Hurt - Nine Inch Nails (Bardcore | Medieval Style Cover)

Greetings all! I’m back with another bardcore cover, which in some ways is a cover of a cover. Hurt was written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, and famously covered by Johnny Cash only 7 months before his death. I’m throwing my hat in the ring with a somewhat unusual take on the theme, but had to stop myself from bawling while recording even with the altered lyrics. Some of the words resisted change of any kind. No matter the context, this song gets you right in the human frailty. Listen now on Spotify: You get extra points if you can tell which character the art is based on. The art: A heavily altered Miniature of Conrad III of Germany from Chronica Regia Coloniensis (Cologne Kings’ Chronicle; Cologne; ca. 1240). Brussels, Bibliothèque Royale, Ms. 467, fol. 64v Lyrics: I fell upon my sword To see if I could die I woke upon the morn, And still I was alive The arrow tears
