Damien Rice - Cannonball - Official Video

[nixieboi123]

LOVE THIS SONG! easy to play on guitar aswell :)

[Tadejuus]

so many memories!! :(

[besionishe]

I must admit that this version's imperfections make it great, while LM's version being all polished and glossy sort of sounds generic. However, they did a really nice cover.

[XileGaming1]

not a big fan of rape, but the replay button certainly got some :)

[MrB0mbdiggity]

thumbs up if little mix reminded of how good this song is, so you just had to come and listen to it .

[TheMiserableBitch]

Little Mix will never measure up to this. Nice voices, but no originality.

[3garf]

@camxx100 cause ur an absolute cunt

[cupramac]

@camxx100 die.

[Nubianbabe15]

I may be selfish but i dont want cannonball to be commercial.

[Hollistar91]

i dont understand the video. And i dont understand what he means by "float like a cannonball". But i like the song :)

[matrags]

@Hollistar91 "It's not hard to fall when you float like a cannonball." Makes sense to me.

[Hollistar91]

@matrags explain to me please...

[matrags]

@Hollistar91 Cannonballs are very heavy so they don't float! Metaphoric obviously.

[Hollistar91]

@matrags Oh. So basically he finds it easy to fall in love...Cos he floats around like a cannonball?

[matrags]

@Hollistar91 That's it...At least that's how I take it.

[JackHelmOfficial]

As soon as I heard this song i just had to go get my guitar and learn it, love it :)

[Mrlaboeuf89]

IRISHPRIDE!!!!!!!!!

[JackHelmOfficial]

Ahhhhh i put on Rainy Mood on google whilst listening to this, even better, love it :) 9 Crimes is also a favourite of mine

[syanngilroy]

pause and press 7 hahaha its like he's laughing

[lalalizmond]

What do they say at the end

' hey guess what.'

'what'

'Hjxcajrubd just died'

what's the hjxcajrubd bit?

[syanngilroy]

@lalalizmond  hes saying - "hey guess what"

"what"

"it just died."

"the battery?"

"dead"

[xRemisHx]

I SWEAR ON MY LIFE IT IS THE BEGINNING OF A RED ROCKET AT 1:16!!

[thatnickwestwell]

He sounds like James Michael so much...

[W0ndersea]

WTF is the pic at 0.42????????

[ChandraSantos]

Eu amo essa música. Mesmo se ficar muito tempo sem ouvir, sinto a mesma emoção quando escuto novamente. É linda demais. 

[gipsy305]

this song was included in spring waltz k-drama ost :p

[Somepeople001]

john adams version is really good as well its a x factor uk audition!

[AbbieLovesMusic97]

What a beautiful song.

[harrypotterlova101]

This version and Marcus Collins' versions are a million times better than those Little Mix

[guitarrosa123]

i love dis song |||||||||||||||||||||!

[xXsKiEsXx]

thumbs up if you skipped back just to check if it was poo..

[adam12brody]

what happens at the end?? what died?

[Rezkoh]

@adam12brody

the battery of something :P

[syanngilroy]

@adam12brody the guy at the end, his video camara died haha :) Just as they finished the video xD

[LaurenSaraAmy]

BEST.SONG.EVER.

[bishopgatefc]

Best song ever made,love it

[1kkraj]

Why is there shit on this vid so crap

[syanngilroy]

@1kkraj because, damien is the singer version of chuck norris. if he wants crap in his video, then crap he shall have

[Bollocks681]

@KHKOKelly it's called 'Piece of My Heart' and it's by Erma Franklin, Aretha's younger sister and it came out in 1967.

[KHKOKelly]

there is an R&B song that shares a bit of the music that this song includes... i want to say it says something like "take a little piece of my heart, now baby..." or something like that... can someone relate?

[besionishe]

@KHKOKelly Thank you for the question, I wanted to know the singer and the song for soo long! It seems to be really popular with talent shows :))

[OzgurumBen1]

The only good thing to come out of the xfactor is that girl Leona Lewis. Alexandra Burke isnt that bad either. JLS have the same power as Girls Aloud but sing better, can sing in harmony. Then there was that classical group Il divo or something they were ok too. Out of like what 8 series?

[OzgurumBen1]

@OzgurumBen1 None of them have originality though that has to be said. Leona Lewis - that whole Celine/Mariah/Whitney. Alexandra Burke - Beyonce. JLS - like all those boybands but a little more street and can sing better. Cher Lloyd? A cross between cheap nicki minaj and cheryl cole. All the rest MAtt Cardle, leon jackson that young chap with the nice smile joe something. All utterly forgettable.

