- Dallas Green from @cityandcolour didn't think anyone would like his 6 and a half minute slow and sad acoustic songs... but boy was he wrong!! He's now spent 20+ years using his "slow and sad songs" to help him process his head and heart while also making art that connects with fans all over the world.

City and Colour has positively impacted my life, not to mention seeing him live. I’m so thankful for his gift.
Same
He puts on an AMAZING show live. One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.
@@ttvninjaginja45_ricknamethe best for me, seen loads too. His was a super intimate gig though.. anyways, fkn soooo good
The dude is epic live, his voice is haunting...Dallas please come to Paso Robles ca.
i saw him in mtl
"What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?"
You've saved me 💜
Hope for now
My brother committed suicide April.27.2021 and I sing him this song,and hope he hears me😥💔
Love this song sm
Love every single slow and sad song!!
A true artist that followed his heart and didn't sell his soul 👊🏻
One of the Best songwriters of our generation!!! xo
Since hearing C&C´s cover of Rain When I Die Ive been blown away, his voice and delivery is sublime, and the songs can really sit in your emotions, several songs have helped me process a lot, what a gift to music.
This guy is one of my all time favorites. It’s weird to hear his humbleness about how amazing his music is.
We love that first album!
I came back from my first tour in Iraq, and it was a grueling, cruel, beautiful tour with the US Army Infantry, early war (2004), and found City and Colour as a fan of Alexisonfire. Over the years, Dallas has spoken to me through songs like "Sorrowing Man" and "Grand Optimist" that play on repeat almost daily. I've been out of the Army 11 years, my daughters are in high school now, and my wife and I have been married 20 years. We struggle. My mind and heart and soul fuckin' struggle. The City and Colour project has been there with me. Dare I say Dallas has helped me heal? Dare I say he has helped me become better? I have no problem with these claims. So, man am I glad he took this chance. IHS.
He used to play at my high school. I used to hate his music, but after you experience tragedy in your life music speaks to you. When I heard Meant to Be that was it for me. I was angry that he was bringing those emotions out of me, but I am glad he decided to do what he does.
I can’t imagine the pressure he must feel from how deeply he connects to his audience. My grandmother and I used to bond over his music before she died, and I showed it to her and she would listen to it to help deal with her son’s suicide. I have needed his music in every step of my healing journey, he draws the words out of my heart that I’m not brave enough to speak. I am really thankful for this man and his decision to follow his passion. Saw him live twice and I just belted the words and cried the entire time.
" #PrimeMinistetofFolk " aka 'the' Mr. Dallas Green
He has this crazy aesthetic that is SO SOOTHING like no other sound. theres something ethereal about his work
❤
ayyyyymennnn
Can’t imagine a world without city and colour
Save Your Scissors EXPLODED in the scene when it dropped, as it was obviously a very special song, and artist. Still listening in 2023.
I got some of the lyrics tattooed on my body years ago. Such a beautiful song
Your my favorite artist
the 6 and a half minute slow and sad acoustic songs still connect with my soul
city and colour invented the artist i am today. they’re my biggest influence
You knew I’d like it ❤️🔥
Magical songs magical voice
His music never needed to be liked. It was a gift that anyone can realise is a blessing ❤
Dallas Green is my FAVOURITE
This music
Has helped me play guitar better helped emotionally as well
Love you Dallas your music got & gets me through shit … a lot of shit .. without it I wouldn’t be here anymore 🖤🙌🏻
City and Colour is everything! I Passed my love of his music to my four children ❤️ ❤❤❤ They love it just as much
The album is like a soundtrack for those years of my life.
One of my favorite artist and will always remember seeing him live twice back in 2011. Still my best concert experience.
Sometimes is one of my all-time favorite albums EVER
One of the best Healing Musicians Ever!
Sleeping Sickness with Gord, breaks my fucking heart man, every damn time.
I remember this guy yesterday when feelong let down from the music environnement. I'll always remember the times your music uplifted me Dallas, and I intent to make this an inspiration to serve some too, hopefully
I love every record he’s done, but that first album just hits different. Still my favourite album to this day.
Such great music especially love sleep sickness and waiting
His words and his mind is just genius. he knows how to think about his words and talks about his emotions so deeply.
My step daughter and I bond over our love of his music.
THAAATZ LIVIN .... GOD BLESS YALL
Stumbled upon his music when I was about 13. He’s the reason I picked up guitar, and his music has healed a lot of wounds. This new album really speaks to me in a profound way.
Thanks Dallas, you’re a Canadian gem.
My kids and I all love your music.
I lost my son recently and my other kids went to see you in Vancouver lastnight.
They went in honour of my Son TJ.
You said HI to my daughter Sam. It meant a lot. Thank you for your music
My older brother loved them and turned me on to. He passed in 2016 and never got to see him. I makes an effort to see him once a year to honor my brother as well. My condolences to your family May your son R.I.P 🫶🏼🥲
I love City and Colour, It's helped me through some tough times in my life, along with Neverending White Lights!
No way!! First time I heard Save your Scissors on the radio in 2006, I loved it. 😮
Dallas had a band before city and colour called Helican Blue! Some of the old stuff he did is on TH-cam. His music has carried me through so many stages of my life. His show in Toronto Friday was Amazing!
I cant believe he didnt think people would like his first album. Its a masterpiece
I hold the new album so close to my heart
No music has EVER touched me like yours. It's like some kind of healing magic.
You are awesome Dallas, the harmony of Alexisonfire
I can’t wait to see you live. 😭
Too underrated... We are alone and his music helps us have hope! Like we aren't alone
I had heard his first song on the radio, then was at Bluesfest in Ottawa, just laying on the grass, listening to him, killing time..
