Introducing Cooper Marody

In 2018, I started a 'New Find' series on this blog to share musicians I find on YouTube and social media and today, I am adding Cooper Marody to the list. 

Before I talk about Cooper's music, here are a few facts for us to get to know him.

  • Cooper Marody was born on December 20 1996, which makes him 25-years-old this year. 
  • He is from Brighton, Michigan.
  • Attended St Patrick School in Brighton and St Mary's Prep in Orchard Lake Village.
  • Cooper is a professional ice hockey player. 
  • Currently plays for the Bakersfield Condors in the American Hockey League, while under contract to the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League. 
  • Won a few awards in college and the American Hockey League. 
Cooper released his first song in 2019. It is called 'Behind Me'. The lyrics are painfully beautiful. It is about a couple who have broken up and the guy is blaming himself for being let down by a girl he was in love with and he is trying to put the pain behind him and move on with his life. 

His next song, 'I Don't Deserve Her Yet' was released that same year. It sounds like he is waiting for the right girl to come along and he is saying he has to work on himself before he feels like he deserves the girl he likes. I could be completely wrong but that is what it sounds like to me. 

'Agape' was written and recorded by Cooper as a tribute to his former teammate Colby Cave, who sadly passed away in 2020 at the age of 25. In an Instagram post, Cooper said that Colby's wife, Emily, had asked him to write a song that embodied the love they had for each other, which he did with the help of two of his friends, Kyle Thomas and Gavin Garris. They did a wonderful job. The lyrics of the song and the images of Colby and Emily's wedding day in the music video make you smile and bring tears to your eyes at the same time. 

Cooper Marody is not just a hockey player. He has talents off the ice too and music is clearly one of them. He could have a career as a music artist if he wanted to. No Matter what, it is great to see Cooper succeeding and achieving so much in his life!

Congratulations Cooper!

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
