Dallas Green is a musical genius
You can see how this is true that no one came to disagree
Indeed he is.
As a young kid I would fall asleep to his albums on little gray CD player. My mother would always start it for me. I could not sleep without it. The sound of his angelic voice, the sound of his harmonic guitar, it all fuzed to create something so special for myself and his audience. As I became older I developed an understanding of his lyric, as I started to experience the things he had sung about. His songs provide a sense of security, knowing that Dallas can understand the things I have had to endure,even if he doesn’t know of my existence. Even still as a 16 year old, I listen to his songs to sleep on an Amazon Alexa Dot. Him and his songs will always have a place in my heart. To me he is the best, and always will be. Legends never die, and he truly is a legend in my world. His music is powerful enough to give me the courage to keep on with life. His music that was once only a lullaby to me became something that I can fully understand and cherish as I got older.
I hope you're still doing well and keeping strong.
Disappointed to say that i'd never heard of this guy before watching this video. Happy to say i now have a new favourite artist and human. Great interview.
MY LORD, I envy the catalogue of music you are about to embark on with all the mixed emotions that come with it. Said emotions will never leave. I have been listening to Dallas for many years & I still feel a type of way, that no other artist can make me feel when I do. Enjoy my friend, you've found a musical genius.
@@HomeboyHomegrown aaaahhh, that's so cool to read. I can't wait to listen to it all. I'm gonna go chronologically, unless you can think of a better alternative?
Enjoy. Dallas Green is remarkable.
@@burgesssam Chronologically from beginning to present? I would suggest picking albums randomly - you'll find the songs you can't live without pretty quickly. Dallas has evolved well musically, in my opinion, but the early stuff is still immense.
@@burgesssam I recommend checking out Alexisonfire (if you're into heavier music) and his side-project with Pink (You+Me) too! Both so great.
This was a very well done, genuine interview. Love the raw emotion and honesty
It was crap.
Excellent interview Tom. Felt like I was in the room. It's refreshing to hear an interview from someone who's a genuine fan of the music.
This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Well done!
When Dallas Green shows up on my playlist while I'm out working in the yard or riding down the road on my bike, I feel a sense of coming home. He's brilliant, and as he ponder's what the next stage of life holds for him, I wonder if he would consider making a full length documentary on the topic of his choice with a brand new sound track of music and lyrics to bring it to life. Something that will bring us back to a time that we can all relate to.
What ever you do Dallas, keep things changing and explore new roads and genres to keep things fresh.
"They're saying what I'm thinking"
Exactly why I fell in love with music at 13
Saw him last night. One of the best shows i've seen. He kinda found a groove. I don't know if it was that show, that band, that tour. But something just moved everyone in that building.
As others have said, this was a very good interview, and not just because I'm such a big fan of City and Colour's music. This should be the textbook for how to interview a musician. Know them, care about them and their art, dig deep. So good.
Dal, Karl will be in the stage with you.
You know, it's never a real goodbye.
Take pride in what is sure to die.
Thanks for the 15years with me.
This guy is amazing. Been listening since 2015. His songwriting is inspirational.
Great interview by the way!
I love Dallas. Such a beautiful human being
Man, Dallas is going through some emotions in his interview. Can tell he's struggling with touring and being away from his family so long.
What a great interview. Dallas has been a favorite for many years and continues to be a prolific writer and entertainer
I've just found you . I live in the Scottish Highlands and now I love your voice ... and I love you . Passionately!
Living so remotely , makes music ultra important . Your voice fills these mountains ! ❤
Dallas has been my favourite artist since the day I heard Save your scissors. No voice like his. Would be awesome to just hang out with him for the afternoon, seems like such a down to earth guy. No doubt he is.
Tom, Great questions. Love Dallas’ music. Thanks for the great interview!
He’s such a legend.
Tom Power, what an amazing interview , no hiding your understanding and love for music.
You nailed it and made this very enjoyable to listen to. Cheers from Michigan
Love this man's voice, music ,words ,have had the privilege to seen him live twice in Ireland ,Dublin ,Belfast ,don't know what it is but all songs hit home with me ,one hell of a cool dude .
