Recently, Beverly Glenn-Copeland released a live performance video for “Laughter in Summer,” featuring Elizabeth Copeland.
The song is the third single from the upcoming album of the same name, set to be released on February 6, 2026 via Transgressive.
It’s a beautiful and deeply emotional piece—gentle, radiant, and certain to pull at the heartstrings.
About the track by Beverly:
A song born almost accidentally, Glenn at first composed music for a series of instrumentals meant for listeners to write their own lyrics.
When he played the piece for Elizabeth, by a lake, listening to loons and gazing at the sky, words rose up in her: laughter in summer, how I remember.
Diagnosed with dementia 2 years prior, Glenn and Elizabeth have discovered new ways to navigate the world together, and to create the art and music that so pulls them.
On writing “Laughter in Summer“ together: “It was a very painful time,” Elizabeth recalls, “because I was so aware of just how much of my sweetheart I was losing.”
My life, my joy, on Earth, here, with you, she sang. The words came as a gift, as if from the loons themselves.
