      I've adored you since I first listened to Sometimes, I'm so glad to see that you're still putting out deeply moving music. Your music has been a sanctuary for me over the years. Listening to you reminds me that I'm able to be softer, it's powerful to reflect, emotions are beautiful.

      Hello Dallas,
      My little sister died a year and a half ago in Melbourne. It still feels like the day I found out, here in America, everyday. I just heard your music. I can’t grieve. I can’t be there for my parents. I can’t fix this. And I’m a mess. And I want them to be ok. My sister would have loved your music. Her name is… was?… Caitlin and she was two months away from her PHd in physics at University there. It was during Lockdown. I need something for this grief. Dallas, I’m asking if you can somehow get my parents to this concert. My mom is keeping it together because she is the strongest, most intelligent and Logical woman I’ve ever known… and my dad stays busier than I’ve ever seen. And I’m a shit show. It’s just been so hard. Your concert is sold out for Melbourne. But I think this would be something that could help my family heal. They went to get her things just this summer. I still haven’t seen them since she came home. There is only emptiness, at least for me. I can send money in payments if you’d allow? The dollar amount doesn’t matter if you let me pay it off in time. If you can’t I understand; this is a huge request. But I couldn’t not ask.

      If you happen to see this.. I've been listening to your music since your first album release. It's changed my life more so than any other form of music. It's taken me through the deepest and darkest moments of depression after my divorce. I don't think musicians understand how much their music impacts individuals.
      Thank you.

    Yet another song of yours I can't listen to without getting choked up. Your music has been a part of my life for such a long time it's unreal. From high-school break ups, the suicide of my best friend years later, the first dance at my wedding, to the birth of my first child. For over 17 years of you having an impact on me in various ways, I thank you and look forward to 17 more!

      Me too. The first song I played and sang to my (then young) girlfriend was The Girl. Ten years later I proposed to her to the sound of that very same song, which also played on our wedding. She's pregnant now and we'll surely put his songs to help make our daughther sleep =)

    My first love, from my high school years, loved city and colour. He introduced me to Dallas. I found a kitten outside and he took it in, we named it Dallas because of our love for the music. I got a city and colour tattoo. My ex, he used to sing “the girl” to me all the time. he was a brilliant musician. I can still picture him sitting in his living room with his acoustic guitar and his cat on his lap. he was really special.
    We parted ways and grew apart, but i was reminded of him every time i’d hear a city and colour song.
    Anyway, he took his own life last year, in January. I’d like to think Dallas wrote this song just for him. They played city and colour at his funeral.
    Rest in peace Logan.

    When I grew up
    I had big city dreams
    I wondered if the Bible was wrong
    What the hell were they teaching me?
    I was lost in thought
    And I could not hide it
    But the sun, it kept on rising
    So, I played along
    But now that you're gone
    And I write down this song
    I don't believe this is how it's meant to be
    The church bells they ring
    You can hear the mourners sing
    They still believe
    This is how it's meant to be
    The wheels touch down
    All I can see is your face
    Amidst the noise of the lights
    The last thing on my mind was my faith
    And then the morning came
    And the sun started rising
    But I was missing my friend
    So, how do I carry on?
    'Cause now that you're gone
    And I write down this song
    I don't believe this is how it's meant to be
    The church bells they ring
    You can hear the mourners sing
    They still believe
    This is how it's meant to be
    Like a mother bird crying out for its young
    I will sing it loud with all the might in my lungs
    Cause now that you're gone
    And I write down this song
    I don't believe this is how it's meant to be
    The church bells they ring
    You can hear the mourners sing
    They still believe
    This is how it's meant to be
    Oh, how it's meant to be

    “…but the sun it kept on rising… so I played along…” he really captures what it’s like to go through grief. I lost my mom 2 years ago and this song and lyrics expresses these emotions so perfectly. I remember seeing Pulmonary Archery on Much Music back in 2003 or 4 and have been a huge Dallas Green fan ever since.

      Then again Pulmonary Archery was used a lot though, that and waterwings.

      Lost my brother almost 2 years ago and once I heard this song, it is my reminder of him.

    I might stay around a little longer in this life, just to be able to see you again and hear this song live...

    Going from Watch Out! straight to this shows how much of a journey this has been for us all. Feel blessed to have found AOF and Dallas back in the day.
    Not that this will get read personally, but thank you so much Dallas for what you've given to us over the last two decades.

      This is so good but you must hear “Live Not Survive” or “Winding Road” by SLT 🤘🎧