Good lord this interviewer is good. Dallas is awesome as usual. What a great watch.
I love dallas greens music and his personality. hes such a tremendous person. and hes so thoughtful
Refreshing. Loved this session. Excellent on all levels-thanks
Great interview again Tom.
Hey D, it's good to hear what's on your mind. I wish I felt that that musical fear your talking about. Now I know why you sing about how you like to take your time and there's a good reason why. I should have listened to you. From now on I plan on doing good deeds. Your lyrics shall help guide me once again. My condolences on the passing of your friend too. So sorry you had to go through that. ✌
His music saved my life. ❤ Thank you Dallas. 🙏
Tom Power was as brilliant as Dallas was, here.
What a pleasure to listen to, and experience.
And yes... Dallas seems to be a master songwriter & Artist who is able to 'sneak Art in' even on the most bland of scenarios.
Thank you for this,
Cheers from Portugal
I've been listening to Green's music since his 2005 "Sometimes" record. There's just something about his lyrics and the arrangement of the songs that just hits you in the right kind of way. Great artist, wonderful interview. Also is that a Toronto Raptor's pin I see?
I'll never forget when I met Dallas back in 2001ish and went skateboarding before his show with alexis. We chatted about gear and just life in general. Very humble dude! I think he might of played two acoustic songs at the end of the alexis show if I remember correctly. So happy to see his success over the years.
What a pleasure to listen to this ~ fine, fine conversation.
We need another you+me album!
Awesome interview with an amazing talent
VERY good interview!! Almost like two friends getting into deep conversation.
Super great interview.
8:33 damn that hits hard. I feel the same way :/
Dallas - City and Green - Colour !!
Love that Guy
What guy?
What guy?
DG should be way more famous
Hi! I just want to know if it is posible that I get to make a spanish translation for this video? Is there a way for doing that? I'm from Chile, lots of fans of Dallas's music here and honestly I have a lot of friends that loves him but they don't understand english and the automatic translation doesn't make sense at all, I really need them to have the pleasure of watching this interview, honestly it's the best Dallas's interview I've ever seen. Please let me know if there's a way of making the translation for the video so every spanish speaker from latinoamerica and Spain can watch it and get the whole conversation, I'd really appreciate it.
P.S: Just to be 100% clear on this, I'm not pretending to do this for money, I don't want to get paid , AT ALL, I just want you to let me do this so I can enjoy this with my girlfriend, best friends and my mother who loves him since 2010!
Thank you for reading me, I hope I can get a respond soon!
There's always pluses and minuses in all things in life pretty much like Dallas was saying
I haven't seen you live but that's what I will do .
I want to thumbs up this video but it's at 777 and I just can't ruin that.
When is it coming out and why can't I find it if it's already dropped.
it came out last year! should be on vinyl + spotify
City and Colour is Andy Bernard if he won that singing contest.
Did him and Leah Miller get a divorce? I’ve been wondering for YEARS
9:09 I think that's the conundrum Syd Barrett, Jim Morrison even Dave Chappelle found themselves in. Money and fame or integrity and humility?? (where you follow your heart/soul). As the saying goes, ‘you can’t please all of the people all of the time’...you end up trying to split hairs and second guessing EVERYTHING, every step you’ve taken
What kind of boots is Dal wearing? I need them
Green Doc Martens
This is kind of out of left field, but I’d love to see Dallas do a collaboration with Ville Vallo of HIM
Super random
Lol
Annoying me how the interviewer keeps saying the "pink" record.
Bad Interview.
The worst interview of the most amazing person I've seen. What a waste of time.
Really?! was that necessary? Mr. Tom Power is a professional with a HUGE FAN BASE.
How? This interview style is very rare. Notice how engaged Dallas is? This is how interviews should be, and I think it mattered to Dallas as much as it mattered to Tom.
Tom Power, Really? is this you? wow what a weak skills set. not even disappointing.
