If Only (live)

from Amsterdam Moon (live) by The Coo

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Our full debut EP Amsterdam Moon, recorded live in Amsterdam in April of 2019, with one unreleased bonus track - only 300 copies available!
    ______________________________________________________________
    The story of our debut EP has reached its finale - the recordings have been pressed on vinyl and we will be releasing a limited edition run of 300 copies only.

    This is a really special moment for us - the first time we’ll be holding a physical twelve inch of our own work in the medium we have always listened to our favourite sixties and seventies artists - and now it sings with our own voices!

    We hope you enjoy interacting with the sleeve artwork, holding the disc in your hands and then listening to the unique hushed and warm sound that it creates. In these sad days of distancing, we hope our vinyl EP will feel even more like you are in the room with us when you listen to it.

    Purchasers of the vinyl will also be able to hear a previously unreleased track from the evening of the recording - ‘About Time’ that is not available to streaming services, a free MP3 download code and some personal extras as well.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Amsterdam Moon (live) via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    In addition to owning one of these unique musical pieces, people who buy the vinyl will be able to hear a previously unreleased track from the evening of the recording - ‘About Time’ and they will also receive a free MP3 download code as well.

lyrics

IF ONLY

Might step away from this old world
and drown myself in solitude
Spend days and weeks without a word
and find my breath in interludes
If only I could sing to save my soul
If only I could sing to save my soul

Might try to list the ones I’ve hurt
and send them letters of regret
And I will kneel down in the dirt
and I will ask them to forget
If only I could sing to save my soul
If only I could sing to save my soul

Don’t know who the hell I’m supposed to be
singing to
should I sing to you?
I don’t have the words yet, nor the tune
But I swear
when I do...

Might try and wash my sins away
I’ll scrub my skin down to my bone
and still I’ll lead my loves astray
and still I’ll end up all alone
If only I could sing to save my soul
If only I could sing to save my soul

Don’t know who the hell I’m supposed to be
singing to
should I sing to you?
I don’t have the words yet, nor the tune
But I swear
when I do…

If only I could sing to save my soul
If only I could sing to save my soul
If only I could sing

The Coo London, UK

The Coo’s journey started with a serendipitous meeting at an Amsterdam open mic, and has since evolved into a deep musical and personal relationship that bridges the North Sea. Matt Arthur (The Arthur Brothers) and Jara Holdert (Lewin) write and sing songs together in two-part harmony, reminiscent of the warm late 60s and early 70s. ... more
