      +thisiskris017 he may not be best of best, but how is that an insult? As a modern artist, he speaks with his music in a way few other people of this generation can.

    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.

    In my mind Dallas will go down as one of the greatest song writers of his time!!! his songs hit that perfect spot in your soul that no other songwriter had done for me.

    Every live performance dallas does blows me away, whether with c&c or AOF, hes the only vocalist that sounds undeniably BETTER live than on a record. It's insane how good his voice is.

    So go on
    And I will refrain
    And I'll keep on running this never ending race
    Maybe next time will be the right time
    And maybe next time will be your time
    So save your scissors
    For someone else's skin
    My surface is so tough
    I don't think the blade will dig in
    Save your strength
    Save your wasted time
    There's no way that I want you to be left behind
    Go on save your scissors
    Save your scissors
    So why does it always seem
    That every time I turn around
    Somebody falls in love with me
    This has never been my soul intention
    And I have never claimed to have patents on such inventions
    Just save your scissors
    For someone else's skin
    My surface is so tough
    I don't think the blade will dig in
    Save your strength
    Save your wasted time
    There's no way that I want you to be left behind
    Go on save your scissors
    Save your scissors
    There is something that I must confess to you tonight
    To you tonight
    And that is I expect nothing less from you tonight
    From you tonight
    Go on save your scissors
    Save your scissors
    Save your scissors

    The great thing with Dallas is that you can watch the same song 4 times in 8 different versions :D
    I like musicians who are famous already but still avoid to try selling the same song under a new name each and every year.

    Certainly possible, the prize for winning the Guitar Center songwriter contest was a four song EP with Dallas. Music is like ice cream everyone has favorite flavors. Certainly no one sings like Dallas go see him live.

    What kind of wizard tuning allows him to play the lead while ripping through the rhythm?

    • @matthewparker1592
      @matthewparker1592 8 років тому +8

      +Arg Etect EBDGCe, it's actually super simple to play when you get your guitar tuned to that. Dallas actually seems to use this tuning a lot.

    • @argetect2847
      @argetect2847 8 років тому +3

      Thanks for taking the time to send me that. I had already found it, and you're right, super easy little tune. Difficult to get all the little nuances and little variations he throws in there, but the main riff/pattern isn't impossible.

    @benfleming6936 8 років тому +2

    Is it me or does dallas look so tired and bored recently. After the hurry and the harm i think he may have lost something; maybe passion, maybe he's fine. I just think you can tell in his voice and his eyes that he's just so warn out.

    • @WAMMO678
      @WAMMO678 8 років тому +2

      +ben fleming I'd argue the opposite. Might just be this video because he's played this tune a million times, but lately he's look like he's enjoying himself a bit more to me, maybe since he's more or less in a band again since the new album. Saw him a little under a week ago and he was running around and jumping about and getting into it. Seemed like he adored playing Women. I think he's just really bored of playing all these old songs. The only song off of sometimes he's playing right now is a very heavily modified full band version of hello I'm in Delaware. Not even this or Comin' Home. But I'd say if he wasn't digging it any more he'd give it up.
