I cannot stop drinking alcohol. No matter what I try, where I go, how long I last at a time. I always go back. This song makes me comfortable. I can't stop myself. I see my life from behind my eyes and the bottle. Thank city and colour for this. I can cry on an invisible shoulder
Hello internet stranger. Same. It's going to happen for us. You do you and make your own way. I believe in you, and hopefully I can follow your lead when alcohol is a mere afterthought to your progress.
One day at a time. Reach out to people and talk it helped me I’m 50 days sober so very much ground zero still. Speaking to other alcoholics is the only way to get better. I wish you all the best you can do this
My best friend told me that she loved this song, she told me that his voice was the kind of voice that you want to put in your pocket so that any time you get sad you can take it out and listen, and it would make you feel better. She was right! A sad song that is uplifting...that is irony. :-)
I found out about this song and band randomly. Some guy had died, i had no clue who he was so being curious i clicked on his profile and the kid had shared this song a few hours before his death. Great song. May he rest in peace.
Eh, the Band is just one guy Gustavo. his name is Dallas Green and was the lead guitarist and clean vocalist for a band from canada called Alexisonfire. You should def do some research on them I promise it is worth your time.
I just got out of the military and alcoholism is something that i struggle with daily, this song speaks to me in more ways than i could ever explain. Brings tears to my eyes, but hope to my heart at the same time in a strange way..knowing i'm not alone in these struggles
I got out about a year ago and struggled with it also. Things are getting better now that I sought help, so I hope the same happens to you. Best wishes
My mom has been a heavy alcoholic for 10+ years. I love how people think this song is trying to make you sympathize with being an alcoholic when really, the point is at the end that you DON'T need alcohol to solve your problems. Your nerves will be the death of you either way. It's a song I will listen to until I get much older after she has passed to remind myself to not go down the same path as she did.
This song was so my life a few month's ago..It's scary how many insane thoughts were in my head when my father passed, and what a drunk I was! Yup 20yrs old & a drunk, depressed and losing my mind. Until a few months ago when I discovered Dallas Green and his song's and it made me feel better that I wasnt alone.
I'm currently drunk for the very first time and suddenly this song makes a frightening amount of sense. I'm a little afraid, and definitely worried. ....But his voice is so beautiful that it helps me orient myself every time I re-listen.
this is probably one of my absolute favorite songs my dallas green. i've been listening to him for several months now and i have never gotten tired of his amazingly beautiful voice. i will be a fan forever
Unfortunately, this song has been my life ever since my return from trying to save lives as a medic in Iraq. With all the things that I had to deal with, whiskey is the only thing that helps me to sleep at night. I'll be alright eventually... I hope. Hearing the passion fueled into these gut wrenching lyrics helps to ease the pain somewhat. Thank you Dallas for getting a song out there that expresses the sorrow that so many people go through everyday.
such a great song it certainly resonates deeply within me to think about some of the great music that comes out of CANADA having done music shuttling back and forth between THE Uk and Canada! hope to post some of my own music soon keep listening CheERS!
So I was listening to this song while doing homework and somehow it got put on auto-replay and i didn't notice and I've been listening to the same song for the past hour
i am one of those people that is almost always touched by anxiety and ruthless inquietude. it is not easy to fit in society when you are like that, and it is hard to constantly try to function 'normally'. i like to think about us, these kind of misfits, as aliens stuck in a human form, that were born at some other galaxy, in past lives lived on other planets with, for us, more soothing air to breathe. so i often see Earth as a filthy round ball, filled with no oxygen and nothing but toxic gasses
We are spiritual beings having a physical experience... a lot of the disorientation and confusion occurs from thinking that it goes the other way around.
john lennon, paul mccartney, and george harrison, all had awesome solo carreers and wrote amazing music. so yes, they were very good at writing music by themselves, which is why most would say they were phenomenal when they came together.. just throwin that out there
Trying to deal with anxiety while not giving into the vices some turn to soothe their nerves. As a guy who has been straight edge and dealt with anxiety disorders most of his life, I can relate.
I got out of active duty in 08 and was in some rough stuff over there in ramadi and fallujah. It gets better with time but i feel you i definitely drink too much and listen to city and color and other groups like this a lot.
When I was in the pits of my meth/alcohol... errr everything addiction and lost all my family and friends and was surrounded by freaks and users this was my anthem. I would be loaded and I would shout the lyrics of this song out while listening to it downing a half gallon of booze. Now 3 years later in healthy, happy, got my family back and my good friends. I’m financially stable and doing great. But this song will always be a reminder of hard times.
I listened to so much City and Color, while i was going through my Transition. Probably not the best idea in retrospect considering how sad there material is, But i really feel like it got me through the most difficult experience in my life.
this song reminds me of my ex. I drank so much when we grew apart. it hurt so much but in a weird way it actually makes me happy that we have moved on and became happy people
Your life is always what you make of it. Just like some people at 80 tell themself they are too old to do anything while others do exercises and thing that even I can't do at my age (21). You got to enlarge your vision of everything and also focus on what realy makes you happy.
VintageBeef sent me - nice to meet you - kwl song!!
Same! :)
Welcome to the song of my life
*cool
I have anxiety, depression, and insomnia. It seems like he writes those songs for me.
The most underrated artist of our time!

