Totally agree with this answer - although it was originally written and performed by Nine Inch Nails
by jangobean on August 14th, 2006
I know that.
by travis bickle on August 14th, 2006
The Johnny Cash version chokes me up though (especially with the video) the Nine Inch Nail one doesn't.
by Anonymous on August 25th, 2006
I love Johny Cash.
by RFlagg on August 27th, 2006
Johnny Cash is the greatest
by anonymous on November 18th, 2006
I couldn't agree more..great answer
by Mr. McClister on December 3rd, 2006
i love that song
by Seraphim Shinobi on February 16th, 2007
+3 - totally agree. Listening to it now. It resonates with me every time.
by PrettyPirate on February 23rd, 2007
It never gets old, does it?
by travis bickle on February 24th, 2007
I prefer Trent Reznor, but it is the same song. Lol.
by Anonymous on February 25th, 2007
I totally agree 100% and the music video with him and his wife make it that much better.
by shellyg on February 28th, 2007
That song can rip my heart out. +
by Mrs.Dufresne on February 28th, 2007
i like both version a lot, which is strange for me, but i the j. cash version seems more sad for some reason.
by zee-ster on March 6th, 2007
think thats bad watch the video
by Crazed_Wiseman on March 19th, 2007
actually, i have watched the video and that likely added to the sadness. either way though, it seems more sad with j. cash.
by zee-ster on March 20th, 2007
Hurt was originally a Nine Inch Nails song that cash covered, figured i would share that if you didnt know. But i agree one of the saddest songs i've heard.
by Draven on March 21st, 2007
but cash made the song first, nine inch nails didn't make it im pretty sure
by Crazed_Wiseman on March 21st, 2007
Nine Inch Nails did make it first. It's on "The Downward Spiral".
by Anonymous on March 21st, 2007
No im 100% sure that Nine Inch Nails made it first. "The video for "Hurt", a cover of the Nine Inch Nails song, and generally recognized as 'his epitaph' [6], from American IV received particular critical and popular acclaim." - www.wikipedia.org
by Draven on March 21st, 2007
yeah, johnny cash may have been older, but he wasn't the one who came out with the song first. which reminds me of when i heard his "personal jesus" cover; i was wondering if perhaps he was the original artist who wrote it (he wasn't).
by zee-ster on March 21st, 2007
I read an article about Nine Inch Nails feeling so blessed that Cash decided to do a cover of their song. It was honor for them.
It really is amazing, the video is so emtional.
by shellyg on May 18th, 2007
i agree,the video is mindnumbing.so sad.
by joydivision84 on December 18th, 2007
that is the sign if truely good art, imo. anything that can make you feel that much, that's powerful.
by zee-ster on December 18th, 2007
I know it's like his life in a music video as if he knew he was going to die. So sad. He had the ultimate old guy voice.
by OmarFW on February 18th, 2008
I don't agree with this answer anymore. I wonder if it would piss people off if I edited it, seeing as I already got 101 points on its behalf. To do, or not to do, that is the question.
by travis bickle on February 21st, 2008
lol! that's funny satine. that happens to me sometimes, too. maybe you could just post a 2nd answer. oh, and omar - i agree with you there. although, i'm not sure about the part about him dying. i mean, he was getting up there in age... i dunno.
by zee-ster on February 22nd, 2008
Well of course it isn't true no. But that's what I got from it anyway.
by OmarFW on February 23rd, 2008
I think I'll leave it for now, zee. If I'm ever feeling especially evil, I'll edit it.
by travis bickle on February 24th, 2008
It's actually a cover of a Nine Inch Nails song. I think it's cool that Cash knew about them.
by Nablur on March 20th, 2008
Thats actually incorrect, Nine Inch Nails did the cover of Johnny Cash's song Hurt.
by Kaidou on March 20th, 2008
That's actually CORRECT. Trent Reznor wrote the song. It's on a Cash cd of cover songs. Sure, he wrote all the songs of that cd and they had all been preiously recorded by other people before Cash recorded them...ummm...okay...
by king of ellipses on March 21st, 2008
Cash also covered Soundgarden & Depeche Mode, so what?
by travis bickle on March 21st, 2008
Let's clear this up, TRENT REZNOR WROTE AND SANG THE SONG FIRST. JOHNNY CASH COVERED IT LATER BECAUSE TRENT REZNOR IS A FAN OF JOHNNY CASH.
by OmarFW on March 22nd, 2008
Johnny Cash wrote Hurt and gave it to Trent. Johnny Cask is still alive. He lives in Trent Reznor's basement.
by travis bickle on March 22nd, 2008
um, im gonna disregard that last statement.
wow i wish u could rate comments of comments right now.
by OmarFW on March 22nd, 2008
that's it!!! i'm pulling this fucking car over and stopping right now.
by zee-ster on March 25th, 2008
LMAO!!!
by OmarFW on March 26th, 2008
:D okay, you're laughing now. here, have a cookie! <passes cyber cookie to omar>
by zee-ster on March 26th, 2008
*munch* *munch* UUUUUUURRRRPP

It's moonshine. I can smell it on her.
