===Hurt (Instrumental)===
'''''Running Time: 4:56'''''
Released by Reznor via his [[remix.nin.com]] account, this is an instrumental of the "Quiet" version.
===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.

==Music Video==
[[Image:Hurtstill.jpg|thumb|Screenshot from the "Hurt" video]]
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 A second edit of "Hurt" was released on ''Closure.'' It is mostly similar to the original music video, but includes some alternate takes, as well as some tracking shots of the audience members. It is likely that this new edit (along with the live videos for "Eraser" and "Wish") were produced for Maxwell's abandoned professionally shot music concert film documenting the [[Further Down The Spiral Tour]] performances.
Behind-the-scenes footage of the original 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, presumably the same footage projected in the live version. A 2016 interview with Maxwell gives background information about both the original and the final, released video.[http://pantograph-punch.com/post/interview-with-simon-maxwell]

"Hurt" is one of the most commonly played live songs throughout all eras. It is normally played towards the end of the main set, though it was featured during the mid-set slow section of the [[Further Down The Spiral Tour]].
