@@chrismilligan3714me too i dine alone everyday, come to Vancouver BC, February 8th, we ll have a diner together and then we could to the concert ;) (Don t look, it s a Thursday , i m telling you)
Unlike any other musician, Dallas has been able to consistently access an otherwise impenetrable core of emotions with graceful precision. What a profound artistic gift.
Legit cry whenever I hear this song in particular....I've lost so many friends since I moved here to oregon.... his pain is real and you can FEEL it when he sings. ❤️
I know right his Music just hits you so hard… so relatable… like he’s walked in your shoes and experienced exactly what you’ve been going through but had the intelligence to write it down and create gold… with everything he releases
City and Colour helped me through the darkest days of my life. Helped me make it through years of depression from a decade long abusive, toxic relationship. They continue to help me and I will forever be grateful to them. This song is absolutely incredible and so heartfelt. Their music just has a way of speaking to and soothing your soul. Thank you CandC 🖤
When I grew up I had big city dreams I wondered if the Bible was wrong What the hell were they teaching me? I was lost in thought And I could not hide it But the sun, it kept on rising So, I played along But now that you're gone And I write down this song I don't believe this is how it's meant to be The church bells they ring You can hear the mourners sing They still believe This is how it's meant to be The wheels touch down All I can see is your face Amidst the noise of the lights The last thing on my mind was my faith And then the morning came And the sun started rising But I was missing my friend So, how do I carry on? 'Cause now that you're gone And I write down this song I don't believe this is how it's meant to be The church bells they ring You can hear the mourners sing They still believe This is how it's meant to be Like a mother bird crying out for its young I will sing it loud with all the might in my lungs Cause now that you're gone And I write down this song I don't believe this is how it's meant to be The church bells they ring You can hear the mourners sing They still believe This is how it's meant to be Oh, how it's meant to be
I just want to comment on this and say that I cannot wait to hear some more of the soundtrack to my life. My fiance had passed away a few years back but when I first met him I had asked him one question like I asked every person that I meet the first time I asked what is your favorite song because people's favorite songs can say a lot about them. Well he had told me that his favorite song was I'm coming home from City And Color. That was the first time I heard of this band it was definitely not the last time I listened to their music. This had to be about 2014 or so. Now ever since then every song that I've heard and every album that has come up since has been right alongside the soundtrack of my life. My fiance lost his battle to drugs in 2019 I lost everything that I had ever loved and everything I ever had my home my car everything I even lost my hair but somehow I found the way to keep going. His name was Sean he was an artist he was also a singer and a guitar player in a local band that he started when he was in high school he was 42 years old when he passed and he introduced me to a great band now he had been listening to sitting in color since before when they was actually Alexis on fire and got me listening to some of that music also and I can't believe what an amazing voice this man has and what beautiful music that I had been lucky enough to getting the chance to see who they were. I can't wait to hear the the new Soundtrack to My Life it's been a long time coming thank you for being such a beautiful voice in this evil world your music will forever be close to my heart seeing it as though all the music has lined up to my life since the day I met the man that I lost thank you
Hey I really hope ur doing ok life can just suck no matter what u do about it I’ve struggled with drugs since I was 14 I’m 33 sober going on 3 years thanks to methadone and my family some people are against it but it saved my life I just wanted comment nd say thank u for sharing ur story nd Sean story as well this band has also helped me mentally through 9 years In prison nd sobriety I just hope ur feeling ok sending u some amazing vibes from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 thank u again for sharing it helps other people share I think
Sorry to hear about your loss, Jennifer. My girlfriend Katie died in 2020 at the age of 27. We were both City and Colour fans, and the last concert we went to together was his Toronto show in November 2019. His music brings up a mixture of emotions for me, but when I heard this song, it sounded so familiar, like I was listening to it with her. Thanks for sharing your story, from someone who understands what loss and grief feels like.
This is my sisters UA-cam account. But one day.. i hope she come back here to see how much i loved her and the music i showed her. Pickle... i love you. ❤
As a 65 year old man, I heard this song for the first time on Spotify flying back home to South Carolina. I’m not an overly emotional person, but the tears started streaming down my face in mid-flight…such a powerful song!
I met Dallas Green outside a venue in Tulsa OK after seeing him and Marlon Williams. My brother and I had been listening to him since Alexisonfire days, so we were pretty starstruck. Before we ever got to talk to him, he stood there and talked to this girl who loved him even more than we did for what must have been 30 minutes. Afterward he still came over to us and talked to us for another 10 minutes, signed some stuff and took some pictures. I've never seen an artist devote that kind of time to random fans he'd never known previously. I was already a big fan, but became a life-long one that night. Bless you Dallas, love your work.
Someone shared this song with me tonight. I lost my best friend of 26 years back in 2009... These lyrics speak what I feel in my soul. Thank you for writing it and helping others dealing with loss...
Dallas Green, in my opinion, rivals the greatest lyricist of any generations. His music is bright and vibrant, yet poignant and emotional. You simply cannot listen to an album from City and Color. You have to live it. It defines the moment…it shapes the contours of your world. It makes you believe that it’s how its meant to be….
I've been a fan of City and Colour since college and Dallas Green's music has gotten me through some hard times. Thank you for your years of music, Mr Green!
This is the first album of Dallas’s that my brother won’t have been alive to hear- he introduced me to him back when Sometimes was his only solo record. I already know it’s gonna be devastating and beautiful and cathartic.
I was lucky enough to have gotten to work on this project as the Playback Operator, even though I was there it still is just so much better than I could have ever imagined. I love the emotions that clearly went into this song, and Michael as well as Jake Captured it so well in gorgeous Kodak Super 16mm FILM!!! Congratulations to EVERYONE else on crew who helped make this video come to life. Michael, Jake, Morgan, Melanie, Danielle, Fred, Spencer, Kevin, Faylen, Jonathan, Bryan, Reggie, Nico, Mads, Doc, Dave, Joe, Luke, Jordan, Isabella!!! Your hard work all shone through!
By the way, City and Colour is the artistic name of Dallas Green (the city and the color), a singer and guitar player from the band Alexisonfire. Mostly acoustic stuff, pretty amazing.
O gosh how do we begin. Um. Let's just say you stumbled upon someone that every single song they create is amazing. All his early work is breathtakingly
This song came out in the same week I lost one of my baby guinea pigs, and in a tragic way. I was kinda lost and it was really hard to accept the whole situation in which he passed away. So this song came along and I felt that "but I was missing my friend, so how do I carry on?" and "I don't believe this is how was meant to be" were... Meant to be. Thank you Dallas for writing many songs that I feel like resume some times of my life, they help me in my anxiety and also my anguish.
This song hits every single emotion. I lost my sister going on three years ago and we both (and the rest of my sisters) absolutely ADORE everything Dallas green.... its like you wrote this specifically for my life and I just can't get enough. Thank you for being you. Truly. You have saved me far more times then anyone will ever know. Your music is the only therapy that helps me. ❤️
@Marcio Novelli thank you so much but she is no longer suffering. 32 is far too young to pass away but it is much more comforting knowing that she is no longer a slave to addiction 🙏👌🤞❤️
@YONDU I'm literally bawling that anyone even responded to my comment, let alone such sweet and heart felt comments. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have no idea how much I needed to read this. Merry Christmas to you and yours. You've got a friend in me ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dallas it’s been the greatest 2 decades witnessing your growth. As a person and an artist. Thank you for your transparency and your passion you share with us. I look forward to many decades ahead of your art. **Literally the only artist I can play an entire discography without a single skip!*
I believe that all great artists like Dallas are the kind that immerse themselves into stories that all of us can relate to in some sort of way. Dallas is great at telling us his own story in such a meaningful and lyrical as well as musical sense that connects us and brings us together in our communal grief. It's poignant and we all need a song sometimes that we can rely on to help us through those dark, dark days
Every time I hear this song I think of my best friend Tyler. I miss him so much. Rest in peace you beautiful tattooed man. He made music too. Thank you for this song Dallas.
I lost my beautiful loving wife 2 weeks ago and this song was sent to me to help with healing. It hits the spot perfectly. Lovely to reconnect with C&C music nearly 20 years later, once again connecting with those stronger emotions of life as I move through it.
This is one of those songs for me that just deserves to be played at max volume. It's so beautiful and sad and touches my soul in a way i can't explain
This song hits me on such a personal level. Dallas, thank you for turning your grief into art for all of us to help cope with our losses. Rest in Peace Karl Bareham.
I've listened to this so many times that it's the soundtrack of my dreams at night. It's beautifully written from sorrow but shows light for any moment in time. Dallas this song is such an amazing work of art
This song truly overwhelms me with emotion at times. Absolutely breathtaking track. The bar is always incredibly high for Dallas and I keep wondering when we’ll see that typical drop in quality as an artist ages but it never happens. Absolutely astounding.
Oh, this song got my heart-strings. Definitely needed a good cry. Been holding it in for too, long. Lost a lot of family, and good friends the last couple of years, and this song helped me realize, its time to move on and live in their memory. To all who have lost a loved one, we must live for them.
I had front row tickets in St. Paul when his show got cancelled the same day … I’m in a wheelchair so the tickets were difficult to get since there are only a few … god had to bring Covid to stop the show last time but we are looking forward to seeing a rebooking of that show … I play guitar but can’t sing so …. I thought I would compliment you on your guitar chops a little … thanks for keeping it going as you can see it brings hope to many…. Peace
I cried the first time I heard this song knowing who and what it’s about. I’ve listened to it many times. I cried again watching the video. The shot of the horse in the middle of the video sent me sobbing. Dallas is a true artist.
It's my friend's birthday today. Mehn, I never really thought about how weird it is to wish someone HBD when they're dead until the passing of my friend to cancer earlier this year. He was in his early 40's, married less than 5yrs with 2 daughters under 4yrs old. I can't wish him HBD cuz ain't nothing happy about it to me. I heard this song a few days after his passing and the lyrics really spoke to me and expressed a lot of what I was feeling at the time and still do. Especially the line@2:12. Never even heard of the band, 'City and Colour' before but I'm glad I came across this song when I did! Thank you guys for writing this song, it's much appreciated! ❤😢🙏
A few weeks ago I went to my first City and Colour show. I had a huge expectation and the concert was even more amazing than I thought it would be. Meant to be was the first song and all I could think was my friend who passed away two years ago. Dallas, thank you for your music, it means the world to me and to many others.
My father passed , I live alone. Dallas was on 24/7. Whether city in colour, or alexisonfire, dark thoughs, sad, happy, joyfull, emotionals I never thought I had.. thankfully for the 46 years I got to spend with him.
City and colour’s album Bring me your love saved my life when I was living in my car when that album came out. I have since seen Dallas a handful of times live. All out of body experiences. Northern wind was the first dance song with my wife and I. Dallas has been spread all around the good and bad parts of my life. I owe Dallas Green my life honestly. During Covid I lost my best friend and best man. He saw city and colour live at the wiltern front row with me once. This song hits like no other, and once again Dallas plays a huge part in my life. And all I can say is - thank you. Grief is a fucking monster but this music is medicine. Thank you 🖤 Can’t wait for this new season of music to attach to moments in my life, and heal.
First heard this when I was on a train as the sun was rising. It reminded me of how much I miss my friend who passed away almost 3 years ago now. Last time I saw this friend, we saw C&C live in 2019. Now anytime I hear C&C I get sad 😞
Nossa, não tem como não amar esse homem, excelente musica! Há um tempo eu achei ter perdido minha fé, e cheguei a duvidar da existência de Deus, mas hoje, vejo completamente o contrário, depois de perceber uma vez que; depois da tempestade o sol nasce mais bonito, eu puder ver que na vida temos diversas dificuldades mas Deus sempre está com a gente e tudo é um propósito dEle para o nosso bem. Deus abençoe a vida de vocês!
My first girlfriend and best friend Chris passed away within two years of each other... She sent me "lay me down " a week before she died.... whatever God there is knows how I love and miss them both..I drive passed their graves everyday omw home... 🖤 🎶 It's 4 am and I haven't been to bed ... Happy Holidays everyone
My sister in laws father just passed away. His funeral is today, and this song is so beautifully designed for his daughter. Thank you for providing her some comfort in this devastating time.
I'll never forget that one time in Nottingham, where I got to have a photo with Dallas and us rocking our matching flannel shirts. My guy literally stepped out the van, fully expecting it. Makes it even 1000% better that the gig at Rock City after, was the single greatest one I've even been to. I met up with my ex, all my old friends and every one else who loves Alexisonfire. Thank you.
Proud to be canadian❤ when i hear dallas sing. My brother is getting married and this was always his favorite artist. He loved to play his songs on his acoustic guitar. And I'm thinking of singing a song by city and colour for him is wife at their wedding . Any suggestions?
Just seen these guys in Chesterfield last night and I gotta say, they fuckin killed it! Not my typical style as I'm a metalhead at heart but this music really speaks to me. If music has detail, talent, and most importantly soul, I'll like it and these guys for sure have it all.
Get the new album "The Love Still Held Me Near" at cityandcolour.com ✌

