Citizen Cope - "Bullet And A Target"

[lookbabenoparachute]

this song is deep. check out my music

[musicloveromg]

i bet he got high and wrote this song

[CrazyHawse]

I find Cope's flow is magnetizing! His music drowns me in cool

[chapanday]

no homo, but i love this dude

[jeffhenderson74]

this is a bad ass song, Cope's the man

[KabongsStories]

He was the only one playing.. who was he counting in at the beginning? DId he not know he was alone? Hahaha

[KaSuMixPL]

@KabongsStories hahaha, bro you should be a comedian.

Who cares? : |

[22onkelz]

de hussal und de same :D

[knite778778]

speaks to my soulll

[librachoke1]

I love this guy! to bad he is high on Heroin!!! such a shame, look at his glazed eyes

[Misterhyde92]

@librachoke1 i dont think so, for heroin he sings to fast in is to perfect in his flow..he just smoke a nice joint :D

[kavinosto]

@librachoke1 you cant see his eyes...

[0funnyrabbit0]

@librachoke1 the muscles in his face were damaged from drug use and is now clean. im pretty positive he isn't on heroin because most of his songs are about being healed and whatnot, which in my opinion is referring to his struggle with drugs and other problems.

[librachoke1]

@0funnyrabbit0 I can guarantee you that I am more positive then you! my friend who is also a musician is very good friends with him here in NY knows firsthand the disappointment that he is still getting high. good luck with your observations in the future with no firsthand knowledge

[BrianDWalker3445]

good music but he needs to stop using so many drugs...He really looks like shit

[Reecebigsmall]

all.time best song :)

[robjames11jimbo]

love this song

[Eniwey]

i want the chords ! *_*

[knite778778]

@Eniwey it's sorta palm-muted:

3x00xx

1300xx

x310xx

x130xx

[toolff83]

he is always stoned, and thats great cuz he writes kick ass tunes when he's toasted.

[falloutmopsi]

this song is baaaaaaad ass!!! love it!

[lilshay546]

gahh those lyrics mean sooo much. he is such a talented poet. I love it!!!

[Zaksenal]

can people stop making lame comments about people who dislike videos, yes they're prats for doing so but seriously whats the point

[rockdro]

kind of reminds me of everlast

but better

[crimsonjunk]

@rockdro

[crimsonjunk]

@rockdro I think Everlast is better.

[tjsylla]

20 people put themselves between a bullet and a target...idiots..

[pjramsay]

i like how the recordings so rustic and relaxed. Makes me enjoy it more than plastic, perfected and remastered music!

[zippL0ck]

 Boss tune .

Cool as fuck .

[tieisthe23]

i just heard of him by a friend 3 days ago and went to see him in boston and was blown awayy.... soo amazing so chill nd relaxed i love him already so real

[OniLink977]

He is ugly in this vid

[CrystalDawn0]

@OniLink977 If you have looked any other pictures of him, this is what he looks like. I'm not saying he looks ugly (like it's even relevant) but I'm sure this is how he looks all the time. It's good music, let appreciate it.

[tjsylla]

@OniLink977 , its called cocaine

[ryanslow210]

If you have never seen him live...I pity you

[brian37ga]

@ryanslow210 I had never heard of him until I saw him perform live at Bama Jam 2010 this year, I didn't know what to expect when he started to play but I think his performance was one of the best I saw that whole weekend.

[calltorock]

I'm always skeptical of singer-songwriters but when I saw this guy live I was blown away. Pure soul.

[IridescentVelocity]

@calltorock PURE is right

[lynchya898]

he sounds like a hick..if he is than this is the first one i like

[NickDD13]

he dips too much lmfao

[kneelingglory]

I like Bliss n Eso's version way better. This doesn't have even close to the right kind of energy for the subject.

