used a VPN to hear the new version. Coffee was also one of my least favorites of theirs, but this new version sounds fantastic. lots of lush strings.
Really excited to hear how this turns out. Would love new music and a tour but any Copeland news is good news. Unrelated but does anybody remember when they did that show with a full orchestra? I've seen a few videos online but was there ever a plan to release that as a full concert video or vinyl? I would love to have that but don't remember hearing anything
People don’t like the original Coffee in this thread? It’s one of their best from their early stuff WTF. i’m skeptical about the new one. Hopefully it doesn’t try to do “too much” which I have a feeling it will.
yeah Coffee is one of my favorite Copeland songs and one of the only few I still can genuinely vibe with from BMT
I’ve never been a fan of Coffee personally haha I prefer a lot of other songs on BMT but it’s been a while since I’ve spun that album
coffee isnt one of my favorites off bmt or anything but it's still a lovely song and i'm quite intrigued to hear what they do with it
Assuming Paula Sparks won’t be included. Pretty sure he’s all but disavowed that song because of the real Paula Sparks. Maybe a new California though? Would love to hear a reimagined heavier song. A reimagined Fast Song or Can’t Slow Down would be cool
Oops. I meant “Don’t Slow Down.” Sorry, all the posts on the Bowling For Soup thread right now got me all sorts of confused.
Oh damn, I love it. This could have very easily been half assed; but this is great. Can’t wait to see what else will be included.
It's very well done and sounds lovely but I'm so attached to the original I doubt I'll listen to this more than once or twice.
This is exactly where I’m at with it. It’s what I expected too, that it’s kind of doing “too much” and the words and melody are beautiful enough that adding more lush just makes this feel airy. I don’t think I ever needed them to recreate this already-perfect song, but I guess I’ll take it if it means more Copeland.
Yeah I'm just happy they're still doing stuff but also kinda sad because I feel like this means it'll probably be a while before we get actual new music from them.
with all the glaswing we got last year i kinda figured itd be unreasonable expecting new tunes so soon ngl. i rlly hope these woodwind type arrangements show up in whatever they do next tho i loove the textures of this version
