I DID NOT EXPECT HIS VOICE TO SOUND THIS BEAUTIFUL! Oh my gosh! I'm a year late but seriously Mahogany sessions, thank you for bringing another great artist into my life. Ugh! Those songs you hear for the first time and you just know it's going to be your favourite 😏😍❤ Love, from South Africa!

I never ever comment on these threads but this guy is VERY special. Rarely do i keep playing a song like I have this one. JP's beautiful tone is mesmerising and the songs melody and lyrics are simply sublime. Takes me back to Stevie Wonder and George Benson of the '70s...pure magic. I'm a big fan of this guy and if managed properly he has a huge future ahead...let's hope so. Respect to Mahagony true curators of quality music.

Lyrics

---

You colour me in gold
Lips like petals on my throat
And those fingertips like paintbrush strokes
Paper boats softly float like a song we wrote

But summer comes and summer goes
You change your hair, you change your clothes
The books you read help you explore
The world that you believed in once before

You colour me in gold
Kiss the freckles on my nose
With those blood red pomegranate lips taking sips, hand on hip
Your face could launch a thousand ships

But winter comes and brings the snow
You change your job, you change your home
Still reading books about the ghost of a world you can't be living any more

And after all, you've been nothing but good to me
And the only way that I can pay you back
Is to daily seek those distant memories while I'm standing next to you

So when spring time comes and blossoms grow
Come take my hand, can we expose the hideaways
The hidden doors, the stories we believed in
The land that we both dreamed in once before

[DixonJB]

Wow. Some old-time song-writing. And skillful singing. Refreshing.

[mizellemayo]

I can feel my heart exploding into a million pieces. His voice is magnificent, and his piercing blue eyes makes me melt. And I personally love his dreads as well. Oh jesus, his voice is heaven.

[Jonesy]

I first heard this guy sing "Only Reason" and I've loved his music ever since... I don't think people understand the level that JP is on. It's absolutely, undeniably ridiculous. He can do anything he wants to vocally, and it's such a pleasure to hear.

[quizillafreak]

I just have to say that piano player looks so cool, her clothes and the sunglasses and stuff. She just looks badass.

[freedommasters]

How did I ever live without the Mahogany Sessions?  I love music all over again thanks to this true musicians not yet spoiled by creed and vanity. They are the real deal..

[khmeralallakooverjee]

JP Cooper, you are something so special. I really pray that this world makes some great room for you, because you are one glorious explosion! Please never stop making music!

[luavery]

this is purely beautiful. painfully amazing. haunting. all understatements but I can't think of a better description

[ChillyCuca]

I'm very glad he is getting the recognition he deserves!

[TheWildBlackberry]

YouTube should add an heart button just for Mahogany sessions as Thumbs ups aren't enough for such an artistry as these musicians are providing us with. ♥

[mungai]

[dennisinkwa]

Soulful and sincere. It's tranquil here.

[omg_itsbri]

This makes me feel all the seasons all at once, It's warm and breezy like the summer, but cool and sunny like the spring. It's cold and cozy with the smell of leaves just as fall begins and it's just as cold and airy as winter. How does one do this? 😭😍💕👌🏼

[jasminenicholeart]

Don't even know how I got here but I'm blown away. Really did not expect that sound to come from your lips. Your music translated from your heart to my heart. That's all I could ever ask from music. If you ever come to nyc to do a show please post it so that I can come and be transformed by your art in person.
Thank you.

This version with the piano added is love to my soul! 😍😍😍
