The Zephyr Bones’ hazy, melodic, psychedelic rock flickers with memories that span the distance that separates the native Chile of guitarists and vocalists Brian Silva and Jossip Tkalcic, and the band’s current base in Barcelona, Spain – which is also home to rhythm section, Marc López and Carlos Ramos. The songs on their debut album, Secret Place, share something very intimate and invite the listener to travel to their own secret places, filled with dreams and promises, hidden away from the hectic world and these troubling times. Secret Place synthesizes The Zephyr Bones’ guitar oriented dream pop
—which they have christened “beach wave”— recorded in their own Eclectic Echo Lab studio in Barcelona, and mastered by Victor Garcia.

The Zephyr Bones emerged in 2015 with their debut EP, Wishes/Fishes, on Spanish label La Castanya, earning them a showcase at Barcelona’s famed Primavera Sound. The video for “Weird Summer” was debuted via Noisey who called it, “hazy pop vibes like a hit of serotonin.” The band returned in 2016 with the Black Lips/Surrounded By Sunflowers 7” single, co-released worldwide between the New York label Other Music Recording Co. and La Castanya. DIY magazine featured The Zephyr Bones in a story on the Spanish underground rock scene, alongside Hinds and MOURN. In the past year the band have become a go-to support act for artists coming through Spain including Future Islands and Boogarins.

So High
The Zephyr Bones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will cover you if the sea is too high
I will love you through your sunny face
But the sea is gone

I was confused and the little sun said:
I should have loaded the stars
but I do not know why
the season was strange

oh boy, let's go up
free your soul
and feel as the rain goes up

I will color you if the sea is white
I will hug you on my sunny days
I will do it someday

I was still confused and the great sun said
I should have ignored the stars and now I know why
the reason to get so high
Oh boy

I will cover you if the sea is too high
I will love you through your sunny face

I feel my heart strong
see you and the end of road

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Zephyr Bones' song So High suggests a deep commitment to love and support for the person they are addressing in the song, through thick and thin. The opening line "I will cover you if the sea is too high, I will love you through your sunny face, but the sea is gone" expresses a strong sense of protection and care for their loved one, even in the face of external challenges. The sea being gone could be a metaphor for the absence of stability or consistency in their lives.

The confusion expressed in the second stanza is reminiscent of a crisis of purpose or direction in life. The "little sun" could signify an inner voice or intuition, suggesting that they should have "loaded the stars" or pursued their dreams, but they are not sure why they did not. Despite this uncertainty, they decide to "go up," freeing their soul and feeling as the rain goes up. This could mean they are choosing to focus on their spiritual or emotional growth rather than material possessions or societal expectations.

The rest of the song continues to express a deep commitment to the person they love, promising to color them, hug them, and be there for them through tough times. The final line, "see you and the end of road," could suggest that they see a future with this person, till the end of time, come what may.
