The original version of this song is one Layne’s best choruses ever. So powerful and haunting. Dallas Green pushes it to a place I never thought possible. Masterful performance.
@@michaelbolanowski7390 lol oops. I read your comment wrong haha. I thought you were saying someone else had the most original version of the actual original. My bad
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 My husband and I have seen him three times alone, twice in Kansas City, once in Tennessee, and in May we took our 6 and 14 year old to see him in Saint Louis. He is incredible AND anyone who opens for him is ALSO astonishing! ❤❤❤❤❤
Coming from an old Alexisonfire fan, when Dallas put out the first City and Colour album it was the reason I picked up my dad's acoustic for the first time in like two years.
Totally shaped my life around the same time. Especially when his first solo demos came out. Prob the biggest Guitar, voice, and song writing influence!
When I was a teen That album inspired me to write music on acoustic guitar and it still does. I recently went to his solo show and when he played those old songs I couldn’t hold my tears back remembering those good old days . First time I cried at one of his shows lol
I used to love going to his earlier shows in Winnipeg. Everyone was so quiet and respectful. Went to one recently and everyone out is just screaming out lyrics and songs lol.
His reaction, from 02:37 until at 02:50, was exactly my reaction as the song progressed. I did not know this guy was, and was terrified when I saw him standing there with only an acoustic guitar. I thought it was going to be a mess... Not sure whether I had ever been more on the wrong about something...
Been listening to C&C since the early 2000s and I love DG but that's a bit of a stretch. Just in Rock music alone there's Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Freddie Mercury, Stevie Nicks, Maynard James Keenan, Mike Patton. If you wanna get into other genres there's artists like Nina Simone, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Billie Holiday, Sam Cooke, Ella Fitzgerald, Joni Mitchell, Marvin Gaye...
@@SID6.7 Its not a stretch at all, I'm well aware of some of the best vocalists of all time. Dallas Green could be easily placed in the top 3 of all time best singers to ever exist. His voice is phenomenally unreal.
I think the reason why Dallas's cover is so good is because, as you said, he doesn't just sing the lyrics. He feels them. And that emotion creates a real resonance in his performance. For those of us of a certain age, AIC songs bring back strong memories and we react emotionally not just from the music, but the memories of those times and also the loss of those voices that sang those songs. I always loved this song, but hearing Dallas sing it the way he did also made me tear up. It just proves how good of an artist he is.
This is my favorite AIC song ever, so I want to hate any cover of it... but Dallas just seriously made this song come alive without the hard hitting drive of Cantrell’s guitar. Simply incredible and beautiful!
When it hit you..... I felt that man. I had the exact same experience when I first heard this. Thank you so much for allowing us to experience this with you.
I’ve loved City and colour for so long. Paradise has got me through so many hard times. Still can’t believe there’s a lot of people who have never heard of them
You are in for such a treat. You are probably going to get taken to some unfamiliar/uncomfortable places emotionally. But my god just let it happen. I'd love to know which album is your favorite.
oh wow! I'm a huge fan of AIC and Rain when I die is one of my most favorite song , but I didn't know City and Colour and I am floored! What a great cover. What a voice! What a tone! Thank you fot this reaction
Dallas Green deserves to be so much more known than he is. Its a shame. I have seen him twice live and its like nothing id ever seen before. I wish he got more recognition
Being a huge Layne Staley/AIC fan, it is so hard to listen to those who cover their music b/c, even the best of artists, just miss the mark. However, Dallas blew me away with his interpretation of the song. He took this gritty, raw, slightly fearful/sad song and made it equally haunting yet so beautifully smooth - and you could still feel the angst that was Layne. Well done! And yes I shed a few tears as well!!!
I named my son Layne because of my love for the man. Layne was telling us flatout in his music that he was on a path to death , you can almost hear the accepted reality of his own demise on the Dirt album, he knows the addiction has him and most likely will destroy him. He was a one in a billion talent and missed sorely by us hardcore Fans.
I love when other musicians appreciate the soul in the music enough to let their emotions show. Goosebumps and tears is a regular for me when I discover new music. Let em flow brother
He came in for an interview may years ago at Triple M, and we recorded him doing Nutshell. It's on TH-cam and definitely worth the look. Dude just crushes it every time.
