Today my wife went into hospital to have major surgery, one to enable us to have children. We listened to the new album on our hour drive to the hospital in silence, just in awe and with emotion about what was in front of us. We felt that in some way this album being released on such a huge day for us was a sign. After all, his music has been with us for every key moment of our lives. The surgery was a success. If we have a boy, he will be called Dallas.
Song is incredible... music.. the tune... lyrics... the story... its all why i fell in love with City and Colour in the first place. This album is gonna be amazing! Love from Estonia
Lucky enough to find this man 11 years ago and I’m still so incredibly proud of what he’s done. This album is a masterpiece and one of his best yet. This song alone is one of his best ever. The vocals, lyrics, instrumentation. It’s all perfect
I know you don’t like comments, but this one I had to send. Been listing to you well over 20 years, favourite artist the whole time. My 40th birthday falls on the date of your Budweiser Stage show (aug 25), and my wife bought floor tickets for us. Coincidentally, Ben Harper is playing as well, who was our first band to see live together AND ‘Forever’ is our wedding song (12 years ago) Your new album is nothing less than amazing. Thank you for all the years of solid music, you’re a true Canadian gem, Dallas. Take care, and I look forward to the show in August.
I do miss just him and his acoustic though.. This song would be excellent without the layering.. Not hating but just takes away from his original authenticity
❤❤❤❤❤ [Verse 1] Awake, awake, my darling The moon is down The waves, the waves, they are crashing all around What would you do? What would you say, if I was gone? Losing your breath Toil and sweat Just hold on [Chorus] If you say it now Leave no doubt You'd shatter the earth It's where I will be found 'Cause the love still held me near Say it now Then time will disappear [Verse 2] Awake, awake, my darling From your beautiful dream Save me from my sorrow Which burns eternally Oh, hammer me down Into the fire, I am reborn Let love's energy pour into me I am yours [Chorus] If you say it now Leave no doubt You'd shatter the earth It's where I will be found 'Cause the love still held me near Say it now And time will disappear [Bridge] On still waters the sky lay its head Hope is hanging on by a thread [Chorus] Say it now Leave no doubt Shatter the earth It's where I will be found 'Cause the love still held me near Say it now And time will disappear
Michael, I love the simplicity of this video. That long, slow pullout was so good I began to hope it was the entire video. Excellent job as always on Dallas' work. Dallas...I mean, what is there to say? I bet your burps are melodious and pure. Stellar work is what I expect from you after 20 years, and it's what you continue to deliver. Looking forward to listening to the whole album.
Another masterpiece... It's so great to be a fan of City and Colour and communicate with you Friends! It feels like we are watching the development of something that so soulful and just magnificent! 👏📀🎶🎧🌃
My life has been changing quite dramatically for the better as of recently. It feels like the beginning of a new chapter. This album is a gift at the right time. Appreciate you and your pals for the hard work that goes into these albums. Its a work that will outlive us all. Also, dig on how simple this video is. Cheers
You never cease to deliver my man. Been a fan for 15yrs and this song has a mix of your beginning days and your later growth. Much ❤️ you’re awesome af
I've been listening to a lot of your older music for years now. It's stuff that I picked up around high school, and played on repeat all the time while drawing. Mostly the Bring Me Your Love album, but also a good bit of Sometimes and Little Hell. A lot of those songs are still ones that inspire me to create, with Against the Grain and What Makes a Man? being two of my particular favorites. I've never had a very good memory for music, as much as I enjoy it. I don't really retain lyrics well, and I often need to be listening to at least the melody to recall lyrics well. I don't even remember song titles or artist names well, unfortunately. I just remember songs that I like, and I keep returning to them over and over again in my playlists. Your songs have always had such a provocative atmosphere that stands out to me though. They're relaxing, soft, melodic, and the lyrics resonate when I listen. I honestly never thought to look into your newer music much, and I've found myself doing that with a lot of artists I enjoy. I find 1, maybe 2 or 3, of their albums, get comfy with them, and hold onto those and just don't even consider looking for more. Not really sure why, and it's something I've been trying to break out from so I can give a chance to newer pieces from the artists I love and appreciate. I was reading an article this morning about you discussing this newest album, and what it all meant to you, and how your voice has changed and how that's affected your music. I hate to admit that I was nervous to come looking for your new songs because of that, because I wanted to fall in love with your new music like I had with your old and wasn't sure if I would. Which is a selfish thought, but was there all the same. But I'm loving this already. This is the first song I've listened to of your newer work, and it's so clearly yours, in all of the best ways. It's different, but it's the same in ways I really can't explain. And I'm just finding myself glad to get to listen to it, and to see how your work hasn't only stayed wonderful but has improved as you've grown as an artist. I'm so glad that you're still creating and sharing your work. I wish I'd gone looking for more of it sooner. Even if your work had changed more drastically, it still would've been wonderful just to get to see How it's changed. I'm going to keep drawing to your music, and I'll be collecting some new pieces to add to my playlists to do so. Thank you for your wonderful music
The only time I feel remotely close to you by listening to the 🎵 c we listened too. You are deeply missed. Its been 1year now since I saw your amazing face
I can not tell you how this album has made me feel. I’m not that old, still want to have another child but can’t and have a surgery date for a hysterectomy. This album has brought my voice back. I have sang almost every song and am in love with the front to the back of it. Thank you Dallas. Have loved you since the beginning of the AOF days.
This song is everything. It speaks to my soul on a whole other level. Every album he’s done over the years has been so pivotal for me in my growth. Forever grateful ❤

I found it! The song was called "What makes a Man". It's as beautiful today as it was way back then.
Where did the visual album go? I'm not done enjoying that!

When you need something to pick you up. This song is all you'll ever need.
My new fave band
That guitar sound in the background is brilliant. Amazing tone.
Matchless amp. Vintage fender jazzmaster with gold foil pickups
heck yeah
@@ghist420 Nothing beats that lovely sound. Organic as hell.
Dallas, you have created a masterpiece yet again. Incredibly beautiful album. Thank you so much! ❤

I can’t stop listening to the new album. Fell in love with your music all over again ❤

This album has already given me so much, and it's just been one day ❤
Honestly you have saved my life.
Pervasive guitar riffs, hard hitting pocket drummer, the timing signature, amazing vocals. This song is literally perfect 🙌🏽
❤❤❤❤❤
[Verse 1]
Awake, awake, my darling
The moon is down
The waves, the waves, they are crashing all around
What would you do?
What would you say, if I was gone?
Losing your breath
Toil and sweat
Just hold on
[Chorus]
If you say it now
Leave no doubt
You'd shatter the earth
It's where I will be found
'Cause the love still held me near
Say it now
Then time will disappear
[Verse 2]
Awake, awake, my darling
From your beautiful dream
Save me from my sorrow
Which burns eternally
Oh, hammer me down
Into the fire, I am reborn
Let love's energy pour into me
I am yours
[Chorus]
If you say it now
Leave no doubt
You'd shatter the earth
It's where I will be found
'Cause the love still held me near
Say it now
And time will disappear
[Bridge]
On still waters the sky lay its head
Hope is hanging on by a thread
[Chorus]
Say it now
Leave no doubt
Shatter the earth
It's where I will be found
'Cause the love still held me near
Say it now
And time will disappear
