City and Colour - Boiled Frogs *NOW AVAILABLE ON ITUNES*

[Aznarrac23]

Does he play any other Alexisonfire songs like this. This is Amazing!

[benny89sandoval]

@Aznarrac23 yes he does a version of happiness by the kilowatt



[PFieroGT87]

@Aznarrac23 Him and Wade did a fantastic cover of The Northern together. He's got a few others as well.

[KissGamer]

dallas is the king of crazy guitar chords

[SirNealio]

@KissGamer chords is drop d are simple.

[fiskerzinho]

This song make me think about my life, and in the end i cry. Always the same thing. I'm a really fan of Alexisonfire and i prefer the alex's version of the music. But Boiled Frogs acoustic is really amazing. Waiting for Dallas or all the Alexisonfire at Brazil forever.

[MrSpinTrick]

@fiskerzinho Alexisonfire is dead bro keep waiting XD

rip

[ToWoM]

it's the Canadian beard.

[XDantesHeavenX]

this is pretty good, nothing can beat the original though.. alexisonfire can never be covered well..

dallas is a fucking boss though

[dundeenorton]

@XDantesHeavenX you do know dallace was in alexisonfire right? lol

[XDantesHeavenX]

@dundeenorton yes i do he played guitar and sang, but this song can not be covered well in an acoustic, version because the original was just too good and there were two other vocalists, (George and wade) which, with dallace, was what made it so good

[benmoser11]

he's the reason i started spelling it colour instead of color

[leftoverlime]

@benmoser11

I've always spelt it colour. Ah, the joys of American and British English.

[benmoser11]

@leftoverlime lol yeah. i've never known that's how it's supposed to be spelled. america is just stupid. lol

[Nonfatproduct]

I didn't think I could Like this version more than the original, but it just happened <3

[Viriaki]

City (Dallas) and Colour (Green). :)

[steaIthypancake]

the cars driving past have no idea what their missing out on...

[RitchieXD]

what guitar is he playing

[guitxmaster11]

@RitchieXD its his 1989 vintage Martin 0017. it is beautiful.

[jennygump311]

Dallas YOU are AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. Great Job! HEY EVERYONE :) CHECK OUT MY ORIGINAL PIANO COVER OF THIS SONG ON MY CHANNEL (jennygump311) Leave me some comments and please subscribe! xoxo Happy New Years and love your way -Jenny

[NBFRabbitKaboo]

Thumbs up if you have a man crush one Dallas :D!!!

[BathroomBouncer]

For all you toolboxes out there that think otherwise, this song was written by Alexisonfire's lead singer, George Pettit

[inuyashafangirl88]

@BathroomBouncer

I would assume that is why it says "rendition" in the description. Doesn't change the fact that Dallas is amazing. <3

[PFieroGT87]

Just saw him in Boston last night. The best show I've ever been to. My only disappointment? I didn't get his phone number :(

[Jmhouseman3]

By far the best song

[WillPwnForFood1]

Dallas green keeps his capo postioned exactly the same on the top of his guitar like I do. Now if only I could sing as good as him. Baby steps, baby steps.

[Enuiofmoonglade]

im sure i was wearing clothes at the start of this video... oh well

[HulloKat]

@Enuiofmoonglade haha I wish I could like this comment a million times :)

[xJROMER0x]

Best song ever.

[shahreezali]

why is he of such perfection?



[Lnortonantivirus]

People in passing cars are like "Whats happening in there"...THEY HAVE NO IDEA A DEMI GOD IS SINGING!!!

[TheOscar2222]

old times......

[PoisenIvy69]

I'd probably have sex with him

[EargasmLover]

@PoisenIvy69 same and im a straight guy !

[TehFailJoo]

Could dallas do Rough Hands acoustic?

plz?

i beg?

[Phillip8144]

i wonder what it would sound like if dallas plays baby

[SuperMrONeill]

A song like Boiled Frogs doesn't sound like a good song to cover acoustically on paper. But my God, Dallas kicked some major ass.

[brendan714]

WOW what a fantastic cover!

[TheMommy963]

If you actully dislike any of Dallas Greens songs, or Alexisonfire songs... i'm telling you right now YOU have no soul... Kay Thanks Bye

[jamescarl88]

theres no 'umpf' feels very flat! his alexisonfire version is much better!

[Stopdropburn]

Wow, I never imagined what this song would be like acoustic...but it's just great.

[Phillip8144]

I listen to this every morning ^_^

[4thebonghits]

Ha.. he looks so haggard ass tired.

[iWuMbO1998]

OMG MY OVARIES  !!

[ABCdoctorefy]

Dallas help me see beauty in life,

Beauty is in every little things

[Rawbex]

Rest in peace Alexisonfire :( <3.

[JaProductionz59]

good song

[Ecklas]

people crossing the back have no idea what they´re missing!!!

[citylightslikerain37]

anyone know these chords? pleeeeease let me know if you do, it would be extremely helpful. (:

[ShaKieran06]

@citylightslikerain37 Think Ultimate guitar had some last time i checked :)

[citylightslikerain37]

@ShaKieran06

thank you so much. (: 

[vinivodka1]

I hear this song every day of my life, calms me, is divine

[MrTGMM]

haters, look at the date: he was still in AOF when this was taped. chill out. don't think the other guys will hold back from playing music dallas helped create either. It's his, and theirs. just enjoy the talent and relax!

[DeakonBlue1993]

going to see these babe. xx i love you. xx now look up and give me a kissssss....... xxxx

[HashiiChan]

king.

[MardyBum100291]

Camera is in such awe of Dallas that it can't get into focus.

[moty0303]

I'm sorry, but it's not the same. Alexisonfire should have never broke up. For those who've been listening to Alexisonfire for such a long time... Counterparts and number them? Dallas made a decision. Sadly, I dont agree with their split up and I would rather have Alexisonfire then City and Colour, but that's my opinion

[simonsays1092]

I hope people know that this song is from AoF and that they broke up because of him

[IamDayoldHate1]

@simonsays1092 So fucking what? AoF lost its edge after Young Cardinals. Why would Dallas want the band he nurtured for many years to turn into something as monotonous as Nickleback. Besides, throwing the blame completely on him is wrong. Wade was leaving the band too.

[Clarkjr33]

@IamDayoldHate1 Totally agree. Dog's Blood was kind of a joke and you could tell that Dallas was not into it anymore. They put out great albums that I will continue to listen to, but I also love City and Colour so it doesn't bother me too much.

[Ndallaco]

Funny, this is alexisonfires song. Not City and Colour. He better NEVER play this live.

[IamDayoldHate1]

@Ndallaco He does play it live, and why not? he helped write it. AoF broke up, get over it.

[steviewonder74CEA]

@Ndallaco Dude, c'mon. He wrote it...

[codxvmasta]

@steviewonder74CEA No.. Alexisonfire writes EVERY song completely together. So actually Alexisonfire wrote this, they're one of the few bands who do it completely together. If anything now that Dallas is out, Alexisonfire has more rights to this song then him.

[btguinn]

@Ndallaco So, when The Beatles broke up, was John Lennon not allowed to play any of their songs live? Get over your fucking self. Bands break up. People go in different places. The world moves the fuck on. As guitarist, pianist, and primary singer--singing, screaming, two different talents--he's honestly mostly responsible for what most people consider Alexisonfire's "sound", and has every right to play a song he helped write.

[Ndallaco]

@btguinn

dosent change the point that dallas is an asshole.

[joshzirkle]

@Ndallaco How is Dallas an asshole? He's seriously one of the most calm and nice people I've ever met.

[citylightslikerain37]

shivers.

[wowthatsbs]

i named my son dallas after dallas green...best ever

[steaIthypancake]

people in the cars driving past have no idea what their missing out on

[ElijahGallegos]

Someone asked me to tab this song for them. I laughed for three hours and punched them in the face

[Vi2009]

AWESOME! Love this/your sound :D you have a new fan from a musician who is a youtube partner and growing in the UK!

There's some really interesting covers on my page too with crazy HD videos :) Would appreciate you checking it out if you get a chance, promise you'll like it!

[CrankDatax3]

His voice *___*

[steaIthypancake]

beautifullllll

[littlewahoo27]

Under Dallas Green's beard lies not a chin, but extra space for his voice to resonate those beautiful tones.

[ShockwavesFTW]

@littlewahoo27 or it's just a chin -__-

[littlewahoo27]

@ShockwavesFTW dont be a stubborn ass

[ShockwavesFTW]

@littlewahoo27 remember, he's only a human being. chuck norris-esque jokes don't work that well. even though his singing is fucking amazing.

[littlewahoo27]

@ShockwavesFTW or is he?

[ShockwavesFTW]

@littlewahoo27 touche.

[TrobinT]

This is odd...My nipples randomly got hard O.O

[wutconnur]

@TrobinT I don't get it. What part of that is odd?

[xoxoEvilAngelxoxo]

@TrobinT No..this is weird..my penis got hard.. Im a girl. 0.0

[TrobinT]

@xoxoEvilAngelxoxo That's hot!

[xoxoEvilAngelxoxo]

@TrobinT Im glad you think so ! ;p LOL.

[Mannertheman]

even Friday would be a good song with Dallas singing it

[MrJamiecomeau]

@Mannertheman that my brother, is top comment material .

[leftoverlime]

@Mannertheman

It's Friday night, and Im writing this song

don't know if it's good, but it doesn't feel wrong

the names dallas green, yes the city and colour

took awhile but it seemed witty and fuller

It's frida...a...ay ay yeah..."

I do love his music though, seeing him in febuary, pretty stoked!

[systemofalance]

i agree that dallas is only 1 part of alexisonfire - the band has tons of energy and presence and dallas is a little more mellow. but personally i wouldn't ever have listened to them if he wasn't their lead singer. it's his voice that truly makes that band unique and sets them apart from the crowd. their screaming and the rest of their music are no where near the caliber of his voice, or for that matter no where near most of the bands in their genre. but again, thats just my opinion..

[myloveomusic1]

I don't know whether to be heartbroken that Alexis split or happy because Dallas can write more songs for City and Colour now..

[colliershepherd]

Were 17 people upside down when that clicked like? : )

[bswaggzzzz]

I really like the meaning behind this song. And it's like 100x better acoustic. It sounds a lot more meaningful.

[888silk]

I agree he is just 1/5th of alexis. The other 4 band members are no sloutches! Just have to see them live to figure that one out!

[hybridharris]

Goosebumps...

[P3Gaming]

holy fuck his voice is like diving headfirst into a pool filled with soft ass feathers... at least, thats what I feel

[TheBlizzard90210]

The cars driving by don't know what they are missing

[niluGuitar]

his voice is just so calming...

[ZombieManiacx]

16 people like their frogs fried

[R1U2M3O4R5E6]

where can i find this song on itunes?

[cloudsinmyise]

I could be falling in love.....with boiled frogs , yeah I know frog legs should only be fried, I am making an exception in this case >lol

[xxXKUNSTistALLESXxx]

hi im an artist an this song inspired me.

watch my video and visit my website :)

my video you can find if you search : "kunst ist alles "in youtube or "Dallas Green Happiness by the Kilowatt... Kunst ist alles!... "

i wait for you

thx :**

lots of love :**

[LeviBenton1]

man he doesnt even worry about his hair and no ones says nothing to him about it and i walk with my curly fluffy hair in the streets and everyone complains about it not being combed but anyways love the song

[R1U2M3O4R5E6]

@LeviBenton1 people call me a jew boy because i have curly hair :S im not jewish...

[LeviBenton1]

@R1U2M3O4R5E6 well let them say that because we can say were jesus hes a jew and he has curly hair and my friend calls me jew all the time

[ErlishaSimone]

i love this song. great rainy day song. then again all of dallas green's songs are amazinge

[foryourlugsonly]

who cares who's better man, whats great for some isn't for others. I love both man, Without one there wouldn't be another. At the minute i prefer to listen to City and Colour because Im playing a shit load of acoustic. It would be better if you all stopped cyber bitching and just enjoyed the fuckin music though

[okonomiyakiification]

His voice heals me:)

[TheMG1MG2]

absolutely love this

[ZakIsWin]

I agree with Lewjamesjewell; Dallas is an incredible musician but Alexisonfire is the combination of a group of incredible musicians, it's just that dallas is the most recognised because what he does is the lead part of the music. 

[D4L7]

Doesn't hold the same power for me as the alexisonfire version. May just be me.

[junkydrummer]

His voice is really something else



[ScanBrun]

I love alexis, i love dallas, this is perfection!

