People outside Canada aren't exposed to Canadian artists unless they live near the border and can pick up our radio stations. That's all there is to it. American radio stations are biased against playing any Canadian bands. They just won't do it. If you look at the Canadians who make it big in the US, they all have to LEAVE Canada (and usually become American citizens) BEFORE they achieve that peak level of success. It's rare for someone to remain in Canada and also get that international acclaim.
Default, State of shock, Nickelback, Metric, our Lady peace, Simple Plan, Sum 41, Finger Eleven, Theroy Of a Deadman, Three days Grace, Hedley, Billy Talent, Avril Lavinge lol pretty extensive catalog from 1995- 2005. Hell even Triumph and Rush are Canadian
I love the way these bands like Default, Fuel, Sevendust, Nickelback, Lifehouse, Staind, Stone Temple Pilots, do what they love which is real music with such a dedication, passion and heart. Not that fake ass Auto Tune shit some do nowadays.
@@Jason-eg4hr its been 8 years from my original comment. Can you imagine, this generation won't have anything to call classic music, cause after that comment things like Migos, Lil Uzi, Lil Pump, Travis Scott, Tekashi, non of that will be remembered at all and cant be either cause they arent memorable at all. Its more and more garbage.
Default carried me through the break up of a long term relationship. It's been well over a decade and I've happily moved on completely, but they will always hold a special place in my heart and mind for guiding me through that time in my life.
I loved this band and still do. Damn, they were so good and vocally amazing!!!! Most of my friends didn't agree back in the day, though. 😢 I'd forgotten about them, until recently! Updating my playlist now! Screw my ancient friends opinions! These guys were awesome 😎😎😎😎
I can't believe this song hasn't gained a lot more popularity. I love the hard groove it has and what it has to say. If we all helped carry each other a little more each day , the world would turn smoother and we'd all find a way
Man just live their Volcals and harmonies ! Rock magic ! This band is and was so so good. Massively underrated and no idea how they could not have been bigger !
💯❤😍🤩 this song suits my father to bone, thank you for being hard working man you are, love you , thank you for being a great father to all us. We might not have much ,but you always made sure we didnt go without. Greatful , honoured & proud to say your my dad
This song definitely helped me when I was going through some hard depression. I listen to the song and listen to the lyrics to remind myself how much it helped.
I couldn't for the life of me remember your band name for a really long time, I knew ya'll had songs I loved but circumstances didn't allow me to listen to music for a really long time, so I had completely forgotten the name. Went through my really big CD case a couple days ago and FINALLY found your CD with your name on it lol I'm so glad I can listen to you guys again ❤❤❤
Great song by one of the most under rated rock bands in Canada... Dallas has an amazing voice .... It is sad that Default is defunct but I am happy for Dallas with his success in country music.
Dallas Smith has a voice like no other artist. I don't hate on Nickelback like other people do but Dallas voice is on another level. Two totally different sounds
They have such a killer sound...very solid Rock band! Dallas has a terrific voice for this kind of music. Wait a second...he has a terrific voice for any kind of music! Yeah....
Excellent song....Dallas has a very powerful voice.So glad this great rock band is back together after Dallas delved into a country sound for a few years.Default is opening up for Weezer & Stone Temple Pilots tonight in Prterborough, ON
I've never ever heard any one have a voice like him. He has the most awesome voice I could listen to it all day. I've loved them since they first came out.
What an amazing song! Powerful lyrics! Great voice and musicianship! Great groove! Actually made me think of my 10 year old son and how I am here for him no matter what!!!
I still follow him as cluntry singer. I had the chance to meet him and his crew after a show in Quebec with my wife and oldest daughter!!!!! Such great people.
This is the song that won me over with me with my husband of 12 years. I left 2 years of abuse when he sent me a mix CD with this song on it. It meant a lot to me because of what I have been through. 12 years later we have 2 children on top of my son that he accepted as his own.
I listen to heavy metal mostly, I prefer aggressive music, but this song when I first heard it really did evoke an emotional response. Hope 3 years after that 12 things are still great for you both!
I love this tune it gives hope light and purpose for the future often darkness can rule the uncertainty of the future we need more songs like this great job boyz
This song describes a bunch of stuff for a bunch people but for myself in particular I just enjoy the sounds being created by their instruments and voices.