I've seen City and Colour twice and he is an unworldly talent. Actually the last time I saw him he opened with a full acoustic set opening for Alice in Chains. He said it was a bucket list performance for him since that was his favourite band ever
Seeing the moment you choked up and got emotional, man... This is the ONLY cover I have ever heard that just absolutely delivers on the emotion that Layne projected. Dallas even made it his own and I think that made it more incredible.
made me cry first time i heard this a few months back, now i am a huge dallas green fan and city and colour fan. he absolutely sings like an angel 😇 😇 love the channel
3:50 - the longest i've ever seen Mike let a clip play : ) Love it - this tune had me stumped as well the first time i heard it. Keep it up Mike. Love from Ireland
@@Guitargate Mike u just made my day! Taking care of my sick father with Parkinson's and went outside for a smoke to listen to this and i can guarantee I'm gonna have a smile on my face all day! Love what u do. I'm playing for 20 years but been a bit disenchanted lately or burnt out and your channel and your energy reminds me every day why I love my guitar! Thanks mate...Maurice
Dallas Green is so good. I became aware of him from a video at the 2018 JUNO awards where he performed Bobcaygeon along with another great Canadian artist Sarah Harmer. A great tribute to the late Gord Downie. So many wonderful Canadian musicians!
Dallas Green is absolutely amazing. He offers so much musically. I want to be him when I grow up. Dallas = City + Green = Colour. Man is a Canadian treasure.
There aren't many perfect albums out there, but Little Hell and The Hurry and the Harm are about as close as anyone can get to perfect. Both made by Dallas.
When I saw this performance on the MoPoP tribute to AIC I immediately went back and listened to Dallas Green’s back catalog. Great stuff. And I’m the biggest AIC fan 😉
I have loved this guys music since I first heard his Myspace Transmissions. He still sounds amazing, and plays so well. Such an enjoyable listen, and it's good to see that I'm not the only one moved to tears by music!
Loved Alexis on Fire and then I stumbled upon City and Colour on a compilation album I had for years and just fell in love with everything about the man. Some of his lyrics have been life rafts to me in some dark times. Love that these worlds are brought together!
I must have had his first album "Sometimes" on repeat for a whole year when it came out. His performance of "Lover Come Back" for Guitar Center a few years back was unreal. Like you said, this dude is the real deal. He has one of the best understandings of dynamics I've seen.
I'm glad to see someone react to this performance in the same way that I did upon first hearing it. Dallas has a way to him for sure. It's beautiful in so many ways.
I saw Dallas Green live here in ottawa at a local theater and it was the best concert experience ive ever seen. Such hauntingly beautiful vocals accompanied by amazing guitar. Hes a god!
That's so cool! I don't think I'll be able to do that in Canada. I'll be seeing him on december 4th in Montreal. I'll make my own t-shirt for the occasion as always because I love doing that. It's gonna be my first CIty and Colour show ever and it will be solo. I also have all his albums because I needed some music to draw on computer. I discovered him on the album the hurry and the arm because of my rock radio station 97.7 CHOM fm.
The most impressive thing about all of your videos is how you hear it seemingly for the first time then repeat it whilst explaining the theory behind it!
Man I'm so glad I found you a few years back. You truly understand music and it's so refreshing. Especially when its artists I've followed for a long time.
I went and saw Alexis live for the first time in over 10 years and I swear I teared up a few times. Especially when Dallas played Happiness. But then I got lucky AF, with a little patience, and was able to meet him after the show. I can't tell you how incredibly surreal and incredible it was to be able to hug your musical idol's neck, tell him thank you, and how much his music has motivated and inspired you. And the fact that he's so nice, so chill, and so humble just makes him that much more incredible of a person and artist. Thank God his voice was discovered!!
