In this video, I react for the first time to the Canadian artist City & Colour otherwise known as Dallas Green performing a cover of Alice in Chain's song “Rain When I Die”. I analyze his amazing performance, explain and demonstrate his vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. This is an amazing tune and I am so glad I finally reacted to it!

I am so glad you’ve reacted to Dallas Green! PLEEEEEAAAASE check out more of him, he is fkn amazing!!!!

[@DavidTorpid]

Grand optimist is one of my favorite songs

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Wish I could upvote this 10000 times. This channel needs to do a deep dive on Dallas Green. I'd also love to see her hit some Thom Yorke. Maybe In Rainbows, reckoner, something like that.

[@hellixx256]

I've heard his voice described as "buttery smooth", I don't think even butter could ever be as smooth as his voice

[@Moose745]

This dude's voice is unreal

[@y2jace124]

Listen, I have been a die hard Dallas Green fan since like 05’. I saw him live 10 times with both of his bands. I could never understand why is voice is so magical, you just explained it to me in a couple of minutes ❤. Thank you.!!! This dude his a hidden treasure.

[@y2jace124]

Btw, in his live CBC performance of Bow Down To Love, he absolutely belts a couple of lines, if you want to hear him go hard. ❤

[@charlenemachine208]

His album, “Little Hell” by City and Colour, is perfection. 🇨🇦

[@Sillyygxrl]

That’s my favorite album too

[@rylandoz]

Bring Me Your Love is incredible too

[@stevenst-pierre6517]

​@@rylandozBring Me Your Love is the most one i always listen and sing this album is perfect

[@mattewing1506]

I was hooked as soon as I heard Fragile Bird, and just found more reasons to love his stuff

[@jeffcole8971]

He is the best singer in the world. I dont think it is even close. Put his live performance up against ANYONE and he smokes them. He is my favorite artist of all time

[@TheFamilyImprint]

Dallas Green has an incredible voice - he's one of my FAV voices

[@DusterBuglas]

my favorite voice ever. Several incredible studio albums and he’s even better live.

[@jenn42739]

Omg PLEASE check out Alexisonfire! Dallas' smooth vocals mixed with George's screams and Wade's grit is simply perfection. It's hard to suggest only a couple songs since they are literally all good, but This Could be Anywhere in The World and Young Cardinals come straight to mind, and Sweet Dreams of Otherness and Sans Soleil off their most recent album. The Canadian homies 🥰🤘

[@nicp2039]

Sidewalks when she walks,by alexisonfire, is good song to check out Dallas’s earlier singing

[@b33b00]

my fave! 🖤💀

[@ShaneAOF]

Check out his very first band Helicon Blue

[@CalmLikeABomb76]

Please go down the Dallas Green Rabbit Hole!!! He's such an underrated singer/songwriter. Personally i discovered him last year, and it's my go to music whenever i don't know what i wanna listen to in any given moment. Do "If I Should Go Before You". I almost tear up every time i hear it - and i'm a 47 year old bloke god dammit!! :D

[@MallinsonBro]

Glad you found Dallas. Ive seen him twice as city & colour and 4 times with Alexis, hes got the most mesmorizing voice ive ever heard

[@drewnord8994]

His voice is of an angels. For sure. Glad someone caught on.

[@eli1030]

Still dreaming of a "Dallas in Chains" album.

[@toddashton9696]

Love Dallas Green. More City and Color please!

[@Moon_DK]

Please never change how you react to music

[@russelljohnson4527]

" it would be perfectly fine...but it wouldn't be THIS"- Quote of the Decade, that!

[@sunnyleatham]

So happy to see you're reacting to Dallas! Too few people know of him! He's also in Alexisonfire - Another incredible band!

[@1982evilj]

You literally made the faces and had the reaction we all felt. It is really hard to deny talent and emotion when someone is just ripping through the heartstrings. Love the channel!

[@rickywatersmusic]

I loooooove City and Colour (Dallas Green). I'm so glad someone put you onto them!

[@marianorivera1777]

Dallas Green is a fucking genious! I didnt know he covered AIC.

[@huntdog26]

You + Me is Dallas Green and Pink together. They did a cover of Sade's No Ordinary Love that you should check out.