You know, I don't see why people complain about Vevo so much. It's not about who makes the video, it's about it being about there. It's about the music.
I love this song. This has gotten me through so much. My boyfriend and I have been together for three years because we know how much we need each other because of this song
Saw him at the Harrow Fair a few days ago promoting his new Country album, he played this, Wasting My time and Deny along with the country hit, and they sounded better than on the album tracks. Truly incredible.
Dallas Smith has a one-of-a-kind voice. Should 100% be more famous. Sounds so much better than 90% of today's "talent".
This song should really be re-released for today's generations. I don't understand why such an amazing song is not known globally!

I don’t live anywhere near Canadia but we’re still rocking Default 10+ years later. Good tunes find their way to open ears.
Amen brother, as a born again those lyrics are immensely powerful and need to be heard globally
They wouldn't relate. There isn't any "bruh," "nah," or "u no."
This entire album is amazing! Default had the misfortune to have a label that didn’t promote them.
Man......Canada sure had some killer bands in the late 90's and early 00's.
Canada has had alot of great bands from the 70s forward
Default, State of shock, Nickelback, Metric, our Lady peace, Simple Plan, Sum 41, Finger Eleven, Theroy Of a Deadman, Three days Grace, Hedley, Billy Talent, Avril Lavinge lol pretty extensive catalog from 1995- 2005.
Hell even Triumph and Rush are Canadian
Big Wreck, Matt Good
@@reversegiraffe3976 You forgot danko jones
The Tragically Hip, The Headstones, The Teaparty
Dallas has that whole DILF look going on and I'm here for it . Default was a severely underrated band back in the 00s and they still are.
These guys deserved more success
Definitely
I love the way these bands like Default, Fuel, Sevendust, Nickelback, Lifehouse, Staind, Stone Temple Pilots, do what they love which is real music with such a dedication, passion and heart. Not that fake ass Auto Tune shit some do nowadays.
Agreed except STP is leaps and bounds better then the rest in your list in my opinion

Nickelback? Lol
@@chriswilson1968 yes Nickelback. Is it still trendy to pretend they’re bad? I thought that nonsense ended
@walsh32 nickelback used to be decent but their newer songs aren't that great.
One of the best songs EVER WRITTEN! Thanks Default! Your story ain't over yet! Come to Vancouver island!
This band doesn't get nearly as much credit as they deserve. Even now Dallas is on his own. Still underrated.
Aleisha Bruner - I agree
Agreed
Default carried me through the break up of a long term relationship. It's been well over a decade and I've happily moved on completely, but they will always hold a special place in my heart and mind for guiding me through that time in my life.
Powerful lyrics. This song reminds me of my wife and all the support she has given me through my life.
I loved this band and still do. Damn, they were so good and vocally amazing!!!! Most of my friends didn't agree back in the day, though. 😢
I'd forgotten about them, until recently! Updating my playlist now! Screw my ancient friends opinions! These guys were awesome 😎😎😎😎
Here we are singing this with my 10 yr old Daughter. 2020 yeah buddy
Paul Dulac yeah you’re corny
Rock on Now/then!
I remember singing this with my dad when I was little 😁
Paul Dulac this is MY JAM! HAVENT HEARD THIS IN YEARS. ROCKING ON BRO
You’re doing life right! Rock on brother 🤘🏻
In all honesty, his voice does sound like a mixture of a country singer and rock singer.
i love their feel good tunes they fuckin rock
One of the strongest live voices I’ve EVER heard and I’ve seen just about EVERYONE live
This song is amazing acoustic. If you haven't heard it, GO NOW!!!
Their most underrated song.
+link biff i agree defiantly their best song
+link biff Great song but a lot of their songs were great like " Comes and Goes"
+link biff Song? This entire band is underrated
+iBolt07 yea I know their songs are all good I'm surprised they aren't more popular
Maybe because they sound too much like Nickleback?
I can't believe this song hasn't gained a lot more popularity. I love the hard groove it has and what it has to say. If we all helped carry each other a little more each day , the world would turn smoother and we'd all find a way
yep I don't know why these guys are so under discovered......great sound
This and "Wasting My Time" ruled my summer while 16
I was 24
It's 2020. I remember having this song playing on loop when it first came out. Best song Default made!
