City and Colour - The Grand Optimist

Enjoy and remember to pick up the album, Little Hell, it drops June 7th.

I fear I'm dying of complications
Complications due to things that I've left undone
That all my debts will be left unpaid
Feel like a cripple without a cane
I'm like a jack of all trades
Who's a master of none

Then there's my father
He's always looking on the bright side
Saying things like "son life just ain't that hard"
He is the grand optimist
I am the world's poor pessimist
You give him burdensome times
And he will escape unscarred

I guess I take after my mother

I used to be quite resilient
Gain no strength from counting the beads on a rosary
Now the wound has begun to turn
Another lesson that has gone unlearned
But this is not a cry for pitty or for sympathy

I guess I take after my mother

It makes me so upset that people like Katy Perry who can't sing for shit (YES SHE DOES SING LIKE SHIT, I've seen her live at warped tour one year before she was famous, and she was absolutely terrible) and Dallas Green hardly gets the recognition of the music industry. I wish people would stop being so ignorant and see how much genuine music there is out there.

@LoveM209 lol, way to judge an artist by a performance FOUR YEARS AGO. gg.

im not even sure what a biznasty is...but like everyone says, who the fuck cares. this song is really great and we came here to enjoy it. So stop trying to be a hipster faggot and prove that you knew about this song before someone else.

@spitshine03 the Crack song and Kurt Cobain are two songs that you should check out from KO before you listen to Moving Mountains. Moving Mountains is his super poppy single but his other tracks are damn good

@spitshine03 Thanks! I'll check them out! :)

@ashiedrew I agree with you, I saw her years ago when she was just starting out and I'm just sayin it wasn't the best. But I've been to so many shows from Britney Spears to Rise Against to Circa Survive to Andre Nickatina. Everything is different.
