I Lost Both of My Parents last year they were 62 and 65 they were my best friends i never left home and now they are just gone vanished from my world... I still can't deal i feel lost and alone i heard the new album for the first time and an ocean is flowing out of me and yes it hurt's but also there is a solace that i am not alone in how i feel. Thank you Dallas for making it hurt a little bit less !!!

[@gabrielfontenelesiqueira2674]

I'm so sorry for your loss, I really hope they are in better place having their well deserved rest. I've dealt with anxiety and depression back in 2021 and and those are surfacing again, and thank God there are Dallas' songs to help me with that, because they usually tell what my head can't in the middle of an attack. If you ever need someone to talk to, count on me, the same way I need people for that same purpose too, from time to time. May God bless you.

The genius part of Dallas Green's music isn't just the music, it's the cadence that caters to the feelings - like the way he delivers the line, " So what, is life, life for me now?" I can feel the heaviness from having a pause between those words - when you're so distraught you have to breathe in between because your chest is too heavy to take a deep breath. It's the double meaning of the words taken as shorter sentences and then as the whole: So what? So what is Life? So what is life like for me now? Or if you look at What Makes A Man and the whole way it's played is reminiscent of a train's rhythm. All music is poetry but his work is on a different level. It's holds your nose to it, you can't just listen without being held in the grips of the emotion. I'm a singer - not an artist like this, just a voice - and I'm used to putting a song on like an outfit - you wear it for a time but it isn't you. I can't do that with his work. I still can't listen to this or What Makes A Man without crying and I'm not a crier!

[@tracyandrews5477]

This is a brilliant explanation of Dallas' music. I too am drawn into every single word he sings. Music is my therapy, and Dallas Green's music has helped me more than therapists who charge a lot of money. The raw emotion in his lyrics differentiate Dallas from a lot of artists, then throw in his incredible voice, THEN throw in the musicality and genius arrangement...let's just say that he's a peerless peer in music (at least in my mind). Thank you for sharing this beautiful post. I am a crier though.

[@sarahmonroe2275]

I wish I could like this more than once.. great comment describing Dallas’ music!

[@lionessdez]

This song is helping me thru a rough time, thank you for the good music ♥️

[@MattDoiron]

The best music video ever made. The truth behind but all is so real.

[@vandmike87]

I lost my father a few days after this song was release. Didn't listen to the new album until the day he past away. Needless to say this song hit hard. Driving home the day after he past I heard this and had to pull over due to me crying. I know some songs or albums come out and just hit close to home but every song on The Love Still Held Me Near feel like it was written for me. I know it's just Coincidental but thank you Dallas.

[@RUsMJ21495]

An absolute brilliant and beautiful gem of a song. My heart goes out to Dallas for his loss. Heard this first on CBC and grateful to have caught it when I did.

[@DanCappo]

My favourite song off the new album. The lyrics hold such true meaning...a song that makes me feel at one with it. Thank you, Dallas and the band!

[@natewilliams6657]

This song hits home. I feel like this is what my nana understood. She cared about family until she passed, even those who weren't blood. Life is what you choose to care about, and I choose to work towards the loved ones which I care about. Great song.

[@randiejantzen6799]

Dallas..you’ve been given the gifts of artistic talent and a stunning singing voice…thank you for sharing them with us!

[@jh1669]

It is criminal this doesnt have more views. What a tune

[@Gazsuncoast73]

So beautiful man, I love this song very much. Your voice has always melted my heart. Please keep singing and growing. Your heart must be so pure

[@brenodavids]

No more easy victories of youth, Just the things that we choose to care about. S2

[@ClarkKent-j4u]

Dude this record is gold!!! Holy shit iv been missing out

[@hugosolisr]

Absolutely gutted by how beautiful this song is. Such emotional and yet smart, precise writing. I’m really happy I found one of Dallas’ songs in a playlist. A fan forever

[@tracyandrews5477]

My favorite of the album. How Dallas can continue to write lyrics that are both thought provoking and emotion probing blows my mind. From a musicality perspective, this song is so beautiful, and (as always) Dallas' voice is perfect-3:20 is otherworldly. From a lyrical perspective, the song captures what I've held true for myself for a long time, but even more so since my son died in 2018. I've found that what we choose to care about and put our energy into define us. His music continues to be a soul salve that I am so thankful to have the opportunity to listen.

[@rockster1226]

3:30 IS otherworldly. You are spot on. Goosebumps first time and each time since. I almost can't believe what I am hearing.....that little scratch. Oh my gosh. He gets better and better and better, crazy!!!!

[@bradober2416]

How can you just walk out on me Without a trace? I don't hear the sound of your voice I can't see your face On one side of the coin, there's a cure But on the other there's a curse Well, I'm living in the larger world now Where work brings worth To the things we choose to care about So, what is life like for me now? No more easy victories of youth Just the things we choose to care about I know that I have more than I will ever need But I've learned that it does nothing to stop The reocurrence of greed And there ain't enough whiskey in this world To ease a tormented mind So, I'm longing for that place in my dreams Where light brings life To the things that we choose to care about So, what is life like for me now? No more easy victories of youth Just the things that we choose to care about Your memory It will remain Always and forever As winter fades What still remains Always Just the things that we choose to care about So, what is life like for me now? No more easy victories of youth Just the things that we choose to care about

Love this song as well as the rest of the album and your earlier works. I kick myself for not seeing you and guys in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium earlier this year. Next time. Have a happy new year.

[@Steelrain322]

when I was able to listen to this song, and not cry I knew I was healing.

[@shawnbarseghian2437]
