I convinced my ex wife to teach her high school English students these two songs and the affect that tone has on the words. One, NIN version, has a whole lot of self pity and self doubt. But when you play the other, Cash, it’s a deathbed confessional/apology.
Both very powerful and moving but the tone give them each a very different meaning.

This exactly - the difference in the 2 songs is the angle they approach it from. Cash’s deathbed approach really hits even harder when you watch the video. Gets me every time