@LiamLeddy I saw him twice live, and it was an amazing experience both times. I could see him live 100 times and still be amazed❤️🙌🏾
@ I’ve seen him twice as well it was truly amazing to see him and . Hear his stories and sing from his voice and his heart.
That line "I was missing my friend" hits so hard
Very hard
that one has gotten me many times
Same. If you watch the live version it hits even harder. 😢
This is about him loosing a friend. 😢
Very hard
City and Colour helped me through the darkest days of my life. Helped me make it through years of depression from a decade long abusive, toxic relationship. They continue to help me and I will forever be grateful to them. This song is absolutely incredible and so heartfelt. Their music just has a way of speaking to and soothing your soul. Thank you CandC 🖤
Hope u have better days ahead

When I grew up
I had big city dreams
I wondered if the Bible was wrong
What the hell were they teaching me?
I was lost in thought
And I could not hide it
But the sun, it kept on rising
So, I played along
But now that you're gone
And I write down this song
I don't believe this is how it's meant to be
The church bells they ring
You can hear the mourners sing
They still believe
This is how it's meant to be
The wheels touch down
All I can see is your face
Amidst the noise of the lights
The last thing on my mind was my faith
And then the morning came
And the sun started rising
But I was missing my friend
So, how do I carry on?
'Cause now that you're gone
And I write down this song
I don't believe this is how it's meant to be
The church bells they ring
You can hear the mourners sing
They still believe
This is how it's meant to be
Like a mother bird crying out for its young
I will sing it loud with all the might in my lungs
Cause now that you're gone
And I write down this song
I don't believe this is how it's meant to be
The church bells they ring
You can hear the mourners sing
They still believe
This is how it's meant to be
Oh, how it's meant to be
Thank you.

