Sure but hurt isn't angry at all. It's mournful and regretful.
The meaning of the song didn't really change with the artist, just the specifics of the loss and regret

No question the original is better ( subjectively of course) The meaning and culmination of the story the album is hard to top .
Cover version is great because it's Johnny cash and carries a totally different gravitas because of who he is and what is life was.
But if you take away that it's Johnny cash , his version is kind of crap

Fair enough .
The language/tone/ message of the song ( as I understand it ) Lacks anything I would attribute to anger in that sense though. Subjective to a degree I suppose.