This is one of my favorite songs. Ever. I love Dallas Green....most beautiful, soulful voice....his music heals me.
His & their music is truly beautiful, soul touching. =)
I found out about this song and band randomly. Some guy had died, i had no clue who he was so being curious i clicked on his profile and the kid had shared this song a few hours before his death. Great song. May he rest in peace.
Wow. Awesome story.

GODEATER Fenrir alexisonfire is one of my favorite bands of all time. Rip

AcheroniD thanks, good to know there is hope out there.
Courtney Ballard thank you for your service, and stay strong
+Courtney Ballard Never had a drink till two weeks after I was out of the Navy, last 5 years have just been one big drink. You're not alone
i fuckin feel you.
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me, I know.
I know, I know.
I had a friend who listened to this song literally the night before he was killed. I can't stop listening to this song, I miss him so much..
stop being so depressing. more you mourn the more it hurts
Contentuous DnB how insensitive can you be? You don't know anyone's struggle. Think before you speak.
you do realize this song is about when dallas had a period in his life when he didn't drink
mathieu dubeau What does that have to do with anything that was just said?
mathieu dubeau I believe it's about his ''clean '' period and the positive feelings of recovery!!
over ten years from when i heard this song. yep, i still feel this way.
One of very few musicians CD's I have actually bought. This man deserves more credit then he gets. His music is beyond any other artist out there.
Song sends chills down my spine everytime

dont you just love to harmonize with him when he sings "I know."
+Roddric Cabigas Yes, thats the best part! haha Wonder why that part prompts you to harmonise with him
+Jack Westrop sleep at night
Circa Survive and City and Colour are my favs to harmonize with. Even if there's no harmony on the track.
Amazing song, absolutely love it. Hits in the right spot
When I'm a fucking mess I listen to this and I don't feel so bad. It helps accept the shit that's happening.
Girls do my head in...
I'm currently drunk for the very first time and suddenly this song makes a frightening amount of sense. I'm a little afraid, and definitely worried.
....But his voice is so beautiful that it helps me orient myself every time I re-listen.
Don't drink look where it got grownups. NOWHERE.
my brother met him but didn't know who he was, then heard him sing and said 'he has the voice of an angel'. i 100% agree.
Huge fan and going strong for two and a half years now! This song is so beautiful. His voice- YUM.
This guy... this guy takes the jumble of a mess of my brain and puts it out in the most beautiful and simple way.
this is probably one of my absolute favorite songs my dallas green. i've been listening to him for several months now and i have never gotten tired of his amazingly beautiful voice. i will be a fan forever

Every single one of his songs are put into perfect words,
such a great song it certainly resonates deeply within me to think about some of the great music that comes out of CANADA having done music shuttling back and forth between THE Uk and Canada! hope to post some of my own music soon keep listening CheERS!
Can you accept death? Then you can accept pain. Everyone is contagious. This should not go unnoticed. Thank you Dallas Green. I know too.
Unfortunately you're not alone in your misery, but the brightside is you're not drinking alone. Semper Fi, Doc.
Wonderful song, thanks for sharing!
No such song has ever spoke to me so much in life...
One of his best songs.
Absolutely awesome. "People love to drink their troubles away sometimes I feel that I'd be better off that way..."
i love this song so much....very touching❤️
So I was listening to this song while doing homework and somehow it got put on auto-replay and i didn't notice and I've been listening to the same song for the past hour
Just raised my glass of wine at 2:15am to "Maybe drinking wine will validate my sorrow". Dallas Green is my hero.
I can relate to this song way too much..
My fav song

Just saw City and Colour.. Amazinggg!

love this song, the whole cd
Ate hoje fico insatisfeito de não ter ido no show dele em São Paulo quando estiveram no Brasil. 🥹
here from beefy tunes! gorgeous song
"So here's to living life miserable.
And here's to all the lonely stories that I've told."
These lyrics are perfectly clear with no beating around the bush sphyphers.
This song, forever.

Oh, how I love him.
Also, the melody reminds me slightly of Sunday, bloody Sunday by U2.
You know someone is amazing when they sound better live.

+David Zollicoffer Check out Hope For Now. They do things like that.
Just so y'all know the vinyl version of this album is like $100. I'm sobbing I love this band.
This is so my life........
Saaaame
It is just a great song!
I listened to so much City and Color, while i was going through my Transition. Probably not the best idea in retrospect considering how sad there material is, But i really feel like it got me through the most difficult experience in my life.
I agree. His voice is calming as hell though... Help's put you to sleep.
Dallas Green is a clever, witty man
Please come to DFW, TX.
This song is like my life
this song reminds me of my ex. I drank so much when we grew apart. it hurt so much but in a weird way it actually makes me happy that we have moved on and became happy people
Your life is always what you make of it. Just like some people at 80 tell themself they are too old to do anything while others do exercises and thing that even I can't do at my age (21). You got to enlarge your vision of everything and also focus on what realy makes you happy.
