I thought Rihanna's sounded more full of emotion. But this is calmer. RiRi's sounds like a call to action, this sounds like a whisper in the ear, reminding so we won't forget
Well both Rihanna and X Ambassador do sound full of emotion, and I love them both. I prefer X Ambassador because I love the guitar playing (I fell in love with the beginning), plus playing a guitar feels more natural.
Actually no...Rihanna's video is suitable for her version...this version is plain regular...it lacks soul...it seems just like any other vulgar song...which is sad given the lyrics...sorry...
Ok do ive just discovered this group Ambassadors today?! Like where y'all been my whole life ? Sayin for me in songwhat my life only breathes. The guitarists talent is just turning me out like a shameless fan and cliche groupie.. I'm so into this sound I'm inspired.. Thank You Ambassadors💋💌💙
I also like this more than the original! Can't believe it's been over a year since "Renegades" first came out and secured my interest in this talented band!
This tune just popped into head and i had to do all sorts of mental gymnastics to remember the name of the track and the band. 20 mins of anguish but finally well worth it.
I know you might be surprised to get a text from me, it's unusual and I want to use this opportunity to say a very big thank you for unconditional love and support all this time's ♥️ (victory all the way ) 🙏😇 Where are you listening from?

In case anyone is confused, this song was a collab with Rihanna, the original was written by Sam in X Ambassadars, and Rhianna sang it. However, they decided to sing it soon afterwards. :P
This is actually not a cover haha. X ambassador wrote this song for Rihanna. So after rihanna American album was out, X ambassadors deciced to remake their song but with their color !
it honestly is just a good song. i like both versions. i can appreciate the nuances in each of their voices that make it special. He definitely made it his own and so did she. Good Job
Throwme Away Wow, great analysis! Not at all what I meant. Sam (the lead singer of X Ambassadors) wrote the song. My question was if they recorded this version as the demo, which Rihanna heard, then she decided to make her own version and released it.
In the description it briefly mentions that Rihanna's recorded version is the original. Sam collaborated and was a co-writer for her song. They recorded this one afterwards. It's much better than Rihanna's in my opinion, though.
Such a great song, and such a great video! I really want to preform a Dance cover to this song, it would be amazing! Definetly going to hit the studio and improve to this later
Never knew this was a Rihanna song til right before the superbowl, lol. I think the song lends itself to the acoustic guitar better but the lyrics fit Rihanna life better 💕

I thought Rihanna's sounded more full of emotion. But this is calmer. RiRi's sounds like a call to action, this sounds like a whisper in the ear, reminding so we won't forget
VulpesUrsae yes i think her video and emotion challenges people more
Agreed. Both powerful in their own rights. Love this description of the 2 versions 👌
Well both Rihanna and X Ambassador do sound full of emotion, and I love them both. I prefer X Ambassador because I love the guitar playing (I fell in love with the beginning), plus playing a guitar feels more natural.
Fun fact, xambassadors wrote the lyrics
Exactly
The second I heard unsteady I was hooked!! Absolutely love this song❤️
This song is a crescendo of feelings. One of my favourite bands
band*
you are right have to hear one of there songs everyday
I personally like both versions. Neither sounds alike but both sound amazing
didn't know about this version until I read the comments on Rihanna's video. awesome song.
They are so underrated ! I love them so much!
agree
Sam the lead singer actually took part in writing the song for Rihanna. and you can hear the backup vocals in the original too.
He didn't "take part" it is his song. He wrote it, and Rhi sang it.
Both versions of this song are amazing but I like the X Ambassador's beat and Rihanna's video. They would be perfect together
word.
Actually no...Rihanna's video is suitable for her version...this version is plain regular...it lacks soul...it seems just like any other vulgar song...which is sad given the lyrics...sorry...
I bet that can be arranged
O⁰op
SAME.
I AM 54 YRS OLD. AND YOU HAVE TOUCHED MY HEART, I TEXTED THIS SONG TO EVERY ONE I LOVE... THANKS
Love both versions of this song
I found this song on Wednesday and I've already listened it to it a million times! I love Rhianna's version, but this one may be winning!

Manu Yes it does and seeing them live... the emotion he puts into singing live... You will not be disappointed
This describes their life and struggle for fame and recognition. Don't you feel it too? I love it
God bless America.

God bless Europe, the ones who civilized the USA..without Europe there would've never been such a thing as the "USA"
+Koen Berkvens Well played 😂

There was civilization in America long before your grubby ancestors pissed off the puritans, friend.
Saw these guys live last night. Got to meet them and all. They're pretty awesome

Yeah, they played that song in Virginia and my left ear was too vibrating here in Spain
Oh yea Happy St Patrick Day 🍀🗽
I've been listening to this on repeat ❤💕
This tune just popped into head and i had to do all sorts of mental gymnastics to remember the name of the track and the band. 20 mins of anguish but finally well worth it.

Sam, oh you are such an amazing singer, since hearing this, can't get enough, love you guys😍😍

I was here 23/3/16. Love this
This song is so awesome!
Inlove with this version. Gives the song a more justified beat and tune.
this type of music gives me chills
No entiendo ingles, pero tu música tiene ese "no se que" que gusta escuchar, saludos desde México DF, un abrazo buena musica
In case anyone is confused, this song was a collab with Rihanna, the original was written by Sam in X Ambassadars, and Rhianna sang it. However, they decided to sing it soon afterwards. :P
Exatly, so in the end none of them are covers.
Just waiting for their second album... :D
third* love songs drug songs was their first album not vhs I think
Much 2fab It was an EP so as The Reason, Their first official was VHS :P
+William Donovan ohh i just saw the description.
+Much 2fab no prob :)
+Much 2fab Their EPs were soooooooo good too
This definitely the best cover ever... And it was uploaded on my birthday :)
Happy Birthday !!
+James Black heh uploaded on my birthday too XD
This is actually not a cover haha. X ambassador wrote this song for Rihanna. So after rihanna American album was out, X ambassadors deciced to remake their song but with their color !
Well not the whole band but actually Sam Harris. So this is not a cover, Sam has right on this song.
+vincent mercier Ohh I see. That's even better. Rihanna doesn't do it as well as them
it honestly is just a good song. i like both versions. i can appreciate the nuances in each of their voices that make it special. He definitely made it his own and so did she. Good Job
I love this band !!!

From Belgium, thank you for this amazing song
From France too 😊❤
Belgium as well.
I wonder if this was the original version before it was sold to Rihanna.
It was written by Sam so yeah
Well, Rihanna's was released in April 2015, and X Ambassador's version in March 2016. What makes you think Rihanna's version wasn't the original?
Throwme Away Wow, great analysis!
Not at all what I meant.
Sam (the lead singer of X Ambassadors) wrote the song. My question was if they recorded this version as the demo, which Rihanna heard, then she decided to make her own version and released it.
In the description it briefly mentions that Rihanna's recorded version is the original. Sam collaborated and was a co-writer for her song. They recorded this one afterwards. It's much better than Rihanna's in my opinion, though.
Hi
President Elect Joe Biden - I'm so feeling the "Close your eyes and breathe" line. damn. Goosebumps.
