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.
Let Go
Zerbin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your father he don't love you
And your brother he don't want you around
I know this might be hard to take
‘cause all our hearts are prone to break
But babe you've gotta hear me out
And all your friend are going broke
This worlds just tryna throw you down
And when god don't hear the words you say
All the prayers they told you to pray
And you feel just like droppin out
Hold your head up high
And let this whole thing go
Dance the night away
Put the fight back in your soul
We'll I know this world can feel fucked up
But this just seems to be our luck
It's the cards we're dealt and the curse in the ground
But the chosen one is overhead
The river runs down crimson red
And the kingdoms coming in the sound
So hold your head up high
And let this whole thing go
Dance the night away
Put the fight back in your soul
Hold your head up
