'Body in a Box' by City and Colour on Q TV

[MrCuriousfish]

he didn't do the harmonica bit correctly but apart from that i'm satisfied.

[wyyes88]

My son died Jan 7th 2012 at the age of 19. He was a huge Dallas Green fan and had the lyrics "It's nobodys battle but your own" tattooed acrosse his chest. We played this song at his funeral and it was his "best party" that day. Some much love and respect for his life!

[NSpytimber]

@wyyes88 Thats such a beautiful story. It is beyond amazing how many of us find his music comforting in our times of pain and transition. I have worked in the medical industry and I have heard his music in my head while I have been a care taker of the sick and dying. We are hear for you.

[pLaquMusic]

"he's such a great song writer"

dallas: "oh stop it. stop it."

[Patriksundvik]

From now on, im gay..

[bradentheguitarist]

thats a beautiful old guitar

[Daniel555S]

Just wondering what was going through the minds of the people that disliked this video...

[GuizerJarlMusic]

Please please check out my cover of this :)

[rickyistheman]

Our generations' Bob Dylan.

[bella3458]

I love how he doesn't even care about the compliments people gives him. He's so completely adorable, and I will never stop loving him.

[Videoprincess23]

he is beautiful.

[AcousticFlow14]

what kin of guitar does he have in this video? martin?

[MrSeanMeldrum]

@AcousticFlow14 Yeah, that's Dallas' favourite Martin. It's from the 40's if I'm not mistaken. Gorgeous guitar.

[Aromaticduck]

I have never heard of this man until an American friend played this song yesterday... I love this...Well done Dallas

[Juliii151]

my brother died from cancer at 20 years old a month before his 21st birthday. i was on my way to the cemetery for the first time after his funeral this song started playing as soon as i got there. it was the first time i've ever heard it. thank you for making such beautiful music.

[snapcrackleKFC]

Defiantly one of his best songs. I love how he sings from his soul and heart not just the words

... if that makes sense?

[voirdire]

5 people live in Dallas and hate the color Green.

[jeshodgins]

his voice <3

[eahs07]

the glasses just make dallas that much better.

[TroggyPK]

@jaclynnnn HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA xD



[jaaclynnnn]

i wouldnt mind if he raped me.

[leekmadeek]

@jaaclynnnn wow thats fucked up

[MrCooldude9090]

this song should be on guitar hero its so trueee

[Flu0kidz]

Dallas is pure gold.

[ricciouk]

this is soo epic that god would cry if he hears this !! <3<3 love dallas

[KevinBear84]

this song to sorrowing man. HIs range is awesome.

[amc0621usmc]

truly inspirational.

[lovelylolita10]

i dont know why but this song makes me cry every time i listen to it..

[Niklstein]

which tuning has his blues harp? is it a E-harp? would make sense to me. (holes 5-6 in for B, holes 4-6 out for E, 4-6 in for a flat?)

[Bobbey3]

@Niklstein

It's a Honner Blues in A. and it's written on it at 1:53 :P

[antianime77]

i have that harmonica lol

[phenixmusic1]

alexisonfireisms lol

[schefs1]

He has some serious rapist glasses on...

[NicoHDem]

his voice completely makes me forget about the rapist glasses

[musicman509]

@NicoHDem Only someone as amazing as Dallas can make those glass look anti-rapist ;)

[amycakesoctopie]

@NicoHDem The rapist glasses suit him..

[hijklmnoport]

his voice completely makes me forget about the rapist glasses

[PhilDiffy4LIFE]

It's good to see that Canada is still producing REAL music.

[edvinemanuel]

Watch some of Jian Ghomeshis interviews and you'll see he deserves just as much of your respect :)

[RagingChalmers]

Gotta Love Dalls' Rapist Glasses

[JacktheladEngland]

Has this fella at the start got any more shit to ramble?

[inamance]

@JacktheladEngland could'nt agree with you more cottle :)

[SparkGapTV]

Could you tell me what harmonica model it is? Hohner Marine Band? and whitch key? A? thanx

[bananabong3798]

1:21 Skip to music :) vote up if you hate the beginging (the talking)

[ipodvidoe]

@bananabong3798 i love hearing about dallas

[ipodvidoe]

@bananabong3798 Pff no, I love Jian..

