Stick is on the mark, with the wording, and who wrote and released it. Also there's a bit of an interesting story, behind the scenes about the song, and what Trent had to say. Plus what John's one daughter said after he recorded it, and after she heard it the first time. I was and still am a huge Johnny Cash fan.c I grew up listening to the Man in Black from the time I was born in late 1957, which now totals nearly fifty seven years. Of more than five hundred artists, I probably have mote notes about John, that I've collected in over fourty five years of digging through the history of Country and Western music about Johnny Cash than anyone else. Here's a ink to the lyrics themselves, as used by Cash.http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/johnnycash/hurt.htm...Now the lyrics as they had been written in 1994 by Trent Reznor himself, for which he won an award for also. http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/nineinchnails/hurt....

It's not "Swedish friend". it's "sweetest friend". The song is not a Johnny Cash song, it was written by Trent Reznor, of Nine Inch Nails, so the reference has no connection with Cash.
