Cooper Green and Gatlin Kate James are a brother and sister pop duo from Franklin, Tennesse, a quaint town outside of Nashville known for being the perfect combination of small town meets big city. Spend some time around these two and their fondness for each other is evident. It comes thourhg with a playful, needling energy you'd expect from an older brother-younger sister dynamic. Having grown up hanging around their dad's studio and touring with their mom, they both knew they wanted to do music from a young age.
The family moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and Coopr & Gatlin have spent the past several years honing their craft as songwriters and musicians and perfecting their sound, which draws on their various disparate influences ranging from The Kooks and Nickel Creek, to Kevin Garrett and Norah Jones. By forging their inspirations, the duo recently wrote a batch of new left-of-center pop songs that include their electronic-meets-acoustic debut single Break.
Lyrics:
All I want is to keep it simple But I can tell youre still unimpressed Tryna make the best of these pieces But all you see is my broken mess Oh, I'm feeling fragile can't you tell Got my hands up in my pockets Tryna keep it to myself Oh, I'm feeling fragile can't you see Closed my heart up like a locket Now it's getting hard to breathe Oh Fragile No tricks up my sleeve Fragile Just like fallen leaves Oh When I get stepped on I get lost in the breeze Fragile Im delicate so please dont break me Just fake a smile and keep moving forward Cause I know it wont help looking back Ive learned its safer to keep my distance So far away you cant see the cracks I fell down Shattered when I hit the ground And you were nowhere to be found Dont what to do know now All the glue In the whole universe wont do What I need it to doLyrics:
I thought youd be honest Raise me up real nice Keep me right on target Not just roll the dice Steady then unstable Both sides of the fence Never rocked the cradle Too late for your two cents You say looking at mes like looking in the mirror But I dont see it, see it, OH No lie, no lie I don't really even wanna look you in the eye The truth, the truth I don't ever wanna be anything like you Followed your footsteps, well look where it took me to Thats why, thats why I don't ever wanna be anything like you Dancing in the garden Left behind my roots Poison in the water Couldnt stop my groove Still you say looking at me slike looking in the mirror But I dont feel it, feel it, OH No lie, no lie I don't really even wanna look you in the eye The truth, the truth I don't ever wanna be anything like you Followed your footsteps, well look where it took me to Thats why, thats why I don't ever wanna be anything like you Like you, like you, like you I don't ever wanna be anything like you You didnt love me right You didnt love me right You dont get to love me right, get to love me right nowLyrics:
Corners Walls and floors And open doors are closing And all that you've been hoping for Diminished in a moment Parachutes ripped in two Headed for wreck and ruin What are you gonna do this time? Take my hand There's nothing left to hold on to Take my hand Break it if you have to Roots that grow, underneath it all, Steady when you're falling down Take my hand, darling, if you need to now Shadows, silhouettes, are over the horizon Monsters haunting in the dark behind you eyelids Paradise ripped in two Headed for wreck and ruin What are you gonna do this time? Oooh ohhhhh Paradise ripped in two Headed for wreck and ruin What are you gonna do this time?Lyrics:
You said, you said "I'm sorry, thought I loved you but I don't" I can't, I just can't argue I tried, I tried to work it out But some things they just won't You don't, don't have the heart to And every time I think about you I don't wanna think about you I know I'm better off without you Without you And Every time I think about you I hate it when I think about you I know I'm better off without you Without you All the memories we made On a loop inside my brain Away, go away Can't forget a single thing Every lie that I believed is a tear stain on my sleeve Away, go away I won't let you see me break I gave, I gave it all to you But you just let me go You dont see us together I'll take, take back the pieces To the parts of me I lost I'll make, make something better Keeps going round in my head Keeps going round in my head Can't forget Everything that we did Everything that we didLyrics:
I thought youd be honest Raise me up real nice Keep me right on target Not just roll the dice Steady then unstable Both sides of the fence Never rocked the cradle Too late for your two cents You say looking at mes like looking in the mirror But I dont see it, see it, OH No lie, no lie I don't really even wanna look you in the eye The truth, the truth I don't ever wanna be anything like you Followed your footsteps, well look where it took me to Thats why, thats why I don't ever wanna be anything like you Dancing in the garden Left behind my roots Poison in the water Couldnt stop my groove Still you say looking at me slike looking in the mirror But I dont feel it, feel it, OH No lie, no lie I don't really even wanna look you in the eye The truth, the truth I don't ever wanna be anything like you Followed your footsteps, well look where it took me to Thats why, thats why I don't ever wanna be anything like you Like you, like you, like you I don't ever wanna be anything like you You didnt love me right You didnt love me right You dont get to love me right, get to love me right nowLyrics:
