Sam Malone - City And Colour

[zackfact]

sam malone= am alone, i wonder?

[DaimonTheFallen]

@zackfact Yup. Also, its a 'Cheers' reference as well. (Hint: think of the lyrics "Where no one knows my name". The slogan to the 'Cheers' TV show is: "Where everyone knows your name". Dallas is clever. hah).

[RedRidingBlue]

I know a girl named Sam Malone. She's a bitch. -___-

[Australian22]

my lifes goal is to get a photo with him, after that my life will be complete.

[Dabigcheezeable]

Pause at 3:00, oh, Dallas. <3

[24Tyson]

Is the song title Sam Malone supposed be like a hidden message? Because if you say it, it kinda sounds like "Say I'm Alone"

[TheCDVigil]

@24Tyson No, Sam Malone is a character from the show Cheers.

[93RastafarianPikachu]

Sex on my earhole.

[ComaSweat]

My personal anthem. Forever.

[oyeboy94]

This guy is an absolutely incredible musician.

[KaarenIngle]

His voice is to awesome for my speakers :)

[colbuck]

[nickgoode17]

[Nikarta12]

Why on earth would he want to be anyone else ? Especially Jay-Z .

[jmaughan100]

Just the way he sings 'your silence' on the belt, it's amazing. I listen to this at least 10 times a day.

[roydied15]

what is this song about? i looove it but am confused about it.

[psheufelt]

@roydied15 well its referencing the show "cheers" and the main guys name is Sam malone and the theme 'its a place where everybody knows your name"

[benoz11]

@psheufelt I always read it as "sam alone" as well dunno if that's intentional.

[MyNameIsWhat118]

The only true music that still comes from the heart and that sells. How can he make both ?!?!

[TheAPON1524]

The 20 dislikes were the people sitting in the back.

[asmitho451]

[wr2809]

@asmitho451 some make of yamaha i think :)

[wr2809]

@asmitho451 its a yamaha but i dont know the model. its an electric-acoustic but its classical. hope that helps :)

[franzalexander123]

Dallas is such a sick person, man they should do a documentary on him. He seems fucking interesting

[MrMut3r]

[skwert8]

[yuri240]

I'd straight out ball my eyes out crying seeing him play live, he's beyond amazing/

[boorens18]

that part.... "And though, your silence, YOUR silence" is epic

[matony19]

What´s the name of song that Dallas is not comfortable playing live?

[laradea2]

@matony19 Missing (Serraville)

[matony19]

@laradea2 oh wow, thank you very much for such a quick answer!

[jayritch2386]

Cheers is one of my favourite tv shows and Sam Malone is a personal role model.

[therawofrain]

[Australian22]

[Mahaney82]

@therawofrain Dont do it! I did and just ended up with a hurt anus and no sign of DG anywhere.

[ColourofHearts]

I wish i can be like Dallas Green. :)

[ColourofHearts]

Nobody can dislike Dallas Green. :p haha Hes just to Amazing

[mikeknight123]

at 4:48 it cuts out a whole song - hello i'm in delaware!! theres a crappy video of it somewhere on youtube, and if you look closely just before he switches guitars his capo suddenly appears on the 4th fret! haha

[stockholme]

isn't sam malone the guy from the tv show Cheers?

[Othras]

@stockholme yes. a line in the song is a play on the theme song of the show "Where Everybody Knows Your Name"

[thewickedrobot]

@stockholme Yep. From Cheers. Haha. Love that show.

[savagehenry1234]

screw ironic, this is not about sam malone! it sounds more like the dribble diane chambers would drone on about!

[Keep0nrockin]

Does anyone have the tab for this live version?

[Aaronblowsbubbles]

It's called Sam Malone because the song for the show Cheers was "I want to go where EVERYONE knows my name". The song name is intended to be ironic.

[JMilluhh23]

2:59 was awesome. the whole thing is awesome. sounds like studio live!

[OUTOFPERSPECTIVE]

such a great guy and so inspiring never the less he's the greatest artist I've ever seen and his music changed my life.

[wearethekillersxd]

why is the song called sam malone?

[75touch]

@wearethekillersxd i heard someone say because it acutally is "say iam alone"

[mmeikle]

@pastelpinkgirly oh I know haha breaks my heart everyday!

