I cannot stop drinking alcohol. No matter what I try, where I go, how long I last at a time. I always go back. This song makes me comfortable. I can't stop myself. I see my life from behind my eyes and the bottle. Thank city and colour for this. I can cry on an invisible shoulder
Hello internet stranger. Same. It's going to happen for us. You do you and make your own way. I believe in you, and hopefully I can follow your lead when alcohol is a mere afterthought to your progress.
One day at a time. Reach out to people and talk it helped me I’m 50 days sober so very much ground zero still. Speaking to other alcoholics is the only way to get better. I wish you all the best you can do this
Music for me fuels it. Almost two years sober and when I gave myself enough time I could listen to emotional music again. I actually had to cut music out for quite a while except for like happy hippie music, even that triggered me kinda. Stop listening to sad music, go to a meeting, get a sponsor, find your higher power and one day you can listen to this sappy shit again, I promise
I found out about this song and band randomly. Some guy had died, i had no clue who he was so being curious i clicked on his profile and the kid had shared this song a few hours before his death. Great song. May he rest in peace.
Eh, the Band is just one guy Gustavo. his name is Dallas Green and was the lead guitarist and clean vocalist for a band from canada called Alexisonfire. You should def do some research on them I promise it is worth your time.
My best friend told me that she loved this song, she told me that his voice was the kind of voice that you want to put in your pocket so that any time you get sad you can take it out and listen, and it would make you feel better. She was right! A sad song that is uplifting...that is irony. :-)
I just got out of the military and alcoholism is something that i struggle with daily, this song speaks to me in more ways than i could ever explain. Brings tears to my eyes, but hope to my heart at the same time in a strange way..knowing i'm not alone in these struggles
I got out about a year ago and struggled with it also. Things are getting better now that I sought help, so I hope the same happens to you. Best wishes
LezboxAna OH my condolences to you and I hope your coping with that with adequate support !! I 've lost people over the years to addiction and struggle with it myself [I'm clean now] but of course life is so unpredictable a young friend of mine whom I was also helping to go through school again OD'ed on some cocktail of drugs it made me go through a 1OOO things in my mind as to what I could've said or done ! all I can hope for is that both he and your friend are in a better place ! KEEP STRONG LUV!!
My mom has been a heavy alcoholic for 10+ years. I love how people think this song is trying to make you sympathize with being an alcoholic when really, the point is at the end that you DON'T need alcohol to solve your problems. Your nerves will be the death of you either way. It's a song I will listen to until I get much older after she has passed to remind myself to not go down the same path as she did.
I'm currently drunk for the very first time and suddenly this song makes a frightening amount of sense. I'm a little afraid, and definitely worried. ....But his voice is so beautiful that it helps me orient myself every time I re-listen.
This song was so my life a few month's ago..It's scary how many insane thoughts were in my head when my father passed, and what a drunk I was! Yup 20yrs old & a drunk, depressed and losing my mind. Until a few months ago when I discovered Dallas Green and his song's and it made me feel better that I wasnt alone.
So I was listening to this song while doing homework and somehow it got put on auto-replay and i didn't notice and I've been listening to the same song for the past hour
such a great song it certainly resonates deeply within me to think about some of the great music that comes out of CANADA having done music shuttling back and forth between THE Uk and Canada! hope to post some of my own music soon keep listening CheERS!
Unfortunately, this song has been my life ever since my return from trying to save lives as a medic in Iraq. With all the things that I had to deal with, whiskey is the only thing that helps me to sleep at night. I'll be alright eventually... I hope. Hearing the passion fueled into these gut wrenching lyrics helps to ease the pain somewhat. Thank you Dallas for getting a song out there that expresses the sorrow that so many people go through everyday.
this is probably one of my absolute favorite songs my dallas green. i've been listening to him for several months now and i have never gotten tired of his amazingly beautiful voice. i will be a fan forever
i am one of those people that is almost always touched by anxiety and ruthless inquietude. it is not easy to fit in society when you are like that, and it is hard to constantly try to function 'normally'. i like to think about us, these kind of misfits, as aliens stuck in a human form, that were born at some other galaxy, in past lives lived on other planets with, for us, more soothing air to breathe. so i often see Earth as a filthy round ball, filled with no oxygen and nothing but toxic gasses
We are spiritual beings having a physical experience... a lot of the disorientation and confusion occurs from thinking that it goes the other way around.
