It is truly a sad song, but a sadness that is a combination of all feelings, I'm nearly 62 years old, I'm closer to the exit than the entry, this song is beautiful, thank you Dallas Green for this song
I have been listening to this song for years now. No matter how long I stay away, I always come back. When I do, it's like seeing your best friend after a season of solitude.
Dallas, I don't know if you'll ever see this comment but I want you to know since your voice has found it's way into my life, everything's been all right. You've helped me cope with so many pains in my life. Your music always hits home with me. I love you. I love your music. Never stop, brother.
Superb talent. If everyone who decided to take on music for a vocation knew themselves as well as this man understands what he's doing with his art, life would be brilliant.
Last night I dreamt that they dropped a bomb Oh the seas ran dry and the winds had calmed The skyscrapers fell, and crumbled to dust, And their skeletons of steel were covered in rust And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Colours were drained straight from the sky And nothing living had survived Mountains were merely removed from the earth And silver and gold had lost all its worth And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared I woke from the dream in a cold, cold sweat I was full of doubt and deep regret, For suddenly it was all so clear to me; There was nothing left in which to believe And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared.
Speechless...........the words....the guitar.....how did he come up with such an AMAZING combination of wisdom and melody?! Mr. Green you are and will always be the best.
I was fortunate enough to see him perform in Nashville in 2020 right before Covid went wild. It was wonderful 2 see him perform. This is one of my favorite songs by him. 😃😃😃
This song make fell like I'm flying!!His voice unbelieveable!!!!He's an awesome writter and artist!!See him performing live is my biggest dream from now!!!Dallas rocks!!!!
I think he looks like a hipster, but he's just simply Dallas Green. That is part of the magic I get from him, he is himself and nobody else. No label, no anything, just Dallas Green.
2021. Dallas, You are so truly talented. It's so beautiful. I first started listening to you when you were a one-man-band; harmonica, tambourine, guitar and mic. I will listen to your music until I die. Thank you for every note and word you've given us.
i saw this beautiful man play on tv and caught my attention. now he's my addiction. i listen to him every day! i havent found one song i do not love. his voice and guitar are so amazing!
Beautiful. Just beautiful. I've been listening to City and Colour since I was a freshman in high school. I'm 24 now and I'm glad that I've had this man's beautiful songs to help me through things that I thought were going to break me. Thank you, Dallas Green. For real.
Feel as though this song is underrated in comparison to a lot of his others. Something about this song.. I've loved it from the moment I heard it years ago
i cant even begin to explain the impact this man has had on my life. whenever i feel alone, he's there. whenever i feel hopeless, he's there. whenever i want to just make it stop, he's there to pull me back. god bless you Dallas Green .
Never fails to stop me in my tracks. Saw them in Melbourne last year, "Smokin Hot" that night, there was magic on stage for a while and they where truly as one, right in the middle of the gig. Lucky me!
His voice is just so heavenly, I don't know how to explain how amazing this is. How smooth it is, and it just digs into your soul and makes you warm and gives you those big goosebumps. So incredible. :)
You are correct good sir! I have my 1941 00-17 sitting next to me as I type this, the 00-17s and 18s from this time frame have tones that will just break your heart and light up a room at the same time. Dallas has either a '47 or '48 (I believe), 00-17 here.
This is the definitive version. Feels like you're sitting right next to him. Great recording too. Thanks dallas, and the sound techs, where ever you are
For those who really enjoyed this cover by Dallas, go check put nutshell he did a few years before this one. He's a big A/C fan. He's a big artist in Canada and in an amazing post punk band Alexisonfire, which is also really big in Canada. Both bands have big followings over seas as well. I'm a fan of about 20 years. Dallas is up there with Neil Young in my book.
You have to love the humbleness of Dallas Green. As much success as he's had and he still ties his guitar strap to his guitar with a piece of old string.
2024 and still watch this video ever so often because Dallas is truly the soundtrack of my life. lol
3+ years of spotify's 1% club
I heard him play this live tonight. My life is complete.
Since 2011s drop... I'll never be able to see him live.. when I did I was working.. But.. It's been on my weekly rotation since.
One of the greatest song of all time. Feel like Dallas is criminally underrated
He should've gone on AGT 😂😂
