Tunesday: Happy 4th Edition - Imani Coppola
Posted by Jeremy on July 1st, 2008
Today’s Tunesday is of someone I hit upon recently - Imani Coppola. Ah, yes, it was found via some random file share, and apparently it was featured on the Grey’s Anatomy soundtrack. And I happened to fall in love with it! The song is “Raindrops from the Sun (Hey Hey Hey)” off of her “The Black & White Album”. It’s only vaguely topical of the 4th of July due to the first line - but hey, it’s that or nothin. So have a listen, read up about her, check out the lyrics, and have a great week! I’ll probably have more of an editorial next Tunesday. Or not.
Buy Imani Coppola - The Black & White Album from Amazon.
Imani Coppola - Raindrops from the Sun (Hey Hey Hey)
Yesterday was kind of like the fourth of July
The way your face lit up the entire sky
I had to look away because it hurt my eyes
The way you hit me was a big surprise
Yesterday I really didn’t know what to say
I wasn’t making any sense but it felt ok
I asked you if it was my birthday
This kind of thing don’t happen everyday
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Didn’t think an angel would get in my way
Yesterday I felt just like a child
A little curious a little wild
Live in the moment and never go out of style
You know it’s really been a while
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
I didn’t think an angel would get in my way
Excuse me wont you step aside
I ain’t got no room for you in my life
I don’t got the patience to love again
I don’t got the guts to keep you as a friend
Be an angel and fly away
I hope you reach some heavenly place
If you come back when you’re all done
Bring me some raindrops from the sun
Today I feel like i’m doing time
Didn’t know it could be just like a crime
Been a while since I let you go
But time don’t let regrets go
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
I didn’t think an angel would get in my way
So I gotta welcome angels