[@norsetv8752]

It's a great cover, the pain in Layne's voice in the original is on another level tho, would be nice to see a reaction to the original.

[@Jaschu-xs9mb]

Crazy to me that soooo many sleep on this guy, Dallas Green and his band, City and Colour. Get it?...... City... Dallas. Colour...Green. lolololol :p Sadly I discovered him/them sorta late myself, I wanna say it was around 2014/15 or so, and he had originally started the band in 2005-ish with their first album called 'Sometimes'. The first time I had heard them, I was in a pretty bad spot, addicted to opiates, which I eventually was able to overcome with the help of their music. But I think back on my high school days and how much better off I would have been if I'd had such an amazing band/lyrics to listen to back in those days if I had discovered them back then. Ugh! lol. I guess he also was the clean vocalist in a metalcore band as well, way way back, like early 2000's, in Canada. They were called Alexisonfire. I've heard a handful of their songs and most definitely Dallas is the standout lol. Don't get me wrong, I dig me some metal, but yeah... Dallas Green, as always, even in his younger days, was a legitimate musical freakin genius. Again, how he isn't at the top of the charts globally is beyond me. 🤷‍♂ I definitively say that City and Colour are without a doubt among my top 3 musical artists/bands/what have you. And I'd be surprised if they ever leave that spot. Every single album is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 although I wouldn't recommend them if you aren't too keen on sadder sounding songs or lyrics. Don't ask me why, but I very very much am lol. Maybe that's why I'm so damn susceptible to fuckin my life up every now and again. I'm currently about to enter inpatient rehab for the first time ever for alcohol starting tomorrow morning. Wish me luck! But yeah, point of all this is that if you are into this kinda music and you're down for checkin out something new to listen to, without a doubt, check out City and Colour. You very VERY much will not be disappointed. Awesome vid, FVM!

[@ryanolsen13]

Also his live performances are just as beautiful.

[@mybuki9182]

I've seen city and colour 7 times. I have bring me your love tattoos. I'm so glad you reacted to my absolute favorite artist.

[@joelrunyan1608]

Dallas has the voice of an angel.

[@robdaniel3211]

I'm excited you did this as I've been requesting him for years to many vocalists.

[@pwbeagles]

This song is my absolute favorite AIC song, and this is an incredible cover. 🤗

[@lukenjanahavas]

Every time I hear City and Colour or Dallas Green I think "this man has the best voice in the entire world, what the heck" so I am very glad that you seem to agree. Severely underrated.

[@LostHate]

I watched this performance many times after the live, and it's still worth watching your analysis again it's so good.

[@timbrawdy2249]

Dallas is a vocal god

[@xavierrios3601]

The fact that he is the backup vocals for one of the greatest post hardcore bands is still amazing to me

[@MrEcarlson462]

He’s just the clean vocalist rather than “back up” vocals. Wade would be considered backups

[@Beardatron]

Seen Dallas live 3 times, twice with City and Colour and once just after his friend died where he toured with his dear friend. Every gig was an ethereal experience.

[@sp8cegh0st]

Listen to the entire album "The Love Still Held Me Near", definitely react to "meant to be" and "underground" both album and his acoustic versions. I was lucky enough to see him this past year in support of this album and what an absolute joy to see him do his thing live. I first found him when Alexisonfire randomly came on with "this could be anywhere in the world" and then randomly came across his solo project months later. This guy should be far more mainstream than he is.

[@JustinLangley-y1z]

His voice is one of the best for sure. I saw City in Colour live recently. This is very different than Alice n Chains Rain When I Die, haha. I like them both and love many different Genre's. You have your Dallas Greens and your Layne Stayley's. In fact Dallas green sang in a Heavy Canadian band before City in Colour called Alexis on Fire. Dallas will always be one of my favorite singers, and his Little Hell album got me through a very hard time in my life, and I use it whenever going through hard times.

[@westurner6529]

My first time hearing this cover and he did an awesome job. Now you need to check out the original with the haunting harmonies that I'm sure you will love as a vocal coach.

[@robdaniel3211]

Check out his cover of Hometown Glory by Adele at Royal Albert Hall. The balls to do that song in that Hall.....

