City and Colour - Waiting

City and Colour performing "Waiting" at the Six Shooter House of Sin during our 2011 SXSW Verge Sessions.

[@andyharem]

Daniel's guitar picking during this song adds so much flavor to the song. I love it, and it sounds so good.

[@sickmike0739]

if there is a heaven I imagine it sounds and feels as relaxing as this. This song reminds me to enjoy life as a ride and stop trying to constantly control it.

[@AndrewSavedbyJesus]

SickMike07 Well said my friend

[@darryl163]

Beautifully put

[@Painfulwhale360]

SickMike07 there is a heaven for sure man. God bless

[@josephbet8262]

well said my man!

[@celested6181]

My absolute favorite version of this absolutely amazing song. It's my go to song when I'm sad or stressed or anxious or having a hard day. It reminds me that we've all got a dark side. Sigh. So much beauty in the music of Dallas Green. Thank you for sharing your beauty with the world.

[@tom3p0]

Have you watched the latest version? I think it's the SiriusXM Live version...it's so pretty!

[@appleapple1603]

Grow a set

[@jasminediaz1999]

Gosh Daniel Romano looks so young haha where have all the years gone. Still remember hearing city and colour for the first time in 2008 in a car driving alongside the beach with friends.

[@chaseryder]

Daniel’s harmonies are sooooo good. So deep.

[@makor2817]

those glasses are cool. Btw is that Steve-O in normal mode playing the guitar?

[@bobbyritthaler862]

Micah straub !! Listen to these music critics !!!! They're all commenting if there is a 3rd guitar, or if the couch they're sitting on reminds them of their Grandma's couch, or if the guitar is tuned to a different planet's liking. Holy Shit people !!! Sit back , listen and enjoy. In fact, put this song on full blast ! With your headphones on and close your eyes and just listen to how beautiful this is. Have a good night. I said goodnight !!!

[@Sumanoske92]

I think the other guy names Daniel Romano but i'm not sure.

[@discoveryman59]

Wow these two play great together it reminds me of the way Gordon Lightfoot and Red Shea played years ago.

[@Dunning.Kruger]

yeah yeah.. good call

[@Jhetto123]

No beard Dallas Green looks 20 years younger

[@miketurnbullmusic]

...it's official! I have a new favourite singer/songwriter/band (I love you Neil Finn but Dallas Green is doing it for me just now!) ;)

[@IDKSOMTHIN]

Elixir strings make me write like this.

[@mo2bel]

i hear ya brah!

[@Shannonmdempsey]

Makes me fall in love with Dallas all over again....truely the greatest musician of our time

[@mloyd64]

I HATE CITY AND COLOUR...... said no one ever

[@noahmcdx1]

Man I don't know what they're doing, but everytime he hits that Em in the chorus it sounds freaking gorgeous. It sounds like a bell ringing.

[@rollnado]

Actually Dallas are playing C with a finger on the B cord on the second bar , and after a G with the same finger xD

[@noahmcdx1]

i'm talking about the em. It's for sure an em.

[@SamHortonMusic]

Noah McDaniel Definitely an em.

[@rollnado]

em

[@keeifstevens3177]

Well he is using a guitar that is close to 100 years old in this video.

[@mloyd64]

I have his name on my fretboard too

[@acy2004]

Absolutely stunning! Makes my soul cry!

[@cesarmadaflower]

It's hilarious how people get annoyed this days. "His name on the fretboard gosh, that really pisses me off" c'mon people there's war and hunger in other places, stop acting like idiots

[@stonepark50]

Lol what the fuck is daniel romano doing with city in color.... Both beautys but wtf

[@JakeTanin]

Freedom, Love, Music.

[@Cotton926]

swag.

[@C4ssieRose]

The voice of an angel and the melody of the sky’s graceful tenderness..... ☁️ 😇 ⛅️

[@Train-train-h9k]

dallas green est un génie de la musique...

[@WilliamCDPoulin]

Gino DiLorenzo Man, that guy playing guitar with Dallas Green is Daniel Romano of Attack in Black and, well, who makes his own solo music. This guy is one of the best canadian songwriters I know working today... Great, great stuff! Check him out... Check out Liberties by Attack in Black, Years by One Thousand Fingertips, his solo western stuff... Songs like Time Forgot (To Change My Heart). Yeah!

[@wellandlifex]

a coma might feel better then this but if i was in one i wouldn't be able to listen to this you guys should do more stuff together maybe an album reminding me of how good simon and paul were

[@mitchchin8056]

I'd pay 100$ for a tab

[@zacknorton7771]

same

[@tomathanielguitar]

Tuning is EADGAD with a capo on the 2nd fret. If that helps at all. Just follow his finger patterns.

[@floridagator1722]

Tab ver 3 on ultimate-guitar is a great start ;)

[@jaeken]

I think Dallas G string is tuned to an A. Look at how he plays it. Makes no sense with EADGBE, but it makes sense with EADABE.

[@brendanbrown1204]

If you wanna play it differently...I know em, C/G, and then that C/G form slid up a fret works

[@pinkinthesushi]

My goodness they both look like babies here. KZbin made a playlist for me and this video was in it so I just decided to leave a comment here to say that City & Colour really carried my Fall experience in high school. Discovering Dallas and his music was something I won’t ever forget about. His fashion sense at this time was the reason why I started wearing coats for a while hahah.

[@Bolofof0]

Thank God for this!

[@bolodoido]

Como pode ser perfeito assim? 🇧🇷

[@WeCouldHappenAgain]

Daniel's guitar's tone is fantastic.

[@ericagalarza8557]

His voice is amazing. This song is beautiful.

[@londonhardcorekid]

that's not pretentious at all. Going to country clubs and drinking 50 year old scotch and thinking that you're so much better than everyone else is pretentious. Getting your own name on your fretboard is not

[@life_is_a_fantasy]

This video is what made me start studying finger style guitar about 3 years ago, such a lovely, solemn song

[@TheReclamation14]

Two masters in their craft

[@daonedenver]

idk about you guys but everytime im done listening to his music i grab my guitar ^_^

[@kakashi9009]

@wetfrombirth84 of course he doesn't need anyone. he's dallas green. but im diggin the direction he's taking city and colour with using a full band and shit.

[@kylieBBQ]

@ZOMBIELANDakaUSA oh yeah I would agree, it's funny. I was talking more about people being like "wtf Romano's singing sux y iz he here" and stuff. hahaha.

[@robertbruce4362]

First of all, I think jvcke is right about tuning the G string up to an A is right, which means that the best version ver 2 on ultimate guitar does not match. The best way to learn the song is to try and figure out what chords Dallas is playing. Sometimes Daniel plays that exact same chord and depending on the camera angle, it is easier to see Daniel's finger position. Man this is a good song.

[@69Semiazas69]

please explain how that's pretentious. in my eyes it's simply customizing something you OWN. i didn't realize people weren't allowed to do that.

[@sk1llface]

For those of you dissing Dan Romano, go listen to some Attack In Black and tell me these two aren't worthy of playing together.

[@Yeahhhyoudid]

@FindingLoveInMelody Its an old country motif to have something written on your fretboard. Hank Williams Jr did it for example

[@notangryjustdismayed]

agreed. its somewhat pretentious. maybe pretentious is the wrong word, but there's just something not right about it.

[@jaeken]

I think Dallas G string is tuned to an A. Look at how he plays it. Makes no sense with EADGBE, but it makes sense with EADABE.

[@cutchopweld5717]

What is Daniel playing here? First I thought a Martin but it has a Guildish pick guard?

[@wetfrombirth84]

Not to be rude...This sounds amazing... but Dallas doesn't need anyone to sing background ... (kind of kills it)

[@kylieBBQ]

@ZOMBIELANDakaUSA if you don't already, I suggest you listen to much much much more City and Colour. :)

[@pandacanon]

who the HELL dislikes this???? Do we hunt them down? Whats the protocol on these things?

[@hyperdrummingskater]

That daniel guy makes this in my opinion. Gives it a bit more beauty, but thats just me.

[@SMutum]

agreed. daniel romano is just like the greats, Waylon and Merle had their names on the strap. Romano is a great but still alive and playing well! The new album is perfect country!

[@magicmiles]

I think you're all missing the point... It's a good advertising tool, and it works - personally I wouldn't have looked up his music if it wasn't for seeing his name in these Verge sessions and I'm glad I did. No biggie.

[@oyasmah2316]

allo les francophone!!!!

[@xjayblesx]

Dallas's Fucked Up shirt FTW!!!

[@11mogley11]

is therea reason that the music video for this song is no where to be found?

[@ShaneAOF]

Daniel Romano compliments Dallas so well in this version. He really is under rated, his old band Attack in Black has two terrific albums as well.

[@lisamustard5744]

+ShaneAOF 100%

[@petercram9691]

never realized I could fall asleep with my eyes and ears open.

[@citylightslikerain37]

@n1ckvasquez ** a COMA might feel better. learn the lyrics, LOL. :P

[@oyasmah2316]

this is perfect... amazing... i love it"

[@patthewoodboy]

Mum died a few days ago , I watching her while she died

[@kingy007z]

Does anyone have an accurate chords list for this version in particular?