Looks like everytime i am about to touch bottom, he drop something ❤
Same…2007 was a crazy year. I was an alexisonfire well before but then this music just hit that year.
@@cgunz same, what a band
This song is for my Aunts Uncles and my twin brother who isn’t with us. Thank you city and colour.
This is the first album of Dallas’s that my brother won’t have been alive to hear- he introduced me to him back when Sometimes was his only solo record. I already know it’s gonna be devastating and beautiful and cathartic.

This song gives me goosebumps
This song hits me on such a personal level. Dallas, thank you for turning your grief into art for all of us to help cope with our losses. Rest in Peace Karl Bareham.
I've listened to this so many times that it's the soundtrack of my dreams at night. It's beautifully written from sorrow but shows light for any moment in time. Dallas this song is such an amazing work of art
This is a band that doesn’t get enough recognition, his voice, OMG! ❤❤❤
This song truly overwhelms me with emotion at times. Absolutely breathtaking track. The bar is always incredibly high for Dallas and I keep wondering when we’ll see that typical drop in quality as an artist ages but it never happens. Absolutely astounding.
Oh, this song got my heart-strings. Definitely needed a good cry. Been holding it in for too, long. Lost a lot of family, and good friends the last couple of years, and this song helped me realize, its time to move on and live in their memory. To all who have lost a loved one, we must live for them.
I love your music. I wish I could see you before I go.
His voice gives me chills every time I listen to him. His voice is pure beauty. What a great song
I had front row tickets in St. Paul when his show got cancelled the same day … I’m in a wheelchair so the tickets were difficult to get since there are only a few … god had to bring Covid to stop the show last time but we are looking forward to seeing a rebooking of that show … I play guitar but can’t sing so …. I thought I would compliment you on your guitar chops a little … thanks for keeping it going as you can see it brings hope to many…. Peace

Sharing the emotions we all feel entangled in art and music is the beauty of the vibration that we all live amongst
I cried the first time I heard this song knowing who and what it’s about. I’ve listened to it many times. I cried again watching the video. The shot of the horse in the middle of the video sent me sobbing. Dallas is a true artist.
Wow just found this band. I’m floored
The mix on this song is great, panning on the guitars and the vocal harmonies are perfect

Precious! 10 month after hearing it first time, I'm back to say this song conforted me when my father passed away last august 2023.
As always, fills my soul...

It's my friend's birthday today. Mehn, I never really thought about how weird it is to wish someone HBD when they're dead until the passing of my friend to cancer earlier this year. He was in his early 40's, married less than 5yrs with 2 daughters under 4yrs old. I can't wish him HBD cuz ain't nothing happy about it to me. I heard this song a few days after his passing and the lyrics really spoke to me and expressed a lot of what I was feeling at the time and still do. Especially the line@2:12. Never even heard of the band, 'City and Colour' before but I'm glad I came across this song when I did! Thank you guys for writing this song, it's much appreciated! ❤😢🙏

Makes me think of my Mother. You said what I couldn't say. Thank you.

