City and Colour - Harder Than Stone (Up Close and Personal at the Edge)

[@MNorman]

When I see these other talented singers like Ed Sheeran and Passenger get massive radio replay and worldwide attention, it always makes me sad that Dallas doesn't get the same sort of recognition and attention. One of the music industry's best kept secrets, he is.

[@Bobboooo2]

having his songs on the radio being overplayed is the last thing he wants. He said so in an interview

[@rhysndaz]

john collins I agree with him to be quite honest, he's doing what he wants with his music, which makes it so much better.

[@ChaosTheory693]

His passion for music is beautiful, he isn't concerned about chart numbers or having that hit single, he makes music because he loves it and it's that simple. I love Dallas not only for his music but for his morals also

[@krw5328]

@... the fact that he is Canadian makes a difference....what a great voice ! Too bad everyone else is stuck on all the top 40 crap the music industry is forcing down our throats

[@robertmcompton7863]

We like it that way. Sometimes gems are better left where they lay.

[@TheseCitySecrets]

His throat was kissed by an angel. Best artist ever.

[@jamesbrown9130]

"Leaving behind Toronto's incessant hum" - god I love that line. Those of us who live here know that feeling. We probably also know the feeling of heading north on Hwy 69. The sound of the steel guitar - not sure why.

[@superhotbread]

Yet another Canadian treasure continuing to make us all proud.

[@allegrot438]

The dislikes are surely trolls; one cannot actually dislike this performance.

[@SN011GlobeTrot]

Dude he used to frontman Alexisonfire. Obviously people that resentful of the fact that he discontinuned and quit the band!

[@alexvyriotes4219]

@@SN011GlobeTrot George frontmaned AOF and still does Dallas is still the most talented in the band in my opinion

[@austindurham5736]

Dude I know a few people that don't like his voice. They need their fucking heads examined, cause that is crazy as shit.

[@Vikingland]

I would kill to be 1/10h as talented as Dallas Green is. Fuck man, he's amazing.

[@CoolCakesJack]

"When I was young, I didn't know too much, I thought that I could rule the world., but then I grew up."

[@afteryourburial]

love how he used some of his lyrics from born and raised in AOF :) so awesome

[@justinsayswtf]

4 years late but I look at this song as kind of a loose sequel to Born and Raised. Born and Raised, to me, is about questioning your purpose and not knowing where you fit in, like an existential crisis as well as agnosticism. “Was this place made or was it here by chance?” “Even disbelief requires a leap of faith.” Harder Than Stone is more about acceptance that we’ll never know everything and we can only make do with what we have. “I ain’t afraid of dying cold and alone when my time comes.” “I grew up. I found out life was hard. Harder than stone.” Always loved that these two songs share lyrics and seem to follow one another thematically.

[@MirageGuitarGirl]

Did not expect that voice to come out of him when he first started. Beautiful just beautiful!

[@okthanks1858]

Wish God gifted me with such a voice, what a blessing.

[@shibidi]

The quality of this recording is super clear..Thanks!

[@breeny162]

not too many musicians that consistently put out AMAZING music, he's a genius

[@acy2004]

What a gorgeous voice and beautiful song! Words cannot do this man justice...never stop Dallas. Please.

[@johnvizzle]

2019 and i’m still bobbing my head to this

[@LadyMidnight03]

I absolutely LOVE Dallas Green, ever since his Alexisonfire days. He has such an amazing voice & the City & Colour lyrics speak to my soul. I can't "like" this enough :D

[@jonnelson4]

Damn that's good.

[@ryanhanney1236]

[@leahitz3622]

Literally cry every time. Amazing :')

[@jaytaylor6971]

Every Time this is my favourite song that makes me feel

[@imhereformusic]

This song always makes me so emotional. All I think of is the 14yr old me I'm afraid of disappointing. I won't let you down.

[@theseboots.3185]

Kimberly you are beautiful.

[@Corbelle]

Thank you Dallas Green, this song helped me learn my tenor/falsetto range that I never knew I had!

[@StumpyOrangeCap]

Well, look who I found. Time to take after you.

[@petercram9691]

I can't look away, instantly hypnotized.

[@BrohareOG]

He was writing this song before "Born and Raised', he could just never finish this song and it worked for the other. So he added it to alexis.

[@rudyvilardi4305]

He brought the melody to Alexis on Fire, and never disappoints with City and Color. I love this is

[@bencummiskey9558]

Life is hard, harder than a stone. bloody great song!

