[powerpunk117]

[smilewitherain]

Hahahaha, I clicked this and there was a singing ad for pizza and I assumed I had clicked the wrong video.

[BCDowns94]

This song relates way too well. I suffer from Insomnia and Dallas Green is the only one getting me by a this moment. I guess he can relate.

[DiamondTech26]

I finally figured out from the comments that this song was preloaded onto my BB... I found it on there one day and was like, "wtf is this song? I didn't load it on here" So I listened to it, I've been hooked ever since. Thank you youtubers, you guys finally cleared the mystery as to how I found this song.

[1234kikit]

I listened to this song after my girlfriend broke up with me yesterday.

"Oh how im breakin down."

[iheartriku]

I was reading my AP Environmental book and I saw the term "sleeping sickness". I immediately thought of this song. Such an amazing song.

[joeysasickciant]

sleeping sickness

noun

1 a tropical disease caused by a parasitic protozoan (trypanosome) that is transmitted by the bite of the tsetse fly. It causes fever, chills, pain in the limbs, and anemia, and eventually affects the nervous system causing extreme lethargy and death. See also trypanosomiasis .

2 another term for encephalitis lethargica ........... i googled the song and this came up... lol

[DRCismeant4me]

sosososososososososo goood<33

[rubejeezy]

[hateallthefakes]

It's just... It's just one of the highest expressions of art I've ever seen.

[storm2387]

It's awesome to hear a band that plays real music and is great with words. How I've missed music that means something. Life is good once again

[VPlenzo]

check out my vocal cover and let me know what you guys think :) hopefully I did this song justice.

[posterflopepper]

I got this form my favorite 8tracks playlist that I listen to when I'm in the shower...

[erikw5]

32 people have no souls

[mhughet]

How does this not have a million views yet? Why aren't they playing this on the radio? This song is amazing.

[gunit421]

@mhughet this song is on the radio at least 2-3 times a day but thats also in canada

[ibanez1523]

i would give my life for this music

[shelbyymb]

Lyrical genius much? This is perfection, at best. Oh how the replay button just keeps getting clicked.

[PhaQandyou]

This song is lame and the Hip are gay.

[FlamingoesArePink]

Dallas Green, love me back.

[BaileySaur]

I listen to this on the nights where my insomnia keeps me awake.

[AroundWayOtherThe]

[ChrisHoglund]

31 people had a seizure on their way to the like button

[lalaloubean]

[jonqeee]

I cant stop listening to this one.

[StaticPallour]

Tragically*

[musicman1401]

Dallas Green is a musical saint. One of the most modest songwriters bringing hope to any darkness

[sbait3]

They say that haters make you famous, I'm glad that City and Colour doesn't have many haters

[Gofenstien]

This song really spoke to me. I have sleep paralysis and the love of my life lives one hundred and fifty miles away. the stress created by the distance has been really difficult and this song just hit me. Amazing

[RugerRick757]

This song is Crazy........good music is hard to find nowadays.........dallas is truly talented.....i would like to hear more

[Edrizzle31]

my blackberry sent me here

[yazzy613]

gord downie has an amazing voice

[YacubH2961]

@yazzy613

dallas green has an amazing voice

1. Thom Yorke

2. Dallas Green

3. Rest of the world

[devinlavergne]

I'm glad I dated my ex-girlfriend for one reason. She showed me city and colour.

[diffname]

@devinlavergne same boat mate!



[CoryCanDo]

@devinlavergne amen

[j0lis]

This song is absolutely amazing. His vocals cut me to my core. I lost my breath the first time I listened to this song. I am thankful for this song.

[nakedlunch89]

Why is he married to the dumbest girl possible? Hes too good for her!

[iAmTheEndOfTheWorld0]

@nakedlunch89 who

[mikecvet]

@nakedlunch89 do you know her?

[munkynik]

one more badass canadian to add to the list of badass canadians that exists somewhere probably...someone should make a list of badass canadians

[pur3pk3r39]

@munkynik lmfaooooo yes man were awesome. but it made me laugh that you said that

[mfalada]

THIS IS BRILLIANT <3

[moose3132]

`he makes me feel like someone is coming to save my life

[joshMni]

@moose3132 he's saving my life...

[chokemestrangled]

He's brilliant



[frankieeatsbabies]

"Ive become the simple souvenir of someone's kill." Who the fuck writes that? A true artist. This song is beautiful. End of story.

