Johnny Cash - Hurt [PO, Nine Inch Nails cover] [2002]
Johnny Cash - Hurt (PO, Nine Inch Nails cover)
In 2002, Johnny Cash covered the song for his album, American IV: The Man Comes Around.
The music video was directed by former NIN-collaborator Mark Romanek who sought to capture the essence of Cash, both in his youth and in his older years. In a montage of shots of Cash's early years, twisted imagery of fruit and flowers in various states of decay, seem to capture both his legendary past and the stark and seemingly cruel reality of the present.
Romanek had this to say about his decision to focus on the House of Cash museum in Nashville:
“It had been closed for a long time; the place was in such a state of dereliction. That's when I got the idea that maybe we could be extremely candid about the state of Johnny's health, as candid as Johnny has always been in his songs.”
71 years of age at the time of filming (in February 2003), Cash had serious health problems and his frailty is starkly evident in the video. He died seven months later (September 12); his wife, June Carter Cash, who participated in the video, died three months after filming (May 15), closely preceding him in death. 'Hurt' is considered by many to be Cash's epitaph.
In July 2011, the music video was named one of "The 30 All-TIME Best Music Videos" by Time.
The house where Cash's music video for 'Hurt' was shot, which was Cash's home for nearly 30 years, was destroyed in a fire on April 10, 2007. (Source: Wikipedia)
