Keep on rockin` Clarence ~~~~~~~`o_o`

[MysticDMBherb]

I saw him at DMB Caravan. I was wasted drunk by like 3pm and had to pass out somewhere. Next thing I knew I woke up to this song and ended up listening to the whole show lying on the floor, but it was one of the best shows I've ever heard

[roddy1996]

heard this in a restaurant on holiday, could only remember the lyrics "carry you" and "blue sky" here i am, found it, brilliant song.

[gatitame2azul]

Bless you tube; album wont save in wmp so ripping from the YOU phtttt

[Ggabes826]

[leahbreezes]

I have to agree way too underrated artist

Couldn't believe when I finally watched him perform in London in February. He's the most down to earth guy I've ever met. After the show we waited for autographs and he invited me and 5-6 other people up to the bar to have drinks with him and the crew. I hugged him when I left and didn't wanna let go!!! I love you Clarence, you're incredible.

[TheVasilisas]

@lull2701

Lucky! I've always wanted to meet him. Is he really down-to-earth???

[lull2701]

@TheVasilisas Yess, he is! He's incredibly down to earth, and just such a cool and chilled out guy! Even when we left he was like "bye sweetie, thanks for coming" - as though we'd been friends for years! I've never met an artist with such humbleness. Anytime you watch his concert just wait around for an hour or so after the show and he's always more than happy to chill and sign autographs! :)

[TheVasilisas]

@lull2701

Oh man, I'm so jealous. Lucky bastard!

[jennieme]

they seriously are underrated

[manarn1]

does anyone else see a skeleton playing a guitar in this pic?

[fsmorel123]

sorry, but this is one of the best songs ever. really great, the lyrics can be applied many different ways. gives me the chills. watch the hbo documentary called hurricane waters if you want to be grateful for everything you have.

[gargache]

Saw him in Brussels Belgium awesomest an d deepest concert ever seen

[Wayawoman46]

Saw him Nashville last year. LOVE HIM !

[gulleyboig4]

THIS MAN CITIZEN COPE HAS A VIBE ABOUT HIM... THATS A BREATH OF GOOD FRESH AIR MUSIK. BUT ITS FOUND AGAIN. GOOD MUSIK THAT IS. PEACE

[jbunit2007]

I'm so glad I found about about this guy. He's the greatest.

[MadameDeJaVu]

Well I only by accident discovered this guys talents; funny enough was watching a skateboarding video stopped watching, closed my eyes and listened to the song instead, totally mesmerised. Searched for his name and found much more,

very glad to have found him.

[manarn1]

@MadameDeJaVu i discovered him in a similar way. i was watching "ghost town" movie, and this song came up when the main charecter sat down alone in the park, said " we live alone, we die alone" and hail began to come down...but it was a different song. lol/

but i gt u.

[ravergurl420]

why is there a thumbs down button you tube should get rid of it so the haters can fuck off and go hate themselves

[Zaksenal]

@ravergurl420 agreed 100% mate

[zeroxposur23]

@ravergurl420 i just gave you a thumbs down

[pdderek]

@ravergurl420 because if enough people thumbs down a video it can easily indicate to the content screeners that something is wrong with the video.

Also, it allows users who create content who are curious as to how their audience is perceiving their videos with a quick and easy reference for whether the video was a "success"

[kymmhsn]

i love this song,ever since i saw the doc Trouble the Water

[mattrixification]

agree, I love this guy. if i die i wan't hurricane waters at my funeral......

[kyliepardo]

cant help but sway to the beat....

[tomfedena]

i have seen cope live about 10 times, he brings the house down with this track.

[TheOCBOY13]

[cloaked22]

[baiyoboi]

I heard rhis hot song when I was watching a hurricane Katrina documentary called "Trouble the Water". A film by Kim and Scott Roberts in their fight to survive and this song was the icing on the cake. Great job!

[Fourtyb4five]

DOUBLE RAINBOW

[tinyfifi]

i heard this first in Trouble The Water a documentary about hurricane Katrina everyone should check it out guys class issues first hand

[sch1157]

I think this song is about Hurricane Katrina.

[1MusicConnoisseur]

@sch1157 Sure it is!



[PuckRocker43]

@sch1157 It was recorded on '04, before Katrina. Almost a foreshadowing, tho

[steeeeeeeeeveee]

ive never heard of him before a week ago when he opened for o.a.r. in saratoga NY. it was a great opener and then i saw the same concert at a different venue. This song is absolutely amazing live, and sitting in the 3rd row was great to just watch him play

[jgvalentin004]

i dont get why he didnt get blown up like crazy... his music is awesome... not many ppl know him

[justjayarrsteiner]

will someone tell me what that FREAKING static is in the background!??! I used to think it was just MY copy but its even on pandora!!

[WyoTeg]

@justjayarrsteiner I believe it's a Synth effect; probably a sawtooth wave form or some sort of polysynth effetct. Really low frequency too like a bass line almost.

