To touch the soul of another human being is to walk on Holy Ground.

 Stephen R Covey  1932 -2012 ....

Dallas Green - City and Colour.

Dallas Green walks on holy ground where ever his feet touch the earth. He sings like an angel.  His voice is warmed perfection, his music is brilliant and so is he.   The feeling he puts into the lyrical content is clearly personal, this is what seriously touches my soul and gently tugs at my heart every time I hear his voice. 

I am definitely a fan. I simply adore  all of his music,   I love the 2011 album "Little Hell" best and perhaps that is my number one but its hard to separate any of it.  Its obvious why that album gets my gong.  The tracks on this album speak heavily into my fractured soul.  Fragile Bird, O Sister etc are all songs I relate deeply too... perhaps a little too deeply.

"O' Sister"

Oh sister
What's wrong with your mind?
You used to be so strong and stable
My sister
What made you fall from grace?
I'm sorry that I was not there to catch you

What have the demons done?
What have the demons done?
With the luminous light that once shined from your eyes
What makes you feel so alone
Is it the whispering ghosts
That you feared the most
But the blackness in your heart
Won't last forever
I know it's tearing you apart
But it's a storm you can weather

Oh sister
Those lines etched in your hands
They're hardened and rough like a road map of sorrow
My sister
There is a sadness on your face
You're like a motherless child who's longing for comfort
What's running through your veins
That's causing you such pain?
Does it have something to do with the pills they gave to you?
What is eating at your soul?
Was it the whispering ghosts that left you out in the cold?

But the blackness in your heart
Won't last forever
I know it's tearing you apart
But it's a storm you can weather

Oh sister
My sister
Oh sister
My sister
