I've always preferred that version over Johnny Cash's.

I have to say

Dirt by Alice In Chains

But if you take into consideration what JC faced as a person (all the drugs and alcohol, hurting his friends and family), it gives it more meaning. But that's pretty much the only NIN song I've listened to, so I don't really know Trent's story behind it.

I like Trent's voice behind it much better, I think it just fits better.

Yeah, especially when it goes from a whisper to a yell in the chorus :P

I can think of quite a few.

"I Stay Away" by Alice in Chains probably lets you know better than any amount of literature how it feels to have an addiction that you want to overcome but which you keep slipping back into.

"Black" by Pearl Jam is a song that anyone will understand who found what they thought was the perfect girl and then watched her get with someone else.

"Sorrow" by Pink Floyd is about the most poetic way I've ever heard of expressing the pain and anger of being unable to get over someone you loved who left you (or at least I think that's what it's about after having listened to it enough...).

There's probably more I'm not thinking of at the moment, but that's a good start. :P

Its a pretty powerful song, one of my favorites by them.

Guren by the GazettE will have to do it for me. I mean the chorus in English is pretty much "I don't want you to fade, let me hear even a sigh, a small heartbeat that isn't there, I want you come back"

The song Hurt makes me think of a few people I have known, and I tend to enjoy hearing the Nine Inch Nails version. Also, my "what-if" girl and I used to dance to Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah, so still can't listen to that song.

A lot of Alice in Chains songs make me feel that way. Although I think it's just Layne's voice, just has that effect on me no matter what he says.

Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers Ace6301

I would've also said this one. Its kind of hard to interpret at first, but its about doing Heroine.

I think that just about any Alice in Chains song (after Facelift) is absolutely filled with meaning. You can really see how much drugs have tortured Layne, it's crazy how haunting the lyrics are.

Each song is meaningful to someone one way or another. Saying one is more meaningful to you is pretty asinine.

I've always preferred that version over Johnny Cash's.

I have to say

Dirt by Alice In Chains

Nutshell by Alice In Chains

But if you take into consideration what JC faced as a person (all the drugs and alcohol, hurting his friends and family), it gives it more meaning. But that's pretty much the only NIN song I've listened to, so I don't really know Trent's story behind it.

It was about his heroin addiction.
