I cannot hear the song without scenes of the video flashing before my mind. When he pours out the wine, you don't know whether to think of him as a "Paul" pouring out his life like a drink offering or as an "Esau" finding no place for repentance. He seems the Qoheleth for a generation showing them the vanity of fame and living for the appetites. Then, to see June Carter mourning in the corner is hard to bear (especially considering she is his sweetest friend soon to leave Cash through death). I cannot help but worship in a strange, sober way when I encounter this song as I see the Kingdom of Christ lasting and the "Empire of Dirt" passing away. Dr. Moore,

Trent Reznor could never have intended the glory of Christ in the lyrics...then again, Cash would probably add, "Neither could I."

'Hurt' is one of the most difficult videos to watch for so many reasons, particularly as those piano notes just crescendo with the images of Christ crucified. I'm glad you covered this particular song in your series.