[inoratom]

@atrickpay11

Love don't live here anymore, the beautiful cover that dallas green did is played without a capo. Listen to it on his myspace sessions great song, no capo. Thought i'd help you play some of his music somehow. Have fun with it.

[atrickpay11]

damn, is he always using that capo?? i don't have one...hey, but just thought of something...i'll just shift the key of the song, so the it's as if the capo was at the nut...i'll see if that works ..

[snowmanfreak]

@MrPocketGroover i was just sayin and not too many people have that capo

[crazycadet2008]

"alexisonfireisms" haha

[Numericvalueofaheart]

Aha, for the people commenting on the guy doing the intro, you realize that that's HIS job, xD .. people want to know who's going to be playing the amazing music , that way they can go and look him up and listen to him again. xD Not like he doesn't want to listen to the music.

[ryanweiskopf]

the fact that he messes up a couple times throughout shows the fact that he is just like everyone else, and can make mistakes, just like all humans do, naturally. But to mess up, and still sound like complete godly sexiness, is talent. this man, is god, in human form.

[patrickdickesonsmith]

skip to 1:21 if you wanna hear music and not buddy gushing over Dallas.

[funkyfunkymonkey]

so proud to be canadian. THUMBS UP IF YOU'RE CANADAIAN. nothing wrong if you're not. :)

[patrickdickesonsmith]

@funkyfunkymonkey can't even spell CANADAIAN I'm so fuckin proud WOOO!!!

[justtocommentFTW]

he takes that exact guitar wherever he goes, its in almost all of his videos

[MLanning]

Although the ratio of Likes to Dislikes is phenomenal, I still find it hard to believe that 3 people legitimately disliked this video. Blows my mind.

[ttooiero]

@MLanning ppl like you that licks ass to get on the top for some random views blows my mind actually, and actually make me want to dislike.

[MLanning]

@ttooiero Can you repeat that comment in a manner that makes more sense? That would be great.

[seilaaaaify]

@MLanning he sings like he's taking in the ass. 

[raptorsfan92]

@seilaaaaify Then don't listen to it.

[TaNNerThEbAMf]

@seilaaaaify fuck you bitch. you obviously dont know good music. prick.

[SmashAttackOnline]

@TaNNerThEbAMf And you obviously don't have any sense of basic civility.

[musicman509]

0:47 LOL

[ChiTownStyles]

1989 Martin 00-17 guitar

[sommervilleTRS117]

@ChiTownStyles ..i want one soo bad

[stevo1153]

Epic. 

[1mindlessmusic1]

he can play this good while drunk off his ass

it's outrageous

[SythOfDeath69er]

to sound better live than when in recording, that is a talented artist, he is unbelievably amazing

[jasonroxorz]

Why was my commercial in spanish? haha. my account says where my location is right?

[theekingoftunez]

holy shit!!! i didnt know he was in alexisonfire!!!

[metalboob22]

@theekingoftunez do u know anything about alexisonfire? lol hes lead vocals and guitar (besides screams) and one of the best parts of alexisonfire and you didnt know he was in that band lol

[theekingoftunez]

@metalboob22 yea yea i know. i used to listen to alexisonfire back in middle school. just heard bout city and colour fiew days ago

[ryanweiskopf]

@metalboob22 kingoftunez? yeah right. more like peasantoftunez. hahahaha

[timothyforvendetta]

i have that shirt...

[SweetFlickTV]

great as always

but i think the myspace transmission performances were a little better :)

[theliarspromise]

You can tell he gets so into his music and he's so passionate.

[funkyfunkymonkey]

shut the fuck up radio dude. i wanna hear dallas green sing

[xXDARTYxCOVERSXx]

dallas is so funny on the live dvd



[BigDatYYC]

When is Dallas going to go on tour and rip through the prairies?

Come to Calgary, I'll be the first in line for tickets!

