    For me, this was one hell of a introduction to City and Colour. Absolutely blown away by this performance. Layne was such a unique vocalist, to cover his music is no easy task. To do this in your own style and make it work this well is a testament to your own talents. For an encore I'd like to request Love, Hate, Love.

      I agree with you for sure but am also reminded that most of their stuff was written first on acoustic guitars as far as I know. That one is a big departure for sure though. I went back and listened to the original just now and was blown away by the intro. These two compliment each other nicely.

Who are all die hard AIC fans, like their whole life is influenced by these guys, like I would be but they are a different level. And we were all chatting and talking shit and as soon as this came in there was silence… and the silence that followed the song was much greater than the track running time. Absolutely Beautiful.

      @@tommydacomicguy741 I couldn't recall him really singing in a high voice so I watched a handful of songs on YT and did find some. Prince was very different from Dallas even if they both sing in a high voice for at least some of their songs. Prince was incredibly talented from writing most, if not all, of his own music, to playing any instrument he wanted. From singing as high or low he wanted to "owning" his unique personal style. I would even go as far as to say "there'll never be another guy who can be as unique and talented as Prince." Prince has credibility that Dallas will never match and his personality was bigger than he was. He spent years building his brand and nobody can question the level that he attained. He's not just some guy who totally castrated someone else's song where someone else built their brand on a low, raspy voice. That voice spawned many imitators and that voice didn't "puss up" someone else's song. That voice developed his own style and has many followers who are fiercely loyal.
      Dallas is no Prince.

    Is she ready to know my frustration?
    What she slippin' inside, slow castration
    I'm a riddle so strong, you can't break me
    Did she come here to try, try to take me?
    Did she call my name?
    I think it's gonna rain
    When I die
    Was it something I said, held against me?
    Ain't no life on the run, slowly climbing
    Caught in ice so she stares, stares at nothing
    I can help her but won't, now she hates me
    Did she call my name?
    I think it's gonna rain
    When I die
    She won't let me hide
    She don't want me to cry
    Will she keep on the ground, trying to ground me?
    Slowly forgive my lie, lying to save me
    Could she love me again or will she hate me?
    Prob'ly not, I know why, can't explain me
    Did she call my name?
    I think it's gonna rain

    Oh my fucking god man. Thus is absolutely beautiful and the fact that it's not really changed it's all the same notes just with a slightly slower rhythm and more predominantly sung. Dude I honestly believe Layne would have bowed to this performance almost definitely. Way to home onto the nature of the original song and give it your identifying twist. Honestly so much respect I'm completely blown the Fuck away. I'm a vocalist myself and Layne is definitely top three(I'll never rank those 3 any other way) just top 3 of my all time influences and such an underrated pure singer. That man could do impossible things and it's like for so long it just went unnoticed... Anyway sorry for the rant but thank you so very much for this performance and the you and true emotion you put into it. Absolutely amazing

Then this comes up on my feed.
    Wow. Dallas shed a whole new light on this song for me. It feels just like a sad back and forth love song without the reverb and distortion. The notes he hits at the chorus gives me chills. Layne would be thrilled with this! Very imaginative, heart felt and beautiful. Whole new appreciation for this man.There's no Alice without Layne, sorry.

      Then you don't know what you're missing. Dallas Green (City and Colour/Alexisonfire) is an amazing artist/songwriter. I've always been a punk rock and heavy metal person, but because of this guy I've expanded my genre of music and inspired me to start playing guitar again a few years ago.

    No chord he strikes ever gets boring. You can see the passion and attachment to a guitar. That instrument is literally an extension of his arms. Beautiful passion, and beautiful to hear. Thanks Dallas.
