The original version is by Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails. The story goes that when Trent heard Johnny Cash cover the song he said " This is no longer my song, it belongs to Johnny Cash." R.I.P. Johnny Cash.

[TheViralInfekT]

One hell of a farewell letter to the world. Him closing the Piano kills me every time.

[jakobroynon-fisher]

Here's something to twist the knife in our hearts...

Johnny's daughter commented to him after the final recording, "Daddy, it sounds like you're saying goodbye..."

His reply, after a moment of silence, was: "It's because I was, sweetheart."

I can really relate to this now. I will be 72 years old in 3 days, and although I am absurdly healthy for my age, I know that I am much closer to the grave than to the cradle. I have a new hip and a new knee, and I am experiencing a rebirth of sorts. My new hobby is bikepacking and touring, and I'm enjoying my second childhood immensely. I have no presence on social media, I wouldn't know where to begin. I feel like a stranger in a strange land these days. YouTube is the closest I come, and sites like this are an absolute treasure. My best advice is to leave all regrets behind. They are way too much weight to carry!

[paulprovenzano]

Every time I see Johnny close that piano at the end ….. I remember them closing my wife’s casket, and me, looking upon her face for the last time.

EVERY. LAST. TIME.

[groobells]

Trent said he wrote the original song from the perspective of a young person looking at the future and feeling hopeless, and Johnny took the song from the perspective of an old man looking back. It was so powerful coming from Johnny due to his story and the raw authenticity he sings it from cause he lived it. Trent said it was so good he considers this the original song now. RIP Johnny Cash

[ExUSSailor]

Johnny took a deeply personal song about addiction, and, turned it into a melancholy retrospective of an entire lifetime of regrets, and, crafted the most heartfelt farewell in history.

[dr.tankenstien]

The Lady in the picture was his Mother. The Lady that was actually in the video was his wife June... She died three months after the video was released and he died 6 months later after her. In essence this was his goodbye and apology to his family and his God all in the same video for letting them both down in the long run. This song, though not his own, has been ranked as the #3 most beloved and moving Johnny Cash song of all time.

[thatdudekyle]

I think Johnny knew he was checking out soon. Thats why he put so much passion and emotion into it. When he closed the piano at the end, that was his “goodbye” to the world

[kurfsolb]

20 years after his passing, Johnny still can make girls cry.

[artsilva]

What makes it more emotional is knowing his wife June Carter Cash passed four months after the recording of this song and Johnny would follow soon after. Eventhough his health was deteriorating it was a broken heart of losing June that did him in, a true love story that began in the 60s.
Their daughter at one point was interviewed and said she first heard this song with her dad and she turned to him and said it sounded like a goodbye song of sorts, and Johnny replied, Perhaps.
Such a powerful song that hits you right in the gut and Johnny made it his own, even Trent Reznor, the one who wrote it publicly conceded it.
Another beautiful heartfelt reaction Aileen. Stay awesome and much love.

[albertsmith]

I'm a 65 year old, 22 years in military, been to war and think of myself as a tough guy, but I cry everytime that I see this video.

Can't name another song that hits me like this.

[johnnieangel]

Johnny's swansong. The closing of the piano is perfect. Rest in Peace to the Man in Black.

"In the end, all we have are our stories." Burt Reynolds, RIP.

[michaelmoslak]

Cash had a long battle with drug addiction. I'm 54 and disabled and deeply understand the regrets of life and how as we get older we would trade everything to get back our youth and health!! I think this song hits every man very hard.

[thedagwood]

Even though it's a cover, Johnny really made this song his own.

[darrenl]

The greatest cover ever.
Heartbreaking, tortured lyrics from a young genius, empathized with and repeated by an elder legend.

[artiemeyer]

The woman on the stairs was his wife, June Carter Cash. She was a musician herself and toured and performed with him. You can check out the 2 of them singing the song Jackson. The saddest thing is that she passed away during heart surgery before he passed. The line "What have I become, my sweetest friend. Everyone I know, goes away in the end" while showing June gets me every time...

[b.ramquist]

If this version doesn't give you "feels", you're already dead inside...

[dannylance]

The way Johnny Cash closes the piano is heart breaking in its own.
