Lee Coulter is a singer/songwriter whose soulful performance and memorable songwriting have landed him opening spots for music legends Tom Jones and Chuck Berry, critic favorites Martin Sexton and Griffin House and had Sirius XM’s Coffee House channel dub him “the discovery of year” in 2011 for his debut album.
Originally from Brisbane, Australia and based in San Diego since 2006, he uses the combined power of lyrics and music to promote the idea that conscious connection is what separates us from the rest of the matter in the universe. He has spoken to audiences about this at three TEDx events. As one of his songs suggests, “Stardust and forces of attraction, that’s all we are.”
His latest album, People Like You, is available worldwide via digital platforms including iTunes. Lee records and produces all of his own work and the album took two years to record. It is comprised of a wide variety of tracks from acoustic feel-good with “A Glorious Day on the Planet I Love,” to T-Bone Burnett-esque blues with a feminist kick in “Boss Senorita,” to dance floor rock in “Move You,” to folk meets reggaeton in “Live a Litte,” to lo-fi retro ballads like “Kindred Blips.” The glue that keeps it all together is the distinct lyrical themes and a unique baritone voice that seems to come from another time and a soul much older than he. “A lot of people tell me I look nothing like I sound. Like it’s a compliment to my voice. So I’m always wondering how bad I must look.”
Lee lives in Carlsbad, CA with his wife and their 7 year old son and continues to write and produce music for himself and others artists.
DEFINITIVE LYRICS
“If I were a gun I would love to never kill anyone. Melt me down and make me something fun. If I were you, I would love, I would love, I would love.”
“Everybody’s somebody’s baby maybe just maybe someday we’ll see.“
“There’s no need for armor, there’s no place for war because it’s love we’re fighting for.”
“If love is blind I haven’t seen you in some time.”
“Stardust and forces of attraction, that’s all we are.”
“Before the world made history we used the music to set our bodies free. So picture pre-technology, nothing but the rhythm living within you and me.”
“The life of a traveling musician, I’ll pour my heart out everywhere I go. There may be no reason but there’s rhyme and it’s pleasing to these faces in these places I don’t know.”
“I’ve got earth beneath my feet and the sky above... it’s a glorious day on the planet I love.”
“Hey why the attitude? What’s with the bitter mood? You’d feel better if you’d seize the day. Just welcome what it brings. In the greater scheme of things there’s no time to feel this way.”
“There’s a skip in the beat of the heart of the world ‘cause you’re a part of it.”
“Love is a river it flows in the music and grows in the streams of our energy. An ocean of dreams of blues and green between the stars and the sky and you and me.”
