Me too! I’m a recent Pentaholic, who went down the Pentatonix rabbit hole, only to find Home Free and go down the Home Free rabbit hole. 🤷♀️😂 I was familiar with Cam from “Burning House,” but that was the only song of hers that I knew. Generally speaking, I find the overwhelming majority of country music to be just plain obnoxious and irritating. But Home Free can make me enjoy just about anything. LOL. That being said, I really enjoy Cam singing this (and “Burning House”). She really has a beautiful and soulful voice, with a more subtle and natural sounding twang than 99.9% of her country counterparts.
For those who don't know about Cam. She's a country singer who's best known for her song Burning House. If you wanna get a feel for her music. Listen to Burning House, and this song Mayday is her power balled. Her album is called Untamed and yellow is her feel good and trademark color.
My fav if the jolieen response song DIANE BY CAM. and Dolly Parton actually loves it! Says she won't release her duet song for jolieen because cams song was just so perfect.
I listened to Home Free’s a capella cover of this song, and just had to check out you singing the original. Such a fantastic song, and a talented, beautiful young lady singing it! I wish you all the best going forward!!!
Annnnnnnnnd her songs are impeccable!!! She is singing from a perspective i hope one day to escape from. I adore her and i dont get how she isnt bigger either. Wtf
@@aliciagriffith6392 ,, Well, in order to "go big" certain contractual requirements have to be met. Most people with scruples refuse to compromise their ethics for stardom.
I am just another Home Fry coming to check out the original artist of on of my favorite Home Free covers. So glad I did. Cam is exceptionally talented.
Home Free did a cover of this song and I loved it, so I had to hear HER, doing this song. I didn't know she was in any group before now. I know she sang Burning House at the Grand Ole Opry.
And it is awesome. I love how they stay true to the artists they remake. This was an awesome video by a beautifully talented artist and they have done her no disrespect with their released version
My favorite song 😊 I haven't heard it since I was 9 years old, a little girl eating Jalisco's breakfast watching the music video on TV with my family. I'm 14 now!
Cam became my favorite female artist as soon as I heard her come on the radio a while back. For anyone who hasn't listened to it, her album "Untamed" is great from beginning to end!
No question. This is one of my favorite Home Free songs and I wanted to hear the original. She has a magnificent voice, but the Home Free guys are so damn special!
I never knew this wasn't a Home Free original, so imagine my surprise finding this.. this masterpiece. Great song, but what an amazing video. I just love it, and Cam's voice is gorgeous.
Most of Home Free performances are covers. I think they only have one or two original songs. Thank you 🙏 thank you to Cam for writing this brilliant song.
This goes to show that a person doesn't have to take their clothes off to have a good video. This video has class and I absolutely love the song and her voice!!! Go Cam!
Hi. I agree that Cam's got a beautiful country/pop feel to it. Which is how I came to this video. I am a "Home Fry", which means that I love "Home Free". Just a couple weeks ago, Home Free came out with their cover to this song. Now, don't get me wrong, I like Cam's version of her song. BUT, I feel like Home Free's cover sounds fuller. They shared all the lead vocals, and added in their "Home Free" flare. I heard Home Free's cover first. I have never heard 5H sing this one, at all. Perhaps, you should check out the Home Free cover, too. Appreciate the differences, and the similarities. Thanx, Mindy
I am here because of Home Free too. They try to stay true to the original artists so anything they do that great deserves to be checked out in its original glory
I just discovered her and think she is amazing. Unusual tone to her voice makes her stand out from other country singers. Smart too. Just listened to a speech she gave at a community forum about music. She holds a psychology degree. Check out the video
Everybody keeps talking about how the Fifth Harmony performance brought them to this video. I didn't even know who Fifth Harmony was. Cam's beautiful voice brought me here.
Such a beautiful song that I can relate to. Sitting in the car 2 am crying and letting go of the person I have been seeing. I always run back but need to say good bye. The net day I just sat on the edge of a cliff listening to this song an cried for hours. Somewhat soothing and it seems to be the closure I needed. Keep the amazing songs coming
won't lie...I'm only here to see who fifth harmony is going to perform with at the CMT awards but oh my gosh her voice is INCREDIBLE! I just became a fan!
I found about about Cam through her performance with Fifth Harmony, and I'm so glad I did. Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful video, and beautiful woman. She looks like Marilyn Monroe.
Is anybody else here not because of fifth harmony but simple because they're fans of Cam? Lol I've been in love with this song before the fifth harmony/Cam performance
I also envisioned a ship themed video; This is one of my favorite songs but this is my first time watching the video. This has brought me to tears, and was such an amazing, powerful video! I remember learning about Amelia Earheart in elementary school. She was one of my early introductions of strong women. It is so sad that she did not make it, but she empowered a nation of women to aspire to be more...