I fell in love HARD!!! Wow 👌
Right place, right time... been hooked since!!
I met one deep dark love of my life who loved your music and I will never ever be the same 😭🩵🥲
It was your unique voice Dallas❤ its funny l can identify your voice in any music you sing.
Thank God you did, man. Your music has greatly impacted to my life every day and I still solo to your music after 14 years of following you.
Totally relate to the diary entry comment. I began writing from a dark spot in my life and I'm still refining it.
Saw you tonight in Saskatoon. Best show I’ve been to.
The best concert I've been to was his. I'm going to the bell center for Tool this Saturday and I wish it were City and Colour ...
Played “if I should go tomorrow” with another fella at my buds funeral , beautiful song
I strongly suggest that you continue in your musical path because talent won't let you don't for sure hehe🤘🙂
I have been a major fan of yours for over a decade. I saw you live in asheville nc my hometown. One of the best days of my life. I adore you and i found you when you were in a post hardcore band alexesonfire😊
Este vato me a ayudado desde hace muchos años! Simon que si ese!
Your songs mean so much to me❤
The greatest ever ❤
He exudes such humility, and oh, so attractive too! I patiently waited for two years, bought tickets, and had to cancel twice, but this time, there was no chance of missing it again. My daughter (34) and I (53) were moved to tears throughout the event. Dallas's voice soothe my soul on so many levels, thank you for sharing your talent.. it is truly a gift. xxx Montreal, QC
I'm a huge fan of alexisonfire. But honestly I am glad he's doing what he wants. He's so insanely talented it would be a crime for him to not realize his full potential. I love his cover of Alice in chains- rain when I die. He's always going to be one of my favorite musicians of all time.
I still remember sensible heart coming out and it was so relatable
🥳🥳🥳✌️✌️✌️
Dallas Green has been a huge saving grace in my life with his music. Definitely the greatest!
Started listening to this absolute legend when I was a 6th grader. Now I’m in my early 30’s. Dallas green. You will never know how much I appreciate you.
My 14 year old heart fell in love the moment I heard his voice. The Sometimes album got me through every part of my life to this day being 32 now. His lyrics and voice will always be intertwined with my life.
My go to when I’m feeling down. Save your scissors saved me a few times
Your voice is like velvet. How could we not love it?!!!
Streamed the music thru utube and great. What scares is my wife who passed 10 months.ago alwaus spoke about her baby whose name who was Dallas.Greend. hit by a drunk driver at 2 years. Really good music
First time i heard "Comin' home" really stigmatizied me...still brings me down to tears most of the times. Dallas Green did a great job ,great artist.
Save your scissors means so much to me
Dallas also made a comment years ago before his solo stuff took off that he hated his voice when he would hear it played back, and figured if he hated his voice, why would other people like it?
This comment inspired me as a singer because I too hate my voice, but I've always enjoyed singing. It's one of those things that if you enjoy doing it and other people like it, who cares what you think? You'll always be your own worst critic.
Sully Erna from Godsmack made a different comment years ago, "As long as you can hit the notes and sing in tune or key, then you can sing. It doesn't matter what your voice sounds like, how low or high, etc, so long as you can remain in key, you're a singer."
Between both of those comments from incredible musicians has helped motivate me and many others to continue doing what we love.
I'm beyond thankful for the gift you've created for all of us
if it wasn't for Dallas i would not have become a musician, coming home was the first song i learned on the guitar and now i have songs on cbc radio and my bands songs being played in other countries.
I sang body in a box at my buddies wake.
Day old hate holds a spot in my young life too.
Crazy talk,love you all so much❤
I’ve been loving city and colour since I was 19. I’m 34 now. His music is the soundtrack to my life, and I can tell you when I play every album it represents the different times in my life, so Thankyou Dallas ❤
Thank you for everything you’ve written ❤
Goat
Man, so grateful that you continued to follow your dream! You have touched so many lives with your music including mine!!!! Thank you Dallas 🙏🏼
the entire city + colour project AND the you + me project absolutely changed my life. favorite musician forev. those 6 minute acoustic journal entries carried so much resonance and it made me feel seen. thank you for your art 💚
Your first few albums were my safe haven at night growing up. Got me through a lot of insomnia, sleepless nights. I also believe the decades you released in were good timing. Your music has been treasure to me for years. Now you even sing my kid and wife to sleep on long car rides.❤
Você me conquistou aqui no Brasil. Suas músicas são a trilha sonora da minha vida. Não vejo a hora de vocês virem aqui ❤
Your sound, from the vocals to the melody is healing to my soul
He is a brilliant writer and the best male voice. He's a treasure to this world ❤
Wow he looks so different now!
Met Dallas just two nights ago in Langley. Enjoying some dinner at Steven's. Awesome guy.
Your songs get so deep into our hearts ❤️ thank you.
Save your scissors was the song and lyrics that made me a city in colour, or Dallas green fan
Crazy that he thought no one would like c and c, because i fucking love the music
Dallas is so talented looking forward to seeing City & Colour in November
Dallas will forever be a star
Changed my life forever tbh
Rain When I Die made my wife cry. Brain tumor surgery survivor. You've done more than you can imagine, my friend. Thank you.
Your fucking awesome 👌
This guy was a great general manager.
Eu tenho um carinho muito grande por este homem e pelas músicas dele, Two Coins foi uma das que eu mais abracei.
Há 10 anos que escuto City and Colour, a banda é tudo pra mim. Sou muito grata por Dallas existir e ter feito nesses anos todos meus dias cada vez melhores com as suas músicas.
He made all of us cansdian hardcore kids want to pick up qn acoustic guitar and write folk songs
ive been wondering for a while if he has borderline or something, i connect with his music like nothing else on this planet, body in a box will be played at my funeral
