I have PTSD, depression and anxiety disorder. This song almost talks to me and let's me understand that I am not alone in this world. Night time is the worst which is said in this song. Great song and I hope helps save someone else's life also.
your not alone. I have both at a chronic level that very well could end me one day, or more like night. So to shed some light, I have found it's best to take one minute at a time & try to not overthink things. It takes effort & time, but it does make life on this plane of hell, bearable some of the time.
My best friend passed away a little over a year ago, and one of our friends covered this at the funeral. Now this song will always occupy the back of my mind. Such a great song.
''I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me, such as living with the uncertainty that I'll never find the words to say which would completely explain just how I'm breaking down'' This is kinda ironic since Dallas Green has found the most beautiful words I've ever heard.
I have to say, as a "millenial" who has really grown to enjoy hip-hop and more electronically-engineered music, footage like this reminds me of how magical and important it is to have live music with organic, "real" instruments. it's so moving to see a group of people on stage creating this one song together. amazing.
I’ve been to many shows and concerts in my life and let me tell you, I saw alexisonfire live when I was 15 and Dallas green sounds EXACTLY live the way he does on their albums. Amazing. Wish I could sing like that.
Ahhh I cannot get over how amazing and perfect his voice is live. I haven't seen him perform with C&C but I saw him with Alexisonfire and his pitch was so perfect the entire set. Amazing.
@willypdyer the music has not yet died. there will always be someone to fly the flag of real genuine music with all the heart and soul of the days of old.
Singing this just past last March when at Whistler BC for three 2nd time in over 30 years, when I was nerving myself up to leap off straight down into a powder bowl off Harmony!....For my first time. This song was stucco'd in me head!
I truly loved reading that, man. It's great to see DG get the recognition he deserves from more than just the usual 18-35 demographic. Especially from someone who's been witness to 5 decades of music. It's alive and breathing today in part because of his revival. I would follow his voice to the edge of the world and back. Mad genius.
haha nice one man yeah he's got his own style for sure and it's absolutely amazing his songs are simple yet beautiful i love this song and love to play & sing it over and over again
Wouldn't be surprised at all to see Dallas in 20-30 years from now still making music and touring. It'll be funny to hear this song on a classic radio station :p
Dallas, oh Dallas. What do I even say. You are the best. You are pretty popular for your circumstances, I just wish more people knew of you so they would know they're not the only ones who feel the way the do.
anybody who wants the lyrics: I awoke Only to find my lungs empty And through the night So it seems I'm not breathing And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down And I'm afraid To sleep because of what haunts me Such as living with the uncertainty That I'll never find the words to say Which would completely explain Just how I'm breaking down [Chorus] Someone come and, someone come and save my life Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead But now it's like the night is taking sides With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind Could it be this misery will suffice? [Gordon Downie] I've become A simple souvenir of someone's kill And like the sea I'm constantly changing from calm to ill Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole oh, how I'm breaking down [Chorus] oooohhh my life Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life) Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life) Someone come and, someone come and save my life Could it be this misery will suffice?
@willypdyer How I envy the era that you were so blessed to have witnessed. I'm glad you've found some real music in this day and age and, although hard to come by, REAL music is still very much alive. P.S. You won't find any of it on the radio.
I have PTSD, depression and anxiety disorder. This song almost talks to me and let's me understand that I am not alone in this world. Night time is the worst which is said in this song. Great song and I hope helps save someone else's life also.
Duane Gregory Dallas Green has that affect

Amen. 🙏🙏🙏
He has, by far, the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.
Him and Jonny Craig always make me feel some type of way 💙
Dallas is such a genius.
So pure and original... Plus his voice live is just like on the album 100% real.
My best friend passed away a little over a year ago, and one of our friends covered this at the funeral. Now this song will always occupy the back of my mind. Such a great song.

My sentiments exactly some of the time....

I saw him do this at VirginFest in Calgary a couple years ago and Gord came on to do it with him. I swear, my ovaries imploded.
awesome
Esta es la clase de gente que deberia recibir grammys y no productos de autotune
those are the j. dahmer signature frames.
anybody who wants the lyrics:
I awoke
Only to find my lungs empty
And through the night
So it seems I'm not breathing
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down
And I'm afraid
To sleep because of what haunts me
Such as living with the uncertainty
That I'll never find the words to say
Which would completely explain
Just how I'm breaking down
[Chorus]
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
But now it's like the night is taking sides
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Could it be this misery will suffice?
[Gordon Downie]
I've become
A simple souvenir of someone's kill
And like the sea
I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
oh, how I'm breaking down
[Chorus]
oooohhh my life
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Could it be this misery will suffice?
They're playing a free show in Halifax... I can't fuckin wait!
