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) is a stage name of psychedelic rock musician Jasper West, who began using the name in March of 2022. Jasper was born and lives in the Southeastern United States, and is a multi-instrumentalist who has released self-produced and played material since April of 2023.
Should You Return
Copeland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all I want is just a love to make it hurt
Cause all I need is something fine to make me loose
Now its a funny way I find myself with you
Because this song is all I have to make me feel
And all it takes is just a love to make it hurt
And every sound erased in time could make me loose
[Chorus]
But now there's nothing left to do but waste my time
I never knew where to move on, I never knew what to rely upon
Now there's nothing left to say to change your mind
And if you're unhappy still I will be hanging on your line
Should you return, should you return, should you return
Because the night is all I have to make me fear
And all I want is just a drink to make it worth while
Cause all I need is someone close to make me loose
Now its a funny way I find myself with you
[Chorus]
And now there's nothing left to do to draw your eyes
(and now there's nothing left to do)
I never knew where to move on, I never knew what to rely upon
And now there's nothing left to say to change your mind
And if you're just sinking down I will be pulling on your line
[Chorus]
Should you return, should you return, should you return
The lyrics in Copeland's song "Should You Return" reflect on the feelings of uncertainty and insecurity that one might experience after a breakup. The singer seems to be struggling to move on and is caught between wanting to be alone and wanting to be with someone who can make them feel better. The first verse describes the singer's fear of the night, which can be seen as a metaphor for their fear of being alone. They want to find someone who will love them even though it hurts because they feel like that's better than being alone. The second verse similarly touches on the idea that the song is the only thing that makes the singer feel anything at all, and that love (even if it's painful) is what gives their life meaning. The chorus acts as a sort of surrender to the situation, acknowledging that the singer doesn't know how to move on or change their ex-partner's mind, but is still willing to hold onto the hope that they might come back.
In the final verse, the singer seems to be trying to convince themselves that they can be okay on their own. They want to be able to find comfort in a drink or in just being close to someone, but they know that they're not really okay. The repeated phrase "should you return" at the end of each chorus feels like a plea or a prayer, hoping that their ex might change their mind and come back to them. Overall, the lyrics express a sense of vulnerability and confusion, with the singer unsure of what to do next but still clinging to the possibility of reconciliation.

"Should You Return"
You see the night is all I have to make me feel,
And all I want is just a love to make it hurt.
Cause all I need is something fine to make me lose.
Now it's a funny way I find myself with you.
Because this song is all I have to make me feel,
And all it takes is just a love to make it hurt.
And every sound arranged in time can make me lose.
Now it's a funny way I find myself with you.
But now there's nothing left to do but waste my time.
I never knew where to move on.
I never knew what to rely upon.
And now there's nothing left to say to change your mind.
And if you're are unhappy still,
I will be hanging on your line should you return.
Should you return, should you return.
Because the night is all I have to make me feel,
And all I want is just a dream to make it worthwhile.
Cause all I need is someone close to make me lose.
Now it's a funny way I find myself with you.
But now there's nothing left to do but waste my time.
I never knew where to move on.
I never knew what to rely upon.
But now there's nothing left to say to change your mind.
And if you're unhappy still,
I will be hanging on your line.
But now there's nothing left to do to draw you eyes.
(But now there's nothing left to do)
I never knew where to move on.
I never knew what to rely upon.
But now there's nothing left to say to change your mind.
And if you're just sinking down,
I will pulling on your line.
But now there's nothing left to do but waste my time.
(But now there's nothing left to do)
I never knew where to move on.
I never knew what to rely upon.
But now there's nothing left to say to change your mind
And if you're unhappy still,
I will be hanging on your line should you return.
Should you return, should you return.
