[[Image:PMTRHurt.jpg|thumb|150px|Artwork for the Peter Murphy and Trent Reznor version]]Hurt has been covered by a variety of artists, such as [[Tori Amos]], Matthew Good, [[Peter Murphy]], Breaking Benjamin, Underoath, Aaron Lewis, and Sevendust. The song gained a new wave of popularity in 2002 when it was famously covered by [[wp:Johnny Cash|Johnny Cash]], at the recommendation of producer [[wp:Rick Rubin|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===
The video is simply tour footage of Reznor singing behind a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrim_%28material%29 scrim]. The footage used for this (as well as the live videos for "[[Eraser]]" and "[[Wish (song)|Wish]]") was shot in Dallas, Texas and Omaha, Nebraska in February of 1995. This video 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]]. The live video can be found in the DualDisc edition of ''The Downward Spiral'' and also on ''Closure.'' Behind-the-scenes footage of the fully produced music video can be seen in the "Appendage" footage on the ''Closure'' DVD leak. The original video appears to be similar to the video for "[[Burn (song)|Burn]]". It features Reznor justified to the right of the screen, singing the song with footage of war atrocities and other acts of violence in the background, which is most likely the same footage projected in the live version.
