    For what it’s worth, Trent Reznor likes Johnny’s version better

      Not until he saw the video. He originally said after listening

      ive it a cursory listen. It sounded… weird to me. That song in particular was straight from my soul, and it felt very strange hearing the highly identifiable voice of Johnny Cash singing it. It was a good version, and I certainly wasn’t cringing or anything, but it felt like I was watching my girlfriend fuck somebody else.

        Some people are into that. Who’s to say Reznor wasn’t?

        When did I say anything about who wrote the lyrics?
