Wow! Thanks for posting this, it was awesome, so joyous. Listened to it once, then called my husband in to listen to it again. We found ourselves wondering how Mozart or Beethoven  would react to it 😉

"Hurt"   9 Inch Nails cover by Johnny Cash

 

https://youtu.be/vt1Pwfnh5pc

 

IMHO, this cover towers over the original, because of the storyteller.

This is fabulous and I have to agree with you on the Cash cover!  One of the comments on the video was

" If Johnny Cash covers your song , its no longer your song!"

Love, love, love this cover, he injects anger into this cover which is not as apparent in the original.

"And the people bowed and prayed

 to the neon god they made"

has special resonance for me today. :smileywink:
