MODERATORS
Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt doesn't deserve the praise it gets. If anyone else recorded it, no one would care. His singing sounds bad.
And to add to it, it's a song about drug addiction and depression....but the music video is a highlight real of how awesome Cash's life was.
Just to be a devil's advocate, his life was pretty full of heavy amphetamine addiction from the late 50s to the 90s. His recording sounds like a man singing about the hurt he no doubt caused to himself and those he loved during the decades of drug abuse, no matter how shiny that life looked from the outside.
Songs still sounds like shit and the music video i of still a highlight reel
This is also my hill
People always talk about how emotional the cover is...
That's just the warbly singing voice of an old man
HAVE YOU HEARD THE ORIGINAL??? Talk about emotion. It's not even a contest
Hahahaha right! Like there's so much depth in the original version, the ending is (to me) a little hopeful, a broken man who is going to find a way to keep himself and find a way, to paraphrase the song 🤣