[Bollocks681]

@jasiekel86 little mix are a pile of turgid talentless bullshit!!!,They won't last very long on the music scene, That I can guarantee you!!

[kobweb999]

@Bollocks681 they ruined a great song. Why cant they just write their own for xfactor. So many good songs have been fucked over.

[OzgurumBen1]

@Bollocks681 its true i agree. they dont bring anything new to the music industry. I mean im not even trying to be bitchy and Im not jealous. They aren't anything that hasn't been done before.

[bilalnumber7]

@Bollocks681 + they're ugly

[RabbitHeartedGirl94]

..Is that a poop? o.O

[SuperGreenTortoise]

Awful vid! Cheap.

[jasiekel86]

The comments on here used to be about how good the song was, now it's all about Little Mix! What annoys me is their fans act like their version is the original!

[perfectlyimperfecty]

This song reminds me of my ex, but I also know that I deserve better.. and this song is beautiful as it is, didn't need to be covered by little mix.. (even though I like them)

[MrEran257]

This girl is as amzing as Damien

watch?v=xXRh5ne7xws

[Crossfire92x]

I personally like both versions, but prefer Damien's. He brings out the meaning in the song. Little Mix just sound pretty singing it.

[deepshizzle1]

FUCK LITTLE MIX!!!!!!!!

[omargg1991]

0:48 WHAT THE CRAP IS THAT!?

[mchudi91]

@omargg1991 lol i was thinking the same thing....looks like poo. i hoping its not but it really does seem so. gross :(

[DontSlapThatFish]

yes damien rices version is better, and little mix's version is quite shit, but no reason to start going FUCK LITTLE MIX? they did win the xfactor so the term 'There Shit' doesnt really work?

[misamasin]

@DontSlapThatFish haha x nice

[MrFreerJames]

@DontSlapThatFish Well... Could be their opinion :) just saying...

[marxist854]

@DontSlapThatFish

The shiniest looking shit among other lesser shit is still shit by defination

[YourBreakfast]

This guy can barely fucking sing. He uses his head voice and loses all his strength when he reaches the high notes. I prefer Little Mix's version. People have to stop getting so upset over a song. There's no need to call them 'sluts' or get crazy. I pretty much hate covers of older songs (Derulo's with 'Africa', Leona Lewis with 'Light up' etc.) but I thought Little Mix had much more passion and feeling in this song.

[MrFreerJames]

@YourBreakfast Jealousy Got Anything To Do With This?

[officialDJSQWEZ]

@YourBreakfast LOL evidently you know a LOT about music

[BoyWithBlackWings07]

@YourBreakfast "This guy" aka Damien Rice, writes and sings from the heart. Little Mix are a bunch of dressed up, manufactured wannabes getting paid to look pretty and make Simon Cowell more unneeded money.

There simply is no comparison.

[andrewcon863]

@YourBreakfast You obviously haven't a clue!He wrote the song so he sings it with meaning!And your saying he can't sing which is bullshit he doesn't glammerise it with ooos and aaas but when he goes high its lethal your talking a lot of shite there,Do your homework for fucksake the song leona lewis covered was called 'Run' Not (light up) if you write a song thats 80% of the work done thats the hard part and if you understood the song you would also understand that damien sings it with purpose!

[samv186]

I want to thank little mix, they made a decent song famous again, so thank you sluts.

[Maseko66]

It Changes your ever emotion! Thanks !!!

[educateorskate]

touches me everytime

[DontSlapThatFish]

trying to follow the story art? :L

[JasonMeagher94]

please visit my channel for an easy way to play this on guitar:)

[CiaraLovesDamon]

Little mix fucked this up -_- love the original <3

[syanngilroy]

I know you guys probably won't care, but this has been my favorite song for years, I listen to it whenever I need to calm down, think, do work, relax, contemplate, its nice on a long drive in the rain to yino, or a walk through the park, whenever im upset or angry THIS is the song that lets me let go, and reminds me that I am strong and I can get through whatever challenge comes my way because its not hard to fall, when you float like a cannonball.

