Lina Cooper needs a “Reason Not To Jump”

"Reason Not To Jump" is the latest release from LA-based indie pop singer-songwriter Lina Cooper, whose style of contemporary pop caught our attention earlier this year.

This new song is a solemn, reflective tune about heartbreak, the aftermath of loss, and the lingering pain that leads to depression. Inspired by true events that Cooper experienced when her ex-boyfriend passed away 8 months after they broke up. The song looks at the good times, and memories they shared, and how things turned sour.

As much as she is introspective, she also does some reflection on the entire tragic saga. Backed by bright plucky guitar arrangements and rousing drum grooves, Cooper gives audiences an unfiltered glimpse into her heart with lines like "Got a good grip on the truth/But that doesn’t change what you do/To me in my weakest times/I thought you’d be my reason not to jump."

Overall, "Reason Not To Jump" is heart-wrenching and touching, but gladly it ends on a positive note with Cooper adding an inspirational voice memo from her friend to help brighten the mood.
