In 2002, Johnny Cash covered "Hurt" to commercial and critical acclaim. The related music video is considered one of the greatest of all time by publications such as NME. Reznor praised Greenbacks's interpretation of the song for its "sincerity and meaning," going so far as to say "that song isn't mine anymore."[3]

Meaning [edit]

The song includes references to cocky-impairment and heroin addiction, though the overall meaning of the song is disputed. Some listeners contend that the song acts as a suicide annotation written by the song's protagonist, as a consequence of his low, while others claim that it describes the difficult procedure of finding a reason to alive in spite of depression and pain and does not accept much to exercise with the storyline of The Downward Spiral.[4]

Music video [edit]

The music video for Nine Inch Nails' original version of "Hurt" is a live performance that was recorded before the evidence in Omaha, Nebraska, on Feb 13, 1995, and can be institute on Closure and the DualDisc re-release of The Downward Spiral. The sound portion appears on the UK version of Farther Down the Spiral. The version released on Closure differs slightly from the video originally aired on MTV. In addition to using an uncensored sound runway, the Closure edit shows alternate views of the audience and operation at several points during the video.

To picture the video, a scrim was dropped in front of the ring on stage, projected onto which were diverse images to add together visual symbolism to fit the song's subject matter, such as war atrocities, a nuclear flop test, survivors of the Battle of Stalingrad, a snake staring at the camera, and a time-lapse picture of a fox decomposing in opposite. A spotlight was cast on Reznor and so that he tin can exist seen through the images. Compared to the live renditions performed on future tours, this version most resembles the studio recording with its use of the song's original samples.[ citation needed ]

There are also official live recordings on the afterward releases And All that Could Take Been and Beside You in Fourth dimension. Each version features distinct instrumentation by the varying members of the ring in the respective eras.

Alive performances [edit]

During the Noise tour in 1995, when Nine Inch Nails opened for David Bowie, Bowie sang "Injure" in a duet with Reznor, backed by an original melody and beat. This served as the determination to the dual act that began each Bowie set up.

During the Fragility tours, the progression was performed by Robin Finck on acoustic guitar rather than on pianoforte.

Since the 2005–06 Live: With Teeth tour, Ix Inch Nails has been playing "Hurt" in a more toned-downwards style, featuring only Reznor on keyboard and vocals until the last chorus, when the rest of the band joins in.

The vocal was brought back to its original form during the Lights In The Sky tour in 2008, before returning to the toned down manner on the 2009 Wave Farewell bout.

When Reznor was asked if Greenbacks could comprehend his song, Reznor said he was "flattered" but worried that "the idea sounded a bit gimmicky." He became a fan of Cash's version, however, in one case he saw the music video.

I pop the video in, and wow... Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, considering that song isn't mine anymore... It really made me think near how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, virtually a dour and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds upwardly reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically unlike era/genre and still retains sincerity and significant – different, simply every scrap as pure.[16]
