Same.

It also applies to "Hurt" originally by Trent Reznor.

I like the NIN version of hurt, but I love the Johnny Cash version. It’s just resonates so much better with me.

There was apparently a lot of shit going on in Johnny Cash’s life at the time too. He ultimately died 7 months after filming the music video and June died 3 months after he filmed the music video.

Saddest music video of all time article

I do agree that his version of Hurt is fucking phenomenal!

Well, Reznor didn't secretly write Hurt for JC. He released it on Downward Spiral in 94. JC just covered it. Same for Rusty Cage and Personal Jesus.

I addressed this statement:

I like both versions but I have to say I think Johnny did it better.
