Worth A Listen 2/10

+________________________________
AMAZING!

I love love love Citizen Cope and his newest album came out yesterday, The RainWater LP. His combination of guitar, piano and overall chill vibe make me melt and there's something about his dirty look I love too, no surprises there. I mean when you name your kid Clarence you gotta hope something good is going to come from it right? Listen to it in full on AOL here. My top 2 tunes are Lifeline & Jericho (which oddly has some urban undertones to it and was a welcome surprise).



When you're so long gone, you can't help yourself
When you're so dead wrong
Let alone no one else

Well the children still dying in the streets
The babies still living with disease
The cops got guns, the poor folks got sons
Who work for Mr. Franklin every week

If you've come looking for hard times
Hard times ain't hard to find
Cause we've been given that lifeline
Only once in a lifetime

Baby we were born
Maybe we were born
To be sure ... to endure
When the storm comes

Got them sad eyes
Got them cat eyes
Got your angels tired
From saving your life

So you would be best
To contain yourself
Before you end up killed

His bare feet
Touch her bare feet
The air breaths sweet
At the mountains peak

And I forgot
What the wise man said
About that ancient thread

If you've come looking for hard times
Hard times ain't hard to find
Cause we've been given that lifeline
Only once in a lifetime

Baby we were born
Maybe we were born
To be sure ... to endure
When the storm comes

Baby we were born
Maybe we were born
To be rejoice ... to rejoice
When it succumbs
