will be lost in the end, we keep on trying, we keep on struggling, it's poetic.

Every word you typed resonated with me, i thank you for sharing your wisdom and heart, things you wrote are universal yet also so human. ^^ I'm deeply moved by your reply.

Yes it's not even about any of us, we are simply representing ( or like to think we do ) life on earth along with less evolved species and other life forms like plants.

Life on a little blue planet evolved itself a species who can express what it's like to be alive and how it feels to survive. We are an expression of life that can express life.

It's my pleasure doing this life thing with you. ^^ Let's just keep being tragically beautiful all along.

Rodney Sumner

This song was written by life, for life... It transcends ego and reaches that place within us where we are all one. In the end, it's not about reznor or cash. Or any of us. It's just life struggling to survive on a desolate rock orbiting a star on the vast cosmic arena.

One day, the sun will burn out. With it will go the life on earth. Tragically beautiful when viewed with the right lens.

All these songs and tones in the vocals that evoke those feelings and sends chills down the spine... All will be lost. Nothing matters. Yet, because nothing matters, it matters all the more.

Thanks for doing this life thing with me. I don't know who you are, or what you are going through in life. Your dreams or aspirations. Your family and friends.

Yet YOU exist. That's pretty cool from where I'M looking.

Reznor's version is a young man battling self-destructive tendencies.

Cash's version is an old man near the end of his life, looking back on past regrets.

Trent Reznor says about the Cash version of Hurt: "I'd been friends with Rick Rubin for several years. He called me to ask how I'd feel if Johnny Cash covered Hurt. I said I'd be very flattered but was given no indication it would actually be recorded. The idea sounded a bit gimmicky. Two weeks went by. Then I got a CD in the post. I listened to it and it was very strange. It was this other person inhabiting my most personal song. I'd known where I was when I wrote it. I know what I was thinking about. I know how I felt. Hearing it was like someone kissing your girlfriend. It felt invasive". Johnny played this song over 100 times before he recorded it. He called it "The best anti-drug song I ever heard." The song was released as a single in 2003. "One Hour Photo" director Mark Romanek said: “I begged Rick Rubin to let me shoot something to that track” being instantly enamored of the rendition, he offered to shoot the video for free. Universal eventually agreed to the music video, but with 71-year-old Cash’s health declining and being unwilling to stay long in the cold Tennessee weather as he was going on holiday to his ranch in Jamaica that coming Saturday, Romanek had only days to make the video and after scouting in Nashville, he decided upon Cash’s home and museum in Hendersonville, Tennessee, The House of Cash. "Arriving on Friday with no idea of what I was going to make" Romanek said. "I looked around the house and made a few suggestions of where we might film Johnny performing. I was making it up off the top of my head. Then I went to the House of Cash Museum and found it in total disrepair. There was no time to clean it up so I decided that I'd just film it, and Johnny, exactly as they were. He was no longer in his prime - he was fading and that was what I wanted to show. The place was in such a state of dereliction. That’s when I got the idea that maybe we could be extremely candid about the state of Johnny’s health - as candid as Johnny has always been in his songs. While I was filming the opening segment of Johnny playing guitar in his living room, his wife, June, came down the stairs and watched. The look on her face was so complex: full of love and pride and concern for her husband. So I asked her if I could film her too and she agreed. But the most important element was when we discovered a film archive in the museum. When we looked back at the rushes we'd filmed at the house we thought they were good but not great. But once we dropped in the archive footage of Johnny we realized that was the soul of the video. The whole thing was so spontaneous. It's made me realize that sometimes you can be too prepared and that there's some value to urgency." The music video speaks about the transience of life, the gracelessness of death, the Ozymandian crumbling of an oeuvre and the decline of a genre, an era and an attitude. The ‘closed to public’ sign on the museum. The cracked platinum records. The caviar and lobster banquet with no diners. The clips from earlier in Johnny’s career. His wife June looking on. The closed piano lid. The video was so intimate that Cash's management didn't think it should be released, and Johnny was leaning in that direction. According to Rick Rubin, it was his daughter, Rosanne Cash, who convinced Johnny to let it go. June died May 15th, 2003, three months after filming, Johnny died September 12, 2003 four months after his wife. Rick Rubin said of the video: “I cried the first time I saw it. If you were moved to that kind of emotion in the course of a two-hour movie, it would be a great accomplishment. To do it in a four-minute music video is shocking. I think the hurt video is a historical document, it's like looking back across a life." Trent Reznor was sent the video while in the studio with Rage Against the Machine’s Zach De La Rocha, and, when the pair sat down to watch it, any doubts he had about the cover were long gone. “We were in the studio, getting ready to work and I popped it in,” said Reznor. "Tears started welling up. I realized it wasn't really my song anymore. It just gave me goose bumps up and down my spine. By the end I was really on the verge of tears…there was just dead silence. There was, like, this moist clearing of our throats and then, ‘Uh, okay, let’s get some coffee.' It really, really made sense and I thought what a powerful piece of art. I never got to meet Johnny but I'm happy I contributed the way I did. It felt like a warm hug. It's an unbelievably powerful piece of work. After he passed away I remember feeling saddened, but being honored to have framed the end of his life in something that is very tasteful. For anyone who hasn't seen it, I highly recommend checking it out. I have goose bumps right now thinking about it. Having Johnny Cash, one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time, want to cover your song, that's something that matters to me. It's not so much what other people think, but the fact that this guy felt that it was worthy of interpreting. " by Cody Flanagan

Remy Lebeau

Excellent read! Just one thing though, I saw an interview somewhere that his daughter didn't actually want him to do this song. But she wanted the video to be released?