When was he in Edmonton - CRAP.

[donnz123456789]

@BigDatYYC

he was on tour through the summer.. unreal concert in Toronto

[BigDatYYC]

When is Dallas going to go on tour and rip through the prairies?

Come to Calgary, I'll be the first in line for tickets!

[CoCoPuffKatie]

I saw him live yesterday... he sang this song :DDD

[fallenentity2]

@CoCoPuffKatie I flew up to Edmonton from Denver just for him, and he was phenomenal. Especially Comin' Home.

[CoCoPuffKatie]

@fallenentity2 yes he was AMAZING.

[mafouger]

I think Jian Ghomeshi is probably the best thing that the CBC has going for them

[JeanFrederikHuet]

does anyone knows what guitar dallas is playing?

[kyledupont]

@JeanFrederikHuet Its discontinued I know that, It doesn't look like it would have that great of sound

[nfldman1976]

in-fuckin-sane

[MichelleCaldersMusic]

Every time that guy said 'City IN color' the look on Dallas's face was priceless, haha. I half expected him to introduce himself properly when he began to finally speak!

[samsam1704]

What guitar is that? I fucking love it

[jordandoan]

@samsam1704 martin

[YesCheckYes]

@samsam1704 its a martin 00-17 im pretty sure. obviously somewhat vintage. the modern version of that guitar is the martin 15 series. probably a 00-15 or a 000-15. I have the 000-15 and is pretty much the same size as Dallas's 00-17. hope this helps.

[fallenentity2]

@YesCheckYes It looks remarkably like my '78 Guild D50NT

[scotteful]

his voice live is so amaziinnnnggggg

[CitRusRoboT]

i want that guitar

[youxknowxyouxluvxit]

that's right, you lick that ass Gomeshi

[SmashAttackOnline]

@youxknowxyouxluvxit hahahaha...

[falloutgirlx33]

He's a God walking among men.

[1roadkill1]

I think the thing that gets him the respect of so many people is the simple fact of how quiet and polite he is, along with his singing obviously. Does anyone agree..? He never brags about his talent, he keeps himself to himself, top man.

[Jelako77]

@1roadkill1 He truly is a good man. And an amazing musician.

[HallmarkSanfransisco]

@1roadkill1 Yea its great! you can tell he really enjoys the music, and he's not in for fame

[drc17123]

i wish he would just put all his live versions on itunes, i find them so much better

[phillyfan856]

makes you think about what life is all about eh? :'(

[Omar5674]

..... Alexisonfireisms. Okay.

[SmashAttackOnline]

@Omar5674 Single play on words too difficult for you to deal with?

[Omar5674]

@SmashAttackOnline I wasn't saying Okay, like what the fuck is he saying?

I was saying Okay like, OMFG. Best word ever spoken. Ever.

[boorens18]

holy crap, during this time on Q TV he was on his best game. The harmonica was a bit offf, but his vocals were the best I've heard them. Much smoother.

[STEVO1849]

Hes not lead in alexis

[TrentNIN01]

what key is his harmonica in?

[awesomekyleg23]

@TrentNIN01 im pretty sure the song is in G, so i would assume the harmonica would be G in as well

[ffsskilla]

@TrentNIN01 The harmonica is in A played mostly on the 7 and 6 of the harmonica. you can work out the blows and draws.

[bigwrench01]

i also play harmonica, im sure the reeds are filled with spit. It's hard to get a full tone out of harmonica hole when your harmonica isnt cleaned out

[uiololamyuen]

@bigwrench01 thanks for the disgusting info... lol

[danonit0]

DALLAS GREEN!!!!

[TheOakleafShuffle]

Check out our cover of Body In A Box on our channel! Hope you dig it!

[DiscoGabe]

Dallas, Justin Vernon and Patrick Watson. Three of my favourite vocalists right now.

[snowmanfreak]

I HAVE THAT SAME CAPO

[MrPocketGroover]

@snowmanfreak wow its just a shubb, the most sold capo in the world, i'm sure many other people do to! :)

[epicfilmsunlimited]

thumbs up if u r from canada also listen to the the grace by the neverending white lights he sings

[xXxCharlesPScenexXx]

his harmonica was off but dallas is still fucking unbelieveable

[tissueboy05]

@xXxCharlesPScenexXx It's a live version... not the same as the album...

