@@TheRaganator Sage has always flown under the radar and I'm not really sure why. He's got good beats for the club types and great bars for the lyricist types.
It is so fantastic to have Sage back. I have been listening to the pre-release stream on Spin and it's completely different. It's a full turnaround from Li(f)e and is phenomenal. It's darker, more electronic and obviously written from a very different place. Li(f)e was a folk ballad, a retrospective departure note. Copper Gone is a bitter, resentful, necessary return.
Its been an amazing journey to watch Sage progress to the point he's at now. The Best of Times was a very fitting lead in to this album. This album though is something else entirely. Absolutely love it. Great analysis though, you hit the nail of the head.
The last album I bought yes, from a store and communicating with other people, was a healthy distrust. But I still love him, he has his tendencies and style that makes it feel familiar while he explores the great inner mental doors
for someone going through the he'll of rehab, sage is and has always been the most honest and lyrically talented (also, unrecognized) Mc that's ever been in the biz. hats off sage. you're my go to when times are tough.
I have had a chance to see him few years back when he gave a concert in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Copper Gone is the best album of this year so far. I thought Atmosphere would be hard to beat but Sage made it all at a different level. Although English isn't my native language I enjoy listening to Sage's music. Great artist, dope album. Brilliant!
Atmosphere has a great new album out also, its called Southsiders.. Its just too bad that Sage Francis, and Atmosphere doesn't get recognition like they deserve..
Thank you Sage. You inspire introspection, and provide a grandiose view of the inner turmoil writhing in the souls of humanity. You are needed, you are amazing, you are you, and the world is a better place for it. So once again, thank you Sage.
glad to see sage doing so well. I remember watching videos of him on UA-cam that had like 20-40 thousand views and now most of them are half a million+. I don't like hip hop for the most part but sage Francis is one of the artists I listen to the most. His lyrics give me goosebumps even after hearing the same song for the hundredth time.
No MC, poet, anyone, can attack your emotions like Sage can. Damn. I can listen tot his album a million times and will elicit the same emotions from me every time. Keep it up barbudo.
This is the heart beat of the sage Locked up in a waist of time And unavoidable rage Staring into dirty coffee cup Make It up lies to surprise all of us With his wisdom that’s in him Just to earn a simple dime so that he can spend more time ... with his cats Imagine that...
Our favorite rappers are the under dogs they talk about goats the under dog is better then the goat ......we keep our underdogs safe from the mainstream haters mainstream is all haters.....and critics we already know our underdogs artist are dope we understand there craft we value it. Let's keep it that way......I have 1000 fans spand over the internet I'm coo with that they under stand my craft. Anytime I drop a new song it gets some love from my true fans .....haters come out the wood works lol
+SkippyTay Takers I saw him live nine years ago, before the show he lay down for a 10 min sleep beside us and I said to my brother "thats not sage is it? I dunno, just let him sleep" what a show he put on. It was up there with the Roots concert.
one of my favorite songs. thank you for keeping it 100 sage francis. you get me through some of those moments i fear ill end up a documentary on investigation discovery
Good to Hear Sage again i was worried l[i]fe was the Final album! been a fan since Waiting Tables and Copper Gone definitely some of Sages best material....
damn sage, this is album is on one the best Ive ever heard. The music is great and complex. The lyrics are deep and clever. The whole album is just on a different level.
Lyrics: [Hook:] Patience is a virtue, virtue is a grace Grace is a little girl who wouldn’t wash her face Grace is a virtue, virtue is a mean Between two extremes, one of excess, one of deficiencies Patience is a virtue, virtue is a dirty stain Cleanliness is next to godliness and isn’t worth the pain Grace is a virtue, virtue of the pageant And this is not a love ballad [Verse 1:] You suggested Lithium to get me better again That is unless if we, uhm, get together again But that ain’t gonna happen, never again Send my well wishes to your nutritionist Your dietician, your pharmacist Your personal trainer and your accomplices Your partners in thought crime Your criminal group thinking doctors online There is a difference between what is and isn’t Business and friendship Parental assistance and an assistant A permanent solution and a quick-fix A fit body and sound mind A hundred hour weeks, and dangerous amounts of downtime You got a lot to offer, but you’re not an author If I kill your persecution complex that don’t make you a martyr Drop the styrofoam cross, you can’t walk on water You could use it for floatation, not a flying saucer You suggested professional help like I wasn’t mentally well What I was feeling wasn’t meant to be felt Duly noted, you’ll be quoted in the eulogy It’ll be passed off as poetry between you and me I know you know the difference between confession and conjecture Prosity and needing to be lectured to a meet up The student becomes the teacher, the son becomes a parent From a scab to teamster, the sun becomes apparent From a chemical imbalance to a litany of habits And this is not a love ballad [Verse 2:] You should drown me in that womanhood and teach me how to swim Beat me with my own hands and tie down my limbs Suffer for my sins or let me suffer from within But in the end this is not a love ballad We can battle with tattoos to cover up the bruises The first to show any sign of discomfort loses For the first time in a long time you’re not who my muse is And this is not a love ballad I’m not thirsty, I just got hungry eyes, you look appetizing And from a distant stare broken eye contact in disrepair Sometimes I disappear, but now you see me A part Irish goodbye, other part Harry Houdini Put my feet to the fire, I got Satan on my heels If it’s all about prestige, just wait for the reveal I got a new bag of tricks to turn, a new black magic woman bitch to burn So much for live and learn [Hook] [Outro:] Is a music box that haunts me from the top-shelf of the bedroom closet I don’t touch it, it just cuddles with my conscience I’m on constant guard, jittery the whole night Clinging the sheets because it sings to me slow like And that’s her song running through an hourglass Built with two wine bottles that I found in a flower patch Planting it in quicksand, refusing to sink fast Abusing me slow, I hear the music and I think back Before the fall, before the set up Before the interest in sex even developed I fell in love with distance as an ex’s best friend There used to be revenge, but i couldn’t see no end So I had to switch the lens in and focus on some flesh No more clinging to old threads
Gongrats mate! I am very impressed with your new work. Looking forward to see you in the Manchester live performance. Hopefully you will play songs from the Non Prophets project as well! Keep it real
This is a phenomenal album from my favorite artist. Glad he's come back to prove what's real an that he's doing it. This song is one of the big ones on Copper Gone to me, and this video gave me chills several times! Love you guys!
This song is amazing. Lithium - it's almost synchronistic. The words in this song and the things going on in my life. I wouldn't be surprised if a black limosuine pulled up in the driveway now lol.

