YouTube - Johnny Cash - 'Hurt"
"I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore… It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure." Trent Reznor speaking in Alternative press in 2004.
The video was nominated for seven VMAs, winning one for cinematography, and also won Romanek his third Grammy.
