Who's To Blame?
I don't remember, so I'll just say it was either Jesus or Batman.
Why ♥ It?
The cool thing about a folk artist from Brooklyn is that you can expect some soulful vocal work. In particular, I would've assumed Citizen Cope was a rapper with a guitar from this song. The delivery is casual like a rap, but with a hint of tune. (not to be confused with autotune)
Also, the rest of the track is simple. The rhythm guitar only ever plays four chords, in the same order and style every time. The bass, same story. My n-year old family member could probably play the drums for much of the track. They all sound great, but take a backseat by design to the heavy & soulful sound of the vocals.
I really like the clapping sound that starts near the outro of the song. Adds another layer, and I'm sure it would liven the song up a little live. The guitar lead there could be tinkered as well, but it's great for the studio track in its simplicity.
I keep using the word simple, but don't let that deter you. Anything more involved would rob the song of its soulful folk charm.
