Copeland - Blushing (February 14, 2019) Album • Page 55

When You Thought You'd Never Stand Out
Brightest
In Her Arms You Will Never Starve
Should You Return
I Can Make You Feel Young Again

I guess would be my top five. Maybe. This band doesn't make it easy in the slightest to choose.

 

I decided to try and pick a favorite song from each album. Got harder with each album.

I’m sorry to the people this will annoy.

Brightest
Choose the One Who Loves You More
When You Thought You’d Never Stand Out
On the Safest Ledge
I Can Make You Feel Young Again
Colorless

 

Coffee
Sleep
Love Affair
Good Morning Fire Eater
Erase


Way too early to tell with Blushing tbh

 

California
Choose the One Who Loves You More
The Last Time He Saw Dorie
Good Morning Fire Eater
Erase
Night Figures

 

yep now I'm listening to In Motion this morning

 

California
Don't Slow Down
Love Affair
The Grey Man
Erase
Night Figures

 

I just listened to these all in a row, and wow.

Not only is it amazing to me that they’ve stayed consistent and gotten better over the years, but also that music that was released in the early/mid 2000s in that scene holds up so well.

 

There Cannot Be A Close Second
Kite
I'm A Sucker For A Kind Word
Good Morning Fire Eater
Ordinary
Suddenly

 

One of my top three songs from Copeland. I love this song so much. The lyrics are beautiful and it's so different than anything else they've done.

 

there cannot be a close second
love is a fast song
love affair
should you return
erase

 

damn "Choose The One Who Loves You More" is a jam

it's been too long since I've listened to this

 

Ordinary
Chiromancer
Should You Return (The first Copeland song I ever heard)
California
Love Is a Fast Song
Chin Up

I didn't realize I put six till now...... and idk which one to cut

 

If I ever write a successful sitcom I'm using There Cannot Be A Close Second as the title theme

 

California
No One Really Wins
ESR
Chin Up
ICMYFYA

This is also top 5

 

There Cannot Be a Close Second
Choose the One Who Loves You More

Strange Flower (for now, still early to tell)

 

Take Care
Choose the One Who Loves you More
Eat, Sleep, Repeat
Chin up
Ordinary
As Above, So Alone

 

Top 5 is too hard when YAMS exists and now the new album... I also think I am an odd one out here because I didn't enjoy Ixora too much but I really like the new album. I don't understand the love for Erase but I think I just don't like the production style of Ixora and the use of falsetto (especially that song in particular) was rough and biting compared to all other Copeland albums.

Yeah can't do a top 5 between YAMS and Blushing. I tried but it was too hard. I give up.

 

Not that anyone cares or that it's relevant to most people reading this, but the Chicago show is the night before I am driving down to St. Louis with my friends to see the League of Legends Spring Finals. Normally I would give up one for the other, but in this instance I feel it would be a crime against my soul to miss this show. The last time I saw Copeland was shortly before they broke up for the first time, when none of us knew they'd reunite.

I bought tickets last night, and I will be attending this amazing show at the Bottom Lounge, even if I have to do a 6 hour drive the next morning. It's going to be a weekend full of things that matter to me!

 

I have a long drive today, and purposefully made sure I got on the road in time to have a full hour of darkness to listen to this with a cup of coffee.

I’m so glad I followed through with this plan.

This album is perfect.

EDIT: I should mention there’s been a light, steady drizzle of rain all morning.

 

So the first Copeland song I ever heard was Sleep and I thought he was singing, “Will I wake to find you eating by my bedside? Will I wake to find you eating by my side?”

I actually thought it was a gorgeously mundane picture of a close relationship where they were just always together. Hahaha.

 

Episode of stereo confidential on blushing is up, featuring @Jason Tate . Hopefully this is better than the others haha

 

Still working my way through the discog, 4-5 listens per album before moving on.

How is EVERY single song good? I'm finally pretty familiar with In Motion, an album I initially didn't like nearly as much as BMT - now I'm enjoying it just as much.

Can't wait to get into ESR, gonna give In Motion a couple more spins though.

 

I'm making my way through the Copeland discog because of this album and I am very thankful.

 

Everything holds up so well. It's so rare.