It is truly a sad song, but a sadness that is a combination of all feelings,
I'm nearly 62 years old, I'm closer to the exit than the entry,
this song is beautiful, thank you Dallas Green for this song
Hope you're still around and kickin' it!
@@richardfromtoronto still here and kickin' it
Come on you young boy
It is all subjective young man.
So that makes you 69 bro!!! Still beautiful and still alive! Eyes to skies
I have been listening to this song for years now. No matter how long I stay away, I always come back. When I do, it's like seeing your best friend after a season of solitude.
The sound that Martin produces is Godly. What a beauty.
I knowwwwwwwwwww!
and a voice to match
It's not the Martin...
His name is Dallas. He is God.
I’d easily sell a kidney for it
I saw City and Colour in Tampa tonight. They played this. It was beautiful.
He starts playing his guitar and i instantly fall in love with the melody and than he starts to sing and i fall in love with his voice. So talented.
+SweetNess45 Happens the same over here.
SweetNess45 actually, the melody are the notes he sings. The guitar playing is the harmony. Still both astonishing.
I like Anthony green better
he makes the most rustic music on this planet. i love this dude.
March 2021. My son, who I named Dallas is now 18 months. Been listening since I was 19, am now 33 and will still be listening if I make 90.
Aw❤😍 that's cute I would love to see a baby named Dallas because of him
That math doesn’t add up
Dallas, I don't know if you'll ever see this comment but I want you to know since your voice has found it's way into my life, everything's been all right. You've helped me cope with so many pains in my life. Your music always hits home with me. I love you. I love your music. Never stop, brother.
I don't understand how he can sound so consistently great with every live performance. All talent.
Just discovered this song. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Absolutely love Lover Come Back.
I'm so glad i got to see him here in Argentina last week. He is the greatest one.
My favourite song! Don't know how someone could dislike this. When it's all said and done, Dallas will be one of the greatest singers off all time.
Superb talent. If everyone who decided to take on music for a vocation knew themselves as well as this man understands what he's doing with his art, life would be brilliant.
Swede McGuire Superb comment.
Dunning Kruger
Thank you, that's kind of you.
Well said dude 👍
Thanks, Colin.
+Swede McGuire ^^
Who on this planet with a soul could possibly have disliked this, Dallas is an inspiration that voice is sublime.
Check out our podcast taping with City & Colour from 2011. Dallas Green brought it as usual. Turn it up.
Guitar Center what guitar is he playing ?
Hello from 2024, from when I first listened to this song in 2009. Still one of my favorite songs of all time.
Last night I dreamt that they dropped a bomb
Oh the seas ran dry and the winds had calmed
The skyscrapers fell, and crumbled to dust,
And their skeletons of steel were covered in rust
And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
Colours were drained straight from the sky
And nothing living had survived
Mountains were merely removed from the earth
And silver and gold had lost all its worth
And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
I woke from the dream in a cold, cold sweat
I was full of doubt and deep regret,
For suddenly it was all so clear to me;
There was nothing left in which to believe
And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared.
Speechless...........the words....the guitar.....how did he come up with such an AMAZING combination of wisdom and melody?! Mr. Green you are and will always be the best.
Hearing Dallas in person was one of the greatest moments I’ve ever experienced it. 🥰
I was fortunate enough to see him perform in Nashville in 2020 right before Covid went wild. It was wonderful 2 see him perform. This is one of my favorite songs by him. 😃😃😃
He must be breathtaking live
@@hellojelen2598 Yes, he is. I could listen to him all day🤗
@@markishiajohnson7084 me too, his voice is like being wrapped in cotton
Powerful, he and William Fitzsimmons are two of my favorite songwriters/songs
This song make fell like I'm flying!!His voice unbelieveable!!!!He's an awesome writter and artist!!See him performing live is my biggest dream from now!!!Dallas rocks!!!!
this guy is unbelievably talented.
Every time I hear this song I bawl like a baby. It's gorgeous. I wish he would come back to Portland, Ore!!!
Dallas was a Hipster before Hipster was a thing.
the hipster's hipster
Not really, 2011 was basically peak hipster.
I think he looks like a hipster, but he's just simply Dallas Green. That is part of the magic I get from him, he is himself and nobody else. No label, no anything, just Dallas Green.
Mom AOF ftw
he's your favorite hipster's favorite hipster
2021.
Dallas,
You are so truly talented. It's so beautiful. I first started listening to you when you were a one-man-band; harmonica, tambourine, guitar and mic.
I will listen to your music until I die.