I listened to so much City and Color, while i was going through my Transition. Probably not the best idea in retrospect considering how sad there material is, But i really feel like it got me through the most difficult experience in my life.
Trying to deal with anxiety while not giving into the vices some turn to soothe their nerves. As a guy who has been straight edge and dealt with anxiety disorders most of his life, I can relate.
When I was in the pits of my meth/alcohol... errr everything addiction and lost all my family and friends and was surrounded by freaks and users this was my anthem. I would be loaded and I would shout the lyrics of this song out while listening to it downing a half gallon of booze. Now 3 years later in healthy, happy, got my family back and my good friends. I’m financially stable and doing great. But this song will always be a reminder of hard times.
I got out of active duty in 08 and was in some rough stuff over there in ramadi and fallujah. It gets better with time but i feel you i definitely drink too much and listen to city and color and other groups like this a lot.
john lennon, paul mccartney, and george harrison, all had awesome solo carreers and wrote amazing music. so yes, they were very good at writing music by themselves, which is why most would say they were phenomenal when they came together.. just throwin that out there
this song reminds me of my ex. I drank so much when we grew apart. it hurt so much but in a weird way it actually makes me happy that we have moved on and became happy people
Your life is always what you make of it. Just like some people at 80 tell themself they are too old to do anything while others do exercises and thing that even I can't do at my age (21). You got to enlarge your vision of everything and also focus on what realy makes you happy.
in response to monster2slayer i certainly hope you get well soon i've had my share of Hospital stays and was so grateful for the great music that kept me afloat keep listening maybe i can post something you can enjoy as well Cheers!
I love Dallas Green his music. That being said, I don't think we should be commenting on how he saved our lives or whatever. I seriously doubt the fact that many people are actually depressed and actually have insomnia or if it's just a way to get a thumbs up. This does not apply for everyone. Everyone can be someone else over the internet. Just because they feel that that person is more interesting than he/she actually is. If you have issues, I'm sorry to hear that. Just don't lie about it.
i can't relate to this song, but i can. i don't relate to the whisky part, but i relate to feeling small. i am a nervous wreck who gets upset over the smallest of things, and i can't help but feeling miserable about anything. i used to be so upbeat, but now i'm so pessimistic. i stay up thinking about how everyone i love is going to die, and i can't handle it, and i'm afraid that this feeling will never go away.
No struggle with drugs or alcohol. But, how many of you experience the alone state? When it is so alone, that you can even cry in public. This is such a strange world. The more real you become, the more alone you become. The more truth you embrace, the less people see you. I can sit in the ice for 3 hours. I can run or bike forever. I've reached this level because its all I've ever had to do. To not feel the emotional taxation, i fill it with physical struggles. I choose the toughest of trails just to run on them bear footed threw winter. An this body, this body i have forged has only made me even more disliked. So i just go an go an go until i cant even fucking walk for days later. All I've wanted in this world, was that one connection within truth, children of my own etc. But here i am. 28 years old. An instead of a simple experience, i have been granted a power so mighty, i never asked for. Where are you? Why has it taken so long for you to find me. Or are you even here? Am i here alone? Its just something i cant control. I cant control this feeling inside my heart. Its so crippling, so paralyzing that.. if it wasn't for the ice bath totally sterilizing all emotions i would of killed myself a long while ago. But, i know its no use. It won't end just because we choose to take our own life. I will never not be me. So there it is. The suffrage from the expendable man, of the United states of amarica.
