Known for their live shows, the group has gained a worldwide following. With 'Living in a Magazine’ Zoot Woman established themselves on the music scene. Credited by many within the industry as one of the most important forerunners of electroclash.
Well-received by critics; NME rated the album 'Things Are What They Used To Be' 8/10 with Camilla Pia writing, “The electro-clash survivors are at their most impressive yet: combining rip-your-heart-out lyrics with instantly singable melodies and frosty synths, all tinged with the occasional flurry of string and disco riffs. This is a masterclass in modern electronic music, finessed by innovation and emotional depth.”
The Guardian’s Dave Simpson writing, “More Than Ever wraps undying love up in big keyboard stabs, Witness is an effective moody stomp, and Lonely By Your Side – a personal/existential crisis in a three-minute pop song – can hold its head up among their heroes.”
Videos including "We Won't Break", and "Memory" have achieved great success for Zoot Woman on YouTube. This album helped expose the band to a worldwide market. It features the singles "Just A Friend Of Mine", "More Than Ever", "Memory", "We Won't Break" & "Live In My Head".
It was announced on their official website that Zoot Woman were in the studio and had begun recording new material for a follow-up album.[2]
On January 1, 2013, the Zoot Woman Facebook and Twitter accounts stated that the band look forward to introducing and touring the new album Star Climbing. On December 11th 2013, Zoot Woman's new single, The Stars Are Bright was made available on iTunes, nearly one year after the initial album announcement.
Other singles from the album Star Climbing include the song Don't Tear Yourself Apart. Stuart Price said in a statement, "We recorded Star Climbing over a three year period between our studios, working on songs and lyrics until we felt like we had found the albums direction. It is our most distinctive album to date, combining all our different tastes and styles into one."

We Won't Break
Zoot Woman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Far away
Take us both today
Before we break
Forever changing faces
Whatever gets you free
I just can't go on with this uncertainty
What in me would you replace
If I could fully show you I believe
Take me far away
Far away
Take us both today
Before we break
Take me far away
Need a change to make
All I need to say
We won't break
Forever meet your promise
You won't let me down
Want you in my life
But now you can't be found
Wish you knew how hard I've tried
To be near you all the time
I guess you forget but you won't forgive
Forgive
Take me far away
Far away
Take us both today
Before we break
Listen to the sound
Everyone around
The future on the ground
We won't break
Take me far away
Need a change to make
All I need to say
We won't break (x3)

The chorus serves as an anthem of resilience, as they assert that they "won't break." The repetition of this phrase emphasizes their strength and determination to move forward. The final line of the song, "We won't break," is repeated three times, perhaps as a reminder to themselves of their own strength.
Overall, the lyrics of "We Won't Break" explore the struggles of uncertainty and broken promises, while also asserting the strength to move past them.

You failed, there's at least one other copy of this on youtube with 3/4 of a million views that's been up for 15 years. I'm glad I found this one because it has better sound, but I never would have tried to find it if it weren't for revisiting a really old playlist that had the poor quality rendition in it, and thinking to search for a better copy.....
@randymarsh4733
@@MaverickBlue42 It doesn't really matter how many views a video has, if you can't remember the artist, the title, the lyrics or even the melody of the the song. All I had was an idea of the visual style of the video and that I liked the song.

From the first time I heard this song, when I was about 6 or 7 years old, to this day, it has remained one of my all-time favorites. Whenever I grabbed my dad's first Ipod, (which was rather a stone, than anything else, but never ceased to amaze me / I’m talking the very first! Release 2001) -I would blast this banger on loop, at full volume.
