}}'''"Hurt"''' is the final track on ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' The idea of the narrator being or feeling "a million miles away," as sung at the end of this song, would be mentioned again in both "[[All The Love In The World]]" and "[[1,000,000]]." Whether the three songs are all specifically related beyond [[Recurring_lyrics#A_Million_Miles_Away|repetition of the phrase]] is publicly unverified.

The song was sampled by rap collective Westside Connection in 1997 on its track "The Gangsta, The Killa and The Dope Dealer".

Hurt has been covered by a variety of artists, such as Matthew Good, Breaking Benjamin, Underoath, Aaron Lewis, and Sevendust. The song gained a new wave of popularity in 2002 when it was famously covered by [[wp:Johnny Cash|Johnny Cash]], at the recommendation of producer [[wp:Rick Rubin|Rick Rubin]]. This caused a lot of confusion for the audiences of Cash, who generally weren't familiar with the work of [[Nine Inch Nails]], often resulting in miscrediting the song to Cash. In Cash's version, the line "crown of shit" is changed to "crown of thorns," but is otherwise unchanged.

A version by [[Peter Murphy]] with [[Trent Reznor]] on piano was released exclusively through iTunes in 2009, while Murphy was releasing a string of covers. It was recorded in the studio, presumably during the same time period as the [[With Teeth: Summer Tour 2006 Radio Collaboration]].
