It is an amazing cover and song . . . but . . .

Florence + The Machine - " I Don't Wanna Know ( Mario Winan ) "

Florence + the Machine - " Oh Darling ( The Beatles ) "

KIMBRA - " Plain Gold Ring " ( Nina Simone )

Annie Lennox - " Under Pressure " ( Queen x Bowie )

Aretha Franklin - " Natural Woman " ( Carole King )

I mean . . . it has some competition. More than I could name.

Thanks, I’ll check these out.

My post was a reference to the fact that every time there is a post about covers, the first person to write Johnny cash hurt gets an automatic 10,000 upvotes. Its pretty good I guess, but I think it’s worse than the original.

That's my take on Hurt basically. I feel the best part about Cash's version is the music video which I think is phenomenal. But the cover itself doesn't work for me, especially next to the original.