[RoyalRascalsSeries]

@frankieeatsbabies

it's "someone's guilt" not "someone's kill" :P

[CommanderTarkin]

@RoyalRascalsSeries Take a look at the lyrics, it actually is "kill" :)

[frankieeatsbabies]

@RoyalRascalsSeries oh my bad, either way, it's fucking brilliant.

[JPOberg1]

@frankieeatsbabies Amen.

[MrTroll696]

@frankieeatsbabies I thumbed up simply because your username is freaking badass. :P

[talltim84]

@frankieeatsbabies or a fan of the tv show Dexter :)

[Rhysboom]

@frankieeatsbabies 100% agree with this

[FrostedFlakkes13]

His Voice Makes Me Heart Melt. <3

[TheElectriciti]

More real words have not been said

[KayleeAnne05]

Words cannot explain the talent this man holds. He writes songs that speak to every different person in their own way. No matter what it feels like the song was written specifically for you. No other artist out there has yet to accomplish what he has.

[geesusftw]

@KayleeAnne05 So fucking true.

[ShaynaaRCO666]

i am absolutly in love with this song :)

[ChrisHoglund]

okay, one more time. I promise. this is the last time i'm clicking replay for the night.

[stephenpaulsmith1]

This was a song that was a demo on a friends cell phone. Heard it, loved it....

Keep the hits coming!

[RightThroughTheOcean]

This song i so beautiful

[Dragonbornn]

nice

[xSalamandax]

I love WILLIAM!

[willnelson50]

@xSalamandax newbface

[willnelson50]

I LOVE AMANDA

[dangolf1890]

Who found this song b/c it was pre-downloaded on their blackberry

[juampygh]

And I'm afraid

To sleep because of what haunts me

Such as living with the uncertainty

That I'll never find the words to say

Which would completely explain

Just how I'm breaking down

[BOBTHEHOBO1693]

well fuck me sideways........ Dallas is so amazing.

[STEEZYProductions1]

Like this if Dallas Green should record with Portugal the Man!

[MrPaulAlcantara]

:) 

[MsLoveShawn]

his voice gives me goosebumps

[FunkyYellowIpod]

seeing him tomorrow at the Royal Albert Hall, so so soooo excited!! anyone else going??

[CrockPotBlog]

@FunkyYellowIpod i saw him in NYC last month. I had to bring 2 extra pairs of underwear.

[MiiZzStAr]

@FunkyYellowIpod He needs to come to Texas or near it. I love his voice && him!!

[Rizzle600]

@FunkyYellowIpod Ahh dude he was London and I missed it?:'(

[FunkyYellowIpod]

@Rizzle600 yeah haha! aww shame, he was awesome x)

[BigCityBreakdown]

I have an acoustic solo project called Big City Breakdown and I am heavily influenced by City and Colour, so if you like Dallas Green then you should check out my channel :)

[stragmusic]

I feel like the reason I love this song soo much is because the lyrics are sad but the instrumental and chorus makes me happy. Like it's weird, I can't explain it. I can't think of a reason why they would do that but I think it makes the song unique and amazing =)

[taruto10]

I hate justin Bieber, and I love this...nuff said...

[sbait3]

This gives me hope

[hippychika28]

wow...now i can see what Dallas means about the fighting online...complete bs...i saw him play at west park...amazing...plain and simple...amazing...

[biteme34]

31 people should jump off a bridge :)

[h3yh34th3r]

[Bankgirl88]

Awesome song, Gord takes it to brilliant heights!;)

[Vagmagic]

31 people have sleeping sickness

[aIexi]

has anyone noticed these are the same chords as Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins?

[M0RGANO]

@aIexi Nope. Because they're not.

[aIexi]

@M0RGANO

well...the intro strumming pattern is the same on the E chord, then C follows, then G to F# to E again...

[M0RGANO]

@aIexi

Sleeping Sickness: G-G/F#-Em-C

Disarm: Em7-Cadd9-G-Dsus4/F#

they are super close though. sorry for kind of being a douche >_<

[aIexi]

@M0RGANO Ye the same chords, you just moved G/F# to the beginning lol

[firedevotion]

@aIexi Kind of, but nevertheless, those are both amazing songs. I love Smashing Pumpkins.

Dallas Green, I wish I could marry you. <3