I have loved Alice In Chains since I was a kid! Then I got into City And Colour. Then I realized he would cover Alice In Chains tunes & tonight I stumbled upon this one. I had a similar reaction. I got obsessed with right away with Dallas Greens cover, picked up my guitar & started working on my own, so simple & similar to his. When I was a teenager, I never thought I'd be 46, sitting on my bed, fooling around with an Alice In Chains song @ 5am 😄✌️💙🎵🤙
So good. We saw City and Colour at the State Theater in Ithaca NY a few years back and it was otherworldly. The sound was so lush it felt like you could swim through it.
This was incredible to watch during the MoPop AIC induction show. Thank you for capturing all of our (who appreciates DC and his style) same reactions. (I too teared up at Dal's sweet smooth tones)
When i heard some Dallas Green years ago, I noticed the dichotomy of the "dead" sounding acoustic guitar and his angelic beautiful soft voice. I NEVER wanted to my acoustic guitars to sound dead or haunting. Now i have one just for that purpose ❤
Alexisonfire was predominantly from my home town, St. Catharines...Dallas I believe is from Toronto. He came to town and was the first act to play our new performing arts center...quick Wiki check, he is from St. Catharines!
Hearing Alexisonfire in 2004 got started my search for Dallas’s first ep for so long. Like Knives hit hard for me at the time. Only saw Alexisonfire once live, but I got to tell Dallas how much the song touched me. Been a fan for so long!
Awesome. Huge City and Colour fan. Check out the song Sleeping Sickness with another Canadian great, Gord Downey. Also, You + Me with Dallas Geen and P!nk. Amazing stuff.
I have seen a lot of bands and singers perform. The strength of his voice in person is probably a top 3. As good as you think the recording is, I guarantee the room would still blow you away.
AIC is one of those bands that will live in my heart forever. I think they are so underrated and hearing their songs in context like this just proves how brilliant they were as songwriters and what kind of an emotional punch all of their music brought. THANKS Michael. This one crushed me!
What more do you want ! Michael’s reaction / emotions, great song, played by such an Angelic Voice in a lumberjack coat (happy to be a Canadian). Thanks Michael for sharing this with us, and Dallas for such a stellar and spellbinding performance ,,, I can’t stop playing this. :-)
Yes! Thank you for this. Dusted off my insides and exposed my deeply embedded AIC love. I haven’t heard that song in a loooong time - remembering those times and concerts now; love what music does - gets you back there in a moment, one note. Just, yes.
Dallas has a very rare genetic mutation that allows his lungs and larynx to produce honey butter sprinkled with gold dust. Unreal.
very well said.
Dude, clearly it's maple syrup butter. No gold dust necessary.
He is a freak of nature
100% 😍😍
100
The original version of this song is one Layne’s best choruses ever. So powerful and haunting. Dallas Green pushes it to a place I never thought possible. Masterful performance.
Different but equally moving.
Isnt the most original the original?
@@lnu2372 your comment makes zero sense.
@@michaelbolanowski7390 lol oops. I read your comment wrong haha. I thought you were saying someone else had the most original version of the actual original. My bad
I think this is a good sign you need to react to more city and colour. Everything this man touches is gold
some might even say "silver and gold" ;)
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Anything Alice In Chains
I second this! Un-thinkable (I'm Ready) - Alicia Keys cover is legit.
@@frankj8773 dallas in chains
Dallas Green is one of the greatest and most underrated musicians of our time.
Dallas' voice is absolutely unreal. If there is a heaven, Layne is up there and listened to this and smiled.
His concerts are an experience. Haunting, intense, beautiful. One of my faves
Nothing like it. An experience that's hard to explain. Have to experience it to know
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
My husband and I have seen him three times alone, twice in Kansas City, once in Tennessee, and in May we took our 6 and 14 year old to see him in Saint Louis. He is incredible AND anyone who opens for him is ALSO astonishing!
❤❤❤❤❤
Coming from an old Alexisonfire fan, when Dallas put out the first City and Colour album it was the reason I picked up my dad's acoustic for the first time in like two years.

Clicked this so fast. God I love Dallas Green...
seen him a few times and he's magic.
Dallas Green a top 5 voice of all time. He's perfect every time

Right?!
