"Lea Michele&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Cannonball&amp;quot; music video has finally arrived. The 27-year-old singer debuted the Robert Hales-directed clip for her debut single off her Louder album on Thursday, Jan. 9.\r\nThe emotional piece shows Michele looking lonely and vulnerable while singing passionately in an abandoned mansion. &amp;quot;I was scared to death I was losing my mind/ Break down/ I couldn&amp;apos;t close my eyes I was pacing all night,&amp;quot; she sings. &amp;quot;I think I found the light out the end of the tunnel/ I couldn&amp;apos;t find the truth I was going under.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIn the beginning of the video, the Glee actress wears an edgy black dress to match her dark mood. By the end, however, Michele changes into a white dress and sings in a room filled with bright lights.\r\n&amp;quot;And now I will start living today/ Today, today I close the door,&amp;quot; she sings. &amp;quot;I got this new beginning and I will fly/ I&amp;apos;ll fly like a cannonball.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n\r\nThe singer told MTV News that &amp;quot;Cannonball&amp;quot; helped her cope with the tragic July death of boyfriend and Glee costar Cory Monteith. &amp;quot;The minute I heard the song, I had a physical reaction to it. For me, it&amp;apos;s been my strength,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I listen to it every day. I know it was brought into my life for a reason. It&amp;apos;s really been so helpful for me and I hope it&amp;apos;s the same for other people as it&amp;apos;s been for me.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAfter the video premiered, Michele wrote a special thank-you on Twitter. &amp;quot;So thankful to everyone who helped me make my #CannonballMusicVideo and to all of you for watching . . . u all,&amp;quot; she tweeted.\r\nWatch Michele&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Cannonball&amp;quot; music video above and tell Us what you think."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