by travis bickle on March 30th, 2008
YIKES!!! :O <fleeing the scene of moonshine!>
by zee-ster on March 30th, 2008
Dat was a good cookie.
by OmarFW on March 31st, 2008
gewd! i try.
by zee-ster on March 31st, 2008
i was going to say that,have you seen the movie based on his life called "walk the line" it's great
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on May 28th, 2008
It is originally by nine inch nails
by venial on June 21st, 2008
lol yes ty venial. It was written by trent resnor who is a fan of johnny cash (and may have been friends with him. dunno.) anyways, johnny cash did a cover of this song because of it.
seriously, to all you idiots who think you know stuff about music, don't talk about music if you don't know what your talking about.
by OmarFW on June 21st, 2008
ok omar chill i think we established that nine inch nails wrote the original.
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on June 22nd, 2008
I know. I'm just tired of people being idiots. or I'm just tired. I need to sleep. ugh.
by OmarFW on June 23rd, 2008
if you are actually expecting humans not to be stupid, you are going to be let down a whole lot! i say, get some z's.
by zee-ster on June 27th, 2008
lol thats very true
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on June 27th, 2008
eh, tis true. I am on an endless journey of which I shall never fulfill.
I guess that makes me just as stupid.
by OmarFW on June 28th, 2008
Its not by Johnny Cash...Its by Trent Reznor. Good song though
by shadoweater on September 2nd, 2008
I know Trent Reznor wrote it, but Johnny Cash's version is the saddest.
by jangobean on September 2nd, 2008
Nine Inch Nails' version is far more gut-wrenching.
by piggypig890 on September 14th, 2008
is anyone else feel like were going round in circles lol
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 14th, 2008
We're all agreed that Trent Reznor wrote an unbelievably heart wrenching emotional song.
Johnny Cash makes it gut wrenching.
by jangobean on September 14th, 2008
Well I feel the only way to kill this is to hijack it.
Anyone like donuts?
by OmarFW on September 14th, 2008
agreed,end of discusion (hopefully)
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 14th, 2008
i love donuts
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 14th, 2008
donuts are pretty awesome. especially apple fritters and boston cream ones.
Hopefully this will get long enough that AB will just delete it. xP
by OmarFW on September 20th, 2008
does that happen i've seen longer treads than this on ab
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 22nd, 2008
ah nvrmind then.
anyway. i like donuts
by OmarFW on September 24th, 2008
so do i but cookies are better
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 25th, 2008
Very good choice, great video.
by Cognition aka Cog on September 26th, 2008
cookies? eh not if they're dried up.
A nice moist cookie does beat a donut though. mmmm raisin.
by OmarFW on September 27th, 2008
true you cant beat a moist cookie
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 28th, 2008
with raaaaaaisinnnsssssss *graaaaglghrprgr*
by OmarFW on September 28th, 2008
hurt by johnny cash???? its a cover. he didnt even write it
by Capital J on April 27th, 2009
please i'm begging you dont start that again did you not read the thread
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on April 27th, 2009
p.s whats better cookies or donuts.
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on April 27th, 2009
your right i answered before reading. and donuts are waaaaaaaay better.
by Capital J on April 27th, 2009
thank you i hope for your sake you dont get draged into the madness that was this thread,and as i've allready said cookies (assumeing there moist)are way better.
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on April 27th, 2009
donuts are better. hands down. sorry they just are.
by OmarFW on May 4th, 2009
cookies all the way
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on May 5th, 2009
hmm. im gonna have to disagree. first off, what kind of cookies?
by OmarFW on May 20th, 2009
i love all kinds but double choc chip is my faverite.
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on May 21st, 2009
such an awsome remake. johnny made it sound chilling.
rip johnny
by buffalovirgo on August 4th, 2009
i'm with your there the worlds a worse place without him
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on August 4th, 2009
buffalovirgo,what do you like more donuts or cookies
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on August 4th, 2009
there's no cookie no matter how good that could beat a creme filled caramel heath bar donut from krispy kreme.
by OmarFW on August 10th, 2009
what about the double chip?
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on August 11th, 2009
eeeeeeeeh naw. i like oatmeal raisin better then any form of chocolate cookie anyway.
or those sugar ones with tons of frosting on top. lemon flavor preferably.
by OmarFW on August 11th, 2009
i've never had lemon flavour i dont think you can beat double choc
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on August 12th, 2009
i don't like chocolate
by OmarFW on August 17th, 2009
i wonder how may flavours there are
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on August 18th, 2009
>9000
by OmarFW on August 21st, 2009
wow that's a lot of flavours
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on August 21st, 2009
hurt is morbid....
by shawndella on August 25th, 2009
you clearly have no taste in music!!!!