[@robdaniel3211]

You will not believe it.

[@reckoninginc.]

Dude.... absolutely. He killed that...... the guy is just brilliant. Makes us mortal human singers want to hang up the 'ol gloves

[@theendistheend123]

If you listen to the original Alice in Chains song you will see how even MORE AMAZING this version is. They are SOOO different.

[@MyReallyCleverHandle]

Its always a pleasure to see you get so excited by a song!

[@lude225]

His Nutshell cover is amazing as well!

[@mattdenney1192]

i was lucky enough to see Dallas play the Sydney Opera House about 10 years ago. perfect setting for an artist as good as he is. guitar only and his hauntingly beautiful voice. dallas is definitely a rabbit hole to happily go down, specially his first 2 albums which are purely voice and acoustic guitar only. his album with Pink as You+Me is also brilliant, my wife walked down the aisle to the title track off that album at our wedding.

[@joelulfves8785]

His voice made me cry

[@Caulkhead1976]

Dallas green is a legend! Listen to rose ave. He did with pink. Amazing.

[@sch2412]

omg yes. this is such a powerful performance

[@cutchopweld5717]

Dallas is killer. I've seen him and with Alexis. Awesome vocals but Layne will never be topped on this tune!

[@alvinbutler8894]

Every time listen to this version( wich is alot) I have to close my eyes I can't help it

[@germantoenglish898]

Absolutely brilliant cover! 😃🤘

[@hkirkgearing]

Dallas is soooo good!!! I love his music...it's RIDICULOUS...so talented

[@Gobearfoot_]

I need a full Dallas in Chains album

[@HellVedaKa]

his cover of nutshell is miserably beautiful. and wait till you hear love dont live here anymore.

[@CruciaLou]

You need to do more of his stuff. ASAP

[@warren_hull]

Dallas Green is the man!

[@1c0n81]

Great human, I've toured with them. I didn't give them a shot when I was younger, but having met them and really heard their music, my son is now a fan

[@phxbadash]

I saw City and Colour live in a small venue, one of my core memories. Also he is part of a band called Alexisonfire which probably the polar opposite of this.

[@stevehagel6251]

Buried deep in those lyrics, is a fear every man has.

[@antisquishy]

I'm a simple person. Dallas Green is immediate love. Great commentary.

[@scottf885]

Love Dallas Green! Save Your Scissors is one of my favorite City and Color songs. Another great song that he sings lead on is The Grace by Never Ending White Lights. Even if you don't do a reaction to them, I highly recommend you check them out.

[@ryanolsen13]

Dallas is the smoothest. From Alexisonfire, City and Colour, to you+me with pink. He’s the best

[@onemorebrew4070]

Oh my lordy Dallas Green has THE BEST voice EVER! I’m surprised you’ve not stumbled across City and Colour before! He was also in a metal band called Alexisonfire, playing electric guitar and doing clean vocals. Have a look at his piano performance of Happiness by the Kilowatt (an Alexisonfire song) and another good one is Coming Home, perhaps City and Colours biggest hit

[@gravitraxa-team8969]

Moooorrreeeeee City and Colour! Also, Alexisonfire - he plays and sings in that band! More Lolli!! MORE!!

[@AtlasAvalon]

I was about to say "Thank you for introducing me to this artist, he sounds lovely" but then I was like "wait... this voice... sounds familiar..." and saw some comments about alexisonfire... I've been sleeping on this... Thank you for RE-introducing me to this- is what I would like to say

[@svartsjokolade]

Dallas Green is an absolute treasure! Whether it is with his own project C&C or his other band Alexisonfire it's always a good time. Have both slow danced and been bruised in a pit drenched in beer to this man's music.

[@StevenBoz]

Holy shit! Angelic.

[@Crumsie]

This guy and Alexisonfire as a whole are from very close to where I grew up. Not many good things come out of Ontario but this guy sure is one of them

[@brikrangel3952]

My favorite male singer!