A few weeks ago I went to my first City and Colour show. I had a huge expectation and the concert was even more amazing than I thought it would be. Meant to be was the first song and all I could think was my friend who passed away two years ago. Dallas, thank you for your music, it means the world to me and to many others.
Just when we needed him, he returns 💛
It's insane how much emotion can be felt through mostly every song Dallas creates. Thank you.
Don't normally do this, but my Nana passed the day this came out. Everyone's favorite person! Amazing to everyone.
I lost one of my best friends, this past September. This song has hit me so hard but it’s helped me so much. I miss him so damn much…
This music and this band is just so vastly amazing, the sound just blasts you into spirit, just wow!
Can’t wait for this such a good tune. So amped for new city and colour!
My father passed , I live alone. Dallas was on 24/7. Whether city in colour, or alexisonfire, dark thoughs, sad, happy, joyfull, emotionals I never thought I had.. thankfully for the 46 years I got to spend with him.
Can’t wait for the new album! Such an amazing talent Dallas is.
Please continue to put out your amazing music! The world needs it so bad right now❤
Can’t get enough of this, each repeat uncovers another layer ❤
I'm a grown ass man, and I'm crying! 😢

My son Patrick, who is a musician shared a Dallas Green song years ago....and his voice gets me every time
Hi Sharon
Man U guys just never stop making the best dam music coming outa the best place in the world 🇨🇦 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
There are moments in life when our soul says something that shows we do know God. "This isn't how it was meant to be," is one of those things.
Dallas has a voice that angels would be jealous of.
Gord Downey once said almost the exact same.
City and colour’s album Bring me your love saved my life when I was living in my car when that album came out. I have since seen Dallas a handful of times live. All out of body experiences. Northern wind was the first dance song with my wife and I. Dallas has been spread all around the good and bad parts of my life. I owe Dallas Green my life honestly.
During Covid I lost my best friend and best man. He saw city and colour live at the wiltern front row with me once. This song hits like no other, and once again Dallas plays a huge part in my life.
And all I can say is - thank you.
Grief is a fucking monster but this music is medicine.
Thank you 🖤
Can’t wait for this new season of music to attach to moments in my life, and heal.
Stay strong
First heard this when I was on a train as the sun was rising. It reminded me of how much I miss my friend who passed away almost 3 years ago now. Last time I saw this friend, we saw C&C live in 2019. Now anytime I hear C&C I get sad 😞

Nossa, não tem como não amar esse homem, excelente musica! Há um tempo eu achei ter perdido minha fé, e cheguei a duvidar da existência de Deus, mas hoje, vejo completamente o contrário, depois de perceber uma vez que; depois da tempestade o sol nasce mais bonito, eu puder ver que na vida temos diversas dificuldades mas Deus sempre está com a gente e tudo é um propósito dEle para o nosso bem. Deus abençoe a vida de vocês!
OH MY ..... That was INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am FLOORED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My first girlfriend and best friend Chris passed away within two years of each other... She sent me "lay me down " a week before she died.... whatever God there is knows how I love and miss them both..I drive passed their graves everyday omw home... 🖤 🎶 It's 4 am and I haven't been to bed ... Happy Holidays everyone
Hang in there you beautiful soul
After more than 15 years, City and Colour is still the best.
This song is soul, means so much.
Wow that is beautiful

My sister in laws father just passed away. His funeral is today, and this song is so beautifully designed for his daughter. Thank you for providing her some comfort in this devastating time.
Even after all these years, I still get goosebumps every damn time. Thank you Dallas, for so much more than you could ever know.
I'll never forget that one time in Nottingham, where I got to have a photo with Dallas and us rocking our matching flannel shirts. My guy literally stepped out the van, fully expecting it. Makes it even 1000% better that the gig at Rock City after, was the single greatest one I've even been to. I met up with my ex, all my old friends and every one else who loves Alexisonfire. Thank you.
This is so beautiful 😭
Hi Darla
Well that was stunning
Proud to be canadian❤ when i hear dallas sing. My brother is getting married and this was always his favorite artist. He loved to play his songs on his acoustic guitar. And I'm thinking of singing a song by city and colour for him is wife at their wedding . Any suggestions?
Just seen these guys in Chesterfield last night and I gotta say, they fuckin killed it! Not my typical style as I'm a metalhead at heart but this music really speaks to me. If music has detail, talent, and most importantly soul, I'll like it and these guys for sure have it all.
