Ha, that's brave starting this way with vocals all in. I am totally impressed. Performing a song so great as they just did live is incredible. I cannot find words for these musicians. Awesome work. This is real and pure art. Thank you!
I listened to this track almost 20 times, but it never made me cry, until I watched this live version. Wow, this song is powerful! I want to see you live!
I’ve listened to this exact recording ~100 times. Love it, solid performance. Way to bring it gents. Performing at some corporate event at the steps/stadium setup no less but making the music feel real and not some tired act. Agreed backup vocals really shined but whole band showed integrity. Love these guys. Love this song. Love this performance.
just rewatching this video for the xxxth time and maybe but only now that I was realizing just that :D. Was almost cringing about how calm, not to say unaffected the audience appears to be.
@@elozern9057 Painful audience. I once saw the Buena Vista Social Club live and the audience just sat there for that musical bonanza. Love the backup singer here- great song
I get your point. I view them as two separate things I can love for different reasons. Like you, I love the rhythm and punch from the original. But then I love the stripped down version that lets the vocals and lyrics shine.
My take on that lyric (have no clue if this is accurate) - the combustible and tumultuous relationship was "the cannonball," crashing to the Earth as it ended. But the ending for her was not painful and was "light as a feather" since she already emotionally moved on to another lover - referencing back to the cheating and lying in the opening line.
The song is wistful and melodic, and I saw them all bumping their foot, not lifeless, definitely enjoying the tune. This was the perfect reaction for this crowd and the tone of the music being played.
Really cool version of a really cool song. They must have told everyone in the audience to be quiet because it would be hard sitting there not singing along at the top of your voice.
+James Collins He isn't black or PC enough...White people are taking over everything. The lead singer should be a Muslim Jew...Let's hope he repents his white skins

When I was listening for the first time to "Can't Help Me Now" by Rob Thomas, I had the feeling like I had heard the song before. It did not take me long to figure out WHY the song sounded so familiar. I had no idea that "Can't Help Me Now" by Rob Thomas was on his newest Album "Chipped Tooth Smile" which was released in August 2029. For all I new the song could have been from early 2000's. I realised The song I was thinking of was "First", by Cold War Kids. I was real quick to jump on Cold War Kids for ripping off Rob Thomas. Even though I heard the song "First" a few years ago) a
Come to find out Cold War Kids released "First" back in 2014. It was 5 years later that Rob Thomas released his Album "Chipped tooth Smile" in 2019. That means that Rob Thomas must had got his "INSPIRATION" for "Can't Help Me Now" from Cold War Kids song titled "first"🤫 Let me know what you when you give Rob's version of "first" a listen
What did this audience get as a snack? Xanax or Ativan? I wouldn't be able to sit so still and not even whipping my foot to the rhythm when this song was played.
second vocalist is superb
Seen them live many a time, they work well together for sure.
agreed.... so is the first.
That was my take away too
@@Killovision1 boom boom
I love that performances like this exist. So beautiful.
Lyrics drive me right to tears of elation and sorrow. Bravo!
Sounds really nice. The 2nd vocals really add to the song. You can't really hear them on the album version.
@@Kevin-sm8pn Dawg, what? 😂
I can, had to see if it came from the same person. Now I know.
Full body chills years later
I don’t know how I just heard this song a few weeks ago but this live version is incredible. Most modern artists do not sound good live.
i thought this live version was shyt but to each their own :) definitely prefer the studio version
The backup singer is Matthew Schwartz and he was the lead singer of “Chasing Kings”. They have several videos on RUclips. Sounds pretty good!
glad i'm not the only one blown away by this fact, saw Chasing Kings them around LA years ago, bought their album

That’s the best performance I’ve ever seen of that song!!!! ❤😮
I really like the keyboard player's voice.
Don't see a day where I'd stop loving this.
This audience is so docile, I cannot help but move when I hear this song.
just rewatching this video for the xxxth time and maybe but only now that I was realizing just that :D. Was almost cringing about how calm, not to say unaffected the audience appears to be.

