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.

She's Always a Woman
Copeland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She can wound with her eyes.
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies.
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me.
She can lead you to love
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you.
And she'll take what you give her,
As long as it's free.
She steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me.
Oh-she takes care of herself.
She can wait if she wants.
She's ahead of her time.
Oh-well she never gives out,
And she never gives in,
She just changes her mind.
She'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden.
She'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me.
La da da da da, da da da da da da, uhh uhh uhh uhh uhh uhh oohh oohh ohh ohhhh ohhhhhh
Oh- she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time.
Oh-well she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind.
She's frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She'll do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
She can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me.
She's Always a Woman is a song by American rock band Copeland from the album You Are My Sunshine. The song was written by Billy Joel and originally released in 1977. The lyrics of the song describe a complex and elusive woman, whom the singer is in love with. The woman is described as being able to kill with a smile, wound with her eyes, and ruin faith with casual lies. Despite these negative descriptions, the singer is still drawn to her, and sees her as someone who is always a woman to him, even when she is hiding like a child or stealing like a thief.
The lyrics of the song are powerful because they describe a character who is both alluring and dangerous at the same time. The woman is described as being able to take care of herself, being ahead of her time, and changing her mind frequently. At the same time, she is also frequently kind and suddenly cruel, able to promise more than the Garden of Eden, and laugh while cutting you. However, despite her flaws, the singer accepts her just the way she is, because to him she is always a woman.
The song has been interpreted in different ways by different people. Some see it as a romantic ode to a complex lover, while others see it as a warning against getting involved with someone who is dangerous and unpredictable. Whatever the interpretation, the song remains a classic and is still popular today.
