2nd single off our upcoming album!

Rosie’ - Lyrics:

So, you’ve heard of love, that ain’t got no bounds
Well my girl, she ain’t got no grounds to leave me now
And I think I like it.

And I’ve sown, some thoughtless seeds
I’ve taken leave, of what I truly believe
What a fool I’ve been, but she still lets me in
I think I like it.

So c’mon babe, won’t you say we’ll paint the town?
I’m feeling pretty rosie, I promise I won’t let you down
I won’t let you down

 So you’ve heard that love, is a dangerous game
But my man, he loves me just the same
Despite all the hurt and the pain
And I know I like it.

Through every night and every day
Since you came my way -  girl/boy I feel free
‘Cos you let me be, who I wanna be
And I know I like it

So c’mon babe, won’t you say we’ll paint the town?
I’m feeling pretty rosie, I promise I won’t let you down
I won’t let you down

I got you babe, you got me babe‘

The Coo - Rosie   (single)

Promise Me

Lyrics by Holdert/Arthur

Hold me honey, lately I’ve been mixed up
Feels like there’s a distance in your touch
Maybe like you say you have been busy
Maybe Iike you say, I ask too much
If you tell me I promise you I won’t cry

I don’t wanna be in something heavy
Remember how you used to be so fun?
I don’t need to have this conversation
Call me back tomorrow when you’re done

If I tell you promise me you won’t cry
If I tell you promise me you won’t cry

Are you sure you wanna ask that question?  
Don’t you worry, I won’t be like last time 
As soon as we start looking we might know 
Been trying to keep myself in check 
Makes me wonder why you even bother  
Last night I called you two or three times
Is that somewhere you’re prepared to go?
Why did you not call me back?

If I tell you promise me you won’t cry
If you tell me I promise you I won’t cry
If I tell you promise me you won’t cry

What is it you want now?
To hear that you’re the one 
I’m running

There’s nothing I can say to / When I speak out
Make it go away, I’m running / You just freak out, You’re running 

What is it you want now? / When I speak out
To hear that you’re the one, I’m running / You just freak out, You’re running

Promise Me (Single Edit)

Two songwriters, far apart, write and sing songs about the almost, maybe and the absolutely of our twisting lives.

The Coo is a serendipitous collaboration between singer-songwriters Matt Arthur (UK) and Jara Holdert (NL). Their sound is a delicately balanced blend of 60s and 70s Laurel Canyon folk and the vibrant contemporary flavour of artists such as Andy Shauf, Laura Marling and Mac Demarco. Their songs are intricately crafted, often romantic stories, sang in two part harmony with an intimate and heartfelt delivery. They are currently in the process of preparing the release of their first full length studio album ‘A Different Life’, which they produced themselves in Amsterdam and London, alongside analogue recording maestro Sean Gascoigne.

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 sound of artists such as Carole King & James Taylor; Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris;  Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and contemporary artists such as Angus & Julia Stone and Big Thief.

Their debut single ‘Low Country Girl’ tells the story of their meeting. A wistful and romantic indie folk pop journey through the winding canals of old Amsterdam, reminiscent of ‘Harvest’ era Neil Young and Joni Mitchell’s ‘Ladies of the Canyon’.  

Recorded live at an old synagogue in the centre of Amsterdam in April 2019, you can stream ‘Low Country Girl’below:
