City of Dreams - Artists For Tennessee Flood Relief by Victoria Banks

[102bLiNux]

Thailand is getting flood so this song is very depressed me T_T

[kyleeann15]

CHORDS?!



[angieeexox]

I got the chance to meet Victoria Banks, the writer of this song <3 she's an amazing woman.

[sewe3007]

I would like to care, but i don't. In 2010 there were floods in Pakistan where over 2000 people died, and over 20 million people was affected by it. I didn't hear any song about that.

[acountrysdream1]

I'm freaking crying right now. Anyway a 19 year old highschool student can help. Just say the word and I will.

[somegalfromcan]

I am wondering why this song never got released to radio???

[victoriabanks1]

@somegalfromcan It was released to country radio across Canada and the USA with all royalty proceeds benefitting the flood relief cause. However, it was up to each individual station whether they played it or not and although some were fully supportive, some didn't think the song was relevant to their audiences and never played it.

[somegalfromcan]

@victoriabanks1 Thanks for the response Victoria - I guess, unfortunately, that the station I listen to (the only country station in the area) falls into the latter category.

[davedandell]

Beautiful song Victoria, way to go!!! Hope everything in Nasville is getting back to normal. To all the people in Nashville who lost something, God be with you; the world needs your talent and dedication of your artists!!

[Steaditwo]

@aamy45 Sorry about that. My timer was off. At 2:00 it is Jesse Lee with Michelle Wright.

[BrittanyHargestFan4]

this song is just purely beautiful i wish carrie underwood would've left her mark on this song! it woldve made it that much more prettier

[jeffdavis13]

@BrittanyHargestFan4 I know you didn't mean to offend anyone and I also love Carrie Underwood, but this collection of artists involved in this project did as

great a job as anyone could possibly have ever done. I would do nothing to change that.

[BrittanyHargestFan4]

@jeffdavis13 i agree i didnt mean to offend anyone i mean i got nothing on the artists who have contributed to this but carrie herself is really good!

[jeffdavis13]

@BrittanyHargestFan4

Ya I love her too. She's got a great voice and sings with such compassion and honesty. I work with a guy who sang on this project . To me it's another example of what is a huge part of Nashville and huge part of country music which is never talked about but should be. Country music is not just a style of music, it's also a lifestyle that includes a need to help others. Country music is music of the heart.

Look at the effect Victoria Banks song has on all of us.

[Steaditwo]

@februaryraine10 The lyrics are on the City of Dreams website at: cityofdreamsnashville.

[februaryraine10]

i want the damn lyrics and i cant find them anywhere!

[Bunit1621]

I love songs like this

[trentonontarioman]

Amazing song....Great work.

[ionamic]

Congratulations Victoria. No wonder Music Row Magazine said you are one the best songwriters. As former resident of Nashville you brought made me cry with your creativity. Canada is proud of you!

[Steaditwo]

The 'City of Dreams' single is now available for download from iTunes. All proceeds go to the American Red Cross to aid in the Tennessee flood relief efforts.

[yeehaadakota]

Awesome performance!

[LouisianaCowgirl2010]

It's sad 'cause it's so true; Nashville truly is a city of dreams...

[marienanette3]

I admire u all!!

[am60mo]

Victoria thank you sooooo very much. You are a cherished transplanted member of the Tennessee family. Your gift to us through this song is one that can't be repaid in words, deeds or and certainly not money. Thank you from the bottom of my Tennessee heart...

[victoriabanks1]

The download has been submitted to itunes but it takes several weeks for them to set it up. In the meantime, you can download it through CDBaby (the link is provided on the "City of Dreams" website listed underneath the video above).

[sasspat93]

I TUNES PLEASE !!

[songsponge]

Amazing - Just amazing! Great job by everyone concerned. Especially @victoriabanks1.

[nashville2]

Can't watch this without crying.

[am60mo]

OUTSTANDING!!! Thanks to all, especially Victoria. What a beautiful sentiment.

[Steaditwo]

[TheMichellewrightfan]

Yea Michelle Wright you rock :)

[RockBandRelief]

FANTASTIC. What an incredible team effort.

[jeffdavis13]

I encourage all of us to make sure that others are also aware of the generosity that

Nashville has shown, by adding a link to this video from your web site(s) and / or attaching to your e-mails.

[LORENZZO1983LORENZZO]

R.I.P. for the VICTIMS ...from ROMANIA !!!

[somegalfromcan]

Beautiful to see the artists from two nations coming together on this project. We share a border and what happens on one side of the line can profoundly affect people on both sides.

[nashville2]

God bless the people of our wonderful city. I'm glad I live here, now more than ever. Let Nashville be an example to the country and the world of charity and goodwill in action.

[zeus9002]

This is fantastic, it's a thing of beauty to see people uniited for a noble cause. That's what humanity is all about, let's remember this video and keep it in mind. Well done, everyone, very well done indeed.

[electricken01]

Absolutely Perfect. What a wonderful committment from all of the musicians, songwriters, production folks and everyone else involved who put this together for such a worthwhile cause. I'll be donating today and some!!

[StudWeldFast]

Wow. That was absolutely beautiful. The song couldn't have been better. Fantastic job to the producers/songwriters/artists.

[ryleemadison]

Incredible job, wonderful song. Bravo to all who participated and to Victoria for having the vision and writing the beautiful song. Bravo!

[SBKvideochannel]

TRULY beautiful!!!

[Steaditwo]

The 'participants; page on the 'City of Dreams' website has a complete list of credits. Thank you - JC

[fanofgauts]

Does anyone know who all the artists are that are in this video? Awesome song!

[jeffdavis13]

@fanofgauts There's a complete list of artists at the end of the video. From what I can recognize, Victoria Banks who wrote and produced the video is featured at the beginning, Buddy Jewell (who is legendary in Nashville for work with charitable causes) first appears at 1:00 and Pam Tillis at 1:46. The reference to artists from two nations coming together is because: Victoria Banks, Lisa Brokop and Michelle Wright are from Canada. Great tune.

[livenashville]

@jeffdavis13 Victoria Banks wrote and produced the song, however, NFOCUS FILMS actually produced the video. Julian Chojnacki directed and shot it.

Great job!

[jeffdavis13]

@livenashville You're right and certainly should be mentioned. Thanks

[xxxtexanpa]

Beautiful tribute by some of the best musicians in Nashville. Thanks to all of you and it was really nice to see Pam Tillis and Jordyn Shellhart right there on the front. I couldn't help but notice they were particularly beautiful in this shoot. Of course all of them were! My sincere thanks for all who participated in this humanitarian effort, the world and especially Nashville is a better place because of you! -Jimmy

[Nashvillebabs]

I hope that when people who aren't from Nashville hear this song, they understand that every word of the song is true. It's hard to explain how caring and supportive and full of heart this community is without it sounding like a bunch of hype. But the spirit that is so beautifully captured in this song is totally genuine. Thanks to all of you who made this happen.

[scottanderson123]

Great song! Jordyn is awesome! God bless Nashville!!!

[nvanreece]

We Are Nashville, indeed 

[colotrumpet]

Beautiful song Victoria!! 

[Dixie2521]

So beautiful! I am in love with this song! Everyone did an amazing job!

[leebobjohnson]

Wow, nice work everyone!

[country209cutie]

[Biancafan22]

Jordyn Shellhart = <3

[lutr3z]

[MeganChristine13]

[AnnakinBurke]

[MrMuziekfan]

Beautiful song, great performance, my compliment !!!

Thank you for share, Jordyn and Arno

[billywest56]

This is AWESOME!

[greatsky2]

Love the lyrics, music and video - beautiful. Trusting that this video will make an impact for all those effected in Nashville.

[StrongArmGuy]

Only people who know Nashville and have been and lived there will understand the magnanimous impact of this flood.

[acjzr1]

I'm looking for the right words to describe this amazing performance.

I was completely speechless and hypnotized by the song and the way is was sung.

The song is better and more honest than great hits like "We are the world" or " Do they know it's Christmas". It's a fantastic mix of great voices singing beautiful lyrics. And great musicians playing a fantastic melody. All with true emotions...

This performance shows you don't need famous artists for a song like this.

You need people who care!

[Morguefood]

@acjzr1

Damn man!

What a way with words you have!

The song is absolutely fantastic!

A thousand thumbs up for You!

[katiedidz1980]

Just Beautiful!!

[VallieRojas]

Michael,I am so proud of you and all of the songwriters,singers, and production of this project.This has touched me so much.I am sure anyone who watches this will be moved for our great city and state of Tennessee and will help all who was affected by this tragedy we have suffered. Vallie Rojas

[TheBayney]

Beautiful performance and photos!

[Vickyefisher]

this is INCREDIBLE. Knew they'd do a charity single, but didn't know it would be this good :D

[alylaw42]

this is beautiful.

[mystery2k8]

Wow! Great job by everyone involved. I knew it was a special song the first time I heard Victoria's acoustic version.
