Copperline - James Taylor

Performed by Taylor in HD with stunning sound quality.
Copperline was released on the 1991 album "New Moon Shine". During the late 1980s, he had began touring regularly, especially on the summer amphitheater circuit. His later concerts featured songs from throughout his career.
Taylor had thoughts of retiring by the time he played the massive Rock in Rio festival in Rio de Janeiro in January 1985. He was encouraged by the nascent democracy in Brazil at the time, buoyed by the positive reception he got from the large crowd and other musicians, and musically energized by the sounds and nature of Brazilian music. Lyrics follow:
Even the old folks never knew
Why they call it like they do
I was wondering since the age of two
Down on copperline
Copper head, copper beech
Copper kettles sitting side by each
Copper coil, cup o'georgia peach
Down on copperline
Half a mile down to morgan creek
Leaning heavy on the end of the week
Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
Down on copperline
We were down on copperline.
One summer night on the copperline
Slip away past supper time
Wood smoke and moonshine
Down on copperline
One time I saw my daddy dance
Watched him moving like a man in a trance
He brought it back from the war in france
Down onto copperline
Branch water and tomato wine
Creosote and turpentine
Sour mash and new moon shine
Down on copperline
Down on copperline.
First kiss ever I took
Like a page from a romance book
The sky opened and the earth shook
Down on copperline
Down on copperline
Took a fall from a windy height
I only knew how to hold on tight
And pray for love enough to last all night
Down on copperline
Day breaks and the boys wakes up
And the dog barks and the birds sings
And the sap rises and the angels sigh, yeah.
I tried to go back, as if I could
All spec house and plywood
Tore up and tore up good
Down on copperline
It doesn't come as a surprise to me
It doesn't touch my memory
Man I'm lifting up and rising free
Down on over copperline
Half a mile down to morgan creek
I'm only living for the end of the week
Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
Down on copperline, yeah
Take me down on copperline
Oh, down on copperline
Take me down on copperline.

I love how us fans are so devoted, it is as if he helped us forge our lives. Certainly I feel that my life was so influenced by Mr Taylor. My son (42) was sweet baby James, then known as badger by my family. We saw him EVERY time he came to England (or Wales). My three children grew up sleeping to his songs as their background staging or their bedtime lullabies. Even after their dad and I divorced amicably we still had JT in common and would get together with our children to see him in concert. His songs wove the tapestry of our lives, his joy was infectious and his calm enthusiasm was our life guide. He is part of our lives isn’t he? ❤️🙏😘

LOVE JAMES TAYLOR BEEN LISTENING SINCE THE VERY EARLY 70'S. HE JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER. HAS THE MOST CALMING EFFECT WHEN YOU LISTEN. USED HIS C D TO CALM MY FUSSY GRANDSON TO SLEEP A COUPLE OF SONGS AND HE'D GET ALL LAID -BACK AND JUST LISTEN TO THE MUSIC ESPECIALLY "YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND".

whether it's just him and his guitar, or with a full band, he delivers a beautifully crafted masterpiece l

JT: A national treasure. And this song. Damn, so good. It stirs the emotions. Reminds me of another songwriter when he wrote: "Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you."