[Bngbravo]

@kneelingglory listen to the studio version, much more emotion. being a fan of bliss (they're mad) i still think this version is much better :) just my opinion though

[IamPieFlavored]

@kneelingglory fuck you

[masterofmetal80]

@IamPieFlavored what is ur problem mate ? its his oppinion and he gave a good reason for his opinion so whats the problem xD

[maryJ204]

wow! I like his voice

[MrMartind15]

This Is how its done !

[pjmuench]

he must be playing an alternate tuning.. the chords are Gm F Cm Bb but thats not what he's playing.... anyone know what he's playing here? sounds great

[iBeKillinTime]

junkies make the best tunes

[mannwald]

Heard this at the end of the movie The Sentinel, good movie, good song!!

[jonatbaylor]

reminds me a bit of G love

[bugabuga94]

He sings from his heart, that's what tutu from Washington said on his concert in Kauai last Friday, it was cool, she even took some pictures of him, she loved his songs.

[drcooljk]

Covers bliss n eso's song?wtf

[franticey]

i didn't know about this guy untill i saw seasons - the collective, its an amasing MTB film and the sound tarck is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

[lexel992]

@franticey yeah mee to! :)

[buybulkwhey]

Who really cares what he used to be or what he is on...my ears are pleased!

[Notg3ilerdrecks4ck]

this song is rerally nice, sounds so good!

I love it. Hope he'll make many new songs!

[drpeppa2357]

He nows how to work that drawl

[musiclive999]

LOVE this version and his intricate guitar playing on this version

check out my live version recorded of "Son's Gonna Rise!"

[Andrewross07]

He's the best, really, I can't wait til tomorrows 9:30 club show!!

[Andrewross07]

C is great! And that actually is a nice, even a traditional shirt, looks like a button-down collar, and wearing a sport jacket on top of it-he's actually dressed to impress. Look, this cat is cool, his aura is almost impossible to describe, but he is deep in all of our musical hearts-and I haven't even seen him live yet!! May 1 @ 930 club tho...

[102rancid]

man this guy looks like he's leaning hardcore

[Murderologist]

@102rancid this is true. gotta balance that shit out

[DJMarksman]

The brother is a ex crackhead,so he might be on some meds,so what,he's still great.

[THEjackel4545]

he is amazing

[surfelam]

So sick, saw him last night in New Orleans. This guy is amazing, he is a master at what he does.

[GSarovich]

This guys taking huge leaps in music, it's like reggae meets soul meets acoustic. Superrr innovation and raw as fuck in my opinion. He reminds me of a black soul singer 100%. Good stuff.

[rashneesh]

just look at his eyes he is sick and he is playin this song with no emotion im no hate'n ive just seen him do this sooo much better

[abelincolnhahaha]

wow hes just enjoying his talent bye closing his eyes and listening to his great singing

[mummylambs]

I think he's married to a black chic.

[miiiichelle91]

he does look high or something but whatever hes still great, i love this version <333

[ERWN207]

he´s awesome!

[jleon007]

nah IDK if hes stoned, I personally think hes in the zone man...he believes what he sings u know...or maybe he's high who knows lol...but I love this version, his acoustic stuff is awsome...

[ShockWaveDS13]

he looks like he lives on the streets i like the song but not like this ._.

[shnabbey]

so all musicans have to conform to the media standards?

i like how he dresses, expresses what he believes in.

his music is what matters.. not his damn shirt.

seriously.. wtf...

[xTheLiLaGirLx]

luv this song <333

[sainthollywd]

yeah he looks pretty waisted

but he kind of always does

look at any of these live clips

he's seems to be baked/drunk/exhausted or all three

hey whatever works!

[Rockshotz]

He's at The Wiltern in los angeles on 4/7!

[ManuFlayDH]

he is a little drugged

[cubalibre911]

a great song!!

does anybody know which riffs he use?

[BecauseOfBoredom]

yes.

[cubalibre911]

@BecauseOfBoredom so were could I find them

[BecauseOfBoredom]

[jabrahante]

Citizen Cope is a beast!!

