Their debut LP, 2010’s “Of Fools And Gold”, boasts melodic and symphonic alternative rock, with tracks like “In Your Arms” and “Fools and Gold” capturing fans the world over by offering a musical journey playing on “the tensions of love.” Pulsing melodies and clever writing in tracks such as “Hear Me” and “Here On The Edge” create vibes easy to lose yourself in. Through garnishing choruses with pop accessibility the band still manages to skillfully provide lyrical and musical moments of deep emotion and spirituality.
Zerbin’s music has peaked the interest of talent scouts and major label executive across North America and landed them a nomination for the CGMA’s Best New Artist of the Year award. The group has also received nods from the realm of film and television with music appearing in both independent and large-scale productions, including “Going the Distance” starring Justin Long and Drew Barrymore.
As passionate songwriters with a seemingly endless flow of songs, Zerbin feels as though they are just getting started. The band has shared bills with a myriad of national and international acts (TenSecondEpic, Leeland, TFK), bringing their fresh lyrics, soaring vocals and brilliant blend of expansive soundscapes to festivals, cathedrals and clubs across North America. It is clear that the best days for these ambitious Canadians are still to come.

I am, the loser can you love me just as
I am, the broken can you mend me just as
Coz' I Am' is the healer, my healer, my healer
Hold me in your arms, never let me fall out
Catch me in you arms, I never wanna fall down
Cover me in your love, I'm standing all alone now
Hold me in your arms
I am, the looser can you love me just as
I am, the broken can you mend me just as
Coz' I Am' is the healer, my healer, my healer
Hold me in your arms, never let me fall out
Catch me in you arms, I never wanna fall down
Cover me in your love, I'm standing all alone now
Hold me in your arms
I can hear the sound of heaven, I can hear the song of heaven
In "In Your Arms" Zerbin presents us with a song that is both emotional and deep. The lyrics talk about a person who is broken, lost, and in need of healing. The singer asks if the person they love can accept them for who they are, despite their flaws, mistakes or errors.
The opening lyrics, "I am the leper can you touch me just as I am, the loser can you love me just as I am, the broken can you mend me just as," reflects the singer's sense of vulnerability and despair. The singer is looking for comfort and support from someone they truly love. The repeated phrase, "coz' I am is the healer, my healer, my healer," alludes to the idea that the love of the person they are addressing is the source of their healing.
The chorus is an expression of the singer's desire to be held and never fall out, caught and never allowed to fall down. Holding the singer in the arms represents the embrace of the person they love, who provides that feeling of security, warmth, and solace that is so coveted. The last line "I can hear the sound of heaven, I can hear the song of heaven," is probably suggesting that their love is from beyond this world, and it's a love that has the power to heal and make everything better.