[magua4]

@justjayarrsteiner its bass synth dog, its fucking awesome

[ecvrock]

Aug 15th Show in Atlanta will be my 9th Citizen Cope show.. holla

[TheVasilisas]

@ecvrock

Really? Dude, I hate you. I wish I met him!!!! =D

[rockinspiritphoto]

Richie Haven is credited with writing this song. He performed it on New Orleans F M station WWOZ . i also heard it on the documentary shot by New Orleans Lower 9th Ward couple/ Who gets props for this moving classic of a song?

[dyingangelo]

@rockinspiritphoto you need a time to read the comments and description of a video

[bucksjohn]

there is totally a man smoking a bleezy in this photo he is on the left of the rainbow if you look it looks like he has a fro and his hand is near his mouth holding one with smoke coming out oh yes

[godishomo99]

@bucksjohn haha right on brother!

[freytes20004]

Cope is the best .

[intrga86]

sounds like c-lo should have been on this track

Imagine c-lo's voice.

[musiclive999]

Underrated - I agree!

[wrestler905]

[crimsonflame242]

@wrestler905 optical elusion lol i thought the same after reading your comment

[amityhelen0]

@girlyps i did the same thing.. it's great song filled with so much emotion, just like it was during the storm.

[Galadont]

I'm going to see O.A.R. in August and Citizen Cope is opening for them! It's great that we have a good opening band!

[caryapple]

I agree! I LOVE HIM!!! I saw him live, and he's amazing.

[wotabooty76]

[cbgb7684]

just watched TROUBLE THE WATER. this was played over shots of the dispossessed outside the superdome. very, very poignant.

[sherriffe1931]

True  Indeed.

[elizaloves]

citizen cope went to my high school!

[janaesofly234]

love thiz song wish people would make more music like thiz

[curbstompa13]

I love this song because it has so many vocal and instrumental elements that seem chaotic but it comes together and just flows so perfectly. Beautiful.

[iDisneyGal]

I love this song heard about it from drake labry.

[AdamLambertLovah]

thats funny you and me are following him cuz i keep seeing your comments on the videos i go to to stalk drake lebry and see wat adams boyfriend is like

[iamadancer6]

woah thats wierd...when i was 3 the only songs i listened to was my dad's fun fun fun by the beach boys

[Tamshia]

Love this song, my 3 y/o neice sings this song word for word!! :)

[STORMWYNTA]

"Until the skies open up, until the trumpet sounds" deep stuff

[jasondolleylvr]

amazing song. all of clarences songs are great. he is such an amazing artist.

[STORMWYNTA]

He;s talking about the Almighty God, Kings of kings, Lord of Lords, the Creator-only he can carry u thru-Preach Boy

[abce246]

True.

[Mrazluver4]

this song has such a nice flow to it. When it says 'hurricane waters' doesnt it sound kind of like 'birthday party' the first time i heard it I was confused. Is it just me or does it make you a little sad when you listen to it?

[MsSweetestThang]

Simply brilliant....

[0crasyguy0]

I heard this song in the documentary, "Trouble The Water" and liked it!

Check out the documentary as well, it's good.

[flurecentlite]

[livelovelaugh12]

saw him last night in allentown, pa. best fucking show ever, such an amazing performance and great great show and crowd. if you get a chance to see him, def do it up.

[mtb416]

This song has nothing to do with hurricanes to me.

[DanBenez]

Beautiful song!

[redl1ghtdistrikt]

me 2 it was bout hurricane katrina

[JelloToo]

Wow, how often do you see someone admit their mistake? Way to go, crotchrack.

[crotchrack]

Actually Richie Havens Performed this song long berfore citizen cope. But he tears this song up!!

[torc0569]

Actually this song IS originally done by Citizen Cope, and released on his 2004 album "The Clarence Greenwood Recordings". Richie Havens covered it FOUR years later on his 2008 album, "Nobody Left To Crown". While Richie Havens version is ok, it pales in comparison to Cope's and was not recorded "long before". LOL

[crotchrack]

Haha Yeah I did some research after writing this and you are absolutely right. I just heard the Richie Havens version and assumed that he wrote it seeing how he has been around longer. I guess it's like when Johnny Cash covered that NIN song. But yeah Citizen Cope's ORIGINAL is way better than Haven's cover of the song.

[caleb2525]

@torc0569 burn

[dudicule5]

@crotchrack pwn'd

[corn105]

You don't know how long i've been looking 4 this song.. so beautiful and real.

[STORMWYNTA]

4sum reason i think he's talking bout God carrying them through, specially when he say trumpet sounds-that's Biblical if so he gets more kudos

[STORMWYNTA]

Beautiful- an instant fan=heard them in the background called Troubled waters-

[ladypro615]

Me too! I had to look it up! That documentary was touching I loved it and this song was too perfect!

[justchata]