[koeslagj8]

I want to marry him!

[cheve15]

What kind of guitar is that?

[youngaikidoka]

Gibson ES 335

[hpsfl]

@youngaikidoka No it's not.

He plays an ES 335 in Day Old Hate.

This thing is a JS something or other, I don't even know. ES-335's electric..

[youngaikidoka]

oops, i was refering to the one at the end :) haha

[orangecrunchvs65r]

Ahhhhh I love Dallas Green. Such a beautiful voice!

He's too talented!

[TheOnlyGodIsFear]

@ MisterMetadata

St. Catharines, Ontario, to be exact.

[Recovrd1]

His music is such a gift!

He is so stunning in every way.

[SeansGotAids]

Awesome song!

[CameronIsGodless]

I love this song. but is there a second guitar as well? I see the strumming and hear it, and they are off.

[RussellGallant]

Its just the video its out of sync by like a second

[fraserc270594]

Dallas was writing solo music since the age of 12-14 (not 100%) but he didn't start playing and recording as city and colour until 2004

[7hrice]

I cant stand reading all the comments, every video is some joker that thinks he knows everything about the origin of dallas and blah blah blah, just shut the fuck up and enjoy this incredible music.

[ProgMetalGuitarist]

@7hrice calm down buddy they're just having some fun, dallas green is turning into the next chuck norris just face the facts.

[bgwendler]

@7hrice don't be a tool. he's an incredible musician, but he's not a God.

[7hrice]

@bgwendler My bad tough guy, I re-read what I posted 9 fucking months ago, but still couldn't find anything more than me saying he was an incredible musician. Nice try though.

[7PlanBSkater7]

@bgwendler no ones perfect, dallas is as close as it gets.

[cheynecastillo]

@7hrice You dont know shit!

[nsG0]

@7hrice

[drewp8123]

Soooooooo Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­od

[skills1090]

is he from alexisonfire?...he went solo or wat?

[schflob]

yes he started in alexisonfire but has always made solo acoustic stuff and started playing as city and colour in 2004

[dholmes299]

I get to see this amazing man next month! I'm so glad he's coming to Orlando, FL. It's an 8 hr drive but hell I would drive to Canada to see him if I had to! He's just that awesome!

[SmoothRhythm11]

[dholmes299]

I know you got your ticket then. See you there :D!

[sestherapy9]

[7hrice]

I was there!

[MisterMetadata]

Ahah come to canada then! It's great here...if he ever stopped in Newfoundland, well hell. Everyone would be able to go, those people are so friendly its scary, give you the shirt off their back :P

[Recovrd1]

@ 3:00  FTW.....

[152588]

The intensity he shows in this song is just absolutely awesome. Along with that, about half the song his facial expressions just look like he is messing up the whole time or something? I lol'd

[Recovrd1]

"You honestly knew that just one word, would dry, up all, my tears."

I can relate so much to his music... It makes me appreciate his art so much, and his voice? Forget about it! One of the best in the world. LOVE DALLAS!!!

[smogery]

You guys are so deep and profound

[retardcock97]

Be quiet in the back..... Theres a reason why you're back there.

[kidsbikes]

aha 0.35 theres a bit of reverb action when the lower mic is acidentally on, he is like wth. One of the greatest musicians of all time, no doubt.

[RoryGrady7]

your silence....YOUUUUUUURR SILENCE!

[krixxti]

why cant i add it to my favourites??? :((

[kdubriggs]

always shows u an emotion that only the art form of music can give... perfect!!!

[pandaKeepfit]

lol at 5:50

[XxAcousticSolutionxX]

i swear i listened to "your silence" at 2:59 at least 7 times.. this guy is so powerfully and moving and exceptional and insane and just ugh dallas green

[Calviano360]

You guys should all buy this Live CD/DVD It's so awesome

[LozLivesOn]

i'm going to this week! :D Which one is it???

[DavidGodd]

yay..

[MicrophoneNation]

I accidentally gave this a poor rating, it's totally five stars worth. Live is my favorite version of this song.

[turca7070]

at 3:00 OMG made me cum no homo

[Jarrett711]

for sure!

