    "Cash had about five decades of pain on Reznor when he first performed "Hurt"; you're just not fighting in same weight class." http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-cover-songs-that-stole-show-from-originals_p2/

      @scribusclaus that's what is so lovely, I think, about the two versions of the same song; the fact that they are almost identical in words yet worlds apart. Also in and of itself what makes language so interesting in any and all forms

        @natawl It would probably go terribly if you tried to listen to one in one ear and the other in the other, though. Or awesomely....

      @scribusclaus I'm pretty sure Trent Reznor said himself that he preferred Cash's version of the song.

        @noelnarwhal wouldn't be surprising, he did grow up since then.

          @natawl His description is pretty apt: "different, but every bit as pure"

        @noelnarwhal He at least stated that the song "belonged to Cash now."

          @scribusclaus He also stated Cash's version gave him tears and goosebumps, though I'm pretty sure that just means he has a heart
