[Music] Mega Man Zero 3 - Cannon Ball (Extended Vocal Cover) | CtW

BlacklightIR on twitter suggested a vocal version of Cannon Ball from Mega Man Zero 3 a few months back and it knocked around in my head for awhile until this popped out. I wanted to see just how big I could get my vocal choir to sound without drowning out the rest of the instruments.
Big shouts to crackinglazer for taking some time to make one of my videos way more interesting to look at.

Lyrics:
Everyday I feel like my past is haunting me
All the time I see their eyes saying "you're guilty"
Endless fights though I think I know what's right
Just to spite all the scars I hold deep inside
Chorus:
Don't write me off like I'm someone's copy
You're not the one who gets to define me
I am my own
Original
All of my heart and my soul... are mine
I've
Heard it said you're not defined by how you were born (fake)
Destiny is just an excuse of the battle worn (fake)
I've
Made my choice to bring the dark into light
Hear my voice as I shout to resist madness
Chorus
I feel rushing in my ears
I feel pounding in my chest
I feel my grip tightening
Cracking through the sins I kept repressed
You say you're the messiah to change us
But you're just a puppet with unseen strings
You say that I'm a fake but I've my own mind and I'll
Prove to them that I'm more than just my-
Body cries out for relief
As we strike each other down
our laboured breaths pierce through this scene
Silence comes as you fall to the ground
So in the end light shown through
I'm more than
just my Past
more than him
More than them
I'm my soul
I'm me
Chorus

Yes, so much yes. Cyril is the Megas/Protomen for the Zero series. :>

[@CyriltheWolfmusic]

That's some high praise and I'm super happy you think so :D :D thank you~

[@myew]

Cyril the Wolf I've been following your covers since I first heard them on OC ReMix many years ago, I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true. 😸 I hope you'll do more X/Zero series later.

[@CyriltheWolfmusic]

wow :D that's a long time!! :P OH please believe I more X/Zero stuff coming :D :D

[@phoenixstormjr.1018]

Now we just need one for the X series.

Real, fake, good, bad, truth, lies, Hunter, Maverick, Alpha, Omega, original, copy.... Don't write me off like I'm someone's copy. You're not the one who gets to define me. I am my own Original All of my heart and my soul!! (Love lyrics. They work so well with the battle.)

[@omega3116]

I might be late, but DAMN am I happy to see this, I always thought that cannonball was meant to define how much godly power Omega as the original Zero has, but you also showed me Zero's perspective on things, can we eventually get a version defining Omega's perspective?

[@CyriltheWolfmusic]

I'm not super into re-doing or remixing the same theme.... However I am working on something that relates to Omega even if it's only slightly related. There is a version from ZX that has some different bits I could farm from though so while it may not be soon it could still happen!

[@omega3116]

@@CyriltheWolfmusic yeah, Hard Revenge would be nice, but I swear, in the intro of the theme I hear this "I have come back, for you, I will not stop until this blade cleaves through you"

[@shelbybayer200]

Someone already had done that

[@pokemonnnerd]

Most vocal covers I've heard revolve around Omega's viewpoint, so it's refreshing to hear a cover from Zero's Also the callback to the destiny bit from your X vs Zero cover is great!

[@Akabalthy]

This song is the exact "Oomph" the telos version needed. Great job!

[@elGuionistaSSS]

yep

[@DJPlanman]

Whenever I try to make my own fan lyrics to this theme, I never really could get more than the chorus and think up stuff for the rest of the song, so I think you did a fantastic job making such a cool remix with good lyrics. Damn good job, Cyril. I always love hearing you take on Zero music!

[@digitalwarrior5862]

thanks for singing this song cyril! you just made Zero feel very relatable with this song, like spiderman!

[@kylestubbs8867]

Someone should do a mashup of these lyrics with Man on the Internet’s cover.

Me too

Holy shit, this gave me chills. I love the Zero subseries, and Cannonball is probably my favourite track from the Zero games. You did this some damn good justice, Soup!

[@elrincondemario6779]

Not bad my friend, but maybe something a bit slower would be better, after all slow balads were an exict in heavy metal

[@CyriltheWolfmusic]

you're right. I need to do something slower. I need to exercise my ballad chops again

this is amazing!! could someone do a AMV using this song and the video of UMX "Zero vs Omega Zero decisive battle" it would be incredible!! 😃😃

If you tweet it I'll RT it ;)

[@HCN-002OldChannel]

Do you have a version without the vocals? No offense to you, but I like video game songs without lyrics, sorry if I offended you.

[@CyriltheWolfmusic]

not offended! I do not have an instrumental handy - maybe i'll post them later on... (I say not having responded for like a month) I find I work in a space that meets a lot of people that share your opinon

[@zwataketa]

These are really good lyrics, holy crap! Amazing work!

[@ilexgarodan]

Can someone please make a ROM hack of Zero 3, and replace Cannonball with this version?

[@NavedKhan-nh4ib]

Man who ever listen song and music his body moves like a foolish thing

[@austinreed7343]

I wonder how a version from X’s perspective would be like, given two of his closest friends have become a mindless beast of destruction and a self-important goddess.

[@CyriltheWolfmusic]

May I point you to my X vs Zero cover?

[@austinreed7343]

@@CyriltheWolfmusic Yes, but it’s different from that situation, because Zero’s body has become host to a new being and Zero is now in a new body, fighting alongside X. Not to mention the Dark Elf.

[@CyriltheWolfmusic]

good point - though I don't like to redo the same song too often but it is an interesting though :-)

[@austinreed7343]

@@CyriltheWolfmusic Different singers for X, Zero, Dark Elf/Iris, and Omega would be a good twist. Maybe the guardians and Weil/Wily.

Мне тут мысль пришла... Ты поешь превосходство, несомненно, но мне стало интересно как бы твою песню исполнила девушка?

[@CyriltheWolfmusic]

This one may be a little low during some parts for a girl. Though I'm sure it'd sound quite good for most of it.

[@Ego_sum_Lux]

@@CyriltheWolfmusic он звучит офигенно. Всё замечательно. Идея появилась у меня из-за неких личных ассоциаций текста песни. Суть в том, что сюжет там немного схож с случаем Зеро и Омеги, в том плане, что один "копия" другого, разница в повествовании такая: там девушка была создана на основе богини, имела её внешность, часть характера, но была абсолютно полноценной личностью, когда она встретилась со своим праобразом, то богиня нарекла её "подделкой", на что та ответила, что "я сама себе оригинал", прям как в твоей песне.

[@Ego_sum_Lux]

@@CyriltheWolfmusic к тому же я тоже музыкант и прекрасно понимаю, сколько трудов, стараний и времени ушло только на эту песню.
