Piosenka, która wybiła Nine Inch Nails. Coverowana wielokrotnie, przez naprawdę różnych twórców (Bowie, Peter Murphy, Sad Kermit, czy chociaż Johny Cash). Piosenka genialna, tekst genialny, wykonanie genialne. W prawdzie to nie oryginał, ale moim zdaniem niezbyt wiele temu wykonaniu do doskonałości brakuje.
Trent Reznor i David Bowie - Hurt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCMLwbdSrTY
Nine Inch Nails przez spory czas było supportem na koncertach Bowiego (wiele ludzi miało mu to za złe), no i właśnie podczas jednego z takich koncertów zaśpiewali to razem.
A, film pochodzi z DVD "Closure".
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel.
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real.
The needle tears a hole,
the old familiar sting.
Try to kill it all away,
but I remember everything.
What have I become,
my sweetest friend?
Everyone I know,
goes away in the end.
And you could have it all:
my empire of dirt.
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear my crown of shit
on my liar's chair.
Full of broken thoughts,
I cannot repair.
Beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
I am still right here.
What have I become,
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know,
goes away in the end.
And you could have it all:
my empire of dirt.
I will let you down.
I will make you hurt.
If I could start again,
a million miles away...
I would keep myself,
I would find a way.
