Cloud Control signed to bespoke independent label Infectious Music in 2010, and very quickly the tightly packed four-piece from the picturesque and rugged terrains of Australia’s Blue Mountains started to turn heads with the NME claiming “We’ve got a new bunch of favourite fuzzlings, and their name is Cloud Control” and noted BBC Radio 1 D.J Nick Grimshaw hailing Bliss Release the bands debut long-player “perfect for summer time”.

The first part 2011 saw Cloud Control complete a string of live shows on both sides of the Atlantic, including a grueling nine show campaign at SXSW in Austin Texas and support slots in the UK with Noah & the Whale, Mona and the Naked and Famous. During this first visit to Europe, respected Dutch music title Oor Magazine noted “Cloud Control is setting a foundation for an undoubtedly successful music year for them in Europe. Let The Vaccines, Mona and the rest fight over being newcomer of the year. Here in Paradiso stood one of the festival hits of 2011.”

Returning to Australia to play two sold-out headline shows, the band were specially requested by Foo Fighters to support them in a one off charity concert for Queensland Flood Relief.

With their amps still steaming Cloud Control jetted back to the UK for their debut headline tour. This ended triumphantly in front of a sold-out crowd at venue XOYO in London’s East End. And it seems as the weeks continue to unfold towards the UK & EU release of ‘Bliss Release’, more and more people are professing their love for the group, including Huw Stephens from BBC Radio 1 who tweeted “Watching Cloud Control filling the breathtaking Koko venue with their stomping harmonious beauty” and Drowned In Sound who declared “Cloud Control have made a tremendously enjoyable album.”

Cloud Control are Alister Wright (guitar/lead vocals), Jeremy Kelshaw (bass) and siblings Heidi Lenffer (keyboards/vocals) and Ulrich Lenffer (drums).

Cloud Control Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hate it when you walk awaye
All the things that I couldn't say
When I look back on yesterday
Can't see 'cause it starts to rain
And I'm waiting to be on the throne
But it feels like I'm coming home
I tell everybody on my phone

This is how it feels in the zone
This is how it feels in the zone
This is how it feels in the zone
I tell everybody on my phone
This is how it feels in the zone

I hate it when you feel this pain
When you say you wanna walk away
But it don't have to be that way
I never wanna walk away
And I'm waiting for you on the throne
But I know you wanna walk alone
I just wanna let you know
It's good when you're in my zone

This is how it feels in the zone
This is how it feels in the zone
I'm letting my feelings show
This is how it feels in the zone

I remember when we walked away
Nothing like a shadow of a Charlotte day
I've been thinking about the lavender ray
This is where I wanna stay
'Cause I've waited to be on the throne
But it feels like I'm coming home
It's the moment that you let it go

This is how it feels in the zone
(This is how it feels in the zone
This is how it feels in the zone, zone
My zone! Woo!)

So the zone is this special place
In a special time
Just for you
The zone is you
You are the zone
Let's all be in the zone together
Tomorrow
Today
Forever

This is how it feels in the zone
This is how it feels in the zone
I'm letting my feeling show
This is how it feels in the zone
I'll tell everybody on my phone
'Cause it feels like I"m coming home
I just wanna let you know
It's good when you're in my zone
This is how it feels in the zone

This is how it feels in the zone
This is how it feels in the zone

I hate it when you walk away
It annoys me when you leave without saying goodbye

All the things that I couldn't say
I have a lot to say but didn't find the right time to say them

When I look back on yesterday
When I reflect on the past

Can't see 'cause it starts to rain
The rain's intensity makes it hard for me to see

And I'm waiting to be on the throne
I'm ambitious and looking forward to being in a powerful position

But it feels like I'm coming home
Despite my ambition, I still feel comfortable with where I am currently

I tell everybody on my phone
I share my excitement with my friends and family through the phone

This is how it feels in the zone
This is how it feels when you're in a special place and moment

I hate it when you feel this pain
It bothers me when you're hurting

When you say you wanna walk away
When you express your desire to leave

But it don't have to be that way
Things could be different

I never wanna walk away
I don't want to leave you alone

And I'm waiting for you on the throne
I'm waiting for you to join me in achieving greatness together

But I know you wanna walk alone
I understand if you want to pursue your own path

I just wanna let you know
I want to reassure you

It's good when you're in my zone
You make me feel good and comfortable when we're together in this special place

I remember when we walked away
I recall a time when we decided to leave

Nothing like a shadow of a Charlotte day
It was a completely different time

I've been thinking about the lavender ray
I've been reflecting on a serene and tranquil experience

This is where I wanna stay
I want to remain in this serene state of mind

'Cause I've waited to be on the throne
Because I've been longing for that feeling of power

But it feels like I'm coming home
I still feel calm and comfortable where I am in this special place

It's the moment that you let it go
It's in the moment when you surrender and release your worries that you find peace

So the zone is this special place
This special place is what defines the zone

In a special time
It requires the perfect moment

Just for you
It's unique to each individual

The zone is you
You define what the zone is for you, nobody else can do it for you

You are the zone
The state of mind that you find yourself in is the zone

Let's all be in the zone together
Let's all try and find our special place and be in it together

Tomorrow
The future

Today
The present

Forever
Eternity

I'm letting my feelings show
I'm expressing how I feel

I'll tell everybody on my phone
I'm going to share how I feel with everyone I know

This is how it feels in the zone
This is how you feel when you're immersed in that special place and moment