I am 32 now. I listened to this song drunk on whiskey and then had this moment of revelation. I actually realised I'm gonna die one day. Be gone forever. Left without any chance to compensate for any sin I've done. I spiraled into this thought until I decided to share it with my best friend (yes, I still have one). And he told me this thing, that.... uhm, made me reconsider. He told me "You are scared now, you are full of life. But what will you be in 40 years? Will you still want this life this bad? Maybe you'll be bored and tired of it.". And I gotta say, this thought comforted me greatly.

@speed demon955 I mean sure that's fair yeah but it was still uncalled for to shit on people who listen to rap for no reason lol

I'm not a fan of most Top 40 stuff, but so much of the other stuff is so good. If you like metal, you might like Run the Jewels (https://youtu.be/q6GyTBVAF4w) or Death Grips (https://youtu.be/2MHhLDCJ57E).

Questlove of The Roots (https://youtu.be/XfQzll6ggCw) is an incredible drummer.

Rap and blues have a lot in common, thematically. Jay Z's The Story of OJ riffs on that sort of thing (https://youtu.be/RM7lw0Ovzq0).

Justified By Faith Alone

Dear Friends: Do you believe in the true Gospel of Grace? Jesus Christ DIED for our sins; He was BURIED, and He ROSE AGAIN on the third day (1 Cor. 15:1-4). We are saved by GRACE through FAITH in the BLOOD atonement of Jesus Christ. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). Trust completely, with a heartfelt belief, in the blood atonement and finished work of Jesus Christ today! If you have made this life changing decision to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, please let me know, and I will pray for you.

You can feel in this song, that he struggled to forgive himself for all the wrongs of his past. I think this song will ring true to anyone that has demons they have had to face. He speaks as an old man who hurt his closest friends with his alcoholism, and you feel that regret in this song. An amazing man with an amazing story, which he told in every song he wrote.

Probably NIN fans who prefer the original. To be honest I think both are masterpieces but in different ways. Like another commenter said, the NIN version is like a young man fighting his depression and self destructiveness while the Cash version is an old man reminiscing on his past regrets. Both are great and emotional but they also have different purposes of what they’re portraying.

Don't be such a child. Go read about Cash's life, a "dislike" would hardly touch a nerve on him as did on you. Instead of judge other people around you, listen to the song, watch the video and learn something: life has an end, go live your life.

Your comment hits home for me. I unfortunately had an uncle overdose on heroin, and I think you're amazing and strong for being 6 years clean. I hear this song and it makes me think of my uncle, but it also reminds me of people like you who are in recovery.

@f f I have. It's just about perspective, everything will come to an end and if you are at a stage where you can't accept that then yes it will burn and hurt like nothing else. But you CAN reach a point of no suffering and pure acceptance of everything that happens in life. Rejoyce the good times, be thankful you were lucky enough to love somebody that hard and for so long. I am sorry for your loss, and I'm not trying to come across cold, but suffering is the doorway to enlightenment if you let it be. Or it can totally break you, it's just a matter of choice. Just google suffering enlightenment and see if anything there helps you . If not I wish you a whole and complete healing in time, and when you are ready. Much love x

I'm still young so maybe I'm too naive, but to me the way out is through. The people you see pass away would not want you to suffer, and just as you see everyday pass away and still fall assleep, you should be ready to move on after a loved one dies. If you were to die before them, would you want them to grieve till their tears carved an empty shell out of their body ? Or would you rather they live on experiencing life rather than longhing for the dead ? What I'm trying to say is that we shouldn't want life to end in any particular way for us or others because in many ways that is out of our control. But we can take death for what it is when it happens, and we should avoid contemplating what death, or life could have been.

@Samia Mi VS. Kulazzhell We are relating to him, his rendition of the song is so touching, and we'll all be there at one point, he seemed content, at peace with being at the end of the road, and they displayed this in the video. I can only hope he was. And he passed away soon after, in a year or so.. There is something melancholic and inevitable about us humans when you think about it; with all the good and bad memories, we wither and die.. I'm 37 and i'm only now realizing the value of my experiences, even the hard ones, sad ones, became precious to me, because i was crying out of passion, love, sadness and pain are related to elevated emotions like love and joy.. When i first discovered this song i was 31, i was beginning to feel how time works, and now i have a better understanding of it.

To be succint, i can say this is what i've learned from the passing of time; every memory is precious, and we shall value them, treasure them. This song and video i guess, reminds us of that. ^^

My father was the youngest of 10 brothers and sisters. He lived long. He saw all his brothers and sisters die. One by one. And he saw all his friends die. One by one. He died a little bit every time. When the last one died... he did it too, a few months later. He left behind an all-life wife and four grown up sons. I miss him very much. I'm the youngest of my brothers and I see them getting old, but I live 10,000 miles away from them. I'm getting old too. I think a lot about death. And I don't have the consolation of faith. I think all that remains when we go away is worms. Life is nonsense. I love my son. It's the only thing I know. This song is so touching.

Big John looks like DEATH WARMED OVER in that video. He would have been better off PASSING on that 'session'! BAD PR!

U know he's doing a cover of nine inch nails' song. He didn't write it. Type in nine inch nails hurt. It's better.