I’ve had it on repeat all day!
i agree i used to to have the CD of theirs one thing remains before some jerk i used to live with wreck it
In all seriousness, can we talk about how dope the bassist is
Man just live their Volcals and harmonies ! Rock magic ! This band is and was so so good. Massively underrated and no idea how they could not have been bigger !
💯❤😍🤩 this song suits my father to bone, thank you for being hard working man you are, love you , thank you for being a great father to all us. We might not have much ,but you always made sure we didnt go without. Greatful , honoured & proud to say your my dad
@britanyashford1616,.....Love your commentary!
Still listening.. October 2019
July 2020 :)
July 2020... Since covid I've rediscovered so much great music.. Soundtrack of my life
This song is part of my blood. Just like my grandfather is in my blood
2:30 is a killer. Daughtry definitely reminds me of this. Awesome!
This song definitely helped me when I was going through some hard depression. I listen to the song and listen to the lyrics to remind myself how much it helped.
She isnt ther for me ever......
Beautiful simply a song
I love Default
Killer tune!! Default rocks ❤
Still love Default and this amazing song!! 🤍
Sang my heart out
The beginning of this song made me think my earphones broke! i could only hear from one ear :-)
I couldn't for the life of me remember your band name for a really long time, I knew ya'll had songs I loved but circumstances didn't allow me to listen to music for a really long time, so I had completely forgotten the name. Went through my really big CD case a couple days ago and FINALLY found your CD with your name on it lol I'm so glad I can listen to you guys again ❤❤❤
the drums kick it and the bass bring s the thunder
I needed to hear this today ❤️🩹
This guy can sing..he's even better live!
Powerful lyrics, a wholesome jam
Great song by one of the most under rated rock bands in Canada...
Dallas has an amazing voice ....
It is sad that Default is defunct but I am happy for Dallas with his success in country music.
He did a show in Winnipeg a few years ago......first set was country and then Default took the stage. It was EPIC
Dallas Smith has a voice like no other artist. I don't hate on Nickelback like other people do but Dallas voice is on another level. Two totally different sounds
Nah both great in there own ways. Chad is more of a baritone with more rasp but Dallas has a bit more range
They have such a killer sound...very solid Rock band!
Dallas has a terrific voice for this kind of music.
Wait a second...he has a terrific voice for any kind of music!
Yeah....
Exactly! I love his country side, and I basically just discovered his rock side and holy cow hes good!
Amy Crandall Yes he is! Very good!
the chorus sounds like Nickelback. I'm not surprised the guy went country
to a very special some one in my lfe in 2008 ok miis her bb bum
This song makes me think of every family member and friend I've ever had and motivates me like never before. This is very powerful.
Love this band
PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER ALBUM!!!!!!!
Just caught this on the radio. Haven't heard it in a while. Thanks for a great song man.
dallas smith can easily sing any kind of music. he has the best voice.
Trinity Johnston if like this band, you should listen to alter bridge. alter bridge sounds better in my opinion but im a fan of default too
the chorus sounds like Nickelback. I'm not surprised the guy went country
@@Celestial_Being666 i thought this was country
@@steelheart6927 some parts it does sound country
@@Celestial_Being666 good song though
Still remember when they produced this music video since I was at the location in Toronto - miss these guys
One of the best bring you back up songs I've ever heard a song from god
2019. Always loved this song.
Excellent song....Dallas has a very powerful voice.So glad this great rock band is back together after Dallas delved into a country sound for a few years.Default is opening up for Weezer & Stone Temple Pilots tonight in Prterborough, ON
Gonzo21121 it was Seether not Weezer, I saw them in Kitchener! Great live performance, these guys blew me away!
I've never ever heard any one have a voice like him. He has the most awesome voice I could listen to it all day. I've loved them since they first came out.
What an amazing song! Powerful lyrics! Great voice and musicianship! Great groove! Actually made me think of my 10 year old son and how I am here for him no matter what!!!
This song reminds me of self acceptance and to know we have unconditional love from the Universe xx
This was their best hit in my opinion.
