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.
Dead
Zoé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sé como se siente amor
Como muerde el corazón
Cuando se entrega el alma
Perdón
Nunca quise hacerte mal
Pero siempre que me acerco al fuego
Siento que me vo' a morir
Contemplando la membrana azul
De tus ojos fulminando el tiempo
Y el espacio
Siento que me voy a hundir
Que mis labios no funcionan más
Y que tus lagrimas de láser
Desintegran mis palabras
Dead, dead
Dead, dead
Dead, dead
Dead, dead
Perdón
Nunca quise hacerte mal
Pero siempre que me acerco al fuego
Se me escurre el diablo
Siento que me vo' a morir
Contemplando la membrana azul
De tus ojos fulminando el tiempo
Y el espacio
Siento que me voy a hundir
Que mis labios no funcionan mas
Y que tus lagrimas de láser
Desintegran mis palabras
Dead, dead
Dead, dead
Dead, dead
Dead, dead
Siento que me voy a morir
Contemplando la membrana azul
De tus ojos fulminando el tiempo
Y el espacio
Siento que me voy a hundir
Que mis labios no funcionan mas
Y que tus lagrimas de láser
Desintegran mi alma
Desintegran mi alma
Desintegran mi alma
Desintegran mi alma
Desintegran mi alma
The song "Dead" by Zoé explores the overwhelming emotional state of being in love and the risks inherent in putting oneself out there. The opening lines "Sé, sé, sé como se siente amor" (I know, I know, I know how love feels) immediately set the tone for the song as one of deep knowledge and understanding. The following lines "como muerde el corazón, cuando se entrega el alma" (how it bites the heart, when one gives their soul away) further emphasize the intensity of the emotions involved.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Dead, dead" multiple times, perhaps suggesting that the singer feels a sense of finality or inevitability in the situation. Despite these ominous lyrics, the following verse opens with an apology ("perdón, nunca quise hacerte mal" - sorry, I never meant to hurt you), indicating that the singer is aware of their own flaws and limitations.
The lines "siento que me voy a morir contemplando la membrana azul de tus ojos fulminando el tiempo y el espacio" (I feel like I'm going to die looking at the blue membrane of your eyes, which are destroying time and space) highlight the overwhelming power of the other person's gaze, and how it can consume the singer entirely. The next lines, "siento que me voy a hundir" (I feel like I'm going to sink), and "que mis labios no funcionan más" (that my lips aren't working anymore), suggest a loss of agency and control.
The final lines "y que tus lagrimas de láser desintegran mi alma" (and that your laser tears disintegrate my soul) continue the theme of intense emotional destruction, implying that the singer's very being is being pulled apart by the relationship.
