"Save Your Scissors" is Dallas Green alone, just his voice and his guitar with nothing else on the track, and it became the lead single from Sometimes, the debut City and Colour album, in 2005. It first surfaced on The Death of Me EP, with Julius Butty engineering and mixing, and Dine Alone Records put it out.
It was a quiet, bare-boned side road from Green's band Alexisonfire. The video leans into that ordinariness, following Green through his days in St. Catharines, Ontario: playing, grabbing lunch, dropping into a music store, and heading off to practice with Alexisonfire.
