Citizen Cope aka Clarence Greenwood is an individual who looks for the deeper meaning in life and his surroundings. You can see this reflected in his lyrics which are an expression of who he is and what goes on around him. With his newest album The Rain Water
, he ended up self-releasing it after the record companies wanted to give it a bit of a nip and tuck and change it to their specifications. I’ve heard the album and I’ve seen the cover art, I don’t know what these people thought needed to be different on Cope’s new album but I believe it would have lost some of its essence had he went that way. The name of the album has a deeper personal meaning for Cope. “It’s pure,” he says. “It’s also the name of someone that was close to me when I was growing up, so it just makes sense.”
