Manchester native, JP Cooper, makes a stop in NYC. Here's a new track that will be featured on his upcoming debut album. I've followed him for some time and this was my first time seeing him. The first of, I hope, many more!
His voice is beautiful and pure. He's not even straining his voice and it's incredible. This is heaven to my ears. You also need to give credit to the pianist.
PAROLES I can't smell the roses, no I haven't for sometime I guess I'm striking poses every time I step outside I keep on running, tryin to beat it with a bottle? I thought there was plenty but now their all empty I pulled back those curtains and I let the sun in again It's like I saw a woman for the first time and she welcomes me like a friend And when it's been so long hurting you you forget to believe in grace So many decisions come with a burden- got me crying out loud for CHANGE! Broken bathroom mirror, ive not used it for a while Been avoiding my reflection, that's a symptom of denial I recognise myself today Little steps, little steps we take I threw away the empties boy their were plenty! I pulled back those curtains and I let the sun in again It's like I saw a woman for the first time and she welcomes me like a friend When it's been so long hurting you forget to believe in grace So many decisions come with a burden get me crying out loud for change I don't know how this goes and I don't know how it ends All I know is that I'm changing I won't go back again I don't know where this goes I don't know where this road is taking me and I don't know if I'll ever find my peace I know something's changing me and its happened when I pulled back those curtains and I let the sun in again It's like I saw a woman for the first time and she welcomes me like a friend When it's been so long hurting you forget to believe in grace So many decisions come with a burden get me crying out loud for change
"Change" I can't smell the rosesNo, I haven't for some timeAnd I guess I'm striking posesEvery time I step outsideI keep on runningTry to beat it with a bottleI thought four was plenty but now they're all empty I pulled back those curtainsAnd I let the sun in againIt's like I saw morning for the first timeAnd she welcomes me like a friendAnd when you spend so long hurtingYou can forget to believe in graceToo many conversations with the burdenGot me crying out loud for change Broken bathroom mirrorI've not used it for a whileBeen avoiding my reflectionThat's a symptom of denialI recognized myself todayLittle steps, little steps we takeThrew away the empties, boy, there were plenty I pulled back those curtainsAnd I let the sun in againIt's like I saw morning for the first timeAnd she welcomes me like a friendAnd when you spend so long hurtingYou can forget to believe in graceToo many conversations with the burdenGot me crying out loud for change I don't know where this goesAnd I don't know how it endsAll I know is that I'm changingAnd I won't look back again I don't know where this goes (I don't where this road is taking me)And I don't know how it ends (and I don't know if I'll ever find my peace)All I know is that I'm changing (I know something's changed in me)And I won’t look back again (and it happened when) I pulled back those curtainsAnd I let the sun in againIt's like I saw morning for the first timeAnd she welcomes me like a friendAnd when you spend so long hurtingYou can forget to believe in graceToo many conversations with the burdenGot me crying out loud for change I pulled back those curtainsAnd I let the sun in againIt's like I saw morning for the first timeAnd she welcomes me like a friendAnd when you spend so long hurtingYou can forget to believe in graceToo many conversations with the burdenGot me crying out loud for change
