Wilder Mind EP
Weaving together raw, honest lyrics and monumentally catchy melodies, Wilder Mind traverses the intricate landscape of the human experience. From the complexities of love to the exploration of consciousness and spirituality, this collection of songs guides the listener to a path of self-discovery in heart and mind. Once again Cools’ powerful storytelling shines through, producing a record that is strikingly relatable and deeply moving.
Sterrenhemel
A breathtaking ballad about loss, grief, and hope, Sterrenhemel is Cools’s first time singing in her native language Flemish. The deeply personal song is about finding peace within the heartbreak of losing someone you love. Accompanied by dreamy piano & string composition and ethereal harmonies, Sterrenhemel guides the listener into a space of surrender and healing.
Misfit Paradise EP
Misfit Paradise explores the complex relationships we have with ourselves, others, and our environment, and how we find peace and meaning within it all. It is about life’s greatest joys – love, acceptance, nature, adventure – but also its greatest sorrows. Inspired by times of restlessness, elation, heartbreak, and wonder, Misfit Paradise aims to capture little specs of magic against a world of unknowns.

“While Misfit Paradise is rife with exposed vulnerability... you truly start to understand the sheer power of this woman. And you'll be damned to ever underestimate it.”
EARMILK
“Like a 2020 revamp of [Stevie] Nicks’ signature style — Cools’ powerful voice soars over the classic rock-esque arrangement, creating something that is as crisp and hard-hitting as it is smoky and alluring.”
American Songwriter
“[A] well-traveled artist whose dreamy, lilting vocals and illustrations of her surroundings leave a long-lasting impression.”

Lyrics
Another Night
It’s a little colder down by the coast of California
Couple miles and I found my way to you
It’s a little funny when they say stop looking for it
And when you’re told you’ll know when you know
But what if we never met
What if I never said
Could I come over?
I wanna know you better
What if it lasts a day
What if it never fades
One way to find out
Wake me with the morning light
Spend another night
I know it’s strange when I get so emotional
But it’s a side I rarely tend to show
When do you tell somebody new what’s bent and broken
Pull them in enough to let you grow
So what if we never met
What if I never said
Could I come over?
I wanna know you better
What if it lasts a day
What if it never fades
One way to find out
Wake me with the morning light
Spend another night
It’s not like me to go so easy
Know you now have
Every part of me
It’s not like me to go so easy
Know you now have
Every part of me
What if we never met
What if I never said
Could I come over?
I wanna know you better
What if it lasts a day
What if it never fades
One way to find out
Wake me with the morning
What if we never met
What if I never said
Could I come over?
I wanna know you better
What if it lasts a day
What if it never fades
One way to find out
Wake me with the morning light
Won’t you spend another night
Gold Woman
Late night drink at a bar on the east side
Feel her gaze coming near
Got that boho chic look I know it too well
Brings you right to your knees
She grabs your hand on the way to the bathroom
What do you think I’m that naïve
Whispers in your ear all night
While you’re standing next to me
Gold silver daisies
Running through her hair
Everybody turns their
Head to stop and stare
She’s a gold woman
Gold woman
Gold woman
Oooh
But was she worth it
Singer in the daytime, model at night
Obviously your style
Tips her drink just a little too far
Winks when you meet her eye
Says that she doesn’t smoke
Until you step outside
Asks if you would light her up
Turns to me with a delicate smile
Gold silver daisies
Running through her hair
Everybody turns their
Head to stop and stare
She’s a gold woman
Gold woman
Gold woman
Oooh
But was she worth it
Oh was she worth it
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I’ve been the other woman
Maybe once or twice
Baby don’t you think
I Recognize the signs
I’m a gold woman
Gold woman
Gold woman
Ooh
Gold silver daisies
Running through her hair
Everybody turns their
Head to stop and stare
She’s a gold woman
Gold woman
Gold woman
Oooh
But was she worth it
Yosemite
Drove outside the city scape
Feathers blowing wild
Little towns in winter’s ruse
Breathing in the light
Melting fires and burning wood
I slept so well tonight
Buried nests, the cubs may rest
Dreaming in the sky
Meet me at Yosemite
How the leaves have fallen clean
When the howling winds are calling me
Meet me at Yosemite
Meet me at Yosemite
Past and present into one
Our energies confide
So deep inside the forest green
The love we cannot hide
Meet me at Yosemite
How the leaves have fallen clean
When the howling winds are calling me
Meet me at Yosemite
Meet me at Yosemite
Meet me at Yosemite
How the leaves have fallen clean When the howling winds are calling me
Meet me at Yosemite
Meet me at Yosemite
Misfit Paradise
Hazy afternoon
Spent it with you again
Day just passing by
We care for the now
We’ll see if it lasts
But this is a spec of magic
We’ve got here
They’ll always be
What I’m waiting here for
Out in the free fall
Honey just see
This isn’t your place now
It’s only for real love
We open these gates
To those with a wild heart
Give everything they’ve got
In this misfit paradise
In this misfit paradise
We are all young
Running through the leaves
The only way we know
Is never to let go
These people we meet
Are we just the lucky ones
Seeing what’s beneath
We care for the now
We’ll see if it lasts
But this is a spec of magic
We’ve got here
They’ll always be
What I’m waiting here for
Out in the free fall
Honey just see
This isn’t your place now
It’s only for real love
We open these gates
To those with a wild heart
Give everything they are
In this misfit paradise
In this misfit paradise
We are all young
In this misfit paradise
We are all young
In this misfit paradise
We are all young
In this misfit paradise
We are all young
In this misfit paradise
We are all young
Soaring
I’ve got a lump in my throat
All of the things I’ve never told
It’s hard to explain what’s torn inside
And what will make it feel alright
I’m falling
Every day
And every night
I’m soaring
Over the clouds
Never looking back
I’ve tried to free my mind
It’s hard to explain
The grip you’ve got on me
Will you ever be happy
I’m falling
Every day
And every night
I’m soaring
Over the clouds
Never looking back
I’ve got a lump in my throat
All of the things you’ll never know
It’s hard to explain everything I fear Where do we go from here
I’m falling
Every day
And every night
I’m soaring
Over the clouds
Never looking back