[futchofdeth666]

@syanngilroy I'm glad you were able to find that bit of medicine for your soul.... Kudo's to you for having the inner strength to express that!!  :)

[syanngilroy]

@futchofdeth666 thank you muchos, its damien rice how could you not love it yino

[JonesCharlesbond]

@syanngilroy your are right i don't.. joke :)

[Anto12011985]

way better than little mix.

[AppleCapriSun]

00:48 is that poop? Grose !!!

[Bollocks681]

@WiLLiamxRFC whoever told Little Mix to cover the song in the first place, that would be Tulisa"Thick As Shit" Contostavlos, hope i've cleared everything up for you.

[Bollocks681]

@WiLLiamxRFC finally someone who agrees with me 100%. Excellent comment.

[downtoearth123123]

is it me or is most of it out of tune....

[diagonnALLY]

@downtoearth123123 hahhaha i thought that too, but i think its the style?

[Crossfire92x]

@downtoearth123123 Its just you. He's on key the whole time. His voice just isn't as controlled...

[downtoearth123123]

00.48 is that poo.........eewwww

[WiLLiaMxRFC]

boycott little mix, heavy killing this great masterpiece and they should be hung,dran,and quatered every one off them and whoever told them to sing it in first place... ggrrrrrrrrr

[MattPriceMusic]

instead of complaining about stupid xfactor, listen to the song enjoy it, and you should already know just by his name this is gunna be great. this is talent.

[pebi439]

3:37 O_O

[kyranjohnson111]

please take a listen to my cover of this song on my page :)

[zeppelinzangel]

What the fuck is "d lil mix"?

[Jestela7]

all im gonna say is...back in '09 people didnt even no d lil mix members existed-.- smh

people nowadays..and ya i mean "BOOMitsMILLIE"

[GayMay75]

0:48 is that a shit in the toilet?! :L

[dominikaslaba7]

I might listen to this song again and again whole night and a day...He is amazing!!!

[AMSL1000]

please watch my cover of this! it would be much appreciated:)

[TheStedychillin]

John Adams brought meh here

[AlexisAshi72]

Damien Rice Ish The Real Talent I Cry Everytime I Hear This Song..:)

[BOOMitsMILLIE]

I can't find 'Gwemgwems' comments but I heard her of having a go at me, all I was saying was that most people wouldn't be here if it weren't for Little Mix and its giving credit to this song, a nd the only people who would be here would be the ones with sentimental reasons or they've been listening alot to this song before Little Mix anyway..

[R0BL0W]

@Joanne22C I died a little when I read that

[Joanne22C]

@R0BL0W I just don't understand how some people think that. X factor has butchered two of my favourite songs now. First Biffy Clyro and now Damien Rice. :/

[edrianquintos]

@Joanne22C omg!! that only shows thier stupidity... and it amke s me sad!!

[aaindahouse]

@Joanne22C

stupid 10 year old slags ey!!?

[syanngilroy]

@Joanne22C People actually think that O.O? ... I'll need their addresses and a rifle gun.

[Liverpool094]

@Joanne22C nobody thinks that! 

[Joanne22C]

@Liverpool094 Afraid so :/

[MrAndywear]

@Joanne22C NO WAAAAAY!!!

[robert99902]

@Joanne22C same dude

[919rickw]

@Joanne22C : it bothers me A LOT too , how come they thought that right around ?

[ManOrMushroom]

i'm sorry wait why is there a goldfish...the snack that smiles back...

[syanngilroy]

still a little bit of your face, I haven't kissed <3

[kj91gorre]

I want him to be famous but Underground.. coz the problem of being famous to the world is that you are force to sing like "move like jagger "...

[EilidhThom]

Really dont get the video hehee

[littlerabbit57]

@EilidhThom Look closely lol I think its when a situation so severe can change visones of life eg never be and see the same again.

[BOXINGFANFAN]

@EilidhThom Same here...but i do get the song

[fistft99]

@EilidhThom Really nothing to get bud.. it's just a load of pseudo modernist trash assemled cheaply on a home computer to accompany a brillantly written song sung by someone who moans all the way through it and sings it badly. The new version actually is a massive improvement vocally.

[wood026]

@VideoPropertiesNI

TROOOOOOOOOOOOOLL IN THE DUNGEON! Troll in the dungeon! ...thought you oughta' know.

[JonsMaName]

Still a little bit of your taste, in my mouth

Still a little bit in my teeth, I cant pick out

Still a little bit of your face, in tiny jars

You'll never know why, you needed to die

But I, quiet fancied a pie

Which isn't strange at all

When your boyfriends a cannibal..