[nickiesghetto]

[reggies1girl]

[MrJordanMaszcak]

c.c . no one better

[AbdiXL]

Dude this guy is cool, very incredible cover

[felineluvr]

Uhmmm....it isn't a cover....it's his song

[BORDELLSOUNDZOL10]

his voice is amazing

[kaub014]

amazing song, so deep

but one serious question, does he have any top teeth?

[turbo1000rr]

@kaub014 i dont the he does...herion is a strong drug...damn shame,,all this tallent gonna go to waist

[felineluvr]

Yes he does....you can see them when he smiles in some of his videos (he has a very nice smile by the way)! He has an underbite like millions of other people.

[onlylettersinname]

does any one know what the chords hes playin are?

[ilgrecoxxx]

Bravo! Ha una voce davvero particolare

[freeblefrable]

great song ,what happen to his face it looks like something happen

[chercerus]

the drugs^^

[felineluvr]

Who cares if he is higher than a kite....I don't think anything can stop the talent he has! Love CC and love this soul-wrenching song! It is one of those songs that gets stuck in your head and you just can't stop it (which is fine because it is fabulous).

[duckbill58]

wtf u mean this sounds horrible????? this is incredible!

[devineso]

the performance is great! The song sounds real.

[richman708]

he sounds horribale

[dhdh111]

did he write this song?

[ChUcKBThe13tH]

yea he did and he is a great artist this guy got some talent who cares if he stoned lol

[solitsolit1]

yes

[BigFatSandwich]

You should really spend less time trolling on the internet.

[Blickity413]

He says in his interviews that drinking and drug use damaged muscles in his face, including his mouth and those around his eyes. Other than that, he is no dirtier than anyone I know.  Much cleaner than some.

[zeous11]

Classic. This song has so much meaning.

LOVE it.

[ZachPankratz]

I remember this song from The Sentinal (that movie with Michael Douglas and Keifuer Sutherland

[jabel21]

raw talent

[col888888]

I'd never heard of this guy till I found some of his songs on youtube today, I love real talent like that, so much better than all that mass manufactured pop crap.

[xxdevcxx]

if you get an opportunity, go see the dude perform..well worth it..

[truth34bos]

I Agree, one of the best live shows ive seen in a long time...very much worth it

[thomson146]

agree X3

amazing show. met him after it too.

nice guy.

[LeOurs94]

sideways is a great song too

[gorgiii]

The best artist ever with the most unique voice greatttttt!!!!!!!!!!

[RippedIntoTheNet]

What kinda drugs do you gotta take to look like that? My god he looks like he smoked something hard right before he shot this video.

[l3eReal]

he was shot in the face dipshit but he does smoke weed

[LFCHAYDLFC]

shot right in the face?

[xr0v3rx]

hahaha..your kinda right..he looks like hese all sorts of messed up

[xielanx1]

his got a heroin druggie's voice, this guy definitely did some hard shit in his life, however his music is amazing

[maddio274]

ohhh my gosh!!! hes amazing!!! i loved him from the second my dad showed me this!!! i love his unique voice!!! its so unique it makes me want to hear more!!! lol(:

[RancidFloo]

Great !!!!

[katakali]

amazing artist!!!

[Mikizzle15]

Citizen Cope is sooooooooooo HOTT. Yeah he looks stoned and has an awkward look, but that's what makes him unique. He doesn't care what people think about his looks. He's more into the music than his looks. His music and lyrics make him a sensational person. You can really tell that the words he writes come from his heart and they will touch someone's heart if they haven't already!!!

[fatalmaverick]

He is stoned

[mallie79]

so am i..

[AlexVarela909]

I met him when he came to co.He spent like 300$ on just shoes.

[gossipgirliscoolio]

I just saw his concert, it was awesome! I saw the concert in montclair.

[5447whatsmynumber]

me too! his show was def amazing, he was so great. I really liked alice smith there, too. she's got one helluva a voice!

