This song is so amazing, nobody compares to dallas, but what does this song mean to him ? as abit of a music and dallas adict i love to know everything about songs and why they were made .
can anyone help ?
i get the fact that it mean what you want it to mean, and this song means to me realiseing that you wont sleep and maybe then you could hope for more better, but i really want to to know what it means to dallas :)
Actually I don'z know if this is really what it means to Dallas, but the lyrics are his direct thoughts, and so I think it means to him that he'd rather be conscious and actually wants to feel what he goes through (no sleeping at night etc), instead of starting to drink away his sorrow and becoming numb and dead inside because of drinking. He wants to stay strong, though it could be so much easier with alcohol.
he has troubles sleeping he has stated that numerous times in many interviews. This song is just saying that sometimes it would be easier to live like an alcoholic and use the drink to drown his sorrows and the things that keep him awake at night... hes ultimately saying his lack of sleeping and his nerves will be the death of him.
@CityOfColour if you'd like I could try to explain the lyrics? Death of me is about how dallas had a moment (and possibly still does) about drinking. That the pressures of being on tour are hard on his nerves. Mostly because its lonely.
wow...someones a dumbass...when have you EVER heard this by the cancer bats? when have the cancer bats ever SANG? ummmm i believe you, sir, are 0 for 2 on your music trivia....
What is with people getting worked up over other peoples comments? doesn't matter how stupid they are, they're still just words from a mouth. Shake it, push it, move it, grill it, IGNORE it and start living again.
The City and Colour man is brilliant and engrossed in talent. I want his babies.
To the comment that he "is" alexisonfire (I hope I'm not misinterpreting it... it seems it may have been intended to mean he is in alexisonfire). Alexisonfire is a cyclone of diferent styles spinning together -george, wade, and dallas' vocal styles are all different but important to the sound equally. They seem very balanced between their different talents and styles.
thanks to all those appriciating Dallas Green, for those thinking of writing negative comments.. I hope that deep down.. you're a sad and lonely person. x
If you didn't insist on being so ignorant, you'd actually listen to more than a few songs and discover that although some of his strumming styles sound similar, considering it IS his style, none of his songs sound exactly the same. All artists have similarities in their songs, consdering they were all written by the same person. If an artist has songs that are always near opposites, they probably don't write their songs.
Luke Pickett and Dallas should team up and make a song together, i saw dallas live at this venue, and it was amazing, the best live performer i have ever seen, his voice is actually better live, then it is on record, id put him with the greats, with pink floyd/led zep, go dallas, marry me
he just toured australia!.. this is where the video was taken,, althouhg it was a festival but hes coming back.. he has a tour in the UK in april and who knows where else?!
i was there. to be honest i hadnt heard much of him before, cause alexisonfire isnt really my thing, but that was awesome, he has one of the best voices.
ace just ace.. this dude was spot on. he was so appreciative for all our support and so he should be. he has an amazing voice and he is a awesome guy by the sounds of what i heard him say last night. LOVE alexisonfire LOVE city and colour. OH btw i have a video of him performing " day old hate" go check it out
so much love for this man.

this is one of the most musically diverse artists of our day
I mean he went from pop to folk and COMPLETELY changed sound between the 2 albums he has written...
why don't you just go back to your "diverse" music of Fall Out Boy, or possibly whatever boring "chug-cuhg" metal that you like...
honestly idc what music you like you obviously can't appriciate good music

In a way this twat's right- he does use A LOT of the same chords, as a guitarist covering his songs I've learned to realise that.
But that's okay, because he uses them differently, by picking/octaves ect.
Dallas Green is one of my favourite artists- woot Canadian artists!!
