Hurt

"Hurt" by Johnny Cash is a hauntingly beautiful song in the key of A minor. Originally written and performed by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Cash's cover of the song was released in 2002 as part of his album "American IV: The Man Comes Around." The song reflects on themes of regret, pain, and redemption, with Cash's weathered voice adding a poignant depth to the lyrics. The music video, directed by Mark Romanek, features intimate footage from Cash's life and career, adding to the emotional impact of the song.
