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!
No doubt you said it best I’m 25 this year Discovered him when I was 10 from my older brother we was in foster care we’re from Detroit and was in Wyandotte city and we were the only blacks this is 2009 I never met outside my race until now so I’m forced to see it for myself instead of being brainwashed glad I was at a age where I wasn’t noticed until I was I had me myself and talents but still wanted some type of love his music helped me accept people for who they are every time I was let down rather it was family friends or a Female I just appreciate everything I make music now I’m not streaming but his mood is a big affect on my style of music I’m not a Detroit rapper more soulful and Aiming to Become NuSoundsOfMoTown I’m J Przm Moses my story is being made today I started my new career and this song came across my page I needed this to start yet another milestone with his soundtrack
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 =) Don't ever stop writing songs Dallas
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.
I’ve been listening to this voice for over 15 years, since the AOF days, and that beautiful and unique tone never ceases to shock me and bring me to tears
I moved to America recently. I'm from Russia. A year ago I heard your song in Moscow in a pottery store. That was the first time I heard your voice, stood in one place until the song ended. On September 7, I was at your concert in LA. I'm really grateful to you for everything you do. My soul heals when I listen to your songs🙏🏽💔
The his man just ages like wine and his songs are timeless! No one captures the emotions with songwriting like Dallas Green. It’s just…he’s one of one.
Dallas Green, the impact you have left on so many of us. I spoke to a friend the other day and we had spoken of life, and the turbulence of it all. Somehow, your soundtracks, your music was the always playing in the background. Through the good, through the bad. Your music has always been there. I Thank You, We Thank You. I couldn't imagine going through some of this, without having this music for security and comfort. Thank you Dallas, Love DD.
I’ve listened to this song about 30 times and realized the sound reminds me of old spiritual church hymn. The rhythm and his vocals. Just an amazing version of the song!
This is another City and Colour that is helping me grieve the lose of someone close. Thank you Dallas, your music has helped me in many difficult times.
my auntie recently passed she took care of me, my mother. the night i said goodbye, im a mess, and i typed in city and colour, the band uploaded the video for meant to be that day. ive grew an attachment to this song, like many other CnC songs. this song reminds me of everything.
What can you say about this… words fail to compare what needs to be said… I saw Dallas sing this in Charleston with my brother.. it’s one of the most memorable and strong memories … thank you Dallas.. I am forever a fan.. have been and will be till my time on this planet is done… ❤️
I would have never made it past the age of 15 without Dallas. Your music has helped me through some dark times. Here I am, 32 married for 10 years with an 8 year old son. Still listening to Dallas on the regular and it still helps. Thank you man!
Dallas is truly one in a million. His music has got me through some really hard times that lead into life changing moments that have made me a better father to my daughter and a better man. Music is the cycle that makes us whole
I had lost my best friend a month before coming to your concert. You had me bawling my eyes out from the second row, feeling some of the most raw emotions since the day he died. Thank you for that. It honestly was embarrassing at times and I wanted to run out of there, but I just had to stay.
I lost my best friend a few years back and this man’s music has helped me through literally all of it.. let it hurt and embrace that pain.. and live for them! They would be proud of you just for being you and continuing on for them 👏💜
One of if not the best writer in music today. Such a powerful song from start to finish. You can just feel the emotion in the entire song. Thank you Dallas
There are simply, and absolutely no words to describe just how wonderful that performance was. Brilliant and heartfelt. Brought tears to my eyes. Especially knowing what's behind the song.
you can really tell people enjoy this with the watch highlights. it is stable across the whole vid and only fades in the end as they click the start to replay it.
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
I was crossing the park, it was the first days of work that I still do today, discovered by chance in London, in a shop, city and colours, what about Dallas, tonight I'm traveling back, slowly, without getting too excited, without remorse, life stupendous
The woman I was going to marry passed away a month ago on the 9th. This is the first day I can listen to this song. Thankyou dallas for these songs that bring happiness in sadness. I played this on repeat while sleeping in my car parked by the hospital window.
I kinda can’t believe I’m sitting in my car, 26 years old, listening to Dallas once again, new beautiful content. I’m married now to the best person in the world. And I just remember all of the heartbreak I endured before, and he was one I always listened to. I was 16 years old when I first found him. What an awesome dude 😭 I love you Dallas, you’re seriously amazing
I've been listening to you for several years now. Your voice is beautiful and your lyrics are breathtaking and captivating. Two Coins, Transmissions, and Rain When I Die will always be my top favorites. Grateful to hear your music and that it's a light in such a dark world.
I have learnt that over the years, Dallas hates the 1st and second guitar frets. Amazing tune; I can't wait for more. Dallas is the Gorde Downie of our generation.
There is an ease that comes with this stage of life. The 40's...the growing pains have ended, the constant racing towards the next thing...peace. maybe. Age looks good on you Dallas.
“…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.
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.

