Cash's version was the cover.

NIN came out with Hurt in 1995. It's pretty much a classic of the period.

Cash covered it in 2002.


Anyway, I prefer NIN.
I just saw this thread and thank god someone said that even though it took a long damn time. I kept cringing as I scrolled down not seeing anyone say it.

Edit: Also, will, the Johnny Cash movie came out 3 years after Cash's version of the song, I really don't see how it was a gimmick for the movie

As for my feelings of which is better, I will choose the NIN version. I love the Cash version but they convey different emotions. Trent was going through some bad times in his life when he wrote that song and it's really conveyed. To me it comes off as a song about someone angry at the world and his regret for his past and about his drug abuse. The Cash version (exemplified in the video) is about a man on his deathbed and in frail form. It's more of a goodbye song. They are both extremely emotional songs but for some reason I connect with the original version more. I guess it's because I haven't really had an entire lifetime to look back on.
