City and Colour - Sleeping Sickness: Closed-Captioned

[StrattyBoiz]

Dallas Green is the man!

[lilshortyabc1234]

Ha. i actually dont remember it being on degrassi. i heard it, but id already known it. My cousin showed it to me. Shes 10. Im happy she showed me this band now:)

[bguester]

Man sick song, CBC used this for the 2009 Stanley Cup Montage... unreal. First time I have seen the video also pretty sick also reminds me a bit of The Sims video game.

[vampiress222]

heard this on degrassi.. ha love it:)

[Candeeta4u]

heard it from janes episode, prety good song

[vampiress222]

i agree:)

[Draconis97]

I'm sorry

[rajiaubi]

isn't that the place where they film degrassi?

[JKoscheck]

tell more, i have a rock hard dick now.

[igrewupawingsfan]

HEY!!! i'm american!!!!! i freaking absolutly LOVE everyone of his songs!!! from city and colour AND alexisonfire!!!! but yes..... MOST americans don't kno good music.. only what mtv tellsthem what is cool. not me!

[tubbyXnaruto]

Fuck mtv man. It's not even music television anyway. Last time i checked, REALITY SHOWS AREN'T MUSIC! Anyway, i agree, fuck our pop music and all the mainstream crap. Dallas Green makes the best music I've ever heard, hands down. Pardon the language.

[igrewupawingsfan]

AMEN MY FRIEND!!!! i stoped watching mtv YEARS ago. fuse was just awesome as what, but then they changed it into another version of mtv..... punks. and hell yes for saying NAY to mainstream!!! you're language does not offen me. i get you're point, no worries. 8)

[igrewupawingsfan]

ok... LOVE the song.... HATE degrassi.... but you contradicted yourself terracotiancreps.... youtube IS technology yo!!! but i totally get what you're saying. 8)

[chilidog1001]

ya...this song isnt the most popular on the universal music group channel cuz americans dont know good music when they hear it

[diabeticCHIC]

Ouch, dude. Be nice, just enjoy the music. Don't insult nations here.

[8vikings8]

GORD DOWNIE :D <3

[IAMCANADIANEH69]

song makes me cry

i hate my life

[Candeeta4u]

you said it.

[ilovealltimelow567]

love this song =-D

[loverboychipmunk]

Why are we arguing over a song? Seriously???

[thunderdrummer1]

Was just introduced to this song tonight.

Love it :)

[rtawte]

what the fuck

i am so confused i thought this was a music video not some fucking stupid drama show discussion shit enjoy the music,

[Joecoolio777]

I love rbrooks1992's comment, just enjoy the music!

[rbrooks1992]

Who the fuck cares.. this is dallas.... Get the fuck out lol

[mike8217]

who gives a shit?

this is a city and colour video. take this bullshit elsewhere

[Terracotiancrepes]

we're talking about degrassi... on a city and colour video.. really? Come on man, there's so much more in our world out side of tv and technology. I'm here to keep in touch and rock some tunes, not debate about 70's shows and 20's actors.. who cares, saab? live the dream and drop the hate. really..

[loverboychipmunk]

and sleepymusicaddict.....ive never seen 90210..but im pretty sure unless its a teen soap set in a high school.....its pretty uncomparable. Plus, "The-N" has limits on what they put on national television versus CBS or NBC or SoapTV or whatever channel 90210 is put on

[loverboychipmunk]

Well turnbugu its a teen drama show so of course its not going to be "high quality" to the people that dont see it. People have enough drama and theyre lives and dont wanna see it on a tv show. But those same people probably dont like to face reality and degrassi is DEFINETELY one of those shows that is completely non B.S....theyre completely honest about what goes on in teenagers lives and thats how it touches other teens(like myself) emotionally and personally

[lolcatz098]

great song. i love it, but the one downside is that Gord Downie and the City and Colour singer sound too much alike.

[turnbugu]

couldnt disagree with you more! the tone and intonation with which they sing is completely different. THey follow the same tune, thats about it. I think ANYONE could easily without question differentiate between the two...not sure what song you heard.