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on August 25th, 2009
Nonsense....I clearly have plenty of taste in music...especially in Johnny Cash....But this song was morbid. That is my opinion, not a fact. Was not trying to step on toes, I just think there could have been a better chioce of song.
by shawndella on August 25th, 2009
just playing with you lol,sad songs are often morbid
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on August 25th, 2009
I wouldn't go so far as to call it morbid. What makes you call it morbid? It's sad yes, but to call it morbid makes it sound like you think the song shouldn't of been written.
unless you mean the nine inch nails version, in which case i can agree with the morbid reference.
by OmarFW on August 31st, 2009
COOKIES!!! After all, there is no donut monster. Cookies utilize their surface area with sugary goodness more efficiently. Donuts take up lots of space, with far less sugar. Real estate can get expensive, so obviously cookies are superior.
by zee-ster on September 4th, 2009
well said zee-ster cookies are clearly better.
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 4th, 2009
Thanks. I'd like to add something to that last comment. Just because I think cookies are superior, does not mean that I intend to destroy the inferior desserts. (:
by zee-ster on September 4th, 2009
that's very noble of you,dont you think the donuts needs knocking down a few pegs it's getting a bit big headed.
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 4th, 2009
doughnuts arent desserts, theyre breakfast, you could never consider cookies a meal
by Capital J on September 5th, 2009
cookies can be a meal if you eat them with milk
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 6th, 2009
i guess your right, but even with milk they cant come close to the greatness of a doughnut.
by Capital J on September 7th, 2009
doughnuts dont last as long as cookies and there image has been ruined my fat cops.
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 7th, 2009
donuts can also be eaten with milk. it seems weird but it is possible.
tell me, have you ever eaten a custard filled cookie? or a caramel covered cookie topped with chunks of heath bar with a fudge filling?
i think not. krispie kreme is awesome and can't be beat by some dull bland cookies.
by OmarFW on September 13th, 2009
i've had rolo cookies they were great.
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 13th, 2009
I prefer regular rolos lol
by OmarFW on September 13th, 2009
toffe crisp coockies our nice
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 13th, 2009
http://blog.ratestogo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/doughnut.jpg
you cannot resist the awesomeness of this picture. nothing beats a warm melt in your mouth krispie kreme donut.
by OmarFW on September 14th, 2009
the link does'nt work and a warn cookie can also melt in your mouth
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 14th, 2009
i dunno what cookies you're eating but i wanna try one.
i've never had one melt in my mouth. ever.
sure i've had chewy ones and those are among the most enjoyable ones i've had so far. but melt? eeeeeeeh i dunno.
maybe if i installed an incinerator in my mouth.
by OmarFW on September 20th, 2009
you have to go some where that they bake there own and eat them straight out of the oven.
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 20th, 2009
grrrrrrrrrr i want cookies and donuts now.
and taco bell.
and orange chicken.
and nos.
by OmarFW on September 21st, 2009
lol,i'm hungry but cant be botherd to get out of bed
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 21st, 2009
If school hadn't started I would've died and rotted away in my bed this summer from that very reason.
by OmarFW on September 21st, 2009
lol,i remember those days
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 21st, 2009
*noms on donut*
by OmarFW on September 23rd, 2009
hows the new term going
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 23rd, 2009
crappy. not enough donuts.
by OmarFW on September 24th, 2009
lol,that is one of the big problems in the world today
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 24th, 2009
omnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom
anyway yah johnny cash's version was better
by OmarFW on September 25th, 2009
oh yeah cash,i know we were talking about something before the donuts.
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 26th, 2009
aw man now i want donuts again.
donuts and steak.
by OmarFW on September 27th, 2009
lol,thats a random conbination
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 27th, 2009
no such thing when it comes to food
by OmarFW on September 29th, 2009
I think cookies could totally be a meal. Then again, I've had pickles for breakfast! I'm not so big on the donuts. I think I overdosed on them years ago when I lived across from a donut shop...
by zee-ster on September 29th, 2009
lol
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on September 29th, 2009
donuts are amazing!!! how can you resist their battery fluffy goodness
by OmarFW on September 30th, 2009
Willpower. :D Plus, they go straight to my ass & I already have a nice amount of junk in that trunk! Either way, they aren't as tempting as they used to be. I had way too many in a short time frame...
by zee-ster on October 1st, 2009
when was the last time you had a krispie kreme donut?
do you even realize the difference in caliber between a donut shop donut and a krispie kreme?
lol
by OmarFW on October 2nd, 2009
in other news. taco bell is awesome.
by OmarFW on October 28th, 2009
i wish we got taco bell in the u.k.
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on October 31st, 2009
you don't have taco bell?? O_O
by OmarFW on November 1st, 2009
no it really sucks
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on November 1st, 2009
well, i will admit that a lot of the food there does suck. but the burritos are all pretty much awesome and the chalupas are the bomb. also the nachos can be good. america sure has a lot of really really disgusting fast food but taco bell is my fav out of all the crap.
by OmarFW on November 24th, 2009
taco bell is one of the few american chains that has'nt made it to the u.k yet i dont think there's any fast food i dont like lol.
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on November 25th, 2009
america is the fast food capital and believe me, there is some pretty digusting crap out there.
taco bell is one of the few goodies.
by OmarFW on November 30th, 2009
hell yeah i love this song. so much passion.
by wonlasttime on December 1st, 2009
the real question is, do you love donuts or cookies?
by OmarFW on December 2nd, 2009
