City and Colour “Meant To Be” | Aussie Metal Heads Reaction

[@scottlawrenceplus]

Dallas wrote this after his good friend died while swimming in Australia: “Meant to Be” became an elegy to his dear friend and longtime producer-engineer, Karl Bareham, who drowned while the band was touring Australia in 2019.

Oh wow, thanks for this.

[@jonatanmurray2977]

Dallas voice is so clear and articulate he knows how to sign , truthful signer and song writer ,best voice of the '2000

[@lynnvb]

Gotta love City and Colour.. I've seen Dallas live a couple of times now and I think the experience is amazing. It's so different from a rock or metal concert where you jump and mosh and scream, which I also totally love. But it's beautiful to simply stand and sway and close your eyes and enjoy the music. His voice just hits different ❤

[@R4Y2k]

Saw him a few years ago in cologne and it was easily the greatest concert experience I ever had.

[@K1NGD0M]

What a rare gem, gonna give this band a listen to and add their discography to my chill playlist!

[@curto201]

Greatest Canadian voice of all time.

[@matth844]

Start back all the way at the beginning

[@toddashton9696]

Thanks for getting to this one. I Love Dallas. Great reaction. Cheers from Canada

[@felipebelmar756]

Great song! Nice reaction! I have all of his albums and listen to them on a daily basis, so amazing you did this✌🏼🙌🏼

I accidentally stepped on Dallas Green once. I was leaving a shop and he was walking by on the sidewalk, and we had a minor collision. In true Canadian fashion, both of us apologized.

[@JT-ne8du]

I’ve actually heard from my cousin, who lives in Canada, that it’s kinda well known Dallas is a bit of a dickhead. Hurt me to hear it, very reliable source though

[@BoDieselGaming]

@user-by9vr1xy7x I've lived in St. Catherines, and some of the people I've met who went to High-School with him, had said the same thing about him in his early years. But recently, reading and hearing about people who had the chance to meet him say that he's become more humble. I guess it took a few years for him to change his ways.

[@amirriddle]

​@@JT-ne8du I've heard the same, but most of those reports are always people bothering him when he is eating or like watching sports and honestly if that's the case then I don't blame him lol. But I also hear that he is very kind during concerts, meet and greets or random encounters... So yeah it's a mix lol

[@MrHydeRager]

@@JT-ne8du He's a bit gruff. I don't think he's a dickhead, though. I got to enjoy part of a concert with him and a few other guys from Alexisonfire at a festival they were playing. We shot the shit and my impression is that he's just blunt and direct. This was recent, though, so I can't speak to how he was back in the day.

[@SuzMBooth]

I love his voice.

[@newidenityguitarizt]

yeah love some city and colour.. best Live Vocals I have ever heard in a show.. and the guitar tone is always on point for me.. but its been a minute since I have listened.. I hope there is a new album soon!

[@HiroBrown]

Thank you so much for giving Dallas some light on your channel! He’s such a good vocalist and artist and still super underrated. Love your genuine reaction and fun banter 🫶🏻

[@chloestarshine]

It's such a pretty song, I used to listen to City and Colour a lot!

[@wishwellband]

I love this song!! 😍 I’ve been a huge fan of City and Colour since the start! I actually went to one of his first solo tours here in Canada!

[@alexasginsburg4361]

I love Dal!!! His voice is so buttery

[@emt0199419]

Hadn't taken the time to listen to this, thanks for sharing it. There isn't much departure from his past couple albums, but the twang, vocal layering, and the chorus walk down are great components. Having followed him his entire career and learned most of his songs, it's not his best, but the emotion is there and it's certainly a great track. Shout out to the Happiness by the Kilowatt reference!

[@Cmoore718]

He just released an acoustic version of just him playing the guitar. So much better, raw and emotional. Knowing now that he wrote the song after the loss of his close friend, it’s a lot harder to listen to.

[@MamaStyles]

Canadian Pride Yassss… Dallas is awesome

[@georgepeel]

Hell yeah! This track is mega can’t wait to see what you guys think of it

[@LetItBeSummer-1]

I love this man’s music. And he’s Canadian to boot, which I just found out today lol. My god, I’ve never heard this one, it’s a sad one From another random Canadian, cheers

[@Anika3er]

Love Dallas! The whole Album represents his Journey through the pain loosing His friend but also the Hope to Carry on. You should listen to Underground...

[@joegatto6031]

If you are in Hamilton or st cattys in Ontario Canada you see Dallas alll the time I swear I run into him a lot in those city’s

[@discoveryman59]

That beard is continued on the next person!!!! This guy can flat out SING!!!

[@Stuartjarvis]

Can't wait to see him next year

[@vladtheinhaler8940]

I have seen Alexisonfire, I want to see City and Colour as well.

[@isaacw3ston]

Late to the party here, but Dallas has put out an acoustic version of this on their KZbin channel, and I vastly prefer it to the studio version.

[@bufordmustang302]

the acoustic version is brilliant and it hits differently somehow

[@LucasGomes-rw5tv]

Great reaction as always! Could u guys react to the new try no to Headbang challenge by hardcore?

[@TheDelanooch]

Instrumentally, it gives me Mazzy Star vibes. I can definitely see putting this in a chill playlist.

[@aliyahburnette8018]

I’m getting like Harry style vibes and Johnny I like that sleep token shirt it looks sick.
