Johnny Cash's version of Hurt

Trent Reznor even said it's no longer his (Trent's) song

I don't know what Reznor and Cash's relationship was, but that has to feel so surreal for Reznor. You never see older artists cover newer ones in general, let alone such a legendary country artist cover a young alternative rock artist. If I were Reznor, that would be the thing that lets me die happy.

I’ve heard both versions probably a hundred times each and only hear Johnny Cash’s voice anymore.

I had never heard Trent Reznor's original or Johnny Cash's cover so thank you for mentioning it. What an incredible music video!