Lyrics:- You are overbearing; I'm not in love But I don't wanna tell you We've been contemplating how to give it up But I can't convince you We've been hopelessly holding too tight When we don't even need to And as the water fills this sinking ship I know we have to leave too Mayday, mayday This is an emergency Mayday, mayday You've gotta let me leave I'm laying here, inches away But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah Said I'm moving on, cause things were getting rough But here I am in your bed I strung it on too long, afraid to be alone Now we're in over our heads It's either sink or swim, we've tried so many times For worse or for better It tears my heart in two to leave it all behind And say goodbye forever Mayday, mayday This is an emergency Mayday, mayday You've gotta let me leave I'm laying here, inches away But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah Oh, you gotta let me leave Oh, the weight will make us sink Oh, could you please help me leave? Oh, abandon ship with me Mayday, mayday This is an emergency Mayday, mayday You've gotta let me leave I'm laying here, inches away But you can't hear me call mayday Mayday, mayday (You are overbearing; I'm not in love) (But I don't wanna tell you) Mayday, mayday (You are overbearing; I'm not in love) (But I don't wanna tell you) Mayday, mayday (You are overbearing; I'm not in love) (But I don't wanna tell you)
@@EmphamousMe I believe, at least from the video, it’s about Amelia Erheart. The woman aviator that broke several records. She gave up a lot to follow her passion.
+kit kat 42168 It doesn't matter if your a boy : ) you can still agree with girl power, you can still want to see equality between different genders in the world. Amelia Earhart broke down barriers for women to help make them more equal to men. Amelia Earhart not only was a female pilot, but she went as far as calling her husband her partner instead of husband. She once said and you can see that in the video; "please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail they're failure must be but a challenge to others." And just because your a boy doesn't mean you can't be a feminist. A feminist is a person, no matter their gender, who wants equality between the genders. And maybe you just meant that you like how Cam portrays Amelia and not that you agree with #girlpower but I couldn't miss an opportunity to get this out there.
Cam caused a huge sensation with her 2015 single, “Burning House.” She took a different direction for her next release, “Mayday,” and it’s hard to say why it didn’t quite seem to catch on. The song peaked at No. 36 on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart in May of 2016. Maybe it was just too sharp a turn, too suddenly, but her syncopated vocal performance over the top of a really interesting percussion bed track sure is alluring. From; Taste of Country
I only know this song from Home Free. Heard theirs, wanted to see the original. Now I am a fan. This song, THIS song, helped me leave a 20 year abusive marriage. So, thank you for this song. My 3 daughters thank you too, even if they don't know it yet
Now that's a great music video. she's so classy doesn't need to be taking off he clothes or anything sexually to be gorgeous. Way too go Cam! simple is so sexy btw
MAYDAY: You are overbearing, I'm not in love But I don't wanna tell you We've been contemplating how to give it up But I can't convince you And we've been hopelessly holding too tight When we don't even need to And as the water fills this sinking ship I know we have to leave too Oh-oh Oh-oh Mayday, mayday This is an emergency Mayday, mayday You've gotta let me leave I'm laying here, inches away But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah I said I'm moving on, 'cause things were getting rough But here I am in your bed I strung it on too long, afraid to be alone Now we're in over our heads It's either sink or swim, we've tried so many times For worse or for better It tears my heart in two to leave it all behind And say goodbye forever Oh-oh Oh-oh Mayday, mayday This is an emergency Mayday, mayday You've gotta let me leave I'm laying here, inches away But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah Oh, you gotta let me leave Oh, the weight will make us sink Oh, could you please help me leave? Oh, abandon ship with me Mayday, mayday This is an emergency Mayday, mayday You've gotta let me leave I'm laying here, inches away But you can't hear me call mayday Mayday, mayday (you are overbearing, I'm not in love but I don't wanna tell you) Mayday, mayday (you are overbearing, I'm not in love but I don't wanna tell you) Mayday, mayday (you are overbearing, I'm not in love but I don't wanna tell you)
Everything about this video is beautiful. Cam is so beautiful, talented and amazing. I loved the Amelia Earheart plot. Amelia is one of my heroes. If you don't know her story, go check it out. I love my Fifth Harmony girls bur they really should take notes from this.
I have watched home free doing their cover of this song, and the first thing that popped in my head would be what would happen if they did a collaboration with Cam of this song ., especially if it was performed live in concert or at an awards show?
