===Covers===Hurt has been covered by a variety of artists, such as [[Matthew Good]], [[Peter Murphy]], and [[Sevendust]]. The song gained a new wave of popularity in 2002 when it was famously covered by [[Johnny Cash]], at the recommendation of producer [[Rick Rubin]]. This caused a lot of confusion for the audiences of Cash, who generally weren't familiar with the work of [[Nine Inch Nails]], often resulting in miscrediting the song to Cash. In Cash's version, the line "crown of shit" is changed to "crown of thorns," but is otherwise unchanged. ===Song Credits===*Production and Mix: [[Trent Reznor]]*Drums: [[Chris Vrenna]] ==Appearances=====Halos===*''The Downward Spiral''*''[[Further Down The Spiral]]''*''[[Closure]]''*''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]]'' (CD/DVD/VHS)*''[[Beside You In Time (halo)|Beside You In Time]]'' ==Versions=====Hurt===On the original album version, the guitars contain distortion, adding a ragged aesthetic. The song suddenly climaxes towards the end, while the final lyrics are whispered over the noise. A drone follows, and ends the song and the record. ===Hurt (Quiet)===The only real difference between this remix and the original is that the guitar sound is much cleaner and the climax towards the end is less drastic. ===Hurt (Live)===This live version is found on the UK edition of ''Further Down The Spiral.'' In this version the guitar is replaced with a piano. ===Hurt (''And All That Could Have Been'')===The guitar sound is replaced by piano, and a vocal harmony is added to the chorus. ===Hurt (''Beside You In Time'')===This live version starts with Reznor singing the vocal part and playing the piano melody solo on a keyboard. [[Jeordie White]] joins in on bass for the first chorus, and the rest of the band joins during the second chorus. ==Music Video==The video is simply tour footage of Trent Reznor singing behind the projection screen, with the image in the screen being featured prominently. This was released after a fully produced music video was scrapped. Both the scrapped studio video and the final live video were directed by [[Simon Maxwell]]. ==Lyrics== I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that’s real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end You could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear my crown of shit Upon my liar’s chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stain of time The feeling disappears You are someone else I am still right here What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end You could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way ==External Links==[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFx2TmQfM-o "Hurt" live music video] [[Category:NIN Songs]][[Category:Music VideosDisambiguation]]
