Not for the faint of heart

Johnny Cash covered the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt". Recorded shortly before Johnny died, this has to be one of the most poignant Johnny Cash songs / videos ever. Images of the highlights of Cash's career, including movies, concerts, relationships, songs, paired with the words, "You could have it all / my empire of dirt / I will let you down / I will make you hurt." Vivid shots of Jesus' crucifixion and some amazing symbolism. Take a look, but be warned that this is not by any means a "feel good" video and it may (I can tell you from experience) haunt you.