His voice is so angelic 🥺

Did you say 2021? I didn’t like how 2020 went. So now I’m back here.
It's not often that you find an artist who is just as amazing live as they are recorded. Dallas is absolutely amazing and so real.
He's so gifted
Crikey! That man's voice is something else. Absolutely beautiful.
Feel as though this song is underrated in comparison to a lot of his others. Something about this song.. I've loved it from the moment I heard it years ago

Some singers don't sound as good as they were on the record, but this guy sounds even nicer when he sings live
His voice, Its just beautiful. You can just hear the emotion and passion in it. His voice always make me feel better.
Never fails to stop me in my tracks. Saw them in Melbourne last year, "Smokin Hot" that night, there was magic on stage for a while and they where truly as one, right in the middle of the gig. Lucky me!
underrated artist...
UnreadComment Yeah, I think you are right. My bad.
@@GlenMeye It's all good, mate. We're all here to listen to something beautiful.
Underrated pardon do you like alexisonfire
His voice is just so heavenly, I don't know how to explain how amazing this is. How smooth it is, and it just digs into your soul and makes you warm and gives you those big goosebumps. So incredible.
:)
in any of his music I have heard there are no software touch-ups of anything its nice to see this.
this guy is a artist with a genuine gift of god, and that true words you don't will see in anyone else
Theres something about him that just makes you want to stop and think about nothing other than what you feel at this very moment of time.
Indeed he has the ability to connect ourselves with our inner self, that's what a real artist do
guitarcenter is right when the have no description.
you cant describe how great this is in words.
This song is ridiculously wonderful
That guitar should be privileged to be held by such a talented and amazing man.
we loved it!
Nossa Toca Dallas na nossa toca pfvr!!!!!

We'll have to split those numbers brah lol
After tomorrow night, my life will be complete. Seeing him live in New Orleans @ The House of Blues.
Louvado seja Dallas Green!
Rafael Oliver AMÉM
Br safado kkkkk
i don't understand why there are not more views for this video!!! it is amazing. He is and will be a great artist.
I believe it's a Martin 00-17 Mahogany?
You are correct good sir! I have my 1941 00-17 sitting next to me as I type this, the 00-17s and 18s from this time frame have tones that will just break your heart and light up a room at the same time. Dallas has either a '47 or '48 (I believe), 00-17 here.
Robert Bush His happens to be a 1944 00-17. Such a beautiful creation.
I always read that as "Double-ought seventeen" xD
one of my fav songs off his latest album. I just love how the mood matches well with the lyrics. Perfect together!
People just cant judge u by your outside anymore....
Anymore? as if it were proper practice at one point? Think before you speak.
ForFreeCz uhh... lol I think he meant that Dallas looks like a big manly man, but he sings like an angel...
ForFreeCz He got it backwards with his words... lol
ForFreeCz i meant he doesnt look like thats his style of music with his tattoos and such
yeah :) me neither. I DO NOT, match mine. hahaha
I love this man, he has the most beautiful voice and lyrics.
120 people need to be banned from music
I would kill to be this man's friend. To just be able to sit and listen, or play along would make my life.
"We're not sure what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones"
My favourite off the album! Such a lovely tune.
last thing i expected
Can't judge a book by its... tattoos.
truthspeaks84 tattooed books are the best : )
And to think he was in alexisonfire :'(
the spanish inquisition!
haha I found my comment on this video from 2 years ago? wild!
His voice is magical. It's echoes beauty in my ears.
2023*
This is true talent!! such a beautiful song with such a beautiful meaning
would turn gay for him..
beautiful delivery.....of a fantastic well writen tune man.....love it!!!!,,,thanks
This is the definitive version. Feels like you're sitting right next to him. Great recording too.

My favourite version of the song , 2023 dallas still blowing me away 🙃
it's beautiful! has so much soul...it surely aged greatly! this guitar must have so much history...
A friend of mine named Manny told me about this song. He said it soothes him. I find it soothing too,
this video deserves so many more views. Everyone please spread the word about this video
this guy bring me back the love for music and guitars
You have to love the humbleness of Dallas Green. As much success as he's had and he still ties his guitar strap to his guitar with a piece of old string.
