Update

It's just a matter of time
Before we find our way
The bridges have decayed
An update is overdue to the model

Before we take the stage
Better learn the lines we made
You can always be a man
Don't blame it on the bottle

It's just a matter of time until we get it right.......

Update

"Dan Zweben’s music has been heard all over the world through tv placements such as Smallville, The Real World, October Road, Men In Trees and in 2008, “Oregon” was the soundtrack to Obama’s Youth Ad which ran throughout the primary & during the Super Bowl!



Dan Zweben is a singer/songwriter and guitarist who answers the question, "Where is all the good, catchy pop music?" Zweben is both a rocker and a folk artist, playing up this contrast on his latest EP, In These Times. He allows his breezy voice to linger on lyrics that hint darkly at themes of loss, pain, and general human regret. The music behind those arresting words takes even more daring twists: as great as Zweben croons with a sugary harmony arrangement, prepare yourself to be surprised within moments by one of his vicious guitar riffs. 

In the feel good tune, "Safe With Me," the narrator confesses the long road, although still bumpy, will be better together. When Zweben sings, "We hit a rough patch/ now it's green grass/ rolling in the sun," it’s easy to believe in this hard earned love affair. The song is beautiful, its lyrics about a leap of faith in the tradition of Townes Van Zandt's "If I Needed You." With catchy hooks and melodies, it also has the feel of George Harrison's "Cloud Nine," a smart pop song that’s completely infectious. The standout track, however, is the heartbreaking, "You Don't Have To Love Me." A lesser singer would perhaps drown in sentimental ooze, but Zweben makes a very mature story about two adults who have realized their love is finally over. 

Dan Zweben's music has recently been featured on television shows such as, "October Road," "Smallville," "Ghost Whisperer," and MTV's "The Real World." His music video for "You Don't Have To Love Me" (starring Law and Order: SVU actress Michaela McManus) was selected for The Hollywood East Film Festival.

"POST Z" is Dan Zweben, singer, songwriter whose songs have been featured all over television including Smallville, The Real World, Ghost Whisperer, Men In Trees and October Road.  Now a minimalist living in Brooklyn, his recordings are self produced lo fi affairs.....Because #climatechangeisreal and music and water is all you really need in life....
