Hearing your tears in this song really get to me. So many more than likely think this is directed at a girlfriend of family member, but you can clearly hear Dallas speaking to HUMANITY as a whole. Second verse especially gets me. “We look to the heavens above for advice all our lives, searching for God in the bottoms of bottles, and in strangers eyes. We’re living in desperation, drowning in medication, lost in the folly of our age...” damn
It's the voice, the words, the emotion...this stuff hits me in my heart everytime. I swear there's a chamber in there with an old record player that plays this stuff on repeat...his haunting reminders of my pain echo off the walls...something like a murderous lullaby; it cuts deep, the wound seeps, I'm bleeding out but damn I keep hitting that repeat
@@drumking3188 No I don't do any of that...my Momma used to say I had a way with words as well; she wrote poetry. I thank you for the smile today Love and Light💛
Ashley Archer I agree with drum. This song reminds me of a man hunt exactly a year ago when two Canadians from B.C. killed two Australian tourists and a local. The killers were on the run until end of august I believe after tracing their steps eventually they found them deceased in the woods in northern Manitoba. All Canadians were on edge wondering what would essentially happen. It’s a very interesting however very sad scenario.
Your comment makes me feel like we should be friends. 🙂 You really do have a way with words and perfectly explained how this song makes me feel. Hope you're well
If Alexisonfire and City and Colour drop new albums around the same time i'm going to lose my shit. And with the amount of singles coming out lately, I wouldn't be surprised.
This song reminds me of my lost wife. Chyrle I will always love you my dear even though we can’t be together right now. We will see one another again hun and we can love one another again. Love you always your John for life and beyond. God I miss you loving me. Hun you are always in my dreams xoxo.
Anybody else notice how Dallas said his heart was awake in Astronaut but in strangers he says his heart is still and asleep. They're like polar opposite singles. Amazing.
Did you notice Smoothgrass spends his time writing edgy comments on UA-cam to get a reaction because he lives an unfulfilled life with no friends or apparent purpose?
We look to the heavens above for advice on our lives Searching for God at the bottoms of bottles and in strangers' eyes We're living in desperation, drowning in medication Lost in the folly of our age
All the melodic chords in this song really sound like Alexis. I love that he's back in 2 different bands right now. It's really influencing this album in an awesome way.
This my be the best year for new music! Bon iver, lumineers, black keys, head and the heart, and now He has new music!! Indie music fans we are blessed!
I’m so happy I found this song going through one the hardest times of my life. I was in a very dark spot and was ready to go away forever this song pulled me from that thank you so much for writing this beautiful song it gave me hope when I didn’t have any
Cesar, you have woken me up from feeling obsolete. We were strangers in this land. Teaching me how to live again and waking up my sleeping heart. You are my Angel from Heaven above. Friends Forever More ❤️❤️
Finally! They were playing this song at work and was trying to figure out the lyrics. I finally found it, and it’s even more beautiful than I imagined😭
See this I why I love artists like Dallas.. sonny Moore.. etc.. if you look at there older music.. and compare it too now.. they knew how to move with the times. It's genius beyond comprehension. Love it.
Don't wake me when this is over And just let me drift amidst my dreams I need to regain composure And right now, my heart is still and asleep [Pre-Chorus] I refuse to believe That we've become so obsolete Don't wake me when this is over 'Cause I need to find the time lost in between [Chorus] If we get back (Get back) To lovin' each other (Lovin' each other) Can we get back (Get back) To learnin' how to live? We are strangers in this land With so much left to discover Can we get back (Get back) To learnin' how to live? [Verse 2] We look to the heavens above for advice on our lives Searchin' for God at the bottoms of bottles And in strangers' eyes We're living in desperation, drownin' in medication Lost in the folly of our age [Chorus] If we get back (Get back) To lovin' each other (Lovin' each other) Can we get back (Get back) To learnin' how to live? We are strangers in this land With so much left to discover Can we get back (Get back) To learnin' how to live? We are strangers in this land We are strangers in this land
So amazingly happy to hear the 2nd verse is from his unreleased live song back in 2008/2009. Bummed that we probably won't get a proper recording of it though. Chills all over!
Love that I'm getting new music from my 2 favorite artists this month, silversun pickups and now City and Colour. I hope we get more random songs like this before the new album drops next year.
you will never truly know another human being, […] You’ll never really understand what it’s like to be inside someone else’s brain or heart. So, we need to appreciate the differences. If we do, maybe we can live better with one another.”
Literally had a mental breakdown a few years ago, this is one of songs i forgot about, lost my wife, my kid and everything I loved, UA-cam brought me back.
This song was on multiple times a day at my work (Customer Service BC LIquor) for the first six months of Covid & then never again. I love it though. It was playing before that too but i've def noticed i haven't heard it now in years at work.
Get the new album "The Love Still Held Me Near" at cityandcolour.com ✌
Really liking the vibe of this track. Perfect for a night time drive.
true !
It's the only place I hear music!
This song always gets turned up on a drive
my favourite thing to do, on any given night
I'm driving in the dark as I type this lol

