The Experience: Alesso's beat joins up with Roy English's sweet vocals in the new single Cool - which sweetly complains that we can't keep pretending to be cool when we're deeply in love.
Official Video: Still waiting.
The meaning of Cool speaks of trying to keep it cool, then giving up on it for something better: love. "I can't do it alone, I swear." Other lines that speak of his need are "You were the beacon I followed home, you were the one who rescued me." Needing his girl so badly Roy stops trying to be cool and ends up acting like a fool. And he doesn't mind.
People trying to be cool are focused on themselves. People who love forget themselves and keeping up appearances. Love doesn't make us cool. Love makes us fulfilled, when we fulfill the ones we love.

LYRICS:
I saw stars on the pavement
California dreams
Looked up through the bright lights
Those stars that I see
You said "It's all yours if you take it there"
I said "I can't do it alone, I swear."
You said, "It's all yours, it's all yours."
And you smiled
It's only you
Who loves me like you do
Tryin' to keep it cool
But I can't keep cool without it
Actin' like a fool
Wanna scream it from the roof
I'm tryin' to keep it cool
But I can't keep cool without it
Before your love I was lost
Drifting at sea
You were the beacon I followed home
You were the one who rescued me
You said "It's all yours if you take it there"
I said "I can't do it alone, I swear."
You said, "It's all yours, it's all yours."
And you smiled
It's only you
Who loves me like you do
Tryin' to keep it cool
But I can't keep cool without it
Actin' like a fool
Wanna scream it from the roof
I'm tryin' to keep it cool
But I can't keep cool without it
You said, Oh...
I don't wanna lose you
No...
It's only you
Who loves me like you do
Tryin' to keep it cool
But I can't keep cool without it
Actin' like a fool
Wanna scream it from the roof
I'm tryin' to keep it cool
But I can't keep cool without it
Without it
I saw stars on the pavement
California dreams
Looked up through the bright lights
Those stars that I see
You said "It's all yours if you take it there"
I said "I can't do it alone, I swear."
You said, "It's all yours, it's all yours."
And you smiled
It's only you
Who loves me like you do
Tryin' to keep it cool
But I can't keep cool without it
Actin' like a fool
Wanna scream it from the roof
I'm tryin' to keep it cool
But I can't keep cool without it
Before your love I was lost
Drifting at sea
You were the beacon I followed home
You were the one who rescued me
You said "It's all yours if you take it there"
I said "I can't do it alone, I swear."
You said, "It's all yours, it's all yours."
And you smiled
It's only you
Who loves me like you do
Tryin' to keep it cool
But I can't keep cool without it
Actin' like a fool
Wanna scream it from the roof
I'm tryin' to keep it cool
But I can't keep cool without it
You said, Oh...
I don't wanna lose you
No...
It's only you
Who loves me like you do
Tryin' to keep it cool
But I can't keep cool without it
Actin' like a fool
Wanna scream it from the roof
I'm tryin' to keep it cool
But I can't keep cool without it
Without it
