    Said this before on this platform, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. It’s your opinion that you think Johnny’s version is better.

    I like both versions of the song. They have a different delivery.

        Not until he saw the video. He originally said after listening

        ive it a cursory listen. It sounded… weird to me. That song in particular was straight from my soul, and it felt very strange hearing the highly identifiable voice of Johnny Cash singing it. It was a good version, and I certainly wasn’t cringing or anything, but it felt like I was watching my girlfriend fuck somebody else.

          Some people are into that. Who’s to say Reznor wasn’t?

        Trent liking a cover version more doesn’t mean Trent didn’t write the original lyrics.

      I too like both versions, and actually writing such a powerful song is something Trent deserves huge credit for. Talent all round.

      I don’t know how to speak music, but I’ll try. I think the dissonant notes together with i believe micro tonal pitch bending (maybe I don’t know i have bad pitch) in the original better illustrate the discomfort of Trent very poetically.

      Also Cash sensoring the original lyrics is okay, but it doesn’t deliver has hard.

      Don’t get me wrong, both versions are beautiful, and this is just nit picking

        I think that Cash’s slow delivery, acoustic guitar, and deep, raspy voice, better delivers the despair and loneliness of the song.
