Song Meaning of “I Koupasti (Live)” by George Perris
‘I Koupasti’ is a moving live performance from George Perris, recounting his own personal journey of struggle and perseverance. Through this powerful song, we are shown just how far he has come, and what it took for him to get to where he is today.
The song begins with gentle guitar and vocal, setting a reflective tone as Perris helps us imagine going back in time to when he was a much younger man. We can feel the struggles evident in his voice and the ache of memories that still linger ‘in his soul’. We can also hear the deep appreciation that he has now found, for every hard-fought victory.
The chorus to the song tells us of all the difficulties that he had to face, and how he had to be willing to ‘take a chance’ in order to make his life better. He speaks of all the times he ignored the warnings of others, and how despite the fear and doubt he stayed strong and kept his course.
The bridge in this song is a showcase of the courage that it took for him to reach his goals. He tells us to embrace the ‘spontaneous courage’ to take risks, and in doing so we can discover strength that will carry us through any fear of the unknown.
At the climax of the song, we hear Perris reminding himself that he can look ‘to the future with optimism.’