Be supreme in the art of learning until your mind is righteous and Good is the only state you are until you die. Until exploration of the heavens, walk your righteous path for its laden with fruits to nourish your soul. as for your brothers and sisters of our world, your path binds you to them inherently. Let no soul perish alone, lay your life down for any stranger, give everything you have left once your own body is fed. To influence and inspire is not righteous for each of our will must remain free in full, to choose learning and righteous practices or to carve a different path into time and space . It will come, the choice to share the flora and fauna and firmament of your path with the grace of another. In knowing righteousness do not question or pause in sharing it. Give all, the deepest complexities and sensations. The directions are not yours. Not even merely to keep within unless it does lack impactful meaning. One righteous and wholly honest days work bares the soul I describe, a day of labors taxing both internally and externally, using precise skills refined by endless study, movements or exercise each step rewarding to the point of immeasurable understanding of what enlightenment is or may be. To achieve enlightenment is to follow a path with footprints on which you are not near the soul’s home, but wandering in hopes of meeting criteria for a preconceived idea to which you have contributed no more than a desire, which is by definition selfishness. Thanks. Hc7777
Maaan, Sage, you've been busy in my absence. I've missed so much material since your Sea Lion and Escape Artist days. What an amazing set of stories to come back to. No, I won't be torrenting your new album. This is one I actually don't mind buying. Keep doing your thing man, much respect.
You and Mom are both graceless cannibal types. Hide behind false facades. point fingers at others but never stop to examine your own deeds or lack of in the mirror. Only admire yourselves for stepping over others or tearing them to shreds to get where you are. Bravo! How does it feel sleeping with one eye open every night?
Sage Francis has some great fans. I've only heard good things about the album from other fans. Got to say that I am nothing but impressed by the new album so maybe it's not the fans.