Don't ever stop writing songs Dallas
One of the greatest songwriters of this generation.
along with David Bazan

this comment just made me cry and reminds me of my ex too

That Martin though👌👌
“But I was missing my friend” 😢 Hits hard!
My God, there are no limits to this mans talent.
Dallas, you have the voice of an Angel. Thank you for bringing so much peace to my soul ❤
it's criminal how unknown this guy is.
@@bradcallahan3546 I have this thought all the time. However, how nice is it that only we get to enjoy our Dallas all on our own? :)
@@Mattsnotyours Everone I know also gets to enjoy his voice when they're at my house!
His solo acoustic cuts of these songs are my favorite. This man stands alone like no other. A true Canadian treasure
This is definitely my preferred version of this song. Absolutely beautiful.
I lost my husband January 2021 and wow did this song ever hit hard! So beautiful
❤❤
Much love ❤️
I’ve been listening to this voice for over 15 years, since the AOF days, and that beautiful and unique tone never ceases to shock me and bring me to tears

Magnificent
Impossible not to fall in love with your music ❤

This acoustic version is everything
That guitar's sound lives rent free in my head. Thank you Dallas.
You and me both.
Wanna say it’s a Martin 0-15
1944 Martin 0017
A million dollar tone
Keep singing Dallas. You saved me from a dark place.

Man the reverb in that room is amazing
The song of 2023... Thank you for the beautiful music as always. My heart is always filled with joy.
It's definitely not how it's supposed to be. Made me cry too .
This is another City and Colour that is helping me grieve the lose of someone close. Thank you Dallas, your music has helped me in many difficult times.
That music takes me somewhere i need to be, sometimes it brings the best of me, sometimes it brings me tears, either way it is a shine in the dark.

O anjo cantando para nós em acústico.
It's hard to ever ever have a favourite song of yours.....but this seriously is in my top 3.
My best friend just passed away Thursday, this song and your music has helped me carry on through a lot of struggles
With so much animosity in the world, and my own personal life, this song is peace.
I would have never made it past the age of 15 without Dallas. Your music has helped me through some dark times. Here I am, 32 married for 10 years with an 8 year old son. Still listening to Dallas on the regular and it still helps. Thank you man!
Dallas got me through a lot of dark times as well.. and current.
Same here as well!
Going through it
That is a BEAUTIFUL C.F. Martin. Wow.
I would love for this version to be available on Spotify!
His voice will forever slap.
This is so good but you must hear “Live Not Survive” or “Winding Road” by SLT 🤘🎧
Me and my mom listened to this song while she was dying. It means so much to me! It just all adds up!! I miss you mom!!❤❤

Dallas is truly one in a million. His music has got me through some really hard times that lead into life changing moments that have made me a better father to my daughter and a better man. Music is the cycle that makes us whole

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
This is so good but you must hear “Live Not Survive” or “Winding Road” by SLT 🤘🎧🎶
Every song you make deserves this,
this is how they are meant to be
Amazing song and artist. Wonderful voice and this song has so much soul in it.
What a beautiful song! I lost my brother suddenly, I found his body. This song reminds me of him.
R.I.P Dom....I love you❤

… I just really need to have it on repeat for a while
Acoustic is how Dallas is Meant To Be. This is beautiful.
Oh my god this is even more gorgeous than the original. Thank you so much for this, Dallas.
So much maturity and awakening in this song. Thanks for letting us in on another little piece of you! Peace be with you friend.
His voice is so beautifully haunting. He is one amazingly talented man ⭐️
What a voice! Jesus Christ! Come to Brasil again Dallas, please! 🇧🇷
I lost my Dad this past december, this song is hitting me right where it needs to
te amo
I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭. Always badass to hear your singing, Mr. Green.
Stapleton needs to cover this 🙌
Incredible. To be able to sing that well whilst playing the guitar so beautifully is real talent.
Love this guys voice and music...sings to my senses...
Man… every time I hear your voice it sends me back to Afghanistan. Thank you for the wonderful music
I would just love to see this acoustic live and personal. This song is so beautiful.
I like those blues notes sung at the end
Your music changed my life ….. keeps me out of my own head

I'm 26 and have been listening to Dallas since I was 10.
Never stop being who you are
Since the “Day old hate” your music conquered my soul and heart. Please never stop, we love you❤
I have learnt that over the years, Dallas hates the 1st and second guitar frets. Amazing tune; I can't wait for more. Dallas is the Gorde Downie of our generation.

How you only have 100k subscribers is unfathomable to me. Been a fan since '09. Keep it up friend ✌
Thank you, Dallas! Your music's what brings me peace on some days.
This is gold. Phenomenal.
The king of writing songs of sorrows
So much pure emotion and talent. Love you Dallas!
Thank you Dallas
Straight out of St Catherine’s Ontario the one and only
“…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.
2001 self titled, accidents was 2003 then cardinals 2004, 2006 was crisis.
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.