[Disconn3ction]

@JonsMaName love the parody. Is it your own or done by someone?

[kyranjohnson111]

damien rice- cannonbal, take a listen and tell me what you think please at KyranJohnsonMusic, on facebook :) x

[Barlz99]

Everyone should know that this is the original :L

[VideoPropertiesNI]

I can't believe there is a cover of Little Mix's song already :P

[cherryboom99]

@VideoPropertiesNI little mixs song is the cover. notice the date on damien rices version is 2 jan. 2009

[AtotheLay]

this version is way better then little mix

[xxSoph13]

@AtotheLay That would be because this is the original. Its always gonna be better than a crappy cover from x factor finalists. Ugh so annoying that they ruined a great song and sucked all the emotion out of it

[freefallinification]

this video? dub tee eff...incredible song. just this video. _.

[Rabiesdogs]

can someone explain the meaning of this song?? thanks

[ria416]

@Rabiesdogs, I think it's about a guy being/having been in a relationship with a girl he loved and was obsessed with, but had doubts about the relationship because he was over-analysing things too much:

'Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth,

still a little bit of you laced with my doubt'.

And he's too afraid to confront her of these doubts in case she leaves him for doubting her love in the first place:

'And I don't wanna scare her,

it's not hard to fall, and i don't want to lose'.

[cod4JAY]

what a shit video....

[piazzola08]

thanks

[bethrauhl]

Little Mix's version is miles better, what the heck....

[frimuu]

@bethrauhl well... I think little mix wouldn't have such a song to sing if it wasn't for damien rice so I wouldn't been so adamant.

[Alishafatima1]

Little mix made thier video shit

[Alishafatima1]

this version is better than little mix he made a proper video to it

[jmd1888]

this makes me so emotional bcoz i can connect with it..... PERFECT xxx

[bill100000000]

apparently simon cowell wrote this song for Damien Rice but he decided to use it again for his own group, little mix

[TheJamesRMC]

@bill100000000 no damian rice wrote this song...

[Cherryash123]

@bill100000000 you poor, misguided person

[Tiza123m]

Who`s little mix? And why do I care when I have this song...?

[ZoeeeZoe]

@Tiza123m they won the uk's x factor and this was their winners single.. i love this way more though!

[meganrawrx]

Fuck off Little Mix.

[jennelyn241987]

i love this song

[Jodie1995sox]

Such a beautiful voice.

[carlie5434]

@tatra tbh no he doesn't and I bet he's a better singer thank u so. Suggest u shut up cus this was played at my baby cousins funerals!!!!

[tarta2394]

Little Mix's Version Is Much Better, Hes Sounds Like Hes On Drugs...

[JamieMonkk]

YouTube should only allow commenting from people who can prove they have an IQ greater than that of a chimp.

[luke1111ism]

@JamieMonkk

chimps probably have a greater IQ than you and so do most people in the world

[luke1111ism]

@JamieMonkk

commenting isn't about intelligence , it's about peoples verdict of a song

[ONdorch]

great song...but when they made it they should have turned up the vocal volume...as i find it a bastard to hear without getting pissed off :( haha

[elevenminutes27]

this is really ONE of fave songs.

[TheRobgoldie]

Totally awesome. Much better than little mix's version.

[katerinapapasolomou]

Let's make damien rice a famous singer ,, He is so talented ,, Thumps my comment so he will look it !!!!

[VarianceJD]

@katerinapapasolomou ahahaha idiot.

[tracer42]

@katerinapapasolomou he already is famous.....

[saltfleetstevie]

@katerinapapasolomou He already is a famous singer!

[syanngilroy]

@katerinapapasolomou he is famous.

[stutzand21]

@katerinapapasolomou craving attention much?

[BOXINGFANFAN]

@katerinapapasolomou over 6 million views i would say he was famous

[LiverpoolSteee]

@katerinapapasolomou

You're a gobshite, he's famous YEARS now : /

[MrKinderboi]

Great song .. Acoustic is great but pop beat ruins it!

V.Good.. :D

[gemorahfunpage]

he is just so out of tune!

[LiveYourLifeXBeaX]

how many people have come here after littlemix?

[dreambird2005]

i personally much prefer the original but little mix doing a version of this song does not change the beauty or depth of emotion that damien rice brings to this song. little mix are catering to an audience that like their version so whats the fuss??

[padraig23026868]

best ever
