I just discovered this song. What a song. It is simple and repetitive, perhaps like a long marriage can become, but it is also beautiful and meaningful. My husband and I have been married for 25 years and we are still very much in love. There is so much beauty in the "ordinary".
i think it is a happy song. When you finally settled with someone, each and everyday is ordinary because you and her/him will see each other the same way as yesterday. You are kissing the same way as yesterday. And hoping that tomorrow will still be an ordinary day for both of you. A day where you and her/him will still be together like today. Just an ordinary day, forever. With her / him in it.
2 years late and youre right - it is a happy song. but it can be sad when you hear it like i did for the first time a few weeks after being left by someone i thought i'd be with forever, for reasons that were my own fault, and realized that that "ordinary" feeling i couldnt explain until i heard this song was gone and even 5 years later it stil gets me
When this single came out I immediately fell in love with it. At the time my wife and I had been married 7 months, but we had been together for 8 years prior. This song meant so much to me, but it really changed when my son was born. I sang this song to him so many nights putting him to bed as an infant. It's amazing how much a perspective can change but this song still rings true. Absolutely my favorite Copeland song.
Today was fine, I woke up late like I always do, Made work just in the nick of time, And thought of you. And when I returned, I found you just like I always do, Waiting for me like you always are, Since you came along, my days are ordinary. We laugh just like yesterday, And I kiss you like the day before, And I hold you just like ordinary. Perhaps when the day is new, We'll find tomorrow is just ordinary too. Tomorrow came, My shadow it was growing long, I came to home to find you singing songs, Just the same. And today it seems You're smiling like you always are, Everyday its the same old thing, Since you came along, my days are ordinary. We laugh just like yesterday, And I kiss you like the day before, And I hold you just like ordinary. Perhaps when the day is new, We'll find tomorrow is just ordinary too.
Thank you guys for inspiring millions of people around the globe with your music. And thank you for reuniting not just for the love of music but for your fans, followers and believers. Copeland forever!
I think the instrumentals from 1:38-2:03 are the sounds of being in love. It's such an overwhelming sense of feeling I get when I hear that part, every time.
This song just makes me so happy! I still cant believe Copeland is getting back together! After a 6 year absence we're finally gonna get some amazing new music! Ever since i heard about them just before they broke up, they've been one of my favorite bands so i'm SO happy to see them return!!!
I first heard of them in 2007 but never really listened to them much until late 2008 at which point I discovered You Are My Sunshine. Only in 2010 did I realize they broke up. I was actually sad because I really wanted to badly hear them in concert. I'll not miss them this time around.
LegendSeekerX my wife and I have seen them 3 times, one of which was a complete acoustic show. They're amazing live. Definitely one of the few bands that sounds just like, if not better than, the actual record.
To me, this is one of the best love songs ever. It captures a longing for calm and rest, and a contentment that isn’t often expressed, and to me, that’s really beautiful.
Having lived through a lot of bullshit...and now striving for that "ordinary"...this song is perfect. And what a beautiful way to say the day is ending, "My shadow it was growing long"...Aaron is a genius. Was 20 years ago, is today.
I recently discovered the most beautiful music through my 15 year old daughter Isabella. Isabella has autism and happens to listen to music all the time. She was listening to the song Disjointed from Copeland and I had to stop what I was doing to go listen to the song. The best music I've heard in a long time. Beautiful lyrics and melody. I can't wait to get all their albums now. Please keep making beautiful music. Your fans from PR!!
And the best thing is that after so long we could expect them to do something totally different but they kept the Copeland style, this song is so their style I'm so glad they didn't change
I have been along for the ride with copeland since beneath the medicine tree came out...it was just a random chance that i happened to stumble on the song coffee not long after the album came out...they have changed my life ...musically and lyrically the best band out there by far...this IS REAL MUSIC...it's such a shame that such talented people that make amazing music get hardly any recognition, while Justin beiber and all this other garbage on the radio is raking in millions, copeland struggles to even release an album and are forced to break up...what has this world become? I know there's someone out there that agrees with me.
Dave I agree wholeheartedly. I found Copeland with "Eat, Sleep, Repeat" and the same thing that happened to you happened to me. I have a short list of bands that make my world better and Copeland is one of them. One of the best kept secrets in music. I am happy we have this amazing band to make us feel like there is some one out there that really "Gets" us.
They can just sing a song. and you know where they are speaking of. Such description, powerful Imagery. There were just meant to be a "life band". Thank you for coming back, Copeland. (Mwah)
welcome back. this is seriously a great comeback though. the first single, and it reminds me the day where I can't keep stop singing Coffee. it's been years. those haunting piano, poem that turns to lyric, and the same old Aaron Marsh's voice. Man, this is perfect.
