City and Colour’s Dallas Green has been sitting on the ghostly acoustic track "Nowhere Texas" since recording his latest album, The Hurray and the Harm, waiting for find the right cause to donate the proceeds. He told Samaritanmag he wrote it after watching the film Texas Killing Fields about “these girls from these small towns get picked up and raped and killed and dropped into this swamp and they can’t seem to tie any of them together or convict anyone.” Green has finally released it and is donating all proceeds to YWCA of Canada’s Rose Campaign, created after the Montreal massacre of 14 women on Dec. 6 1989 and a year-round effort to reduce violence against women.
