Saw one of those retro rock posts: Nine Inch Nails’ Hurt was released today in 1995 as a Fun Fact. Whatever.

Cash & Romanek Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid-ed that song. Shout out to Rick Rubin!

In 2002, Johnny Cash covered the song for his album American IV: The Man Comes Around. And this timelessly remains one of the best music videos of all time.

It Hurts how potent this is.