I hope one day it will..

@@sbg_sxeany day now, pretty sure

Amazing song and badass video. Sage is an incredibly unique wordsmith. His contribution to the music industry is so under-appreciated, it's a crime.
I just discovered Sage now i'm binging like Thanksgiving dinner.
I wish there was a way more people knew about this guy. He's amazing.
+anon ymous most of the people that don't listen to him probably wouldn't understand the musci and words😂
Savage lol
Truth
for someone going through the he'll of rehab, sage is and has always been the most honest and lyrically talented (also, unrecognized) Mc that's ever been in the biz. hats off sage. you're my go to when times are tough.
Brilliant!!!
Maximum Respect WordUp!
BlessUp!
I have been listening to this one for years. Sage is amazing. I wish more people knew about this fire
Virtue is relative at best, nothing worse than a sunset when you're driving due west.... -AD
Thank you Sage
But of course… Sage is wrong on virtue
This guy is wicked good. Lyrically unreal
Stand out song on first few listens to album. The build of the music is eerily powerful. Sage shows he's untouchable on Copper Gone.
I have had a chance to see him few years back when he gave a concert in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Copper Gone is the best album of this year so far.

Michelle Hood Atmoshphere has millions of views on all his videos! but both are great artists
+Michelle Hood
that's cause its good music not shit being shoved down the media dick choose to live on
Copper gone is a masterpiece!!! One of the best albums I've ever hear when it comes to spoken word
SO GREAT! Love what you did with the video.
big loves to Sage
love sage francis
love that his music is a kick in the nut to depression, abuse/bullying and the like
Thank you Sage. You inspire introspection, and provide a grandiose view of the inner turmoil writhing in the souls of humanity.
You are needed, you are amazing, you are you, and the world is a better place for it. So once again, thank you Sage.
Now You and Aesop Rock both have a song called "Grace". And I love each one!
One of my faves by Sage.
Woohoo, great choice for a 2nd video!!! Can't wait for June 20th!!
Always my favorite by him
❤❤❤
Can never get enough of this genius
Been listening since 2002's Makeshift Patriot. Scribble Jam Legend.
beautifully composed
Thaught sage Francis horror core then he's all grace is virtue
If I'd had a daughter in this lifetime she would have been named Grace👊🏼💜

Such a great video. Can't wait to see this live in Missoula Wednesday evening! Very excited!
sage is the truth, metaphors with no filter!
Why would anyone give this golden nugget a thumbs down
pure gold sage :)
Big or small we walk with grace and dignity threw the shadows...no more copper gone I can see lights from the dungeon Rawrrr Rawrrr
This was my favourite track on the album on first listen. Great video too.
No MC, poet, anyone, can attack your emotions like Sage can. Damn. I can listen tot his album a million times and will elicit the same emotions from me every time. Keep it up barbudo.
I love sage Francis, every song he writes seems to just find its way into my life somehow, keep writing these masterpieces man.
Going through a break up and its so hard to let go of the past. This song is helping me so much. Much love
Such a great album. This whole release was put together so well. I knew the album would be good, but it just blew me away.
I opened up for him and a good chat with him. Pure legend and brilliant performer !!!
these lyrics ARE ALL THE WAY HOME MATE BRILLIANTLY DONE 1LUV
my new favorite Sage Francis song
This is where is all began holy crap!
This is the heart beat of the sage
Locked up in a waist of time
And unavoidable rage
Staring into dirty coffee cup
Make It up lies to surprise all of us
With his wisdom that’s in him
Just to earn a simple dime so that he can spend more time ... with his cats
Imagine that...

So damn good.
Woah. Genuine chills, that was incredible. Beautiful filmography and concept execution to all artists, both musical and otherwise.
And SAGE one thing that sage does is rid bad spirits !

