Flying like a cannonball, floating like a feather. Then a shift to why am I the lucky one? Who ever said he’s lucky? Didn’t he just get dumped after passing out drunk in someone’s front lawn? What’s he waiting around forever for? Isn’t he or you getting excited? There’s so much about the lyrics which are confusing.
james burkett me too pple soo dumb listening to nicki minaj and rihanal and justin beaver while real legends r blatantly ignored smh he shud b most famous star of our era
It's like someone told him he would never get to play this song again right before they called "Action" and started filming. The urgency he's putting on it... Wow!
Priest: “Before you two are joined in union, do you vow that you’ll never get mad, even if you’re cheated and lied, broken so bad?” CWK: “Huh? What kind of weird question is that?” Priest: “You should know, it’s your lyrics.”
Cheated and lied, broken so bad You made a vow, never get mad You played the game, though it’s unfair They’re all the same, who can compare?

It’s weird how someone voice can strike up emotions in someone, not even considering the words just the sound has a power to move someone. This is how they built the pyramids…just a dude and a guitar

You can really feel the emotion in his voice, absolutely beautiful!
Extremely difficult song to sing solo. Such a beautiful job by Nathan.
He's word stress and dynamic contrast is so good. It makes listening to the choras feel satisfying instead of repetitive.

Love this! Ripped me heart out, knowing the context & meaning, combined with the semi forced reflection that watching produces
wow
Kill it!!! Just amazing! Bravo!
❤️🔥
Just saw them tonight. They opened for Tears for Fears
Wait what happened to them!? I forgot this song existed and I loved it so much
💙
♡
Great song, but when does he breathe? It's 3:20 of almost straight singing.
This is not a real hard song as far as breathing goes. Plenty of spots in there.
Cheated and lied, broken so bad
You made a vow, never get mad
You played the game, though it’s unfair
They’re all the same, who can compare?
First you lose trust, then you get worried
Night after night, bar after club
Dropping like flies, who woke you up?
On the front lawn, sprinklers turn on
It’s not your house, where’d you go wrong?
First you get hurt, then you feel sorry
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather when you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one
I do not deserve to wait around forever when you were there first
First you get hurt, then you feel sorry
There comes a time in a short life
Turn it around, get a rewrite
Call it a dark night of the soul
Ticking of clocks, gravity’s pull
First you get close, then you get worried
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather when you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one, I do not deserve
To wait around forever when you were there first
First you get hurt, then you feel sorry
You’re growing silent, the silent treatment
It’s not inviting now, but don’t deny what you meant
You get excited, you get excited
You got a feeling, oh, at least you can pretend
You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
You get excited, you get excited
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather when you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one?
I do not deserve to wait around forever when you were there first
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one?
I do not deserve to wait around forever when you were there first
First you get close, then you get worried
First you get close, then you get worried
First you get close, then you get worried
First you get close, then you get worried
You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now, the candle from bo
Harvey brought me here damn you suits
You have to live it to write it
fuck my life this is so awesome!!!! one day this will be me :)
Is this song about addiction?
Who hurt this man
I'm pretty sure some bitch hurt him. But, I could be wrong...... Naw, it was some bitch.
Zack Roy y
NCIS?
😯
He sounds a lot like Nate Ruess from Fun in this version. Good shit though!
It's not the same without the piano guy singing
Yamaha
Then you get worriedehhhhhhhh. That's what I heard
Cold War Kid
Full band please
Will Forte has really bulked up
That is...not what I thought he'd look like.
sounds great even without the over dub and the rest of the studio magic.
It’s weird how someone voice can strike up emotions in someone, not even considering the words just the sound has a power to move someone.
This is how they built the pyramids…just a dude and a guitar
Quantico S01E01
He looks a little like Chris O' Donnell.
yes lol
+Mavis Abe mixed with Woody Harrelson
🎉😂😅😊 bradley Weickardt
If I’m being honest, I don’t like the acoustic version. But the song is amazing the high notes are hurting my ears. I sound like Simon cowell sorry
who needs the band J/S
women have destroyed men. men can not repair this. if women do not repair men, men will leave for a vacation away from women.
I don't know what u just said, but it hit a deep chord in me
agreed
Truer words have never been spoken.
Lolllllllllllllll
007wetz well said.