Second vocals makes it a level up
Man I know everyone in this comment section is praising the support vocalist, but my God is he good or what?!
YES 👍🏼
"Sometimes less is more". Just look at what three simple chords did.
agreed, they wrote a masterpiece.
I smiled through this entire video.
great camera work too, capturing the reactions of those watching & listening
like to come back here every once in a while this performance is so damn good man
great song. love it can't get it out of my head.
wow! that was a powerful performance of an already awesome song, BIG like!
This is beautiful.
This is so great. My ears appreciate.
I personally think that this song is missing the best part in this performance: THE DRUMS!
I like this song mainly for the drum play
I get your point. I view them as two separate things I can love for different reasons. Like you, I love the rhythm and punch from the original. But then I love the stripped down version that lets the vocals and lyrics shine.
love this song! Acoustic version so intimate .
Perfect arrangement and execution.
this is my favorite type of performance. you can hear the vocals and the acoustics aren't overwhelming
One of the best live bands I've ever seen!
absolutely l❤ve this song!
Just heard this on Sirius.....great song....great words....great voices.
Love It , What a Great Performance
Hey spectators wake up! Great performance.
So talented
So much emotion.
Love this band & how good is the singing: serious talent!
In love with this version man... amazing
this is the best version.
That's way better than the official video.
This song is so genius. Well done. 👍🎶
Such a beautiful song.
Just.... wow....
So simple, so beautiful.
Love this version
Great song well done.
back up dude unreal!!
Best version by far
Great set.
One of the rare bands that sounds better live than recorded.
amazing video here
Well done men.
well done, men.
unless you're cooking men, then yes, I also enjoy well done men.
Second vocalist is ridiculously awesome!!
I always liked this song, and finally I found it.
love this song!!
So freaking good
Wow
Keyboard guy makes it better 😊
Awsome
Perfect
Great tune!!
Great song, great lead, great back up vocals!
This is awesome, idk how people can hate it 🤦🏾♂️
I am just in love with this song lol
The lead singer is not AT ALL how I imagined he would look, WOW. (not saying that's a bad thing)
Agreed!
ElsiaStar thought the same thing
ElsiaStar voices can be so misleading lol. I pictured them both very differently!
Kinda looks like they took DNA from Matthew Perry and Chris O'Donnell and made another person.
Michael Downer that’s a good description! Haha
Always LOVE this song! And I like the polite audience here also, that’s more my style for live music, lol...
Love when his buddy comes in with the bass! I've seen videos with the just the other guy and it's just not the same
'Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth, lighter than a feather when you hit the earth'
What does that mean? It's beautiful.
My take on that lyric (have no clue if this is accurate) - the combustible and tumultuous relationship was "the cannonball," crashing to the Earth as it ended. But the ending for her was not painful and was "light as a feather" since she already emotionally moved on to another lover - referencing back to the cheating and lying in the opening line.
I’m going to subscribe to Pandora because of CWK and this video ✌🏼
I Like this. This is nice
Never thought an accoustic version of this would work. but it does
❤️ epic song
Dayum
2nd vocalist sounds exactly like Peter Gabriel.
amazing! 👍
Thanks
awesome!
This is their best vocal performance I've heard for this song yet, although not as good without all the instruments compared to album.
Should do this with an orchestra backing them up, would be epic.
It’s Mal and Wash from Firefly!!
ansiosa já pro lolla 2016 *o*
one of my favorite bands and those people all look lifeless watching them play, like they could not even care
hey, maybe they were all reflecting at the same time
The song is wistful and melodic, and I saw them all bumping their foot, not lifeless, definitely enjoying the tune. This was the perfect reaction for this crowd and the tone of the music being played.
mitchell billion lol
That young lady in the white top and blue jeans sitting across from them... I've seen more livelier personalities in corpses 😁
Le plus grand groupe de tous les temps je vous aimes vous me transporter vous me faites vivre je vous aimes du plus profond de moi
The man playing the piano is my teachers son🤘🤘💦
Love this song❤️❤️❤️
Great song
Nice!
I would be scared to play for that audience they have no reaction :0
Eclipse dude its a live recording with ppl 10 feet from the mics, they told them to be quiet. But ya it does look weird, prob betger without them
Really cool version of a really cool song. They must have told everyone in the audience to be quiet because it would be hard sitting there not singing along at the top of your voice.
these guys are fantastic.............remind me of The Waterboys somewhat..........and that's more than OK : )
Easiest Bass Gig in the world!
My older sister just passed at 29 yrs old due to cancer.
She got to Heaven First before 8 other siblings.
I'm very sorry for your loss
Stay strong brother. They're needed upstairs more than we are
This is fuckin' great!
What's with all the dislikes?
+James Collins He isn't black or PC enough...White people are taking over everything. The lead singer should be a Muslim Jew...Let's hope he repents his white skins
+Ricky Rudy whats your problem dude
+John Hawley Hahaha
finger slipped
people who dislike this are not very good listeners
Is it me or is that the same elevator hallway as the one from Pearson Spector in Suits? In this video it says Pandora
This is just tremendous ... TVOD ...
Had me at 'Hello'.
Wow.
Cheated and lied, broken so bad
You made a vow, never get mad
You play 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 re-write
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 going silent, the silent treatment
It's not inviting now
Don't deny what you meant
You get excited, you get excited
You got a feeling, or 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

Lead singer reminds me of Stipe Miocic
Kiss from Normandie
Venez à la maison quand vous voulez
Ended to soon...need a huge orchestra at the end to slam it big. Drop it and pound those words again.
What did this audience get as a snack? Xanax or Ativan? I wouldn't be able to sit so still and not even whipping my foot to the rhythm when this song was played.