My boyfriend of 6 years always hears this song while working. .He sang me this song and when he was done Cried from his emotions. .I Fall asleep to this song almost every night. One night I decided to sing it to him while he was sleeping. .he woke up and kissed me and I cried. Sounds cheesy and lame but it's true. Trust me we fight all the time but you can't control who you love.
When this song was released, I couldn’t believe how direct it was…. is… I lost the love of my live this year. And I haven’t recovered. This song hurts. This song means everything to me.
This is great. I was so young when I first started listening to Copeland. Now it's been years. I'm so much older, and the direction Copeland seems to be taking with their new releases are suiting my preference in music now, as their past songs did when I was younger.
My girlfriend and I were dating long distance when this song was newish. 3500 miles apart, only see each other a few times a year. I remember hearing this and thinking I can’t wait for our relationship to be ordinary, where we see each other everyday. We dated for 4 years long distance. Then we got married. After another 6 years, we are happier than ever, have a baby, and everything is ordinary.
I still remember how hurt to see my favorite band disbanded. And later, somehow they decided to drop this song. The first time I heard Ordinary, I cried. Thank you for making this masterpiece!
Copeland songs is always on my playlists on every gadget i have, it encouraging me all the time, i gave copeland's album to my high school sweet heart back in 2003, and in 2012 i married her. and that's how i feel about copeland "PRICELESS"
For me it feels like a song about someone who you love to much to tell them that you don't love them anymore. The spark is gone but being comfortable is easier than being honest.
So I preordered this about a month ago, and I'm still just as excited as I was the day I heard the greatest news I've... well, had in such a long time!!!! AHHH!!!!
Wow. The level of complexity in such a simple tune amazes me. The key change and sound effects all have a purpose. The amount of thought and time this piece took... I definitely cried when I heard this.
i don't know, its like, an utopia. Every lyrics and how it melodies represents., at least to me. I didnt say i dont love this song. Its mads e me feels like everyday is but a dream. It just felt like its a very emotional song and this song is always get to me in its ordinary. I cant explain it better than every word on this song is an utopian land, for me. thw 'you' in this song is may different from what you think if i play by the song. I dont want to make people gets and agree to my opinion. Let this song be heard and interpreted in thousands and millions way.
i talked bout them to my cousin, visited aaron's twitter just for curiosity and knew, at the same day, that they were coming back. think how great discover! SERENDIPITY!!! :)
Been listenin to them since beneath medicine tree- love this song- can't wait for new album. Bringing that loving feeling back. Kudos copeland, love you guys.
This is/was the greatest band on Earth, in our lifetimes'. Try to listen to Copeland without immediately letting go of all things petty and wasteful, in what you just realized is a life to be lived recklessly in all forms of good.
Se um dia você estiver ouvindo essa música: obrigada por ter me apresentado ela. Tantas vezes eu escutei com saudade de você.. de ouvir com você como fazíamos, olhando um para o outro, dizendo o quanto nos amávamos mesmo sem dizer uma palavra. Essa música descreve a gente... "And thought of you And when I returned I found you just like I always do" Sempre vou esperar por você nos meus sonhos.. like I always do.. "We laugh just like yesterday And I kiss you like the day before" Espero que seus dias um dia se tornem simples, sem a escuridão que costumava te acompanhar... Eu queria ter ficado pra te acompanhar nessa jornada... Amo você. Like I always do. 🥺❤️ E nos meus sonhos vou pedir para que sempre você me de aquele beijinho inesperado que eu amava tanto ganhar...like I always do.. "I came to home to find you singing songs" E eu vou estar te esperando, pra cantar uma música pra você como eu fazia... Ou tentar cantar... "You're smiling like you always are" e essa vai ser sempre a imagem que vou guardar de você nos meus sonhos.. e no meu coração.
I just discovered this song. What a song. It is simple and repetitive, perhaps like a long marriage can become, but it is also beautiful and meaningful. My husband and I have been married for 25 years and we are still very much in love. There is so much beauty in the "ordinary".
Dear Copeland, thank you for having been there during all of my teen years, and now, during my adulthood.
lalakuma9 couldn't agree more
Amen to this! 🙌🏼
same and owe copeland my life
Same 🫠🥲
i think it is a happy song. When you finally settled with someone, each and everyday is ordinary because you and her/him will see each other the same way as yesterday. You are kissing the same way as yesterday. And hoping that tomorrow will still be an ordinary day for both of you. A day where you and her/him will still be together like today. Just an ordinary day, forever. With her / him in it.
that is lovely
Love this description. Puts such a pleasant twist to the song
+Pau Rodriguez thankss
Didn't really like this song at first. This perspective made me appreciate it more (even if I don't really care for it still).
2 years late and youre right - it is a happy song. but it can be sad when you hear it like i did for the first time a few weeks after being left by someone i thought i'd be with forever, for reasons that were my own fault, and realized that that "ordinary" feeling i couldnt explain until i heard this song was gone

