Trivia
Trent Reznor reflected on the video saying, "I pop the video in, and wow. Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps. Wow. I felt like I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore. It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. Somehow that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning. Different, but every bit as pure."

"Everyone I know, goes away in the end": As Powerful As It Can Be

Not just it has become one of my favourite songs and videos (one that I can't stop watching even if it breaks my heart every damn time), but it is one of the greatest songs and music videos ever made. As a shattering reflection on life and as an emotional farewell to a giant career (and Life), Johnny Cash (and his wife June in one of her last appearances) says goodbye on an unforgettable fashion. "Everyone I know, goes away in the end."
