i love this song,it always touches me.the world is filled with so many things,so many people until sometimes i feel in the sublime of it all,i feel like just a tiny speck. there are alot of people around with wounds and hurts,they can be laughing and smiling all the time but they may be feeling deeply empty inside. i used to be like that,and slowly i healed. if u're like me,and we're the lucky ones who snapped out of our melancholy,remember to care about the others around u.:)
a while back i used to think it was so impt to be nice to everyone,until sometimes when it's really impossible and u're still trying your darnest best to live up to people's expectations,u forget,your life is actually also yours.in fact only yours. and at the end,u'll realize u're very hung up because u really cannot please everybody. don't start being mean and angry now,but know that u're as impt as the opinions of the other people in this world.something i learnt along the way that even if some of us have had some hard knocks before,it does not make us better or worse when we decide to not turn angry,vengeful and evil.because the truth of the matter is as plain as this: when u're hurt,u should not feel like nothing and when u've been liberated,u should not feel like u're a saint and martyr. that way,nothing is so bad that u want to break down,hit yourself and feel so cheated or robbed.:)

I love this version of the song, but the original has more power.
Trent Reznor said he cried after hearing the Johnny Cash version, saying that what was (for him) a deeply personal song was no longer his, but at the same time the weight of the lyrics had been lessened.
