      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.

      @HoboDave12 Год назад +1

      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 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

    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
    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
    You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
    First you get close, then you get worried
    You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
    First you get close, then you get worried
    You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