[@ritchmoore1442]

Great reaction! Looking forward to seeing him this summer. 😎

[@rickywatersmusic]

I wish I could like this video more times. It slaps every time. Can I PLEASE have you analyze my voice? It would be a dream come true. You feel music the way that I do. My family looks at me like a crazy person when I cry to a song. I'm just glad I'm not alone. Just know that I really appreciate you.

[@Lancer4323]

Glad to watch unicorns with you.😊

[@Gnomojo]

Dallas green. Another Canadian boy whose absolutely killing it.

[@mattijohansen3471]

This reminds me of SYML - "The War" [Live From St. Mark's] Just a room, a singer and a microphone, and a few instruments. I really think you would love to hear this. Even if you dont react to it. I think you would enjoy it on your own time. He.. Not even sure how to describe it. Really have to hear what he does with his voice in that room with those acoustics. SYML - "The War" [Live From St. Mark's]

[@alecxstewart7577]

When you started to freak out all I could was “Yeah no that’s just Dallas” 😂 I’m glad you loved it, play around with Day Old Hate at some point, you’ll love it

[@kennethandes9170]

I know this is a vocal reaction, but, can we recognize his complete control and feel of his guitar playing? It compliments the vocals with the guitar tuning and dissonance of his chord voicings. Incredible performance.

[@af7165]

Dallas Green (City & Colour, Alexisonfire, You+Me (Duet with P!nk)) is my favorite. He did another cover of Alice in Chains - Nutshell. I recommend giving it a listen as well

[@JL_86]

Dallas Green, look him up in the early 2000's lead singer of Alexxisonfire, quite a contrast

[@pulemboweni9265]

My boy…check out all his acoustics performances. It doesn’t make any sense how good they are. Even if his first solo album.

[@nogammons]

Dallas said he learnt to sing by listening to Layne Staley. Check out the live version of Love, Hate, Love by AiC to see what Dal means.

[@apatternedhorizon]

You should do "This could be anywhere in the world" by Alexisonfire. Dallas does clean vocals in that band.

[@zeljkokovacevic2916]

great cover, I like watching alice in chaince covers :) but listen original song and singing... miss you Layne, rip ❤

[@thestog8]

Finally! Dallas Green is 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@AUmica01]

dallas has recorded an album with pink

[@builtlikebanner8838]

Dallas green is my favourite 🎉

[@jolynnjordan3401]

It has been ages since you did Dimash, so enjoyed your past reactions to our angel, have you heard Omir yet, with his brother Mansur playing the guitar, it is so beautiful. I hope you find time to do it for us Dears.

[@Rufus_McNasty]

You should check out his other band! Alexisonfire! They're song "This Could Be Anywhere In The World." is among their best!

[@BigBrownBevo]

Wow. 🤯

[@swamprabbit66]

Now do the Fishbone cover of Them Bones!!

[@arran_p]

Check the original, makes this just as special. Amazing.

[@liamsinge5160]

Try the live acoustic version of his song off his newest album "meant to be" it's a bloody gem like this one!

[@danielelwell2571]

Love your analysis. I don't know if you have looked at Breaking Benjamin, but if not, please do.

[@vaughnrobinson5933]

You have to do more Cand C. You must!

[@kevinbarnes3281]

Technically I can appreciate this, but it simply doesn't connect with me personally. But that's the great thing about music. Each to their own.

[@المطري-ه6ع]

Your choices are wonderful and your analysis is enjoyable. I am happy to listen to you. There is a singer named Fawzia. I would like you to analyze her voice and give us your opinion of her. Thank you.

[@jessiesineath7702]

Listen to Dallas's stuff with Alexisonfire if you want to hear a different range of his voice

[@mutchock1]

Now she's pregnant...with twins

[@brianoreilly3035]

Awesome 👌 , would like to have some lower end in the guitar, , nice to hear Dallas its been a while 😊

[@PrinceMaino]

this is an Alice in Chains song

[@builtlikebanner8838]

Please react to City and Colour Nutshell (Alice in Chains cover) 🤗

[@Derekcoma]

this isnt even his best vocal performance honestly dude is unreal, seen him live at Royal Albert Hall in 2011 was simply unreal

[@jem030175]

You have to hear the original to appreciate this version.

[@dpkillaqb]

Your face turned as red as your hair towards the end there lol
