THE GREATEST SONG EVER WRITTEN!

There are times when from the very first note of a song you know that you are hearing something very special. The first time I heard Cannonball by Damien Rice I was literally stopped in my tracks. From the first note I could not move I was captured and transported to the world of the song. I felt the emotion and the longing the songs describes. It has been a few years since I first heard the song and even today the song is still as powerful to me as it was the first time I heard it. below you will find a video of the song and the lyrics. I hope the song affects you like it still does me.





cannonball

there's still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
there's still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
it's still a little hard to say what's going on
there's still a little bit of your ghost your witness
there's still a little piece of your face i haven't kissed
you step a little closer to me
still i can't see what's going on
stones taught me to fly
love taught me to lie
life taught me to die
so it's not hard to fall
when you float like a cannonball
there's still a little bit of your song in my ear
there's still a little bit of your words i long to hear
you step a little closer each day
so close that i can't see what's going on
stones taught me to fly
love taught me to lie
life taught me to die
so it's not hard to fall
when you float like a cannon
stones taught me to fly
love taught me to cry
so come on courage
teach me to be shy
'cause it's not hard to fall
and i don't want to scare her
it's not hard to fall
and i don't wanna lose
it's not hard to grow
when you know that you just don't know
