There's an extra layer of heartbreak in the video: parts of it were filmed in the wreckage of the House of Cash museum in Tennessee. It was destroyed by flooding years prior and never reopened. The rest was filmed in Cash's house in Hendersonville TN, which burned down in 2007. The vast majority of things in the video are gone along with him and June.

Trent Reznor's on record as saying he wasn't particularly impressed when he heard just the audio version of this song, but once he saw the video for it is when he said he knew it was no longer his song. this is one instance where you REALLY need to watch the official video to get the full impact.

As a musician and producer, I'm a huge fan of how you break these down. Not taking too many breaks, simplifying the way you explain things. You're a good dude and you're doing great things for the metal community with a lot of these videos. You're appreciated.

Trent Reznor himself said this was an entirely different song than he wrote. Just by having a man of Johnny's years and knowledge and heartache sing his lyrics changed it.

Rick Rubin begged Johnny to record this track, Johnny was very unconvinced at first. He didn't see how to make this his own, but they obviously figured it out.

One of the things about this cover, once his daughter heard it she said dad this sound like you are saying goodbye, he replied I am. This was the only song he done after he lost his wife and died shortly after making the video. RIP THE LEGEND

Johnny Cash took a seriously disturbing song and made it his own by pouring a lifetime of his own pain into the lyrics. A song which touches me deeply as I think of those I've lost in my life. Ultimately, we all hurt.

@parmgill9330 5 years ago

Both Johnny and his wife (who you see in the video) died within months of filming the video. Seriously, anyone who liked this song should check out all the albums Johnny put out with American recordings. Lots of great songs/covers including Danzig's "Thirteen" and Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage". I found so many gems listening to these albums he put out in his latter years.

The video version of this song makes a Bigger impact than just the music (alone) version

@Revamckillop 5 years ago

Oh damn dude. You should have checked the official vid. The emotion from him adds so much more to his "remake"

@Stranj100 1 year ago

This is probably one of the most emotionally powerful songs I have ever heard.

I had the honor of helping with this song. He had an IU professor work on this too.

When I heard this song, i knew I didn't want to leave this planet with a lot of regret. I mended a few bridges and it put me at peace. Thanks, Johnny.

The song is very emotional but I think the music video for the song is on a whole other level. It really paints the picture of his feeling of pain, regret, and remembrance.

"You don't know what a person's been through till you hear them sing it from the heart."

"It sounds like you're saying 'goodbye'".

"I am".

@MrSchism 5 years ago

No matter how old you are, you need to hear this song. You just never know this fact until it happens to you.

@yvesboucher178 5 years ago

As great as this cover is. John Cash also covered Sound Garden's Rusty Cage. He did this song justice. You should give it a listen.

@thedaylightwolfman564 5 years ago

If you're not watching the video you're not experiencing the sheer Beauty of Johnny Cash covering this song there's a reason he did and it's because it suits his life so perfectly.

@garrymoore2161 4 years ago

It was so sad; he knew he was approaching life's end and he would never play again. He so lovingly closes the piano and caresses it as if to say "goodbye" to a lifelong friend.
