Cooler - Eric Copeland
- It's
So Cool was largely inspired by the groove I wrote one day. It went
through many versions, but finally I came up with the Jeff Lorber-like feel
I was looking for. The singing-lead thing was something I did mainly because
I really didnt have lyrics there. It kinda fit the tune, and I never wrote
any.
- That's
All There Is was the last song to be written for the album. My church
music minister called me up and asked if I had a song talking about new Christians.
I said sure. So that night I wrote this and sang it the next day. Lyrics
- The
Good Life is
just a nice tune to have on. Basically written for the It's So Cool project,
it's message is that we should remember how good we have it. Count your blessings,
it's a good life.
- Cool
Maxin' was
a funky thing I came up with while playing the keyboard one day. I have no
idea what this song means, as all it makes me do is tap my foot.
- It's
Me Who Leaves is about anyone who comes to realize that they are the
ones who leave a relationship. With God, with lovers, we all walk away when
we can't handle it. Lyrics
- Chill
is my daughter's favorite song. Infectious beat, this little ditty swings.
- Separate
Ways is
an instrumental, but actually had words at one time that I wrote for a friend.
- So
Send I You was originally called Not of This World, but I could
never come up with any lyrics for that idea. So one day before I began the
final mixes for It's So Cool, I started singing these words and the tune flowed
out. Funny how God works, eh? Lyrics
- Of
Clear Mind was written for an on-line project that never happened.
But it's synth lead soars and hopefully leaves you with a good feeling as
the album comes to a close.