Yes, The Hurry and the Harm is my favourite C&C album! 🇨🇦
That's because nowadays, you don't make the news by having talent but by DON'T having talent^^
HIM, not them
His cover of nutshell is awesome too
his corver of alicia keys too, so great
Two Coins is fire, and Un-thinkable (I'm Ready) killer.
Just downloaded ALL of his albums. Right up my street... your channel continues to introduce me to new music. Really appreciated.
woof!
Bring me your love helped me through a lot of tough times. I recommend it. My #1 all time.
Don't forget his metal band Alexisonfire!
You are in for such a treat. You are probably going to get taken to some unfamiliar/uncomfortable places emotionally. But my god just let it happen. I'd love to know which album is your favorite.
Welcome to the City and Colour family. Dallas Green is AMAZING. You NEED to see him in person though.
oh wow! I'm a huge fan of AIC and Rain when I die is one of my most favorite song , but I didn't know City and Colour and I am floored! What a great cover. What a voice! What a tone! Thank you fot this reaction
YES!!
Look up "sleeping sickness".... You're welcome lol
Dallas Green deserves to be so much more known than he is. Its a shame. I have seen him twice live and its like nothing id ever seen before. I wish he got more recognition
Listen to his song the grand optimist. Gets me every time.
Little Hell stayed in the car stereo for a solid 2 years. Love City and Colour

One of my all time favourite videos, nice to see someone who was there recount it!
I've seen City and Colour twice and he is an unworldly talent. Actually the last time I saw him he opened with a full acoustic set opening for Alice in Chains. He said it was a bucket list performance for him since that was his favourite band ever
This performance touches a deep spot of my soul that brings me to my knees every single time I hear it. Absolutely awesome!
Dude, not only do you give the best breakdowns of songs, I find the coolest songs and artists through you. Never stop 👍🏼
I’ve come back to this video several times. I would love to see some more City and Colour video
Seeing the moment you choked up and got emotional, man... This is the ONLY cover I have ever heard that just absolutely delivers on the emotion that Layne projected. Dallas even made it his own and I think that made it more incredible.
Dallas has been a BIG go-to for me for years! Love this...
When you don't want to play over him, you know he's good. Love that dude's voice.

Saw him with city and Colour a couple months ago and he walks into the stage and immediately said ' who wants to get emotional with me tonight?'.
HUGE AIC fan. Came across this song and singer today! I am blown away!!!!!

I've seen city and colour 6 times and got to hang with Dallas backstage alongside Tegan and Sara, just so down to earth, yet so so talented.
That's so cool! I don't think I'll be able to do that in Canada. I'll be seeing him on december 4th in Montreal. I'll make my own t-shirt for the occasion as always because I love doing that.

Literally gets better every time you hear it. Amazing.
DALLAS IS A CITY GREEN IS A COLOUR. i can’t believe he live reacted to this Post Hardcore-Emo-Nu Age Dad rock LEGEND
I feel fucking privileged to be alive at the same time as Dallas Green.
I think he is one of the greatest artists of all time...and I don't say that lightly.
The most impressive thing about all of your videos is how you hear it seemingly for the first time then repeat it whilst explaining the theory behind it!
Seen him in concert twice moved to tears as well. I love his voice so so much!
The tuning in case anyone wants it, E standard with the A tuned up to B
Thank you!
Thank you! I spent probably 20 minutes staring at his hands trying to figure out how he made that chord!
Thank you so much, I've been trying to figure that out for so long!
Also I'm pretty sure it's all a half step flat, most of AiC's stuff is
His cover of Nutshell is one of my favorite songs I have ever listened to
Now you need to do some alexisonfire !!
Love how much you love music man! Greatest channel on TH-cam.
Dallas is just simply amazing. this cover is simply flawless.
Man I'm so glad I found you a few years back. You truly understand music and it's so refreshing. Especially when its artists I've followed for a long time.
Dallas is the man. What a clever band name from his name. I've always loved that
Funny though, songs like this are a reason to live.
I went and saw Alexis live for the first time in over 10 years and I swear I teared up a few times. Especially when Dallas played Happiness.

So good. We saw City and Colour at the State Theater in Ithaca NY a few years back and it was otherworldly. The sound was so lush it felt like you could swim through it.