@Ashley Archer Hi... You have quite a way with words. Do you write lyrics or poetry? If not you should..... Great comment!

Well it seems Ashley that you have the courage to keep feeling so you can grow.
Your comment makes me feel like we should be friends. 🙂 You really do have a way with words and perfectly explained how this song makes me feel. Hope you're well

Why
I'd cum everywhere honestly
@@itskerbs That was unnecessarily hillarious
did u lose your shit
This song reminds me of my lost wife. Chyrle I will always love you my dear even though we can’t be together right now. We will see one another again hun and we can love one another again. Love you always your John for life and beyond. God I miss you loving me. Hun you are always in my dreams xoxo.
😭😭😭 I'm so sorry for your loss
F, hope you’re still staying strong, especially for your wife’s sake :)
I love you man, stay strong and carry on the spirit of love you shared with her
Keep it up man. You are strong and she have been lucky to be loved by you. All the best.
it's never goodbye, it's only a farewell
hope you're doing OK bro!
Dallas has made my life so much easier, whenever I am down I always turn to his lovely music
Dallas is THE BEST! I met him 3 years ago and he was so kind. Loving the new songs!
Anybody else notice how Dallas said his heart was awake in Astronaut but in strangers he says his heart is still and asleep. They're like polar opposite singles. Amazing.
We live in a duality brother. On and off. 💚
Yup! Good stuff..
Did you notice Smoothgrass spends his time writing edgy comments on UA-cam to get a reaction because he lives an unfulfilled life with no friends or apparent purpose?
Its his AIDS talkin.
We look to the heavens above for advice on our lives
Searching for God at the bottoms of bottles and in strangers' eyes
We're living in desperation, drowning in medication
Lost in the folly of our age
This song has such an indescribable vibe to it that I absolutely love
So glad to be Canadian too

City and Colour will always be timeless to me.
See this I why I love artists like Dallas.. sonny Moore.. etc.. if you look at there older music.. and compare it too now.. they knew how to move with the times. It's genius beyond comprehension. Love it.
This one never gets old
Don't wake me when this is over
And just let me drift amidst my dreams
I need to regain composure
And right now, my heart is still and asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
I refuse to believe
That we've become so obsolete
Don't wake me when this is over
'Cause I need to find the time lost in between
[Chorus]
If we get back (Get back)
To lovin' each other (Lovin' each other)
Can we get back (Get back)
To learnin' how to live?
We are strangers in this land
With so much left to discover
Can we get back (Get back)
To learnin' how to live?
[Verse 2]
We look to the heavens above for advice on our lives
Searchin' for God at the bottoms of bottles
And in strangers' eyes
We're living in desperation, drownin' in medication
Lost in the folly of our age
[Chorus]
If we get back (Get back)
To lovin' each other (Lovin' each other)
Can we get back (Get back)
To learnin' how to live?
We are strangers in this land
With so much left to discover
Can we get back (Get back)
To learnin' how to live?
We are strangers in this land
We are strangers in this land
Need this in acoustic Dallas. As always, great work!
''Can we get back (Get back)
To learning how to live?
We are strangers in this land
With so much left to discover'' ♥

Man this song still hits so hard, if you haven't seen it live - from the bottom of my heart, it's so filling. 🙏🏼💜
This song hit so hard just now, i love it.
The rift/chorus is awesome and fits the song well
So amazingly happy to hear the 2nd verse is from his unreleased live song back in 2008/2009. Bummed that we probably won't get a proper recording of it though. Chills all over!