[xXxCharlesPScenexXx]

@tissueboy05 wow, thanks for pointing that out. never would have noticed that without your help.

[RobbieBarnby]

@xXxCharlesPScenexXx yeah he was hitting the 7 as well as the 6 when he drew

[ed1rko17]

@xXxCharlesPScenexXx its not that it was off its just that he gets bored of playing the same songs over and over again so hell sing or play a note different here and there.

[MrAmea]

Awesome lyrics and awesome voice as always!

[skankfaceBECCA]

i love alexisonfire and city in colour :]

So talented <3

[TheCanadianGuitarist]

@skankfaceBECCA

City *AND* Colour haha

[skankfaceBECCA]

whooppsie :]

I was probably on my ipod when i typed that XD

[sirnotty]

omfg this man is honestly on eof the most talented people music wise i have ever seen. its so hard to play like he does. so many different timings at the same time. and to play guitar and a harminica, with hammer ons and shit at the same time....omg seriously hes so good. and has the voice of a angel

[wiibasslife]

the whole things in 4/4.... idiot.

[preciouspask]

@sirnotty he is the nicest guy you can ever meet. he is gentle and humble.

[boorens18]

is his harmonica outta tune here or did he just slip up?

[Sp3ci41K]

It's just hard to play harmonica and guitar at the same time like this because you can't always get a good hold on the harmonica with your mouth in a holder like that.

[joeakapins]

His Harmonica always sounds a bit dodgey live, not sure why :(

[Jacobh0846]

@boorens18 i assure you that the song sounded exactly the way he intended it to

[Salliewacker]

its not only the guitar you people.

sure it has a AMAZING sound.

but only because a amazing musician is

playing it.

dallas green can make a kleenex box with rubber bands sound perfect.

[Buddah3131]

correction 1989 discontinued Martin 00-17

[Corslife]

hes thinking "man i wanna play shut up"

[deadheartzbeat]

That's what I'm thinking I'm like dude shut up I don't give a shit I wanna hear Dallas sing not you talk

[TheRedBullCrysis]

@Corslife LOL at 53 seconds in its along the line of "man how many times is he gonna sell me under the brand Alexisonfire" good stuff.

[PissOffco]

@Corslife

That's because for the most part, he's pretentious. Though a fantastic musician nonetheless.

[WhiteSheepwillbeBlac]

His voice is made for this song

Its perfect^^

[swifty09]

Is that a Takamine?

[benjabrazil]

I'm pretty sure that's a Martin

[plus44lover1]

its a 1910 martin

[SupremoHumberto]

wow, that's an amazing guitar

[palmbeach10s]

sorry guys. I got a little carried away, I just didn't appreciate him saying dallas looks like a nerd, he is a handsome man!

[seekuh5]

awesome performance of this song

i love 3:55

&

I want his shirt

[Ulrichism]

This is epic.

[thejackisback]

awesome intro, and then an amazingly played song.

[camos89]

HA! no need for introductions

[onlyyoumarkmywords]

i love you, you have completely changed my life dallas.

[joshuaspolar]

he reminds of Sylar from Heroes - like the way he talks

[chilidog1001]

LOL "gosh stop it" such a modest and funny guy

[rocknrollrocco91]

well lets say!:the bob dylan of the 21st century!

[duanemoody]

Dallas Green is a god of music. Amazing.

[ersatzrhetoric]

this dude trips me out. if you see just his face he looks like a nerd that should be working in an office somewhere. but then you see his sleeves and beautiful music.

[thekingzo]

whoa man, he was complimenting him, chill out for a second, read what was written

[phkit]

hmmmmm stereo typing at its best. LOL

[thejackisback]

@ersatzrhetoric hes changed a bit since he started in alexis, back in 2002 he looks more punk, but has slowly become more acoustic looking, he looks awesome though.