This was incredible to watch during the MoPop AIC induction show. Thank you for capturing all of our (who appreciates DC and his style) same reactions. (I too teared up at Dal's sweet smooth tones)
Your reaction brought me to tears the same way Dallas did with this cover when I heard that for the very first time. He's pure genius
One of my top 3 AIC songs, thanks for this version!
It's genuinely fighting how intense an acoustic cover can be when it's done right.
When i heard some Dallas Green years ago, I noticed the dichotomy of the "dead" sounding acoustic guitar and his angelic beautiful soft voice. I NEVER wanted to my acoustic guitars to sound dead or haunting. Now i have one just for that purpose ❤
Dallas some how has gotten so much better with age. He was already amazing, but somehow still evolves year after year.
Utterly remarkable. The best thing I’ve heard in a very very long time
Truth!
Alexisonfire was predominantly from my home town, St. Catharines...Dallas I believe is from Toronto. He came to town and was the first act to play our new performing arts center...quick Wiki check, he is from St. Catharines!
Neil Peart and RUSH fan too?
@@pitpride1220 heck yeah. Peart is from here as well...city is trying to come up with some type of memorial for him.
Saw him live a few years ago at The Playhouse, just him and a stool and a microphone and a guitar. It was stunning.
Glad ya did this, when I first heard this it legitimately FLOORED me.
I can't stop listening to this cover, and now you come along and do this...
Bro your reaction was so fucking amazing!!!
I saw that tribute live and I was blown away too
Also, you GOTTA give Katie Pruitt a listen! She’s an incredible talent from GA that deserves as much attention as possible
So proud of my fellow Canadian. Cheers from Toronto. Dallas never disappoints, ever.
Hearing Alexisonfire in 2004 got started my search for Dallas’s first ep for so long. Like Knives hit hard for me at the time. Only saw Alexisonfire once live, but I got to tell Dallas how much the song touched me. Been a fan for so long!
Melodic mastery Love it! Thanks for sharing this Michael.
His name is Dallas Green... 30 million Canadians.." we know". Thanks Michael! Love to see him get some love.
As you know but not many do, he was apart of the ONLY band ever! AOF
PRetty much my reaction when I first heard that too. Holy shit man I wasnt ready
I love seeing your reaction. The only thing my brother and I ever get along over is music. Glad to see others are like us
Amazing. I saw him live with Shakey graves a few years back. Absolutely amazing. He is a Canadian treasure.
Dallas stole the show! Since this has came out in Jan, I think I've watched it about 30times.
Dallas Green is my favorite recording artist of all time.
Really enjoyed your reaction! This version gives me ALL the feels each time I hear it. Dallas is incredible.
Awesome. Huge City and Colour fan. Check out the song Sleeping Sickness with another Canadian great, Gord Downey.
Also, You + Me with Dallas Geen and P!nk. Amazing stuff.
Yes! Wish we could get another You+Me album. They sound great together. Dallas is amazing.
glad you made a video of dallas! hes a gem. happiness by the kilowatt is one of the best
I have seen a lot of bands and singers perform. The strength of his voice in person is probably a top 3. As good as you think the recording is, I guarantee the room would still blow you away.
AIC is one of those bands that will live in my heart forever. I think they are so underrated and hearing their songs in context like this just proves how brilliant they were as songwriters and what kind of an emotional punch all of their music brought. THANKS Michael. This one crushed me!
And Michael, please please please do Willie Watson. You won't be disappointed.
What more do you want ! Michael’s reaction / emotions, great song, played by such an Angelic Voice in a lumberjack coat (happy to be a Canadian). Thanks Michael for sharing this with us, and Dallas for such a stellar and spellbinding performance ,,, I can’t stop playing this. :-)
Man.... i watched Dallas open for Alice in chains all by himself in london ontario. Amazing
Love Dallas, and such an amazing cover - goosebumps!
Yes! Thank you for this. Dusted off my insides and exposed my deeply embedded AIC love. I haven’t heard that song in a loooong time - remembering those times and concerts now; love what music does - gets you back there in a moment, one note. Just, yes.
Thanks again my man. Like I have said before...helps more than just you!
