City and Colour – Hello, I’m In Delaware

Album

Sometimes is the debut solo album by City and Colour, a side project of Dallas Green, a guitarist and singer for the band Alexisonfire.

At first, the majority of these songs were only available at live shows or over the Internet through Peer-to-peer services. However, due to high demand, the songs were compiled onto a studio album and released through Dine Alone Records. "Comin' Home" was the only song on the album to not have been previously available. The album was awarded Alternative Album of the Year at the 2007 Juno Awards.

Sometimes was re-released on Vagrant Records on January 13, 2009, which was first time the album was available in physical form in the US.

Despite the album's relatively limited initial commercial success, it received widespread critical acclaim in its native Canada where it was certified gold in March 2006.

Background

Sometimes was co-produced by Green and Julius Butty; Butty engineer most of the songs, while four of them were engineered by Larry Thompson at Green's friend's house. Butty mixed the album before it was mastered by Brett Zilhali at Joao Carvalho Mastering.

Sometimes è il primo album in studio di City and Colour, progetto folk solista del cantautore canadese Dallas Green (già Alexisonfire). Il disco è stato pubblicato nel 2005.

Artist

Dallas Michael John Albert Green (born September 29, 1980) is a Canadian musician and singer-songwriter who records under the alias City and Colour. He is also known for his contributions as a singer, rhythm guitarist, and songwriter for the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire.

In 2005, he debuted his first full-length album, Sometimes, which achieved platinum certification in 2006. City and Colour began performing in small intimate venues between Alexisonfire tours. The name City and Colour comes from his own name: Dallas, a city, and Green, a colour.

His reasoning for the name was that he felt uneasy "putting the album out under the name Dallas Green".

Dallas Michael John Albert Green (St. Catharines, 29 settembre 1980) è un cantautore canadese.

City and Colour è il progetto musicale solista di Dallas Green, cantante e chitarrista degli Alexisonfire. I primi tre album in studio, pubblicati tra il 2005 e il 2011, hanno avuto un buon riscontro di vendite in Canada, ricevendo un disco di platino caduno.

So there goes my life
Passing by with every exit sign
And it's been so long
Sometimes I wonder how I will stay strong

No sleep tonight
I'll keep on driving these dark highway lines
And as the moon fades
One more night gone, only 20 more days

But I will see you again
I will see you again a long time from now

And there goes my life
Passing by with every departing flight
And it's been so hard
So much time so far apart

She walks the night
How many hearts will die tonight
And when things have changed
I guess I'll find out in 17 days

But I will see you again
I will see you again a long time from now

My body aches and it hurts to say
And no one is moving
And I wish that I weren't here tonight
But this is my life

And I will see you again
I will see you again a long time from now
And I will see you again
I will see you again a long time from now

Quindi se ne va la mia vita
Passando ad ogni segnale di uscita
Ed è passato così tanto tempo
A volte mi chiedo come rimarrò forte

Niente sonno stanotte
Continuerò a guidare queste buie linee autostradali
E mentre la luna svanisce
Un'altra notte passata, solo altri 20 giorni

Ma ti rivedrò
Ci rivedremo tra molto tempo

E la mia vita se ne va
Passando con ogni volo in partenza
Ed è stato così difficile
Tanto tempo così distante

Lei cammina la notte
Quanti cuori moriranno stanotte
E quando le cose sono cambiate
Immagino che lo scoprirò tra 17 giorni

Ma ti rivedrò
Ci rivedremo tra molto tempo

Il mio corpo fa male e fa male a dirsi
E nessuno si muove
E vorrei non essere qui stasera
Ma questa è la mia vita

E ti rivedrò
Ci rivedremo tra molto tempo
E ti rivedrò
Ci rivedremo tra molto tempo
