"And finally i'll say it with love, i hope you're at rest in the star's above" Have the 'Sometimes' tattoo on my ribs with these lyrics in the banners..dedicated to my nana :)
This song reminds me of my Grandmother who passed away. She fell asleep driving herself to church on a Sunday morning because she had low blood sugar and she died on impact. I break down whenever I think about her. She couldn't have been a better person. I love you Helen Argondizza, I hope with all my heart's power that you are at rest. Just remember, it wasn't ever a goodbye. It was a see you later. R.I.P.
I sincerely WISH this man had more music than he does ..... i could listen to him sing all day long .....every single one of his songs just have so much meaning, depth and emotion....his voice is like a lullaby
My teacher died surfing last night. He was such a legend and i want to dedicate this song to him. Rest in peace Matt Upsher. You really never will be forgotten . . .
My friend just died today and this song is all i can listen too... Serena you will always be missed but never forgotten! She was always stronger than me and a more happy person, something ive learned from and will always cherish for the rest of my life.
This song hits so deep, my best friend just went missing and she's been gone and I can't stop thinking of her. I just pray to God she's alright. This song just reminds me of her, we've been best friends for so long and also my sister is just passed. My sister was the most loving girl in the world and she loves Dallas Green, I just wish that I could have saved her or at least got her to meet him face to face before she died.
You can just hear the sadness. I'm not one to cry with songs but this song almost literally brings me to tears. =[ makes me think of my dad who passed away 6 years ago. =[
This song really strikes a chord with me. It feels good to connect with music like this, something that can help console what ever loss someone's been going through.. I never understood why Mario left us that night, i don't think he quite did either.. R.I.P. Mario, loved but never forgotten.
This song is about Ralph Serravalle, Dallas's old religion teacher. It breaks my heart and sends shivers down my spine just listening to it. I hope I never get to relate to this song, I can't imagine how that would feel. I gotta give it to him, Dallas is one of the toughest people I know and a true artist. Tall man. Hats down.
This song was my sign that my friend brett whom passed away is ok :) i listen to dallas all the time and theres noreason why i didnt hear this song before. then one night i got up the courage to finally go too bretts grave for the first time. i was devestated! then the next day searching lyrics i came across this song! Thank you dallas for sending bretts message to me
this song makes me think abt my grandfather who passed away last march...although this song breaks my heart, its jus so hauntingly beautiful tht i cant help but give it all my attention
This time of year is so bitter sweet to me because life on earth is blooming but 7 years ago around this time my mom went into a deep coma and never came out..i still dont understand what you died for?! RIPJANETNOURICK
I can hardly describe the feelings I endure when hearing this song. It's a stabbing, wounding, and unforgiving serenade that makes my heart skip a beat. I wish I could sing this song to every person I have ever deeply loved that has passed a way. I know they will never come back, and I hope there's a god so that one day I could see their beautiful faces, and not have to worry about these hard unchangeable goodbyes..
today marks the 4 month anniversary of my uncle's battle and loss to Mesothielioma Lung Cancer. he was like a second father to me. he provided Christmas for my family when my dad couldn't. saved my fucking life. and this song makes me think of him so much. I wear my C and C tattoo proudly on my arm. "You Must Follow Your Heart" Ive been listening to this song every time this day comes up. I don't know where I would be without my uncle. I love and miss you Uncle J. every fucking day. rip 4/23/10
This song is about death of a loved one, but thats exactly how I interpret this song. Not physically deceased, but lost in the abyss of it all, losing connection and your touch with your insight on a significant other or even a relative. Powerful song along with his voice which makes me tremble with excitement and relief. I love Dallas and this song. Very well done.
It's too bad this song upsets Dallas so much, it's full of so much emotion and it would be really good live. Oh well, at least we have THIS recording of it. Thank you Dallas for giving any of us who have lost a loved one a song to remember them by. We all love you.
Dallas made this song when he lost his religion teacher. He had a hard time because Mr. Serravalle was the teacher who helped him out back in the day when he started playing the guitar. He helped Dallas believe in himself, and to become the man he is today. He doesn't sing this song often live because it's an emotional song :)
"Missing EP is an EP by City and Colour, that was released at the same time as The Death of Me in January 2005, and was available only in Canada. The title song is about the death of Ralph Serravale, Dallas Green's high school religion and guitar teacher. Only 1000 copies of this CD were made and all proceeds went to the Denis Morris Catholic High School Starvathon which Serravale supported throughout his life." Now i things are straight...
My best friend committed suicide a year ago today just a couple of days before I was going to. Made me realise what it does to the people who love you when you die. I was real messed up but I didn't kill myself because I didn't want to put my friends and family through the pain that I was going through. I miss you Scott and will never forget you. X
My boyfriend died on July 15th of this year. I honestly think i'm going insane. I loved him with everything I had. It's so hard. Rest in peace baby willy
My friend Alisha died in a car accident today. She was hit on the driver's side by an 18 wheeler. I saw her yesterday and I didn't think anything of it so I just waved at her and made an awkward confused face. Now I regret that and wish I had said more.. Rest in peace Alisha, wherever you go, be at ease.
it's such a beautiful,sad song. But it's actually about his religion teacher. Here, from an interview with Dallas: "he was a religion teacher but he didnt force it to you. I wrote that song about him because he was so impactful on my life and who I am, that when he died I couldnt handle it I guess"
This songs been played live alot recently and is now making some money for the school that Dallas green went to. its was his Religion teacher who died btw.
@IHateNicholas666 I think your gesture was the most honest one you could have made, with enough expression for her to understand, no words needed. Do not regret anything you did or didn't do. :) take care!
Yeah could have been, I must admit i've heard a lot of stories that say he was his guitar teacher. According to Dallas he was the man the persuaded him to pursue music as a career. made him follow his heart, so to speak. I ha follow your heart tattooed on my calf along with a blue rose inspired by city and colour :D
I think he was also his gutair teacher aswell from what i heard :) and your right these lyrics mean so much they could probably solve world peace if everyone took the time to be abit more open minded :)
@frodobla i say (:/) because this song its so sad for me, for my past, And exactly today this song strike my soul....... but this is a great song.... and Dallas the best!
Thanks you!!!!!! :D Im only 14 but ive been planning my tattoo and im getting the same sleeve that dallsa has on his right arm but with and angel instead of the heart thing and i wanted something to put at the top ( I verse ) and thats what im gunna use now "Follow your Heart" :D
@deadlypotato If I remember correctly, it was released on an album in Canada. He did it for a High School or something, I don't remember all the details. Either way, it's probably damn near impossible to find the CD this song came on.