Since you came along, my days are ordinary.
We laugh just like yesterday,
And I kiss you like the day before,
And I hold you just like ordinary.
Perhaps when the day is new,
We'll find tomorrow is just ordinary too.
Tomorrow came,
My shadow it was growing long,
I came to home to find you singing songs,
Just the same.
And today it seems
You're smiling like you always are,
Everyday its the same old thing,
Since you came along, my days are ordinary.
We laugh just like yesterday,
And I kiss you like the day before,
And I hold you just like ordinary.
Perhaps when the day is new,
We'll find tomorrow is just ordinary too.
Thank you guys for inspiring millions of people around the globe with your music. And thank you for reuniting not just for the love of music but for your fans, followers and believers. Copeland forever!
it feels like seeing an old friend
I think the instrumentals from 1:38-2:03 are the sounds of being in love. It's such an overwhelming sense of feeling I get when I hear that part, every time.

I'm in the same boat. Discovered them a year after you are my sunshine and always wanted more.
I first heard of them in 2007 but never really listened to them much until late 2008 at which point I discovered You Are My Sunshine. Only in 2010 did I realize they broke up. I was actually sad because I really wanted to badly hear them in concert. I'll not miss them this time around.

This is a beautiful way to discover Copeland.
*cries of joy internally*
I don't really know if this is a love song or a sad song, i just love it
This song is so ordinary. That is, ordinarily beautifully mesmerizing.
And the best thing is that after so long we could expect them to do something totally different but they kept the Copeland style, this song is so their style I'm so glad they didn't change
I have been along for the ride with copeland since beneath the medicine tree came out...it was just a random chance that i happened to stumble on the song coffee not long after the album came out...they have changed my life ...musically and lyrically the best band out there by far...this IS REAL MUSIC...it's such a shame that such talented people that make amazing music get hardly any recognition, while Justin beiber and all this other garbage on the radio is raking in millions, copeland struggles to even release an album and are forced to break up...what has this world become?

I agree with you mate!
im glad...at least there are some people that still know what real music is.
Dave I agree wholeheartedly. I found Copeland with "Eat, Sleep, Repeat" and the same thing that happened to you happened to me. I have a short list of bands that make my world better and Copeland is one of them. One of the best kept secrets in music. I am happy we have this amazing band to make us feel like there is some one out there that really "Gets" us.
Dave Martin I agree. And I love "Coffee"
I am crying inside.
Thank you for coming back, Copeland.
Thank you.
I can't not cry when listening to this.
They're back, a miracle in itself.
Hold back the tears. Never mind, they all came out. Beautiful song, Wonderfulness everywhere.
This will be my wedding song...
This was my wedding song. 8 years ago last month. Every time I hear it I think of her.
This brings tears to my eyes
This makes me soooo happy. I never thought they'd make music ever again.
They can just sing a song. and you know where they are speaking of. Such description, powerful Imagery. There were just meant to be a "life band". Thank you for coming back, Copeland. (Mwah)
that's it! i dont have a better expression to describe copeland that " A life band" such deep, powerful and meaningful songs... yeah you're right
"today was fine"
Its ok to be Ordinary... Its good.
Você aqui ? Whyshsushs
Plus those of us who are less ordinary sort of wish we were more ordinary much of the time too lol.
These comments are exactly how my heart feels.
I love Copeland and their deceptively calm sound. :)
love this. love the note he ends the verse phrases on. can't express my happiness that this band is making more music
This is such a sad beautiful song that you can see your life in it.
welcome back.
this is seriously a great comeback though. the first single, and it reminds me the day where I can't keep stop singing Coffee. it's been years. those haunting piano, poem that turns to lyric, and the same old Aaron Marsh's voice. Man, this is perfect.

