Does anyone else think Johnny Cash’s hurt is almost eerie (hexbear.net)

Like it’s a look into a soul of one of the most famous musicians of all time right before they’re about to die. He’s showing us that whatever we ever have had is fleeting and time comes for us all :(

I am sure I will be the odd reply here but I fuckin hate his version of the song, just absolutely despise it. It sounds awful, he sounds like he's faking it, it was bad and trent reznor should have gotten a job doing mixing or some shit in the late 90s to prevent the rest of his career from happening

to be clear, the NIN early albums are fucking amazing

I don’t hate it as much, but I think the praise cash’s version gets is very much coloured by the context he sang it in. It sounds rough and without the story of his emotions it would be criticized a lot harder I feel
