Dallas Green Plays Down Ego Ahead Of Rumoured Tour

City & Colour's Dallas Green has given us insight into the process behind his songwriting – and it's a little on the negative side of things.

When asked why he struggles to comprehend his success in a recent interview, Green had this to say.

“You can go two ways with that, and I tend to go down the other side of things – I'm a glass half empty kinda guy, I think I get it from my parents, my mother at least.

“But all of that doesn't make writing a song any easier for me, and I think that's okay, I think that's good. That's how I've always approached songwriting. It allows me to get better and it allows me to work harder at constantly improving and evolving.

“I don't know if I could handle having an ego and I don't know what I would do if I started to believe the hype, I guess. I don't know what music would come out of me, if any at all. So I tend to just keep myself grounded and to just write and get better.”

The latest City & Colour album The Hurry And The Harm dropped a few weeks ago and now there are rumours (coming from Green himself yesterday) of an Aussie visit this July. C'mon Twitter, be true!

Last tweet tonight. AUSTRALIA, since you're awake like me - what do you think about July?