I can't stop listening to this song. This album is everything I expected and more, Sage. The beat of this song is among my favorite of all your songs.
I love this song
I'm part Irish Goodbye, other part Harry Houdini.
One of my fav lines on this fucking awesome album...
according to Rapgenius it's "pot Irish goodbye"... "Part" makes most sense though.
That site isn't as genius as it purports.
Very nice....Just when I was gonna ask about him. I see this...
This is great. Awesome track and message
Thanks man. Putting my feelings into word. Respect
COPPPPPPER GONNNNNNNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've loved this song (whole album really) since it came out, but this was my first time seeing the video. Almost pissed myself at the end lol!
This💜😍💯 always followed your work. I feel you. Stay true and you, Sage!
never fails to impress
This speaks to me in so many ways... I love your music its like a window into me.!
one of my favorite songs. thank you for keeping it 100 sage francis. you get me through some of those moments i fear ill end up a documentary on investigation discovery
Good to Hear Sage again i was worried l[i]fe was the Final album!

awesome !!
perfect!
I feel it
Lyrics:
[Hook:]
Patience is a virtue, virtue is a grace
Grace is a little girl who wouldn’t wash her face
Grace is a virtue, virtue is a mean
Between two extremes, one of excess, one of deficiencies
Patience is a virtue, virtue is a dirty stain
Cleanliness is next to godliness and isn’t worth the pain
Grace is a virtue, virtue of the pageant
And this is not a love ballad
[Verse 1:]
You suggested Lithium to get me better again
That is unless if we, uhm, get together again
But that ain’t gonna happen, never again
Send my well wishes to your nutritionist
Your dietician, your pharmacist
Your personal trainer and your accomplices
Your partners in thought crime
Your criminal group thinking doctors online
There is a difference between what is and isn’t
Business and friendship
Parental assistance and an assistant
A permanent solution and a quick-fix
A fit body and sound mind
A hundred hour weeks, and dangerous amounts of downtime
You got a lot to offer, but you’re not an author
If I kill your persecution complex that don’t make you a martyr
Drop the styrofoam cross, you can’t walk on water
You could use it for floatation, not a flying saucer
You suggested professional help like I wasn’t mentally well
What I was feeling wasn’t meant to be felt
Duly noted, you’ll be quoted in the eulogy
It’ll be passed off as poetry between you and me
I know you know the difference between confession and conjecture
Prosity and needing to be lectured to a meet up
The student becomes the teacher, the son becomes a parent
From a scab to teamster, the sun becomes apparent
From a chemical imbalance to a litany of habits
And this is not a love ballad
[Verse 2:]
You should drown me in that womanhood and teach me how to swim
Beat me with my own hands and tie down my limbs
Suffer for my sins or let me suffer from within
But in the end this is not a love ballad
We can battle with tattoos to cover up the bruises
The first to show any sign of discomfort loses
For the first time in a long time you’re not who my muse is
And this is not a love ballad
I’m not thirsty, I just got hungry eyes, you look appetizing
And from a distant stare broken eye contact in disrepair
Sometimes I disappear, but now you see me
A part Irish goodbye, other part Harry Houdini
Put my feet to the fire, I got Satan on my heels
If it’s all about prestige, just wait for the reveal
I got a new bag of tricks to turn, a new black magic woman bitch to burn
So much for live and learn
[Hook]
[Outro:]
Is a music box that haunts me from the top-shelf of the bedroom closet
I don’t touch it, it just cuddles with my conscience
I’m on constant guard, jittery the whole night
Clinging the sheets because it sings to me slow like
And that’s her song running through an hourglass
Built with two wine bottles that I found in a flower patch
Planting it in quicksand, refusing to sink fast
Abusing me slow, I hear the music and I think back
Before the fall, before the set up
Before the interest in sex even developed
I fell in love with distance as an ex’s best friend
There used to be revenge, but i couldn’t see no end
So I had to switch the lens in and focus on some flesh
No more clinging to old threads
WOW!! That was great.
Nice work man
"Never Pray Again" great book...
Gongrats mate! I am very impressed with your new work. Looking forward to see you in the Manchester live performance. Hopefully you will play songs from the Non Prophets project as well! Keep it real

Never heard him before. His flow reminds me of Brother Ali while his rhyme style reminds me of Slug. Good shit.

I enjoyed it!
Sage Francis has some great fans. I've only heard good things about the album from other fans. Got to say that I am nothing but impressed by the new album so maybe it's not the fans.