[DarkForce187]

i like this version better.Does anybody have the tabs to this?

[duckbill58]

are you stupid lol this is the easiest song in the world.... not saying its not brilliant

[ferniechapa]

just because your dumb ass can half-assedly strum through the chords doesnt mean your playing it right,

[sickassguitarist]

its not hard at all

[davidmaust]

i had the pleasure of meeting him at a buddies house in Charlotte NC, and he is like 6'3'' and a really cool dude.

[jriggs2k1]

Ive seen him in concert twice.. hes amazing

[robertosan1976]

Lucky you, let´s see if one day he visits the canary islands, i wouldn´t miss it

[MCyingDJyang]

Hes a Heroin addict...

[tomtomurn]

hahaha ya i know he aint a crack head he just looks half gone when he sings...it makes him sound better

[reaprscall]

he's not a crackhead and he does have teeth, lol. I actually think he sings with dip in his mouth...

[tomtomurn]

these lyrics are amazying....the crackhead singin it makes it so much better because he doenst need no fuckin studio to sound good...all those new singers sound perfect on cd or vid and live sounds like a god dam smoker will aperantally rich parents

[autumnraew]

These lyrics are pretty powerful. This guy is good.

[balchy]

lol loved the way he mubled though that! as if wtf surely hes some major rackhead!

[mrtavares]

Is it me or he is totally under the influence?

[tman7373]

it seems to me, that he has no teeth

[gspar427]

no teeth = musical genious.... so get rid of yo teeth and get dentures already

[caroldeppparadis]

wonderful song by a wonderful voice.

[zelemont]

Personally i love the guitar in this version. It sounds better than the record.

[mrmiagi145]

I agree with wallsacc. this is nothing against the song but the guitar in this version is def off. could have been much better

[wallsacc]

he can barely play his own song on guitar

[mattandr3ws]

Maybe you should see this man live? Idiot.

[wallsacc]

isnt that what i just did? dumbass

[wallsacc]

really? watching a video recording of someone playing live isnt like seeing them live? also i like citizen cope, i just think hes way to F'ed up to play his own song here. if anything, being on video gives him as many tries as he wants to get it right. you're a donkey. "you're the dumbass if you think..." nice grammar donkey

[Recovrd1]

Hey fuck boy! "YOU'RE" means YOU ARE! As in You are an ignorant fool for pointing out that my grammar was wrong when it wasn't!" Oh and by the way, "WASN'T" means WAS NOT. It is called a "contraction." Look into it...

[Recovrd1]

Hey moron, you're the dumbass if you think that watching someone on youtube accounts for seeing them live. Fool. The ignorance of your statement astounds me! You earn the most ignorant statement of the day that I read for that one! Way to go you imbecil.

[jarvis440]

I blame socialism here.

[zelemont]

You are both tools. Internet flame wars? Really?

[coyotethedon]

it looks as if he is about to pass out throughout the performance. tight shit. hot shit.

[WalzFilm]

chilled song

[riazr88]

He is definately Stoney baloney

[bodaj555]

too legit of a song i love it

[jhoughton4]

he's always so stoned. but we love him

[sokolsokol27]

is he opening his mouth? lol

great song i love it

[meadow5265]

This song was played at the funeral for a friend of mine who died of a herion overdose.

[WhineyGuitarplayer]

tough stuff

[DxMxNxC]

hahaha he's so stoned here =P

[lfuru831]

great song

[TheBookofD]

this is great song. both musically good and simple (easy to learn) but at the same time its really powerful!

[bryantwho]

sounds like the black keys

[doccheddah]

this song sucks? shit man, listen to the lyrics...yeah musically it's simple but maybe that's the point. just sayin.

[LazyPanda67]

there is no way this song sucks i havent heared (cant spell) in forever but this is gold

[bennyhanna10]

ya his new shit sucks

[jriggs2k1]

I dont think he can write a bad song.. really
