I have a feeling Clarence will suffer the same fate as many great artists. He will not be recognized or appreciated as he should until after his death. But maybe thats how he would want it. His music is pure.
for one thing, citizen cope is a totally different genre than hendrix and cobain. jimi hendrix's lyrics weren't anything special, it was the guitar mainly that people wanted to listen to. Cobain had nice lyrics, however he sang about a lot of the same things. lets define they're genre's for a second. hendrix-blues/rock. cobain-grunge rock/punk. Citizen Cope-SINGER FUCKING SONGWRITER!!!!!
i hate it when people try to compare different genre's to each other. they're not on the same fuckin level.
@hubba1243 Dude, chill. You gonna stroke out and then it will be much more difficult to type your responses. Really it's not that big a deal. I compare apples to oranges all the time, there are fruit. Hendrix, Cobain and Cope, all wonderfully talented entertainers. Calm brudda!
Yeah this song is extremely powerful and beautiful.. it's not just beiber or some trendy ass group manufactured by corporate media outlets though, so what do you expect? It's the sad nature of the beast, amazing artists usually get fucked by the corporate beasts that run the music industry, especially artists that aren't spewing out stupid music tailor made for 13 yr old girls.
His talent is amazing. This song has touched me like not many have. The freedom to view music and its creation is what we should all try to preserve. My fear is that we are heading down a bad path in our country. Music can save the world.
Amazing artist. Heard him for the first time today and I can't get enough. For everyone else, quit focusing on his hair & the way he looks.. it's about the music, everything else is irrelevant.
yeah man he's awesome, but why the hell would you want him to get "HUGE"? he is putting out his music and people love it, who gives a fuck if you see him of some TRL bullshit man
Kylekimchi we don't ask you like this artist. Everybody's musical tastes are different and that is fine. However for those of us who think he is truly amazing and an extremely talented artist, please take your attitude elsewhere. "needs a haircut"?? That doesn't even matter. Please, go back to your Alexis on fire and leave Citizen Cope be.
I love this f'n band. Ever since I studied a semester in Australia I started listenin to them and I love it! I'm going to see them in 2 weeks in Lawrence, KS.
YALL SHOULD HEAR THE ONE WITH SANTANA

I think this song played acoustic is so much better than when it's backed with all the instrumentals. This is just so raw and tugs at your emotions.

Just repeat this 3 chord pattern for verses:
Em- with the E on 7th fret A string
D(5)- D on 5th fret A string
D#(b5)- Just move D up a half step
D(5) same chords for chorus too...
Then the chorus is just:
Am- A on 7th fret D string, Em, D#(b5), D(5)
