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 Changes Your Mind
Copeland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you see the joy in her eyes it makes you feel
It makes you feel
She draws your eye from all the things that made you numb
And makes you feel, and makes you feel
If I could open up my heart and let her out
I would never have to say her name aloud
And your "Goodbye" that keeps me listening for your voice around each corner
It keeps me listening for your voice around each corner
And I'll sing a songs
To help me stay up all night long 'cause I don't want to go to sleep
And I'll sing a song
And hope you're listening carefully
To know exactly what I mean
And you know exactly what I mean when I say
If I could open up my heart and let her out
I would never have to say her name aloud
It was your "Hello" that kept me hanging on every word
And your "Goodbye" that keeps me listening for your voice around each corner
It keeps me listening for your voice around each corner
It's the song you must seek out when your night has just begun
In the distance you can find the lips from which the song comes out
It was your "Hello" that kept me hanging on every word
And your "Goodbye" that keeps me listening for your voice around each corner
I was hanging on every word
And your "Goodbye," it keeps me listening for your voice around each corner
It keeps me listening for your voice around each corner

The chorus explains how the singer wishes to express his love completely, to the point where he would never have to say her name aloud, because his heart would be open for her already.

The phrase "it keeps me listening for your voice around each corner" serves to emphasize the constant anticipation and longing that the singer feels.
Overall, the lyrics describe the transformative power of love, and how it can inspire us to new adventures and open us up to previously unknown emotions.
