    Looking forward to something new. I like this song. Seems like a good choice thematically to release first.

    From Dallas on Astronaut

    Astronaut is a travelin song. It’s about living and trying to stay in the moment. It’s about the yearning to wander through this life and try to experience as much as possible while you can. Sonically, I wanted it to take you on a journey - because that’s what the song is about: The journey of being alive and aware, The ups and downs, the winding roads, but the hope that we’ll find our way.

    Hope you dig it.

    Loving Astronaut so far. I definitely get the traveling vibe he mentioned throughout the song.

    Looking forward to the new album.

    Regular

    the guy has such a clean,clear voice, but his music I have never loved.

    Astronaut..someone on 1 of The Dear Hunter fan groups compared to a song from the Blue EP, and checking it out now, I can follow.

    I absolutely love his cover of Kimbra's Settle Down and the Neverending White Lights tune "The Grace."

    Anyone know how to get access to the artist presale tomorrow? Is he just gong blast out a code on his socials>

    I have always been more a fan of his acoustic based music for the same reason where his voice shines, but the Never Ending White Lights and Shad stuff.

    I find a lot of artists when they go solo start really simplistically because they are on their own, and then somehow get back into a more band sound with their solo work (Dashboard Confessional, Frank Turner, Kevin Devine and I’m sure we could all name a lot more). For City and Colour, I’d agree not all his music has been for me, but his voice is so distinct and I really do enjoy it.

    I had a small run through his discography on Apple Music today whilst at work for the first time in forever and I genuinely forgot how many good songs he'd done under City and Colour. Admittedly I'm not as familiar with his newer stuff compared to his old as I was always more fond of the acoustic sound over the full band but I'm definitely enjoying both now.

    Yep listened to Little Hell today and forgot how good it is.

    I mean, he's even got songs like "Silver and Gold" on there that just slip under the radar but still blow my mind.

    Yeah TH&TH is a bit hit or miss - like "commentators" and "golden state" are kind of ehhh but then he's got "take care" and the title track is actually really good on that one.

    I pretty much enjoy everything Dallas has done with C&C, even the album w/ Pink, but I get why some would cool on the later stuff. It starts to feel like he's rehashing the same thing over and over again but I guess I'm just into it

    Take Care is definitely my favorite song on that album and one of my favorites of his overall. It's a shame it's NEVER gotten played live. I honestly think the guitar part might be too tough to recreate perfectly while singing at the same time..

    Commentators is brutal. Worst thing he's ever done by far.

    Yeah everything Dallas has been involved with I've pretty much loved/enjoyed.

    Completely forgot about that You+Me album. Need to re-listen to that tomorrow for sure.

    Commentators could have been such a good song but the lyrics are so dumb lol

    I honestly can't remember much from TH&TH. It's just never landed with me.

    Of Space and Time and Harder Than Stone are two of his best songs, which makes TH&TH worth it alone

    I definitely agree with those two. I’d also say TH&TH is his weakest overall, but there’s still some great tracks on there.

    I got my dad really into City & Colour, and he’s told me this has become one of his favorite songs ever... he asks me to play it often when we’re together. It’s a cool feeling to really share my love for a newer artist with him, considering most of the artists/bands we really share a love for are older or (if newer) more mainstream.

    I love this song (along with the whole album) and it absolutely slays live.

    I reeeeally love IISGBY. It came at an integral time for me and it has had massive staying power for me.

    I don’t expect this of any C&C fan by any stretch of the imagination, but it is my personal favorite of his.