[@pierrot148]

+Scott Arteta It's been years since I've played it but I think I remember I ended up searching for tabs instead of chords and eventually founded something that sounds just like this. I think it's this one. tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/c/city_and_colour/waiting_ver2_crd.htm

[@KinglyUpheaval]

just saw these two tonight. best show I've ever seen

[@UndeadInk]

@jordanhiley They are'nt taped. They are called finger picks.

[@grandfathers]

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THE TYPE OF GUITAR DALLAS HAS?

[@pirlofc1851]

perhaps it was a gift by family, friends, or a fan.

[@kurtdahle]

those low harmonies are damn hard to pull off

[@harrisondocarmo7923]

humm I never knew steve'o was a musician

[@tomtoca]

Mito, Gênio, Best the world, Dallas is amazing.

[@imaphil4life]

@santaserpenta dallas green is city and colour... lol

[@bradtindall2588]

Romano is the King. That is all.

[@sommervilleTRS117]

Any body know the tuning dallas is in ?

[@Jdogasauras]

i reckon that's sick.

[@Zerbzzzz]

What guitar is Dallas using here?

[@qwertyughhh]

Say goodbye to love, and hold your head up high.. There's no need to rush, we're alll just waiting, waiting to die

[@romanjsmith]

points for the fucked up shirt!

[@n1ckvasquez]

A cold one might feel better...

[@CameronForrester]

I'd kill for that fucking Martin...

[@eduardomunarim7458]

Oh my Gosh, it's amazing.

[@sommervilleTRS117]

I know for a fact you can play the song in standard, but for the original version of it he is in an alternate tuning. which I want to learn because me and my friends are doing a whole studio remake of it video and all for class XD

[@kylieBBQ]

I think Daniel Romano deserves more respect than some people are giving him. I agree, Dallas doesn't NEED anyone to sing background. but it's a nice change, and music should never be stagnant. Daniel's voice add something new different; it does not detract from the Dallas' beautiful voice. I trust Dallas' musical judgement implicitly.

[@XgremyX]

daniel romano is the shit.

[@notangryjustdismayed]

and i didn't realize i wasn't allowed to form opinions of my own. next time i decide to express my views on things, i'll make sure to ask you what i should think first.

[@AtlasZero13]

Anyone here in 2021?

[@CrashThisTrain]

well said.. Oh how I miss attackinblack... You should also check out Daniel, Fred and Julie.. I've seen him play live with attack, city and colour and Daniel, Fred and Julie and every time I am blown away by how talented he is. Not to mention when Grey Kingdom opened for city and colour he played drums.. apparently he can do it all.

[@AJ-qv1kv]

this song needs more views

[@wildkingdom2012]

what, exactly, are you spouting off about...? Who are simon and paul? Do you mean simon and fargunkle perchance? Or are you just trawling?

[@dillonbetts]

one person is impatient

[@sommervilleTRS117]

@leelifox I am pretty sure its not. The chord have a alot of open notes so I am guessing it is an open tuning. but Ill give it try. thanks

[@nikkoazz]

@AwesomeSauceBah It's a vintage martin 00-17! I think I read somewhere that it's a 1989 model. :) Nowadays the model is called 00-15 ;)

[@cachetband]

@kylieBBQ i think his finger picking in this song makes it. hes actually an excellent guitarist, and im very happy to see Dallas has been keeping him around so much

[@iiCybershotii]

it's almost impossible to hate on dallas green, for anything, but I wish they would have spent more time tuning their guitars before this song...

[@brockpeso]

Still not over this version

[@ashee0921]

@kylieBBQ I agree -- I just saw City and Colour for the first time with Daniel playing alongside Dallas and it was a really awesome new sound to take in.

[@pinballshenanigans]

Daniel Romano rocks!! His solo album was released recently!! He is so INCREDIBLY talented. He hit the charts with Attack in Black, Daniel, Fred and Julie, started his own record label (You've Changed Records) and now his second solo album is just unbelievably AMAZING!! NOt to say his first wasn't, it's just that Sleep Beneath the Willow is beyond words!! Thanks for the great entertainment!!! Obviously Dallas appreciates your talent too!!

[@pandacanon]

@wetfrombirth84 daniel romano is one of the best guys to play with dallas. so talented on guitar and his vocals are great as well.

[@SLIMBEATZONE]

Insane song

[@PlindyH]

I can't speak for these frames in particular but I know most of his glasses I've seen him in are by Warby Parker, by his own admission.

[@fuzzzvibe]

@masterofbattery That's a vintage 1942 martin 0-17. And I've already checked, it ranges from $4000 - $6000. But it's such a beautiful and bright sounding guitar

[@JackAlexanderGoss]

Didn't Romano work with him on the new album too? Pretty sure he played quite a strong part in its production.

[@acsatirzinha]

enjoy it

[@FindingLoveInMelody]

As much respect as i have for dan romano... you have to be pretty damn full of yourself to brand your name on all of your guitars....
