[photo315ce]

One of my favorite songs, and even though this was like 5 years ago you're still amazing.. Keep comparing this to my cover and not your recently added songs because of the quality, haha! Thank you ortopilot for being such a massive inspiration to me!

[sangolt88]

5 years ago... Damn.

[kahleolus]

Great cover! Just did a cover myself, would love to get some feedback!

[chickenballs20]

great version..... have covered this tune myself..... great tune aswell..

[231nDub1tableParad0x]

Orto (Matt ) Think how much has changed this raw beginning. Good that you never gave up. If you were ever discouraged ... you just kept going. You remain

in essence .. the quality of this rendition.... Beautifully done.

You have mastered all of the elements of production and presentation. I watch your stuff all the time. I get so much enjoyment from watching your changes. True musicianship

Great music ...

So, I just want to give you props for all that you have achieved.

great cover, also just listened to another beautiful cover - by Imogen Dow? - worth checking out. such a beautiful song this one!

[babyrose136]

You are an extremely talented musican. It's like God was bored, so he decided to send down the voice of an angel. You play the best songs aswell. Bottom line is,

I think you're wonderful.

[CharHursty]

Woww, blown away :) your voice is actually AMAZING!!!! <3

[scream81080]

this is the soul, I have just commented on your video on stereophonics about giving more soul, I meant this, I totally enjoyed each second, I wish we could have played together I am myself a composer from Canada vancouver. seems like we are listening same stuff.

[Linkolytus]

i think I posted a reaction on this about 1 or even 2 years ago... once again, good job. But you do realise you're playing it 2 steps down? No shame, it's still perfect, but it's a shame your amazing voice cannot live up to it what it is supposed to be like.

-Link.

[goodeone92]

i love you, i love this song, you rock my freakin socks off. :) keep up the good work. Man, i think you may have outdone Damien

[miknosskire]

You are amazing orto !:) Keep playing, someday you'll get noticed, i can promise you that much, and when that happens you'r gonna make a great sucess !:) / Your swedish fan !:)

[mellsbells]

you sound better than the original! You have REAL, great talent. Wish i could sing/play even half as good as you.

[magicnut21]

Look oRto, just put your capo on the 6th fret would you? (oh no it wouldn't suit your vocal. OK... Play for the critics ( oh no... it wouldn't suit you style), ah well, your no Damien Rice BUT Damien Rice is no ORTO PILOT. Mint cover mate. MINT. Cheers.

[ortoPilot]

haha nice one fella

[xxdanniibabexx]

once again wow. i think i'm in love. you are incredible, such a beautiful voice xxx

[ortoPilot]

ya makin me blush woman :P haha thanks for your comment. n keep listenin ;) x

[buttmonsterX2]

The capo is on the wrong fret... it is suppose to be on the sixth fret!

[ortoPilot]

yeah, if i tried it on the 6th fret, i'd only have 1 of those 5 red stars :)

[iamsooooblah]

@ortoPilot haha! how cute

[a7xguitarboy27]

@buttmonsterX2 its a cover... im sure he knows it was written capo'd 6th, but this is probably better for his vocal range... i capo on 5th when i play this.

[MattDeFran]

hmm, i'll dare to say my rendition of this song is better

[FuckinNick7]

dude, you come nowhere near this guy... i dare say you cant control your guitar or voice properly... dont be so full of yourself... you'll dare say nothing

[MattDeFran]

fair enough. You have a right to your opinion......as do I. I would love to hear a cover of cannonball from you!

[smartytje]

crap, your version is nothing compared to his...

[smartytje]

I mean that Matt's cover is nothing compared of Ortopilot's.

[FuckinNick7]

ok... just gimme a while, ill learn it!

[aaronjl07]

youre ok but OrtoPilot is just in a whole separate level WAY above yours your's is like amateur he's sounds like a HE could release a CD tomorrow

[ortoPilot]

hahahah, mate... you got confidence, i'll give you that... despite me knowin my version is better than yours, i wouldnt ever tell you that ;)

[aaronjl07]

I will have to agree with your statement!

you're awesome dude! I wouldnt figure that u even looked at the Youtube postings anymore much less take the time to reply to a very confident and not as talented fellow!

[rawzy]

MattDeFran yours is not even close mate at best its average!!!!!

[jessie4884]

you are amazing, :D

[aaronjl07]

wow son this is the closest voice to damiens ive found so far yet u made it yours its not an imitation like everyone else's great !!!!

[Katiebaby22]

Omg this is INCREDIBLE.

I love it. You have an amazing voice.

Perfect.

Thanks for sharing your talent. =)

[agh92]

86,000 views speaks for itself, good effort man i enjoyed it. thanks.

[milliepotts]

Your voice is beautiful.

[GuessDevelopments]

Amazing!

[LChronic1103]

Mayn.

Any Bad Comments You Get, Ignor Them.

They Just Dont Know Good Music.

Well Done. (:

[bigfatnikk]

i really like it. The guitar playing is fine, and i think your voice really does the song justice. good work.

[Liamfive]

You can't play guitar. No feeling at all. But your voice is okey.

[calli758]

I think you should check out his other covers before you make arse throw away comments like that. Tut tut.

[liameya2006]

liam five, go fuck yourself... you heard this guy play? ha Jelous you are mate, learn to spell... Okay isn't spelt okey

[truffleshuffl]

yeh good and someitmes my capo seems off but i actualy have my guitar tuned down half a step and just couldnt be botherd bringin it back up. so dont go with what fret its on go by ear

[MusicalSeussHead]

ah yur voice is unreal man keep it up yur hav great quality :)

[vondutch24]

how come no one capos the 6th fret like how it was written

[jamekir]

Because people sing in the key that's comfortable for them. That's the beauty of a capo.

[vondutch24]

true, I actually looked at a Damien Rice video and I think he had his capo on 4?

[emoishly1]

Loved It!

Your Voice Is Brilliant, keep it up =]

x

[uiak1]

I actually think it´s better than Damien himself:P

[flato1]

it's really not hard to fall when you float like a cannon ball

[imagine0000]

best cover for cannonball...

[ramirinnn]

BRILLIANT cover man. that was just awesome. actually quite similar to damien's original version.

[Michielas]

Better than original;)

[huyner1991]

[MGPHXAZ]

*wet*

And, I'm a lesbian.

Jesus, can it get any hotter?

THANK YOU FOR A BEAUTIFUL COVER!

[irishnoelgallagher]

[DjHood06]

better than the original, its ashame u didnt write this

[mousetrap08]

good work!

[JackFrawley101]

nice, good to see someone being smart instead of ruining the vocals with the higher notes, tho i must say ive heard youre vocal pitch, i thought you'd be one of the guys who could hit the high ones

[that70sfan11]

i think i'll ask what everyone else wants to know... are you single? haha

[thedoublehope]

this is great

[shisksjis]

that was brilliant man

[Alibrowneyes]

i'm slightly in love with you

[Mitone91]