Trust me we fight all the time but you can't control who you love.
Can't stop listening. So beautiful.
This song is beyond expectation.
I feel like I've waited forever for a new Copeland record... and it's finally coming.
Thank you, guys! - @theasablack
6 long years, but they're finally back!
When this song was released, I couldn’t believe how direct it was…. is… I lost the love of my live this year. And I haven’t recovered. This song hurts. This song means everything to me.
Most days I find myself wanting to listen to sad and somber music. It's nice, to have a song that makes me want to cry in a good way for once.
This is great. I was so young when I first started listening to Copeland. Now it's been years. I'm so much older, and the direction Copeland seems to be taking with their new releases are suiting my preference in music now, as their past songs did when I was younger.
I'm so happy to hear Copeland again, your music is not ordinary at all.
This is up there as one of my favorite copeland songs ever. Just perfect. Makes you want to find ordinary.
My girlfriend and I were dating long distance when this song was newish. 3500 miles apart, only see each other a few times a year. I remember hearing this and thinking I can’t wait for our relationship to be ordinary, where we see each other everyday. We dated for 4 years long distance. Then we got married.

Best song ever
Can it be october already. I honestly can't get enough.
In a slight state of disbelief. Thank God for their return
Copeland songs is always on my playlists on every gadget i have, it encouraging me all the time, i gave copeland's album to my high school sweet heart back in 2003, and in 2012 i married her. and that's how i feel about copeland "PRICELESS"

Amo esta canción , tan simple , tan linda ,tan significativa , tan perfecta ♥
The nostalgia ♥️
i hope the whole album is simple like this... w/ just the right touch of production, etc. etc.
Wow ! This is great news. What a great surprise ! I immediately pre-ordered the album. The Voice is back !
When it hurts so good you listen to it three times in a row
"tomorrow came.." just beautiful
This was our first dance as husband and wife! Forever will Copeland be a part if our story!
#redracertoo
So I preordered this about a month ago, and I'm still just as excited as I was the day I heard the greatest news I've... well, had in such a long time!!!!
AHHH!!!!

Copeland is forever in my heart
Wow. The level of complexity in such a simple tune amazes me. The key change and sound effects all have a purpose. The amount of thought and time this piece took... I definitely cried when I heard this.
It didn’t change key though 🔍
@@d.a.530 Yes it does, the introduction is in F major but then changes to F minor when the first verse comes in.
i don't know, its like, an utopia. Every lyrics and how it melodies represents., at least to me. I didnt say i dont love this song. Its mads e me feels like everyday is but a dream.

Okay, fair enough. Hope your wedding and marriage in the future goes well for you :]
love this song but still on the safest ledge is my fav
Essa música é tão linda...
This is it !!!!
Aaron explaining how this song is about someone with Schizophrenia just wanting to have an ordinary day changes the day i perceive this song...
i love this
This is/was the greatest band on Earth, in our lifetimes'. Try to listen to Copeland without immediately letting go of all things petty and wasteful, in what you just realized is a life to be lived recklessly in all forms of good.

"And thought of you
And when I returned
I found you just like I always do" Sempre vou esperar por você nos meus sonhos.. like I always do..
"We laugh just like yesterday
And I kiss you like the day before"
Espero que seus dias um dia se tornem simples, sem a escuridão que costumava te acompanhar...
Eu queria ter ficado pra te acompanhar nessa jornada...
Amo você. Like I always do. 🥺❤️
E nos meus sonhos vou pedir para que sempre você me de aquele beijinho inesperado que eu amava tanto ganhar...like I always do..
"I came to home to find you singing songs"
E eu vou estar te esperando, pra cantar uma música pra você como eu fazia... Ou tentar cantar...
"You're smiling like you always are"
e essa vai ser sempre a imagem que vou guardar de você nos meus sonhos.. e no meu coração.
Caramba... mesmo 9 anos depois de tudo... me identifiquei tanto com o que você escreveu...
This song reminds me of the movie LIVE DIE REPEAT.
