"I'll never be as good as I'd like to be
Eternally restless refusing to believe
But I think that we missed our connection
I wanted to feel your affection
Until my final days"

I first became a fan of Dallas Green in when i was in high school, and he was the guitarist and vocalist for one of my favorite post-hardcore bands, Alexisonfire. He now performs under the name City And Colour, and has a very different sound. He performs with a full band, but does the composing himself. He seamlessly flows from folk, to alternative, to ambient indie sounds that just about anyone can appreciate. His unique songwriting, has earned him a quite loyal fan base that keep him on the road often. So keep an eye out, he may be rollin through your town soon.

The Lonely Life
"Singin' please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I've been blinded completely
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy"
Thirst
"In the midst of a storm
Searching for shelter
I came upon
One single feather
A half-hearted wish
For something better
Gracefully cursed, I thirst"
Wasted Love
"Crying out for more
Just a little more
Tied down on the floor
Like a prisoner of war
Oh, I've been down so long
The day is nearly gone
I must carry on
With this wasted love"
