1) are an American indie rock group, originating in the city of Lakeland, Florida. Originally formed from Ev Angel in 2000 by singer Aaron Marsh (who also plays the guitar, mellotron, organ, and piano) with his friend, bassist and backup singer James Likeness and Thomas Blair on guitar. Guitarists Bryan Laurenson (who took the place of Blair in 2002), and his brother Stephen (joined in late 2007), along with drummer Jon Bucklew (who took the place of Rusty Fuller, who was replaced after appearing on 2003's rookie full-length, Beneath Medicine Tree) give the band an original feel that makes Copeland what they are. In 2002, they signed a record deal with independent label The Militia Group and released their debut album Beneath Medicine Tree a year later. They operate out of Atlanta, Georgia and have a calm, pop-rocky sound. In 2004, 2005, and 2006 they performed at the annual Cornerstone Florida Festival in Orlando, Florida. In Motion, Copeland's second full length CD, was released on March 22, 2005. Eat, Sleep, Repeat, Copeland's third full length album, was released on October 31, 2006. Major label Columbia Records signed the band in late 2006.
Beneath Medicine Tree features a heavy medical theme. Aaron Marsh admits that the lyrics in this album were inspired by the hospitalisation of his girlfriend and the death of his grandmother. The album booklet includes photographs by James Likeness of hospital scenes.
On November 20, 2007 Copeland released Dressed Up & in Line a B-Sides and fourth full length album.
Lead singer Aaron Marsh has lent his voice to other bands such as Underoath, on their album They're Only Chasing Safety, Anberlin on Cities, Lydia on their album Illuminate, and Sleeping With Sirens – Let Love Bleed Red. In 2017, Marsh released a full length album in collaboration with Ivan Ives: "Rabbit In The Snare" by The Lulls in Traffic.
On July 18, 2007 James Likeness made public his decision to no longer be a part of Copeland. He cited pursuing a career as a graphic designer (a field in which he has a college degree) as a chief reason in his decision to leave the band.
Copeland released their new full-length album entitled "You Are My Sunshine" on October 14th, 2008. The release strays a good distance from the more pop themed "Eat, Sleep, Repeat" in that it showcases slower songs laced with falsetto and synth.
On October 29, 2009 the band announced that it was breaking up. They announced a final farewell tour for 2010 and left open the possibility of recording a final album as well.
In March 2014, the band announced its reunion and the imminent release of a new album, entitled Ixora.

3. I Can Make You Feel Young Again
Copeland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
take me anywhere you're going.
Cause I can't stay here;
I won't make it long.
And this piece of my soul you're controlling,
in this time and this space where we belong, it's worsening.
It's breaking down,
as a reel of thread unwinding.
just to take me down.
When I feel like I'm dead,
you're reviving me.
A billion stars and here we are,
the same bit of dirt holding our weight.
And before it drags us under,
I can make you feel young again.
I can make you feel nothing at all for the years
that lead you here.
Now all your tears that have fallen will never show.
I can make you feel young again.
Your breathing is quickening.
Take my lungs; I owe you.
Lost and cold now,
there's a place in my arms I can keep you.
A billion stars and here we are,
the same bit of dirt holding our weight.
And before it drags us under,
I can make you feel young again.
I can make you feel nothing at all for the years
that lead you here.
Now all your tears that have fallen will never show.
I can make you feel young again.
The opening line, "Take me now; take me anywhere you're going", sets the tone for "I Can Make You Feel Young Again" by Copeland. The song touches on the struggles of the soul and the search for a way to feel alive again. Copeland sings about feeling lost and out of place, to the point where he can't stay where he is because he won't make it long. This line illustrates a deep desire for change but the inability to do it alone. Copeland seems to be relying on someone else to take him to a better place where he can feel renewed.
The lyrics mention "this piece of my soul you're controlling," which suggests that someone else has a significant amount of power over his well-being. This could be a metaphor for a relationship, a profession, or a toxic habit. Copeland recognizes that he's in a place where he doesn't belong, and it seems as though he's searching for a way out. Throughout the song, he sings about things falling apart or breaking down, indicating his desire for change.
In the chorus, Copeland sings, "I can make you feel young again," which shows that although he's struggling himself, he wants to help others too. By using the metaphor of feeling young again, he's offering a sense of renewal, hope, and rejuvenation to those who may be feeling lost or broken. Overall, the song is a message of resilience and the idea that even though things may be falling apart, there's always a way out.
