Just to let you know, johnny cash wrote hurt , not nine inch nails. :/
rserpe on Tue, 4th Nov 2008 8:13 pm
Actually It was written by Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails. It was on their Downward Spiral Album then in 2002 Cash covered the song.
Tom Fontana on Mon, 4th May 2009 1:53 pm
Yep, it was definitely Trent Reznor, not Johnny Cash, even though I think the Cash version is much better. The wikipedia page on the song even has what Reznor had to say about the Cash version, its very much worth reading.

This website is truly amazing! It helps enhance a beginners experience on the guitar and can provide motivation at the same time. Something that could be added is how to change guitar strings, and tune your guitar properly. Other then that I look forward to continue to using this site! (after I get my guitar fixed…)

As a matter of fact, Nine Inch Nails did write the song,
and while Johnny Cash was dying, he thought the lyrics fit his life perfectly, so he made the song his, but the original is by Nine Inch Nails. Search it up
