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.
Take my Breath away
Copeland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame.
Turning and returning to some secret place in time.
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say, "My love"
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Never hesitating to become the fated ones.
Turning and returning to some secret place to cry.
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say oh
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away.
When the mirror crashed I called and turned to hear you say..
If only for today, I am not afraid.
Take my breath away oh
Take my breath away
Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game.
Haunted by the notion somewhere there's a love in flames.
Turning and returning to some secret place inside.
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say oh
Take my breath away oh
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
In Copeland's song 'Take My Breath Away', the lyrics express a sense of urgency and desire for a love that is almost out of reach, yet so close at the same time. The opening verse captures the essence of someone who is infatuated with their lover and is willing to risk everything to be with them. The singer is so deeply engrossed in this lover's game that even though they are in endless waters, they believe that their love is boundless and without shame.
As the song progresses, the singer's longing for love becomes even more intense. The lyrics suggest that the singer is always waiting, anticipating the arrival of love, never hesitating to become the fated ones. The imagery of turning and returning to some secret place in time and watching in slow motion captivatingly captures the essence of love and how one slow, deliberate motion can alter the entirety of someone's existence.
The song reaches its climax in the third verse, where the singer admits that time has slipped away and that they are trying to hold onto their beloved. The chorus is a plea for the lover to take the singer's breath away, indicating that nothing else matters as long as they are together.
Overall, Copeland's 'Take My Breath Away' is a beautiful love song that captures the essence of how love can leave us breathless.
