[[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===
===Hurt===
This original album version uses slightly distorted guitars and disrupted noise loops, 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. This version was also featured as the final track on its promo, which also includes a clean version of the same mix.
A reversed version of the track is hidden on side B of the ''[[Not The Actual Events]]'' vinyl.
===Hurt (Instrumental)===
'''''Running Time: 4:56''''' Released by Reznor via his [[remix.nin.com]] account, this unmastered is an instrumental version is identical to of the album "Quiet" version, save the lack of vocals.
===Hurt (Quiet)===
'''''Running Time: 5:08'''''
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. There is also much less static filling the song's atmosphere. This version appears only on the US version of ''Further Down the Spiral'' and was later included on ''The Downward Spiral'' 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. Two additional versions of it were included on the "Hurt" promo: "(Quiet Version) Clean" is censored and fades out the noise loop ending, while "(Quiet Version) Soiled" is uncensored and uses a shorter rearrangement of the noise loops, which end suddenly.

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.''

The original video appears to be It is mostly similar to the original music 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 but includes some alternate takes, as well as some tracking shots of violence in the background, which audience members. It is most likely that this new edit (along with the same footage projected in live videos for "Eraser" and "Wish") were produced for Maxwell's abandoned professionally shot music concert film documenting the live version[[Further Down The Spiral Tour]] performances.
