Day 5

One of the saddest songs ever written: Hurt...it was written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails in 1995 and originally performed by the band. Since, it has been covered many times. My favorite cover below is by Johnny Cash....not only the best cover but I believe it is the very best version of the song...you can feel the pain and you know it's real. It was on his 2002 album: America IV: The Man Comes Around. Cash was 71 when he filmed the video and passed on 7 months later.
 
NIN original version...also very good...the lyrics tell all, not only is it a painful song but a song about Heroin...
A duet featuring the Legend David Bowie and Trent Reznor live in 1995
and finally Sevendust....a very good moving live dedication to Johnny Cash... from their 2004 live album Southside Double Wide Acoustic Live xx
