If I were Reznor, that would be the thing that lets me die happy.
Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt

Trent Reznor even said it’s no longer his (Trent’s) song

I’ve heard both versions probably a hundred times each and only hear Johnny Cash’s voice anymore.
I had never heard Trent Reznor’s original or Johnny Cash’s cover so thank you for mentioning it. What an incredible music video!