[@jordanklein3689]

Some of his finest work.

[@briandelacruz5753]

[@alexisonfire2076]

+Luara Alves Dallas is just too good!

[@nikayalohr9707]

Putting together a playlist for class, looked up some bands, and I almost forgot about this band

[@theseboots.3185]

So much more talent than given credit for. Bro keep doing it right. Music is ALL that matters.

[@KJL995]

Great song, Dallas! Thanks for uploading! (awesome lyrics)

[@MrRaptormatt]

[@miketurnbullmusic]

[@haggard101]

the perfect blend of beautiful vocals and masterful guitar playing. i salute you sir!

[@heatherspencer4058]

My favorite song !

[@Dou21_]

Such a great song 🎶

[@MyNameIsWhat118]

there's also another part where he says "my heart will roam in search of warmth" which is from young cardinals.

[@ChaosTheory693]

Is he even trying? He makes it seem as easy as breathing! I'd love to hear him belt out a chorus as we have only seen small snippets of his true vocal talent at full steam - what a beautiful song

[@mitchcavanaugh7796]

Sounds a little bit like James Taylor. Not sure if anyone is old enough to know who that is.

[@radkid06]

I do.

[@markparazaider7890]

but then again all this sounds like the beatles so........

[@MegaTokiWartooth]

Who still says that? we have the Internet now lol it doesn't matter how old anyone is, a five year old could see your comment and just google James Taylor for a day and suddenly "know" him like the hipsters do...

[@johncameron9941]

I always think that! The guitar in the begin forsure

[@oth9021023]

you know that a band is good when you fall in love with every song from them

[@xmellymox]

Dallas is a solo artist, he only has a band for touring. But yeah, he's amazing!

[@Theonewhoclimbs28]

Melissa Moore You should check out his old band Alexisonfire if you're into hardcore at all.

[@xmellymox]

I love Alexisonfire already! haha. But thanks!! :)

[@Theonewhoclimbs28]

Very good then, carry on.

[@xmellymox]

Haha! They're amazing, seen them live a few times and seen them on their farewell tour. Emotional!!

[@TheDngEffect]

[@lem0n499]

They're amazing live. I saw them first week of September. He got kettlecorn because he said he wanted it and some fan bought it.

[@michaelheinrichs7802]

[@claytonclayton6185]

Cheers I'm not kidding

[@choupafly]

ouuuuuu wow

[@sportsportsport]

he sings so high!

[@RuTaY1Keane]

Wouldn't it be a dream if Dallas posted his original chords oh my

[@DawnCaroleAnnHale]

what is it with people and obsessing over singing? The lyrics are great, but i cant take my attention away from the guitar - he plays amazingly.

[@taylorharper836]

+Carole-Ann Williams People relate with a voice more because its something majority of people have, even if they can't sing well. He's also just playing chords, pretty easy chords too.

[@KahRistAhn]

All of it is amazing.

[@KahRistAhn]

All of it is amazing.

[@bandit4832]

His singing is just as great as his guitar playing. He's amazing all around.

[@jonbessant8535]

why is Dallas not on the radio?

[@greg68888]

No, this line is also in Born and Raised

[@jadenorthey8505]

What guitar is this one he uses?

[@HiddenRoses]

i just love the AOF reference in this..

[@eahs07]

Watch the interview about this song right before he plays it. He says it's the same lyrics with different meaning.

[@gstrfst]

Someone knows the exact model of his guitar?????

[@giovannasouza3866]

Algum brasileiro curte esse deuso da música ??

[@10transatlanticism]

It's a custom Martin, not for sale unfortunately

[@jesmbc]

@Alvaro Rodriguez Ortiz not sure, but looks like a model from the martin custom shop...

[@flowers321]

Dallas Green has a great voice!

[@antwilson3558]

I thought these were English because they are so cool!

[@mikey-eb4ug]

Who are the 6 idiots that would downvote such brilliance

[@jaydaniels974]

11 idiots now.I like/love the song myself.

[@Roymorinfamjam]

That outro!! Who knew!

[@peteriliac3306]

Fuck it. Playing this til it hits 700k

[@attack30s8]

I was a huge Alexisonfire fan. Then they broke up. I enjoyed Sometimes and Bring me your love. I think Little Hell released after their break up and at the time I thought it was decent, then he released this album and I hated it. As I grew older and found my way into adulthood, I found out I actually love this album more then any other one he put out.