[DisconnectedBeauty]

every note every vocal sound is just pure bliss, makes me feel in utter utter awe of how much of a genius dallas is at how he can make such feelings feel so beautiful (sighs)

[Jeffchio5]

incredible tonality and just powerful vocals...amazing

[khrulz09]

... i wish he had played this song naked :s

[bizrgtr]

this guys has helped me in soooo many ways.

his words and his beautiful guitar playing has brought me through so much shit in my life.

much love to dallas green.

[lunarx11]

man he's incredible. His vocals sound like a few people all singing in harmony

[xxScumbellinaxx]

My ears just fainted :)

[AintheUK]

what does the person say when he says "settle down the language there kids"

[ekk2a]

im pretty sure the lady said "he's banging beyonce"

[SoFuckingYesterday]

Has lyrics from Alexisonfire - Where No-one Knows?

Beautiful. [=P

[blakehull]

Yeah! Dallas has always thought "hey, why not use lyrics from City and Colour, I mean, they're my lyrics!" so that's what he does. It brings the softer parts to an even higher emotional level during Alexis songs.

[VulturesOfPopCulture]

where do you think the lyrics from that song came from :P

Early version on this song.

[findyourway19]

the first version of this song was called "Where no one knows." Same words but much faster paced.... I like it alot cuz its more dramatic... CHeck it out.... Just search "Sam malone (fast version) on here and its posted.

[xTakumEx]

It basically is Where no one knows, changed a bit. Im very glad when he remade Happiness by the kilowatt he kept it the same.

[abcdefgeorgia]

im in love.

[ToinoeCompanhia]

what guitar and strings are those? awesome sound ?

[Robbye23]

im pretty sure dallas can sing any chick he wanted to, into bed...he probably seduces himself when he masterbates

[lulukawaiii]

hahahah. so true..

[Saiyan66]

hahahah true dat

[matony19]

oh lol. Wicked xD

[lalva1]

@Robbye23 probably one of the funniest things ive read on youtube.

[kylieBBQ]

@Robbye23 hahahahaha. probably. he definitely seduces me when I masterbate.

...

hahaha.

[autigers115]

a lot of his news tuff is either standard capo, but a lot of his older stuff like hello and caseys song are open.

[guitarguy182182182]

all of his chords that he uses sound strange, in an awesome way, same vibe as alexis just calmer....does he use open tunings or something?

[ashl3ydak0ta]

Oh my god i love him so much.

[BriskAxe]

He almost reminds me of Keith Buckley in this video. ...His appearance.

[DeathByBoomstick]

i agree

[MLS2121]

Haha thats really funny Cuz Every Time I Die and Alexisonfire/City And Colour are like best friends.

Dallas helped them in the song INRIhab.

Dallas Green-GREATEST SINGER EVER!

[kwebber9]

He really does sound like the guy from AOF!! Looks like him too? That's weird. I bet they even know each other!!..I think they;re even from the same town?!? Canada is weird eh?

[VertigoSqueal90]

Alexisonfire? is that what you mean by AOF ? lol because if it is - then, it IS the same guy lol.  Dallas Green played in Alexisonfire before City and Color - and now he's getting back with Alexis for another cd :) but if thats not what you meant then sorry lol.

[TomAndRichardOHansen]

to correct you, he never left alexisonfire, and city and colour was way before alexisonfire, dallas green released an EP during his high school years to raise funds for a teacher that had passed away.

the songs off his album "Sometimes" was a rerecording of his high school ep, with a couple new songs.

[VertigoSqueal90]

Well, actually he did leave Alexisonfire - on a temporary leave, to travel and do city and color songs in different cities. The first copy of his EP called "Missing" was in tribute to Ralph Serravalle in January 2005, also with an EP "the death of me" - Alexisonfire's demo/first album was called "Math Sheet Demo's" released in 2002.. and their self titled album "Alexisonfire" in the same year, followed by "Watch out!" in 2004.. City and Color didnt come out before Alexisonfire.

[TomAndRichardOHansen]

smells like wiki copy/paste

[VertigoSqueal90]

Then why even try and tell me lies? lol.. honestly man. Its the internet.. look up your facts and info, before you start tellin people shit you dont know.
