1) Templeton are a pop band from Torrelavega, Spain, formed in 2002. They released their first album in 2008 called "Exposición Universal". Band members are Javier Carrasco, Jimmy Ginzo , Santi Castillo, Brian Hunt (Half Foot Outside, Kidsgofree and ex hombre orquesta de Russian Red), Gonzalo Mamano and Álvaro Martínez.
2) Templeton was a pop-punk band from Marlton, New Jersey, originally named Ten Second Rule they started in 2001 then became Templeton in September 2002 playing their first show at Marlton's Scooters. They released the "Millside Four EP" in Fall of 2002 and their only full-length "Accidents and Apoligies" in 2003.

3) Templeton was a progressive rock band from Spain. They self-recorded an EP called "Orange is the Change" in 2001. Band members were H. García, A. García (brothers), Alfonso Valdivía and Pablo. You can find reminiscences from bands like Radiohead and Pink Floyd in their songs.
4)
Templeton is currently based at the very tip of Africa but enjoys roaming the planet for isnpiration. This solo singer songwriter has been performing/recording since the early 90’s and has slowly built up a listener base of like minded people. The best way to describe this artist would be to take the following ingredients: Take the carefully constructed sounds of Zero7 add the intensity of Radiohead, mix this with the mourful twang of Rufus Wainwright and the innocence of Eliott Smith and you have something that sounds like Templeton.
5)
The original band called Templeton (and I know that this is not contestable) is from Columbus, Ohio and was formed in 1998 by Christian Hurd who sometimes uses the pseudonym Errant Kohl and is also the frontman for a Portland, Oregon band named Lookbook.

Templeton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En mi zona de seguridad
Pude investigar
Decidí quedarme en el sofá.
Y ahora pienso que
Debo mostrar algo de interés
En recuperar
He intentado mantenerte
Pero como casi siempre te perdí
Intente caer en gracia
Pero al final todos se rieron de mí
Soy un Cowboy solitario
Soy un cowboy que está lejos de su hogar
Nunca quise perder algo
Simplemente quise hacerte radiar
Soy un viejo dinosaurio
Soy un sucio veterano de Vietnam
Un barco que ya ha zarpado
Soy King Crimson, Elton John y Supertramp
Sé que puedo ser todo lo que he sido
Y mucho más
Pero para que
Si nunca te quise de verdad
He intentado mantenerte
Pero como casi siempre te perdí
Intente caer en gracia
Pero al final todos se rieron de mí
Soy un Cowboy solitario
Soy un cowboy que está lejos de su hogar
Nunca quise perder algo
Simplemente quise hacerte radiar
Soy un viejo dinosaurio
Soy un sucio veterano de Vietnam
Un barco que ya ha zarpado
Soy King Crimson, Elton John y Supertramp
The lyrics to Templeton's song Cowboy describe a sense of regret and loss, as the singer laments his decision to remain within his zone of safety and not take risks. The first verse highlights the singer's sense of complacency, as he acknowledges that he could have investigated further but instead chose to stay on the couch. The second verse shifts to a sense of responsibility, with the singer recognizing the need to show more interest in regaining what he has lost. The chorus emphasizes the singer's loneliness and distance from his home, as well as his desire to make someone radiate with happiness.
The third verse introduces themes of aging and nostalgia, as the singer describes himself as a "viejo dinosaurio" (old dinosaur) and a "sucio veterano de Vietnam" (dirty Vietnam veteran), as well as referencing classic bands such as King Crimson, Elton John, and Supertramp. The final chorus repeats the themes of loneliness and desire to make someone happy, but also acknowledges that the singer's intentions may not have been sincere.
Overall, the lyrics to Cowboy convey a sense of regret over missed opportunities and a desire to make things right, but also a recognition that the past cannot be changed.
