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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can feel you in the morning sun
You warm me like no other one
Forever yours
Your voice is fading, I call your name
'Cause I'm still here
And the only thing that's left for me is listening
It's the only way I make it through the night
Am I just dying inside, living all alone here?
In a storm of quiet voices
You're the only one that I can never find
Just say you're mine and the fog would lift
'Cause the only thing that's missing now is everything
It's the only way I make it through the night
Are we just fooling ourselves, living in the moment?
Am I just dying inside, living all alone here?
In a storm of quiet voices
You're the only one that I can never find
In the morning light, in the darkest night
And in between, I'm forever yours
I hear you call my name, it never sounds the same
I hear you call my name
If only I could call out through the void to reach you
If only I could stretch across the depths to hold you
If only for a moment I could make two parts a whole
If only for a moment I could rest beside your soul
The song "Chiromancer" by Copeland is a beautiful and emotional ballad about missing someone who has passed away. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and desperation to be reunited with the loved one, but also an acceptance that this may not be possible in this life. The opening lines, "Forever yours, and I can feel you in the morning sun," suggest that the person who has passed away is still present in some way, but this presence is fading over time. The singer is comforted by this presence, which warms him like no one else can, but he is also haunted by the fact that he can't hold onto it forever.
As the song progresses, the singer grapples with his own feelings of loneliness and isolation. He wonders if he's just fooling himself by clinging to memories and living in the moment. He also acknowledges that he's not the same person he used to be since the loved one passed away, and he feels like a part of him is missing. The line, "Just say you're mine and the fog would lift," implies that the singer is struggling to find direction or purpose in life without the person he's lost.
Overall, "Chiromancer" is a deeply moving song that expresses a range of emotions related to grief and loss. It captures the paradoxical feeling of being both comforted and haunted by memories of the past, and it offers a poignant meditation on what it means to truly love someone.

Forever yours
I belong to you forever
And I can feel you in the morning sun
I feel your warmth and love every morning
You warm me like no other one
Your love is unique and special
Your voice is fading, I call your name
I miss you and wish you were here
'Cause I'm still here
I'm still alive
And the only thing that's left for me is listening
All I can do now is listen and hope to hear your voice
It's the only way I make it through the night
Hearing your voice is what gives me strength to make it through the dark times
Are we just fooling ourselves, living in the moment?
Maybe we're just pretending that our love will last forever
Am I just dying inside, living all alone here?
I feel like I'm slowly losing myself without you here
In a storm of quiet voices
In a world full of chaos and noise
You're the only one that I can never find
I feel lost without you and cannot find my way back
Just say you're mine and the fog would lift
If only you would say you're mine, everything would be better
'Cause the only thing that's missing now is everything
I feel like I've lost everything without you
In the morning light, in the darkest night
No matter what time of day or night it is, I'm yours
And in between, I'm forever yours
No matter what happens, I will always belong to you
I hear you call my name, it never sounds the same
I long to hear your voice again, but it will never be the same as before
If only I could call out through the void to reach you
If only I could find a way to communicate with you again
If only I could stretch across the depths to hold you
I wish I could hold you and be with you again
If only for a moment I could make two parts a whole
If only we could be together again, even for just a moment
If only for a moment I could rest beside your soul
I just want to be close to you and feel your presence again
