LYRICS
Awake, awake my darling
The moon is down
The waves, the waves they are crashing all around
What would you do?
What would you say, if I was gone?
Losing your breath
Toil and sweat
Just hold on

If you say it now
Leave no doubt
You’d shatter the earth
It’s where I will be found
Cause the love still held me near
Say it now
Then time will disappear

Awake, awake my darling
From your beautiful dream
Save me from my sorrow
Which burns eternally
Hammer me down
Into the fire, I am reborn
Let love’s energy, pour into me
I am yours

If you say it now
Leave no doubt
You’d shatter the earth
It’s where I will be found
Cause the love still held me near
Say it now
And time will disappear
On still water the sky lay its head
Hope is hanging on by a thread
Say it now
Leave no doubt
Shatter the earth
It’s where I will be found
Cause the love still held me near
Say it now
And time will disappear

Today my wife went into hospital to have major surgery, one to enable us to have children. We listened to the new album on our hour drive to the hospital in silence, just in awe and with emotion about what was in front of us. We felt that in some way this album being released on such a huge day for us was a sign. After all, his music has been with us for every key moment of our lives.

The surgery was a success.

If we have a boy, he will be called Dallas.

Lucky enough to find this man 11 years ago and I’m still so incredibly proud of what he’s done. This album is a masterpiece and one of his best yet. This song alone is one of his best ever. The vocals, lyrics, instrumentation. It’s all perfect

[jrperfect]

Seen this man perform 7 times over the past 14 years. Absolutely the best and only getting better.

[julianichols]

So proud to be a fan, every new album feels like a Christmas present.

I know you don’t like comments, but this one I had to send.
Been listing to you well over 20 years, favourite artist the whole time.
My 40th birthday falls on the date of your Budweiser Stage show (aug 25), and my wife bought floor tickets for us. Coincidentally, Ben Harper is playing as well, who was our first band to see live together AND ‘Forever’ is our wedding song (12 years ago)
Your new album is nothing less than amazing. Thank you for all the years of solid music, you’re a true Canadian gem, Dallas. Take care, and I look forward to the show in August.

[Dulcelagrimasart]

I can’t stop listening to the new album. Fell in love with your music all over again ❤

[stevemuzak]

That guitar sound in the background is brilliant. Amazing tone.

[katiam]

Dallas, you have created a masterpiece yet again. Incredibly beautiful album. Thank you so much! ❤

[mrmellow]

Pervasive guitar riffs, hard hitting pocket drummer, the timing signature, amazing vocals. This song is literally perfect 🙌🏽

[dar]

When you need something to pick you up. This song is all you'll ever need.

[andrewbarclay]

This album has already given me so much, and it's just been one day ❤

[colto]

My life has been changing quite dramatically for the better as of recently. It feels like the beginning of a new chapter. This album is a gift at the right time. Appreciate you and your pals for the hard work that goes into these albums. Its a work that will outlive us all. Also, dig on how simple this video is. Cheers

[maria_urbannotes]

I love City and Colour 🖤🖤🖤 please come to Brazil!!!!

[MattrickBT]

Michael, I love the simplicity of this video. That long, slow pullout was so good I began to hope it was the entire video. Excellent job as always on Dallas' work.

Dallas...I mean, what is there to say? I bet your burps are melodious and pure. Stellar work is what I expect from you after 20 years, and it's what you continue to deliver. Looking forward to listening to the whole album.

[BonesDion]

Was nice to see you in Vancouver yesterday. You played a great set, also thanks for the picture. Truly made my day

[RocknRollAlive]

Another masterpiece... It's so great to be a fan of City and Colour and communicate with you Friends! It feels like we are watching the development of something that so soulful and just magnificent! 👏📀🎶🎧🌃

[alliebessette]

I can not tell you how this album has made me feel. I’m not that old, still want to have another child but can’t and have a surgery date for a hysterectomy. This album has brought my voice back. I have sang almost every song and am in love with the front to the back of it. Thank you Dallas. Have loved you since the beginning of the AOF days.

[SkarletBrown]

Nerudaish emotion... dripping with desperation. This is beautiful, Dallas. Thank you
