Dallas has literally played a song to every aspect of my life thus far. I have loved this song but stumbled upon this version the night before I lay my 20 year old brother to rest forever. I can't sleep. Yet, this settles my soul alittle. Rest in eternal peace to my baby brother Keonni. Please know just how loved you were.

Beautiful times. 2011. How time flies.

[@LunaNueva1320]

Now, that's what you call talent; playing the harmonica and guitar at the same time!

[@JoLaureys]

i listen to this song every single day

[@BdaB164]

Those hammer ons tho.

[@MeisterHomer]

I really love this Song, I'd love to see him live one day

[@NickKeigzRs]

[@RockaDude15]

I'm not even Canadian and I'll agree to that statement!

[@HxCxIvanShot]

0 dislikes. That speaks for itself.

[@dallasgreen47]

foda pra caralho esse video *---*

[@JediPIRATEchick]

These WFUV videos are great! These are wonderful performances by Dallas. As they all are, but I feel like these sessions are different for some reason. Guess they seem more intimate ;)

[@jesseroussellmusic]

you definitely have a good thing goin

[@MrWhitebait]

I think if ya'll love the tunes of Dallas you'll enjoy listening to William Fitzsimmons... Great track!

[@RidesOnPigs]

Replying to a four month old comment here, but for City and Colour, try "The Death of Me" and the second section of "The Girl". He was also the lead singer for Alexisonfire, a post hardcore band, so pretty much all of those songs are lively.

[@rockymcshaw2746]

Listening to Alexisonfire. Thanks for the suggestion

[@ExplodingTrafficCone]

Listen to "The Girl" and "Save Your Scissors" :~)

[@BubblegunNoGum]

Watch the video called 'city and colour on being perceived as sad'

[@ChaosTheory693]

Am I the only one who automatically starts humming the harmonica parts ?

[@JorgeMags]

@DaCoreySmith i have mixed feeling about that. regardless, great song.

[@DrDylanCressman]

He is neither bob or neil, he is Dallas Green our generations Dallas Green. Ive never herd music like his, and it is every bit as good if not better than any bob or Neil song.

[@SMutum]

incorrect, he plays in a variety of styles as well as tempo and time signature changes. listen from early stuff through to now. theres a lot of development and also he changes songs etc when he plays live. style is never the same twice it seems

[@brandonjones9582]

dallas green

[@Rachzmor]

Anyone know how his style of strumming is called? I can't make out if he's using a pick or just strumming with his thumb and index.

[@dickyjeebers5403]

I'm not a great guitarplayer or anything, but to me it seems like he's using thumb index and the ocasional nail... Seems to soft to be using a pick:s

[@Rachzmor]

That's what I thought. Thanks!

[@jman6090]

Cheeney it's swing rhythm

[@kieranr9037]

Anyone know the key of his Harmonica? I've read everywhere that its 'A' but recently he's been playing the harmoinca part differently to the album version. It might be stupid of me to ask but is it a different key or simply played differently?

[@felipesgonzalez]

use ur ears

[@Falcata]

its definitely an A harmonica! i play this song in standard tuning, no capo, with a G key harmonica (only because that's all i have available). since each fret on the guitar represents a semitone, going from G > A key harmonica would require you to move two frets up (capo 2).. there's also another live video where you can actually see the A marked on his harp as well... hope that helps

[@kieranr9037]

PhanTheMan I've since figured it out but thanks for the help anyway dude!

[@tessi4993]

@@Falcata thanks. I ordered one just to play this song :-)

[@Allsparkendox]

There's 2 different rhythms in 'The Girl'...

[@shredhead987]

I agree, but he is still Dallas Green, he will be known for being himself not compared to other artists

[@EnergizerBunny804]

No, Dallas Green's songs aren't nearly as topical or smart lyrically, but as much as I love Bob Dylan, I'd say Dallas Green is easier to listen to, pleasing chords and melodies sung by a beautiful voice, which Bob Dylan admittedly lacks

[@eahs07]

Possibly, if Bob Dylan could sing...

[@SelkeMusic]

I don't even remember writing this, so disregard that part.

[@Ad_youtube376]

alexisonfire

[@Asmallbray]

He really doesn't sound anything like Bob Dylan, nor does he sound like Neil Young. I can see the comparison as to talent, but musically...

[@EnergizerBunny804]

well as far as City & Colour is concerned, I'd say the lyrics are pleasing by the number type love/sappy songs, not to say they aren't moving are meaningful of course, just no Dylan comparison

[@SelkeMusic]

Id say Neil Young cause Bob Dylan, although a great guitarist/songwriter, wasn't the BEST singer. But that's besides the fact when it comes to Bobby. But we all know Dallas has a voice of unicorns puking rainbows

[@TheFizzMic]

No, Bob Dylan was a terrible singer. Dallas Green is a fantastic singer.

[@danbiz2012]

Take your ignorance somewhere else....he writes for him not you.

[@9611CALL]

nobody can play guitar and harmonica at the same time without being compared to bob dylan, so annoying
