The Johnny Cash version is way better I think. It would get my vote for most moving song. It's the video that does it.

I always find that the singer/band having written the song themselves adds a certain level of feeling that just can't be reached by twisting the meaning of someone elses song.
And seeing NiN play Hurt live at the Astoria a couple of years ago was the most moving movement in a gig I've ever seen.

What does it for me, like I said, is the video. Especially the parts relating to his wife, who had just died, and knowing about their relationship.
