This song hits me like a mountain in my heart. My bother never knew he was going to pass away from a heartattack. He was a healthy 20 year old. Before he passed he listened to all city and colour songs and especially this one. About three months before he passed he randomly told me that if he ever died, he wanted to be cremated and his ashes set free on his favourite Mountain. Crazy thing is, he was also listening to this when he went on a little walk with earphones in his ears when he had his heartattack. So it's really beautiful, all the little messages he gave us before it happened and I will always remember him through these songs

My best friend died last week. 40 years old. Heart attack walking out the door. I can relate to your story. I hope you're doing well. This song is heavy for me also.

Brings me back to a time when I was ordering a double cheese burger at McDonald's and it was only a dollar. 2009

[@Janaya-fs8iz]

That Martin. That is HIS guitar. The sound he gets out of it is something special, add his voice and it’s literal musical perfection 🥹

[@nosomossuiza]

Te amo, Dallas Green.

[@jasonvadeboncoeur5870]

This music means sooo much to me. When I had the chance to see him live tears were flowing uncontrollably.

Who disliked this masterpiece

[@kingscroopy]

some lost soul

[@rennangardini9365]

It's been 9 months and i'm still hunting them

[@Clint_of_Earth]

Possibly harmonica lovers. Definitely not the same without it, although I didn't dislike it.

[@jonny-b4954]

I'd say it's a good chance the 2 are random misclicks too lazy to change it back or too unobservant to notice they misclicked. I mean.... has to be. Hahaha Nah, never discount people's lack of good taste.

[@twopeaksnorth8184]

2 pieces of **it

[@jwhart89]

I remember seeing him at a show about this size about 15 years ago. He broke a string and stopped a song to change it midsong and started over. Equally amazing to this day to see a raw performance by Dallas. One of the greats.

[@drewroy22]

I listened to this song on repeat when I lost my grandfather. It was one of the main songs that helped me work through my grief. Even now and then when I play it on my guitar, I tear up a little.

[@shermanlowery6754]

I want this song played at my funeral

[@kelvbundy]

Dallas Green is amazing 🎉 I got to meet him last week, a memory I'll treasure forever ❤️

[@ryanmullins2103]

Definitely one of my favs.

[@RobMcGarr]

I only found this version because I was trying to find the strumming pattern to be able to play this song but wow, please put it in the box with me when I die 🖤

[@shawnvagnier5107]

Just went to a funeral for my uncle today. Died of addiction.I am an addict that constantly screws up. Even with a newborn. I hear this song so hard. I don’t want to die. But When I drink I welcome death… we go to some cold places but death is death. Unless you care about something more than yourself

[@jordanowens6253]

I'm 30 years old. Been dealing with drugs and alcohol since I was about 14. Just hang in there. I also have issues to this day, but you can never give up. Even when it feels like it won't get better, it will. Just gotta wait it out. Keep going, friend, it's worth it.

[@69AdrianGolosky69]

Hey man. Just lost my friend to addiction today. Do everything you can to make a change. Please ask for help, there is no shame in that. The only shame is a life cut short. Please try and get the help you need, not just for those around you but ultimately for yourself. I am heartbroken right now and wishing I could of done something different for my friend.

Dedico esta Musica ao meu Amigo Diego !! Obrigado !!

[@zamarazevedo]

Corpo No Caixão Há um cortejo fúnebre na estrada Se arrastar um movimento de murmúrios Estas pessoas à procura de uma melhor forma Para viver suas vidas Johnnny viveu uma boa vida, foi o que ouvi dizer As lágrimas de tristeza molham o chão O ceifeiro entrou silenciosamente, tomou o seu fôlego No meio da noite, oh Nós celebramos a vida dos mortos Isto é como se a melhor festa de um homem acontecesse quando ele morresse Nós nos reunimos para prestar nossos respeitos Enquanto tem almas que ainda estão procurando a luz Procurando a luz Então, por favor não venha a mim no dia da minha morte Apenas me deixe ir em paz Com todas as coisas que eu esqueci de dizer que Corria pela minha mente, oh E você não me enterre seis pés sob a terra Basta queimar o meu corpo em uma caixão E lançe as minhas cinzas com o vento Fora no céu da noite

[@jaywhitaker1147]

Really??!!??? I feel so so bad and sympathetic for the ONE person (at the time of 9/16/20) that not only felt or found a reason but enough to actually click the dislike button for this amazing song and even better artist. The reason i go with pity instead of being mad about it is that i guess you never know what someone has or is going through. Whatever the reason though still makes me sad for that individual, because they are obviously unable to accurately see or hear PERFECTION AND GREATNESS when its right smack in front of them and oh the difficulties they must have to face on a daily basis.

[@cbcmusic]

A strong, thoughtful and empathetic case - but in the end, there is no accounting for taste. Just like every song has at least one person who holds it as their favourite, there's one out there who just really doesn't like it. Thanks for sharing, Jay. 🤘

[@nicolecampbell5622]

3 now! Philistines

[@klotenklaus8084]

I've been to more funerals than birthday parties in the last couple of years. Dallas is right.

[@ryanmullins2103]
