i first heard Copeland my freshmen year at college during a time in my life that i am not proud of and a time filled with lots of pain and confusion. i remember listening to the words and getting lost in the melodic nature, it was there i could see my thoughts clearly because they were the lyrics filling my ears. since then, i have listened to every album dozens of times over.  their voices, melodies, and lyrics were, in a way, my refuge when life around me was uncertain. 

when that period of my life ended i stopped listening to them. it has been 4 years since i have heard this band. but i think i can appreciate the music more now because i have moved on in life and the lyrics no longer echo my inner thoughts and longings. i have endured that dark season and those words no longer apply to me.

i like to think of it as a monument of what i have overcome. that is why i love this band so much. every song and note has meant something to me when i was not sure of anything. 

however, they are no longer my refuge for my Jesus has overcome the world and i find my refuge in Him. 

enjoy. 

p.s. the following is a compilation of my favorites.