[ParadoxQeet]

I love people who write that they don't listen to pop music, since this in general is a pop version of the song. And why the fuck does everyone think that Dallas Green is one of few musicians in the world that "actually can play real music and write real lyrics"? He's really good alright, and I find him incredibly talented, but there are also MANY equaly skilled and talented musicians out there. People need to step out of their retarded bubble and stop discussing this shit. Enjoy the music.

[MyRedTricycle]

its buging the shit out of me that the camera isnt focus

[MashedUpMagic]

@MyRedTricycle yeah same ! its why i just switch tabs when im listening to this lol

[benmoser11]

@lJapl amir is funny as hell and his talent is acting. not everyone is a musician bro. im not mad, im just saying you thinking amir isn't talented is an opinion. they write their own scripts, you know

[benmoser11]

he looks like amir from the videos "Jake and Amir" :D

[MegaCookiesCream]

Excuse me but I am genuinly courious how one could dislike this song?

[NiallNitrogen]

dallas has such a soothing voice <3 :')

[topnotchawesome]

Alexisonfire IS alexisonfire. City and Colour has it's own flavour and it works. Alexisonfire is a band effort, you can tell they run with the best ideas they as a group have.

I for one am beyond happy that there is TWO amazing projects.

[KJE119]

I wonder if any of those cars passing by had any idea of what was going on it that room. I'm guessing they didn't as i'm sure as hell they wouldn't be passing.

[MerryChristmas1998]

Dallas you must do more acoustic versions of alexisonfire songss! <3

[HeadsAreRolling]

I love you Dallas! You are one of the greatest musicians ever!

You won't read this, but i'm sure you can hear it with how loudly i'm screaming. :)

<3

[mourge101]

16 people are still swinging their axes...

[TateTheGreat9]

How can anyone dislike this video? The only downside is that Dallas isn't shirtless

[TheUnseenGuitarist]

If you get a chance then check my version out please :-)

Feedback appreciated!!!

[thenoodleguy]

makes me disapointed at the world when lady gaga and other talentless artists have adds right besides songs like this =P

[MegaCookiesCream]

@thenoodleguy I don't think that's quite fair to say.

[thenoodleguy]

@MegaCookiesCream how so?

[MegaCookiesCream]

@thenoodleguy Those artists are talented otherwise they wouldn't be in the music industry. Dalas Green is not "mainstream" but that's kind of why he's so specialto his fans. So yeah, that's how (:

[thenoodleguy]

@MegaCookiesCream so you're saying Justin Bieber is talented? any 12 year old can sing like that if he/she really wanted to, i see your point but what I'm trying to say is that it doesn't take much talent to be a pop artist, when people say talented i think of buckethead or muhammed suicmez. =P

[MegaCookiesCream]

@thenoodleguy Well, yes. Justin Beiber is talented. Once again. They don't let any one into the music industry. Not any 12 year ol could sing like that... Plus who's "Buckethead" or "Muhammed Suicmez"? >_>

You do need talent to have a couriear as a musician. Why has JB been bought into this (I'm not a Beiber crazy fan, just so you know, I'm just sick of the hate =.=)

[1994McLeod]

@MegaCookiesCream cause they knew they could make lots of money form girls

[MegaCookiesCream]

@1994McLeod

>_>

Huh?

[thenoodleguy]

@MegaCookiesCream how the fuck do you not know who buckethead is? i can understand muhammed suicmez but dude really? buckethead is pretty damn huge, go have a listen to soothsayer by buckethead you will not be disapointed, its one thing to pick up a guitar strum 4 chords and sing along to lyrics that have no meaning that someone else wrote, but to actually be able to play guitar is totally different, really listen to the guitar in that song though. =P if you saw music like i did youd understand.

[MegaCookiesCream]

@thenoodleguy

Technically, you cannot see music... And music is pretty special to me, what do you mean "if you saw music like i did"? ;P

[thenoodleguy]

@MegaCookiesCream I don't listen to shitty pop music, I listen to talented musicians that worked for what they have and didnt just enter a stupid radio contest that got them famous. I like Dallas because his lyrics actually mean something and they're not some random shit someone else wrote for him. People think that I'm an emo kid cus I listen to metal but really I listen to metal for the guitar parts, people say it's easy to go up to a mic and scream but that's not what they do they inhale and

[MegaCookiesCream]

@thenoodleguy

I don't listen to "shtty pop music".

I don't addd new songs to my iPod every week, only when I find music I like >_>

I don't care much for "mainstream" or "the latest whatever", I only care for the music I like :|

[thenoodleguy]

@MegaCookiesCream im serious about that buckethead song go listen to it =P

[MegaCookiesCream]

@thenoodleguy

Mmmmmmmm

Maybe... :P

[thenoodleguy]

@MegaCookiesCream DO IT! :3

[justger]

@thenoodleguy there's nothig shitty about pop, the beatles are the most popular band ever and are the essence of pop music, a lot of bob dillons music could be classified as pop, a lot of Muse's music is definitely pop, right now radiohead are the most listened to band on the planet (according to lastfm.com) so they're certainly "pop" in some regards. Arctic monkeys = pop band. A lot of metallicas recet efforts = pop to some extent. What you mean to say is that you dont listen to chart music.

[justger]

@thenoodleguy please? buckethead? if you're going to name drop guitarists at least be more refined, he's certainly a "pop" soloist :P

[thenoodleguy]

@justger are you fucking high dude find anyone who can play guitar like buckethead... and be as original as him, he invented his own 8 finger tapping find anyone that can do that like that and by pop music i dont mean the beatles, i mean shitty justin bieber and shit you find in the radio, the beatles where fucking inspirational and pop music used to be good until it got turned to shit... and bro heres some more, muhammed suicmez, tosin abasi, luke hoskin, Ryan Knight all really inspiring to me

[muzikscud23]

There is something so significant about the window in the back; the cars passing. They all one by one pass not knowing beauty is round the corner in the form of this song and that beauty can be missed so easily

[amosepe]

i love and this man,i hate him because he is so good...and i love him because he is so good.

[koolkidz123]

He should do ROUGH HANDS acoustic.

[Markson211]

idk what id do without city in colour in my life amazing!!!!!!. drop by my page anyone :) i have some songs that kinda sound similar kinda lol :) :)

[kyraasann]

16 people are sleeping alone tonight.

[pexex90]

Not doing it for me

[lewisjamesjewell]

To all you that say Dallas makes alexisonfire, he may be the most talented of the lot, but in concert, he has the smallest stage presence ever. I love this man, but don't insult the rest of alexisonfire, they deserve to be equally recognised.

[jessicafunnelscott]

@lewisjamesjewell well said i 100% agree

[NHKrisko]

@lewisjamesjewell Yeah but take a band that has amazing stage presence and no singing or musical talent. They suck. I would rather watch this.

[TattooCulture]

@lewisjamesjewell I completely agree. everyone runs around but him. he kinda does his own thing lol

[xclairityx]

@lewisjamesjewell It's because he's concentrating on being so awesome.

[HelpfulHippie]

@lewisjamesjewell To be fair, all of the members of Alexis are just are talented as each other.

In my eyes the drummer is just outstanding, Dallas is really only classed as the talented one as his side project has hit such high prestige.

Still this doesn't stop me loving everything he has done solo or any of the albums Alexisonfire have done.

[Cannabliss92]

@lewisjamesjewell Whoa, don't forget the drummer from alexisonfire dude

[Canuck33Goalie]

@lewisjamesjewell it's because hes used to standing playing guitar with city and colour

[bawilgibob]

@lewisjamesjewell Disregard band mambers, obtain currency

[lucasvicentini777]

Beautiful voice

[Abercrombie267]

im inlove with this song all over again

[MelanieAlchemy]

I love both versions of this song <3

[cainie2444doos]

@GrimClosure Alexis kill it in their own right as a whole, dallas is just a piece.

dont get me wrong the dude is insanely good, but dont rule out wade and george's vocals to quickly

[TheCanucks4eva]

whenever dallas green does an acoustic version of any song it always sounds amazing. I guess the only way to top this kind of performance would be to do an acoustic version of an acoustic song and dallas green would probably knock it out of the park

[bongcouver]

@TheCanucks4eva Yeah, I agree. I thought about that and I think I have an answer....it would be just Dallas singing without any guitar, candle lit 70's style livingroom, sitting on a nice chesterfield, and a half empty bottle of Canadian whiskey on the coffee table.

[Sailboatsx]

Dallas Green is Alexisonfire

[HakuLynx]

beautiful song.. new fav and best addiction song of the year!
