    The lyrics bring the truth of the last 10 months to light. Lost the Love if my Life in March, and Cope has helped. Like he sings"I Couldn't Explain Why" for the passing of the sweetest man I ever met. Soar high Donald

    every time i listen to cope it makes my day. in my opinion music is amazing when you hear it for the first time and you cant get enough of it thats when you know the song is a classic not like the repetitive music they play on the radio that you hate and then little by little you end up liking media washes up everyones head with the crappy music they play now in days anyways thank you God for having people like cope in the world.

    Everytime I listen to Citizen Cope on youtube I have a strange feeling. I believe I belong to that great small group of people who love them as much as I do. And on one hand I would like the rest of the world to finally appreciate them, but on the other I like that feeling of being the part of a secret wonderful small funclub ;)

    In a couple of hours
    The morning is coming
    And I'm hittin' the door runnin,
    The gasoline is burning
    And I couldn't explain why
    The message that I have been given
    Could have us drown
    In the river
    Still I gotta deliver it
    And I couldn't explain why
    I hold a couple of grudges
    Could have had a couple of touches
    If I hadn't had a couple of crutches
    And I couldn't explain why
    The world keeps turning
    The sun keeps burning
    For all to learn what
    Heavens only knows
    Why do some
    Get taken too young
    All these answers
    That heaven only knows
    The wheels are turning
    Churching all types of emotion
    Strong as the oceans
    And I couldn't explain why
    This message that I have been given
    Could have me drown by the river
    Still I gotta deliver it
    And I couldn't explain why
    I hold a couple of grudges
    Could have had a couple of touches
    If I hadn't had a couple on crutches
    And I couldn't explain why

    everything about this song makes me feel like everything is going to be okay. I feel fresh and young with the world ahead of me. This song helps me forget about all the corrupt people with hate in their hearts. Listening to this song makes me want to go out and find Clarence and listen to him live for hours. This song runs through me and fills me with the feeling that life is good and it will be okay.

    i feel so proud of Clarence Greenwood. My mom bought his cd (containing only 3 songs) over like 10 years ago when he opened for a concert band. I grew up listening to that cd over and over loving Sideways, Contact, and Drummers Gonna Kick. we were so happy to learn he had more songs when we checked online years ago. and ecstatic to find some songs on tv!! I wish he knew we existed... I'm almost 19 and i listened to him when i was in elementary school

    "In a couple of hours
    The morning is coming
    And I'm hittin' the door runnin,
    The gasoline is burning
    And I couldn't explain why
    The message that I have been given
    Could have us drown
    In the river
    Still I gotta deliver it
    And I couldn't explain why
    I hold a couple of grudges
    Could have had a couple of touches
    If I hadn't had a couple of crutches
    And I couldn't explain why
    The world keeps turning
    The sun keeps burning
    For all to learn what
    Heavens only knows
    Why do some
    Get taken too young

    Straight up one of the best music vids I've ever seen. It really captures the connection between CG and the audience. Such a great representation of the everyday life we all experience. It's the symbolism of the people enduring the elements (albeit nothing harsh or life altering) just as the performer does and the message that we are all there to experience a singular, communal moment. The audience clearly appreciates and reveres Clarence and he seems to return the favor.
