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.

Another Day in Paradise
Copeland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep. Is there somewhere you can tell me?"
He walks on, doesn't look back, he pretends he can't hear her.
He starts to whistle as he crosses the street, seems embarrassed to be there.
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you and me in paradise.
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you, you and me in paradise.
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet, she can't walk, but she's trying. (trying)
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you and me in paradise.
Oh, (oh) think twice, (oh) it's just another day for you, you and me in paradise.
Oh Lord, is there nothing more anyone can do?
Oh oh Lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face, you can see that she's been there.
Probably been moved on from everyplace, cause she didn't fit in there.
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you and me in paradise.
Oh, (oh) think twice, (oh) it's just another day for you, you and me in paradise.
Just think about it, oh
It's just another day for you and me in paradise
It's just another day for you and me oh
In Copeland's song Another Day in Paradise, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of a homeless woman who is reaching out to people on the street for help. The woman is desperate for a place to sleep and when she reaches out to the first man she sees, he ignores her and walks away, pretending not to hear her. The lyrics also describe the woman's physical state, including blisters on her feet from walking for so long.
The chorus of the song encourages the listener to "think twice" about their own life and the privileged position they are in compared to someone like the homeless woman. The song acknowledges that while it may be just another normal day for someone living in comfort, for someone who is struggling to find basic necessities like a place to sleep, every day is a struggle.
The bridge of the song questions whether there is anything else that can be done to help someone like the homeless woman, and begs for some kind of intervention or solution to the problem.
Overall, Another Day in Paradise is a thought-provoking and sobering reminder of the plight of those living on the streets, and the stark contrast between the privileged lives of many and the daily struggles that others must endure just to survive.
