I don’t know how to speak music, but I’ll try. I think the dissonant notes together with i believe micro tonal pitch bending (maybe I don’t know i have bad pitch) in the original better illustrate the discomfort of Trent very poetically.
Also Cash sensoring the original lyrics is okay, but it doesn’t deliver has hard.
Don’t get me wrong, both versions are beautiful, and this is just nit picking
There’s a lot of those. Patti Smith’s “Because the Night” is better than Bruce Springsteen’s performance of the same. Leonard Cohen has a voice that’s something of an acquired taste, so most people prefer Jeff Buckley’s version of “Hallelujah”.
Patti Smith also had an excellent version of “Teen Spirit”, but it’s more of a different take than better, I’d say.
In fairness I do believe Johnny somehow managed to do it better, but credit where credit is due.
I still prefer Kermit’s version.
Darth Kermit?
Said this before on this platform, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. It’s your opinion that you think Johnny’s version is better.
I like both versions of the song. They have a different delivery.
I too like both versions, and actually writing such a powerful song is something Trent deserves huge credit for. Talent all round.

I think that Cash’s slow delivery, acoustic guitar, and deep, raspy voice, better delivers the despair and loneliness of the song.
