Reply to comment by mynewnameonhere in NIN / Johnny Cash - Hurt by confrita
NIN’s songwriter, Trent Reznor prolifically responded to Cash’s “Hurt” cover with: “I wasn’t prepared for what I saw, and it really then, wasn’t my song anymore.” There was no warning that Cash would be covering “Hurt.” Reznor said.

That's not what prolific means

you should contact the author of the article and let them know.

That article doesn’t provide a source. It simply says that he said it without saying when or where he said it or linking to a source. If you even read the actual article about the interview that article links to, he says the opposite. He says when he was initially asked if Cash could cover one of his songs, he was honored. But then when he heard Hurt, because he didn’t know which song he was going to do, it felt invasive.

Try this one on for size. At the end.
Edit: add a link to the FT. Quote from TR at the end.

"At the end of the video, Cash, silhouetted by a harsh yellow light, closes the lid of the piano and rests his ageing hands on top of it. Reznor’s “valentine to the sufferer” at that point became Cash’s swan song. After watching it, Reznor said: “That song isn’t mine any more.”
The song is haunting. The video is intense.
