Without the video, its just depressing...


The video of Johnny Cash's remake of "Hurt" is extremely powerful. The video is simple, but the cuts and the montage towards the end of the song make it an amazing work of cinematography. Without the video, I think that the song itself is depressing. It has a very somber theme, but I think it is a good compromise from the latest "depressing" songs such as Papa Roach's "Scar." It has a more creative and artistic perspective which I think makes it easier to watch and to listen to as well as understand.