[mike8217]

theyve got very different voices. i picked them both out when i heard it on the radio for the first time.

and city and colour singer is dallas green.

in fact, city and colour IS dallas green

[nickypee14]

check out my city and colour cover

[sleepymusicaddict]

90210 is so much better than degrasi

beautiful song, anyway

[bambinoobby]

I watch Degrassi regularly and I was so happy to hear this song on it. Dallas Green is phenominal , and even tho it isn't quite the show I would have chosen it does have a lot af followers and any exposure is good exposure. I guaruntee they got at least 10,000 new listeners due to the show. <3

[loverboychipmunk]

Actually degrassi is one of the most watched teen drama/soaps so youre pretty outnumbered if you think its gay....and just because it includes homosexual characters doesnt mean that the show or everyone on it is gay. And thats point anyway. Its trying to cover real life teen issues and the show would be unrealistic if it didnt have gay characters....

[turnbugu]

i wouldnt say its gay, but, it certainly isnt a phenemonal or high quality show by any means. it can offer some simple mind numbing entertainment, but thats about it (though idk what else tv is capable of necessarily).

[BellaXmuerte23]

I love City and Colour. As for the music played on Degrassi, this song was played on Degrassi. Earlier, Dallas Green's band Alexisonfire was played on Degrassi too. During the episode when Spinner shaved his head for chemo they played "To a Friend"

[jackoff9ooo]

who gives a shit?

[cungy11]

i heard it on degrassi too

[haleeezybabyy]

my favorite song<33

[10rosejm]

yep heard it on degrassi... and love it.

[videolove123]

ahahah alot of us heard it on degrassi

[MusicDefinesLove3]

heard this song on degrassi.

catchy chorus, really great song.

[Nekol]

Anyone know the song from the Part 1?

Where Leah and Danny are talking.

[Waytownlilcampbell38]

Yeah, i heard this song on degrassi. I can relate what shes going through, so i figured i'd listen to it. Its a really good song:)

[UhOhItsJoJo]

you should check out the rest of his music

dallas green is truly amazing

[ChemicallyAlice]

Heard it in that ep. of Degrassi where Jane... yeah

[xrunner18]

reminds me of the sims lol

[cdplayar]

Gord Downie looks sleepy, xD

[thefisrt6667]

hes got.. SLEEPINGSICKNESS AAAA

[cdplayar]

xD  nice.

[jackoff9ooo]

cause its fucking awesome to argue!!!

[kellyknight13]

i really dont no why everyone argues on youtube. get over it and enjoy the music :)

[TheMusicluvr1996]

this song is amazing. i love all the music city and colour makes. they all have a powerful message and each one evokes emotion.

[Blad3sofWaR]

Personally this song is very good Canadian music and I'm not even from Canada, but I love the message of this song. Afraid to sleep, Having his Lungs Empty, Feeling like a Suvenior of somebody else's kill. It reminds me of the Harsh Winter I had in 2008 and how I had a case of Depression. I was scared to sleep, My Anxieties would always scare me, it felt like my world was in Black and White and I was going to die. But I overcame it and am doing better. A Insperational song this is I love it.

[hernameisadriana]

How does is it relevant weather its canadian music or not?

[wownifty]

That question doesn't make sense

[9cain]

god i love this song.

[donteatmyflesh]

For some reason this reminded me of the sims.

[MissingStrings]

neither, but he wrote it about when he goes to sleep and while hes lying down he worries about everything. its in the BitTV interview.

[sierracutiepie14]

the video ruined it but the whole time that i was listening to it i was thinking about someone<33

[beautifulXXdesasterr]

ok, this song is amazing, but i think the vid completely ruined it. oh well. amazing song:)♥

[areo25alix]

i have been listening to Dallas for a couple of years.

[omgtomas]

same, and ive loved all his material, city and colour and alexisonfire

[cyezero]

I'm not sure but for some reason, with the camera angle pointing down like that reminds me of the SIMS.

[plussign17]

Hahaha, I was just thinking the same exact thing.

[iloveeyoux22]

I love this song.

[livesforjesus07]

[Galby82]

Gord Downie, however his comment was dallas and the hip, so hes saying dallas not city and colour, and hes saying the hip instead of gord downie, you follow?

[RichardBaartman]
