I work in Pensions in the USA as a Teamster in Chicago. (if you didn't know this song is about George's dad losing his Canadian pension). I'm proud to say that this song inspired me to go fight the good fight for Teamsters that deserve their money. I once got someone a retro check from 1984 thru current (then 2020). I've also saved a handful of guys pensions for making simple mistakes. I'm talking their pension being yanked for life. And I'm in this career cause of this song.
Man, I remember the first time I spent the night at my first love's place I played this song for us as we lay together and fell asleep. Now whenever I hear this song I think of that moment and her. It was so peaceful and tranquil. I hope she is okay and happy wherever she is in the world right now.
This is amazeballs!!! but Dallas could sing us the phone book, a recipe for baked beans or even read the instructions off a shampoo bottle and it would sound amazing
Absolute poetry. I remember my father showing me this song when I was 12, I knew then that it was something special. 21 now and I feel this song in ways unexplainable. Great Canadian music, this will last.
City and colour fans, myself included, won’t usually say this but Dallas should make more songs in his lower range like thus. In the last 5-7 years he has improved his higher range and vocal agility but we know Dallas can hit those low notes. Yes I know this song was a long time ago and an Alexisonfire song
Seriously, Dallas never ceases to amaze me. Never in a million years! His voice and guitar playing is beyond amazing. I can't wait to see City & Colour live!
There is something so significant about the window in the back; the cars passing. They all one by one pass not knowing beauty is round the corner in the form of this song and that beauty can be missed so easily
haters, look at the date: he was still in AOF when this was taped. chill out. don't think the other guys will hold back from playing music dallas helped create either. It's his, and theirs. just enjoy the talent and relax!
This is a fantastic version of the original recording! Such a quality to both his playing and his voice even in that mini-studio this is only the 2nd song of theirs I've heard and I'm already sold on buying their albums (the other was Waiting - from the same live set).
whenever dallas green does an acoustic version of any song it always sounds amazing. I guess the only way to top this kind of performance would be to do an acoustic version of an acoustic song and dallas green would probably knock it out of the park
"each year the work load grows" "im always wishin to late, for things to go my way, it always ends up the same" "My youth is slipping away" "so much to dream about, there must be more to my life" i for one can relate on a high lvl. ive hit that . in my life.
