NIN came out with this song in 1994, Cash covered it 2002. Pretty sure that means it's originally a NIN song people.
:)
This is not the original, my blunt friend. The original is by Nine Inch Nails.
Johnny Cash covered it beautifully, as he did with other modern songs such as Rusty Cage (Soundgarden ) .
This is the original stupid.

This one and the original are both amazing songs
His music sure did get darker as his life went on. I know it's NIN's song but the fact he chose to cover it counts.
Anyone who insults Johnny Cash just doesn't know what music is all about, music comes from the heart not mind

Strongest cover by a true artist.
All the stuff I have been put through in life . . . This song makes me think of all of it go bye.
I always go sad when i heard this song beacuse of my uncle
This song makes me burst into tears every time since I lost my grandma from lung cancer.RIP mammy Lowe
jmorales3607
great cover to NIN. im sure J.Cash really related to it. RIP john
Trent Reznor gave birth to this song but Johnny Cash raised it! This song is Cash's.
R.I.P. JOHN CASH

Such a haunting cover. Made even more so knowing Johnny Cash's life. So what if he sang it from his death bed.
This is the most amazing covers I've ever heard. Johnny Cash is amazing. Love this song and the similar tracks.
HURT SO GOOD
Always brings a tear to my eye. I can't help it.

Amazing song. Definitely one of the rare cases where the cover excels the original. Video makes me tear up.
Amazing cover. Johnny Cash was the man.
YOU PUNKASSES DON'T KNOW PASSION AND EMOTION IN A SONG.THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL COVERS I HAVE EVER HEARD.I WAS ABSOLUTELY DRAINED THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT.
cash wrecked this song in his senility just like he would a car. f**k johnny cash, overrated no-talent shitstain.

OMG this is amazing

I have never heard a better cover of any song sung by anyone. "I wear this crown of s**t, upon my liar's chair."
This is just an awful cover. Nothing against Cash, obviously a legend, but this is just bad.
Cashes versions is so raw and yes this is cover and yes NIN is just BULL S**T
"sad lyrics"

Understateme n t , Pandora. Understateme n t .
I love both versions...j u s t the Cash version more :)
Trent Reznor said, after hearing the Cash version of his song, "the song wasn't his anymore". I tend to agree. Although I still love the original, there is something about this Cash version that is just too emotionally powerful. One of those rare instances where the cover betters the original.
Trent Reznor's version is more emotional, both the way it is sung and the guitar that is sounds slightly flat. Maybe because I heard his version first.

trent should cover a walk the line
Absolutely wonderful cover. The video gives me chills!

People thinking it must have been written by Johnny Cash is a compliment to Trent IMO. Not that Trent is a bad song writer, just that Johnny is a great song writer.
Hm, yes this cover is awesome. The man in black is way cool a comeback king:)

I like this song but, a little fact most people don't know. It was originally written by Elvis but he never got a chance to sing it.
I think somebody needs to change Tyler's diapers.

I prefer the NIN version but it can't be denied that this is a truly great remake. I hate people who think Cash wrote this and NIN covered it though. Get your f**kin' facts straight before you talk about s**t you know nothing about. Stupid ignorant people...
one of the most amazing songs ever. cash makes this song his
bmwmpower
What an honor it must be for Trent to have Cash cover this song...
great song. both versions are good, but cash's voice just puts this one on top...sorry nin.
THIS IS ONE OF THE ONLYS SONGS THAT HAVE EVER BEEN REMAID THAT THE REMAKE IS BETTER THEN THE ORIGINAL.
e.spanto
yeah....
this song is sweet reminds me why we fall in love
"Take what each of the songs says to you and go from there." Right on.
WTF!!! Yes, Trent Reznor did write this song.
bohocowgirl
God speed, Mr. Cash
trent reznor didnt write this song
sad :,(
