1) A Mexican rock band, that's not not afraid of experimenting, with a modern sound, an eclectic style, some British influences & overall, their music's sophisticated without loss of rock energy. Their lyrics cover many subjects / feelings, with the same level of sophistication that their music shows, plus honesty. They usually write songs in Spanish, sometimes in English or a combination of both languages.
They began as a band in 1994; as time went by, the band changed members several times until the definite lineup stuck in 1997 with León Larregui (vocals and guitar), Sergio Acosta (guitar), Beto Cabrera (drums), Ángel Mosqueda (bass) and Chucho Báez (keyboards). Then the band made a demo and many gigs on their own with the little resources that they had; with all that, Zoé began to call the attention of the hispanic radio stations in the U.S. Later in 1998, Zoé signed a record deal with Sony Music Mexico and began making their first record in 2000; this album, self titled, came out and quickly became a favorite of the audience in Mexico; after that, the band performed songs in soundracks of movies such as 'Amar Te Duele', 'Ladies Night' and 'The Dreamer'.
Fast forward to 2003. Zoé, along with producer Phil Vinall (Placebo, Elastica, Pulp), recorded their second album called 'Rocanlover', which became more successful than the first one thanks to hit songs like 'Peace & Love' and 'Veneno', which aired in several TV countdowns.
In 2005, after three years of working together, Zoé left Sony Music because of the lack of real interest that this record label had in them and signed a new deal with Noiselab; with a newfound belief in record labels, Zoé made an EP called 'The Room', which debuted at the top of the rankings in Mexico. This EP includes, among others, the song 'Dead' (first single); also,are including "She Comes" and "Morning Watts" as new songs and also some remixes of "Dead" by great electronic artists from Mexico such as Sonido Lasser Drakkar or Los Dynamite, plus a couple of videos.
On July 12th, 2006; Zoé (now wih Rodrigo Guardiola in the drums) presented their more recent production, "Memo Rex Commander y el Corazón atómico de la Vía Láctea", a sophisticate, layered production, which tops several magazines' rankings. Both Zoé and producer Phil Vinall worked very hard in Tornillo, Texas, a remote town in the desert, to get "Memo Rex" finished.
In fall 2006, Zoé headlined the Rockampeonato Tour, along with other Noiselab signees like Los Dynamite and Los Odio!, which held shows at cities like Mérida, Guadalajara and many others. This is the biggest tour Zoé has been a part of since they were formed.
In 2007 Zoé recorded "281107", a live album that celebrates their first 10 years as a band, it was recorded on the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, this recording went platinum pretty quickly which is something unusual for live recordings in Mexico. On November 11th 2008 "Repileptric" Zoé's seventh studio album was released.
2) An alias of Zoë Pollock (b. in Peckham, London, UK - aka Zoë, Zoe, Hepzibah Broom & Pollack), is a pop / rock / folk singer who began her career in the mid-80s, dated Martin Glover (aka Youth, who produced her early work), released three solo albums (two as Zoë, another as Hepzibah Broom) & several singles. She is now a member of Mama.
Her 1991 début, Scarlet Red And Blue (originally, released as Zoë's Scarlet Red And Blue), contained Sunshine On A Rainy Day & "Lightning" (aka Sunshine On A Rainy Day & Lightning, with 'Zoe' spelling), which have been her biggest hits, to date (peaking at #4 & #37, respectively - on the UK chart).
In 1996, Zoë re-emerged - still with M & G Records & bringing a revamped image / style / sound - releasing an americana-styled rock album, Hammer.
Re-emerging again, around 2008, she has released Hepzibah Broom (as Hephzibah Broom) & formed female folk duo 'Mama' (with singer Sarah McQuaid - their début release is Crow Coyote Buffalo).
3) A French-speaking variétés françaises singer, whose tune "Je Porte Un Toast" sounds like a cross between Françoise Hardy & Lamb.
Al Final
Zoé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La inercia de tu ley de edad
Lo importante de aceptar
Todas mis habilidades
Y lo que recargaba en ti
Al final
Sentimientos que quedan detrás
Fósiles, costumbres
Como costras se caen
Y las cicatrices comienzan a bordarse
Todo cobra sentido
Cuando se acerca el final
Hicimos todos lo mismo
Con una fuerza brutal
Inventando mi propia oración
Una que sirva pa' calmarme
Cuando estoy en problemas
Se me quita lo ateo
Eso no significa que se vaya mi repudio
A la dogmática de la religión
Del masivo engaño de la televisión
De la política
De la extinción
Todo cobra sentido
Cuando se acerca el final
Hicimos todos lo mismo
Con una fuerza brutal
The song "Al Final" by Zoé speaks about coming to a realization of the important things in life as one nears the end. The first verse states that now the singer understands the inertia of the law of age and the importance of accepting all of their abilities and what was recharged in their loved one. With the phrase "Al final" which means "in the end" being repeated at the end of each stanza, it is clear that the message of the song revolves around the idea of life's end. The second verse talks about letting go of past feelings and habits and beginning to heal. The line "Y las cicatrices comienzan a bordarse" which means "and the scars begin to be sewn" indicates that the singer is ready to move on and heal old wounds.
The chorus repeats the message that everything becomes clear as one nears the end of their life. The singer acknowledges that everyone has lived their life with a great force, implying that they have all lived passionately. The bridge speaks of the singer adding a new prayer to their life, that will bring them peace and calm in times of trouble. This prayer helps them feel better even though they are repulsed by dogmatic religion, mass deception by the media, politics and the extinction of life. The song concludes with the chorus repeating, driving the point home that in the end, everything becomes clear.

muy pocos lo entenderán: según mi punto de vista esta canción hace referencia a como los seres humanos nos destruimos y engañamos unos a otros,como creamos guerras sin razón y fronteras .... solo hace falta ponerle un poco de atención a la letra..... para darnos cuenta de que nuestras guerras y divisiones nos acercan cada vez al fin de la humanidad.... por eso se llama "al final" ..... porque al final todo cobra sentido..... nos damos cuenta de lo que hicimos y desperdiciamos de como nos matamos unos a otros.... al planeta....a otros seres vivos... y nos damos cuenta de que somos algo efímero... y que tal vez un día cuando llegue el final .... nos daremos cuenta de lo que desperdiciamos
disculpen si sonó apocalíptico... pero es cierto ...nosotros somos los que creamos nuestro propio destino ..... nuestro propio final
