Hurt

Johnny Cash covered this Nine Inch Nails song and it is perhaps the best cover of a song I've ever heard (sorry Mr. Hendrix). I am not a fan of music video but even the video is well done. This song is so haunting...


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
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
i wear this crown of shit
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 would keep myself
i would find a way

It's almost like Johnny's waving goodbye.

Great video! Absolutely well done. Probably his last, unfortunately.

I heard this on NPR and couldn't believe it. NIN is better by a slim margin.