I still follow him as cluntry singer. I had the chance to meet him and his crew after a show in Quebec with my wife and oldest daughter!!!!! Such great people.
This dude has a great voice. Not sure I like all their songs but he sounds good.
They have some good songs.
Such A Beautiful Song ♥️
Love this guy's voice. Very powerful.
I used to play this to a friend of mine that was going through tough times. Needless to say i play it for my sake as well cause i love default!
Loved these guys saw them live a couple of times.
What a great song
you brothers rock wish u guys would come back to rock our world brothers i miss default PLEASE COME BACK bros
Still listening in 2024
To think that he's a Country artist now! Dallas is talented on both fronts!
I can feel his country influence in this song no wonder his good at playing country solo. good job dallas.
Band has a reunion tour coming in 2019! Hopefully new album to follow up a 6-song hits ep (redone songs from one thing remains & fallout)
Best news ever!
I love when people realize that this is Dallas Smith- The now country singer
I was shocked when I found this out as well!
i agree I was listening to "tipping point" and was wondering why he sounded familiar!!
I haven't kept up with these guys at all so when i read your post I looked up what he's doing now. Blechh :/ . From this to godawful "bro country"?
the chorus sounds like Nickelback. I'm not surprised the guy went country
I’m sitting here with my jaw hanging wide open in awe, trying to put it all together, haha.
Gloveberg I’m a huge fan of Dallas’s country career. And believe me, he’s the complete opposite of “bro country.” He’s doing country right. 🤘🏻
This is the song that won me over with me with my husband of 12 years. I left 2 years of abuse when he sent me a mix CD with this song on it. It meant a lot to me because of what I have been through. 12 years later we have 2 children on top of my son that he accepted as his own.
I listen to heavy metal mostly, I prefer aggressive music, but this song when I first heard it really did evoke an emotional response. Hope 3 years after that 12 things are still great for you both!
I ❤this British Columbia Canada boy...I'm not always proud to be Canadian but we have good bands
I wish this band would make come back...
Such an inspirational song!! Everyone has that special person that will pick you up if you fall :)
Caleb Bartlett Yeah, yourself :)

this jam is off the hook this dude knows how to get it done
cause it's just good music
Awesome tune. Great guitar riff. Rock on Default!
I bought this album back in 2005. Totally underrated song.
Absolutely amazing song here
I love this song , its my song for my husband , sisters and my best friends, and our kids, the words are so true. good job default!
I love this tune it gives hope light and purpose for the future often darkness can rule the uncertainty of the future we need more songs like this great job boyz
Criminally underated band!!!
Very edifying lyrics accompanied by appealing pop rock. Great tune
Good tune, heard it all the times in Walgreens when I was working there lol.
2020 and still love this song
WOW! It's 2021 & I'm 57 years young! I'm gonna tear up LA listening to this song in my BMW black I8 !!! "The HELL with getting too old!!" lol 😎

Honestly so beautiful.
Good Lord, what a voice :))
Love this jam! Great lyrics

we all need someone to "count on"..love this song !!! love his voice !!!
This song describes a bunch of stuff for a bunch people but for myself in particular I just enjoy the sounds being created by their instruments and voices.
You know, I don't see why people complain about Vevo so much. It's not about who makes the video, it's about it being about there. It's about the music.
What awesome song. This will play at my wedding
Love the way defaults music was composed. It works
Its sad that this band never got its recognition they deserve cuz their music has been nothing but good
I couldn't agree with you more. These guys should have been HUGE !!! Just piss poor promotion from the record company.
Awesome....one of the good bands that not alot of people know of!!
What a great song!
I love this song. This has gotten me through so much. My boyfriend and I have been together for three years because we know how much we need each other because of this song
Very nice music
Have a happy day
2022 still coming back to this Gem, hopefully i'll be back with great news later in the year. Wish me luck!
Saw him at the Harrow Fair a few days ago promoting his new Country album, he played this, Wasting My time and Deny along with the country hit, and they sounded better than on the album tracks. Truly incredible.
Just attended the reunion show in Ottawa and they are even better in person!
Is this not what life is really about? I think this song really sets the truth out there...
