(Lyrics)
You’re in need of a rescue
Sick of feeling alone
Looking for a new attitude
Even if it's on loan 

There's a place we can go
It's not too far away
Where ladies have an infectious glow
And they always want you to stay

Pre-Chorus
Don't sweat the small stuff
Let's refrigerate and chill

Chorus
We’re going to get into a splendid situation
Check out the jam on this here band
Bringing your friends is highly recommended
As we let our souls expand

Look for that neon sign
That says you are divine
Where you leave your troubles at the door
Yeah, you don't need them anymore

Pre-Chorus
Don't sweat the small stuff
Let's refrigerate and chill

Chorus
We’re going to get into a splendid situation
Check out the jam on this here band
Bringing your friends is highly recommended
As we let our souls expand
We’re going to get into a splendid situation
Check out the jam on this here band
Bringing your friends is highly recommended
As we let our souls expand

“Sunsets & Summertime” is a feel-good roots rock celebration of everything we love about the season: grilling out, road trips, mountain views, lazy mornings, and the joy of being with the people who matter most. Released just in time for the summer solstice, the track blends classic Americana grooves with brass-laced warmth and heartfelt vocals to create a breezy, nostalgic mood.

With a solid rhythm section laid down by Mike Lomax (drums) and Wim Becker (bass/guitars), the song is brought to life by a vibrant horn trio — Matt Allen (trumpet), Zach Craigle (saxophone), and Kevin Tall (trombone) — adding soulful punch and a touch of vintage charm. Zak Davis' vocals are earnest and comforting, grounding the track in both emotional sincerity and laid-back cool.

Whether you’re on the back porch with friends or setting out on a weekend getaway, “Sunsets & Summertime” captures that timeless seasonal magic — equal parts road trip playlist, backyard soundtrack, and love letter to long days and golden evenings.

Lyrics:
Been stuck inside all winter long
But now the birds are singing
On a Saturday morning
And the heat beats like a drum

Can’t wait to fire up that grill
With the beer on ice
The shade feels nice
For some summertime chill

Pack up your bags we going to hit the road
Check out a town we never been before
We could ask the locals what they like to do
Or stay in bed and sleep all afternoon

-Chorus-
Your loving’s like the summertime
As long as I got you, I’ll be just fine
Sunsets & Summertime
Like you It’s always on my mind

Let’s hike up to the mountain tops
Stare at the stars when the skyline drops
Friends and family gather at the camp
The fire lights our memories like the perfect lamp

-Chorus-
Your loving’s like the summertime
As long as I got you, I’ll be just fine
Sunsets & Summertime
Like you It’s always on my mind

Sunsets & Summertime

"Reconcile" fuses introspective lyricism with a mellow, funk-infused groove in the vein of Gorillaz and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The song rides a warm, syncopated bassline and laid-back drum pocket, blending subtle electronic textures with organic instrumentation. The production is intentionally raw, giving it an authentic, slightly lo-fi vibe that complements its lyrical depth.

Zak Davis delivers his vocals with a mix of weary reflection and cool defiance. There's an emotional honesty in lines like “I used to think about drinking Friday night / Now it’s just stay alive” that grounds the song in real-life struggle, while the pre-chorus injects a touch of swagger and humor: “Still got low subs pumping in my trunk.”

The chorus opens up into a soulful and emotionally resonant moment, pushing a message of self-love and perseverance: “You got to love yourself before you can reconcile.” Despite its themes of fatigue and existential grind, the track ultimately lands in a place of uplift and human connection.

With smooth transitions and a consistent groove, “Reconcile” is a meditative, funky anthem for anyone navigating the quiet chaos of adulthood — one that urges you to keep climbing even if the mountain laughs back.

Lyrics:
ry to sleep but the pressure’s deep
Wishing you were someone else
Repeat each day into a ten-year leap
Without a good story to tell
Laughing at the mountain I have to climb
Can’t make good use of time
I used to think about drinking Friday night
Now it’s just stay alive

I’m a little older but wiser
Still running on a hamster wheel
Everybody works hard to go nowhere fast
Trying to make it up that hill
There’s an old man in the mirror
But the same young soul is felt
Try to do right and stay in that fight
Playing with the cards your dealt

Pre-Chorus
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the one that survives them all
I got gray hair, I got some chunk
Still got low subs pumping in my trunk


Chorus
You got to find a way to make it all worthwhile
You got to love yourself before you can reconcile

Love the ones who say hello
Never turn down a helping hand
Sometimes company is all you need
No words said but you understand
You got to stay in this fight for life
Trust it’ll be alright
If your life is darkness
Move it into light

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Reconcile

Resort is where love escapes the noise and builds its own rhythm. 🖤🎸

(Lyrics)
Standing in a crowd
Never felt so alone
Everyone is busy talking 
But in a language you don’t know 

That’s about the time our eyes met and you captured my soul
Ten fold

We became our happiness 
We became our entire world 
So it’s unanimous 
We wouldn’t be controlled 

We were like two birds dancing in the sky 
We fly

This is everything we wanted 
This is everything and more
Never feeling disappointed 
Living our reward
Making our resort

This is everything we wanted 
This is everything and more
Never feeling disappointed 
Living our reward
Making our resort

Resort

“Thrill Seeker” is a punk-charged adrenaline anthem for the bold-hearted and chaos-curious. With raw vocals and a driving rhythm, Z Frequency delivers a manifesto for those who crave more than existence—they chase the rush. From frozen hills to haunted thrills, this track dares listeners to resist fear, embrace risk, and live loud.

Whether you’re launching off two wheels or diving into the abyss, “Thrill Seeker” is your sonic permission slip to go full send. OY! OY!

Thrill Seeker Lyrics

You're just existing
Nothing exciting
Not glorifying
Living just to die

But you have free will
You should take a page from my book
and find yourself a thrill

It's not so hard to do
Just know the risks
The fear of dying is the only thing
You must resist

Blaze down that frozen hill
Launch off and send it on two wheels
Carve that perfect barrel curl
Or have the balls to date that girl

You're just a
THRILL SEEKER  OY! OY!
You're just a
THRILL SEEKER OY! OY!

I feel the hunger
I'm feeling rich
To feed the beast
To scratch that itch

So burn out to a quarter mile
Or play with Great White sharks
Go running with the bulls in Spain
Who cares if it's not smart

Don't fear your fate
Just have your fun
Go seek that thrill
Adrenaline

Better now than never
Don't second guess your mind
Don't waste this moment
Now's the perfect time

You're just a…
THRILL SEEKER  OY! OY!
You're just a…
THRILL SEEKER OY! OY!

Do you want to climb the highest peaks
Where atmosphere is thin
Or dive the darkest ocean depths
And sink into abyss
Or perhaps you find it thrilling
To be left alone at night
Investigate a haunted place
And give yourself a fright

🎶 "Remember My Name" by Z Frequency
A genre-fusing anthem that blends alternative rock, funk, hip-hop, and mellow soul into one smooth, reflective groove. With rap verses, sung choruses, and a guitar solo that hits like a memory, this track is a tribute to reinvention, legacy, and the power of showing up—no matter your age.

From band breakups to new beginnings, Remember My Name chronicles the journey of Z Frequency: a front porch prophet with a mic in hand and a mission to make music that matters. It’s warm, wise, and unapologetically groovy—what Zak’s son calls “Dad Groove,” and what we call timeless.

🌀 For fans of: Gorillaz, Anderson .Paak, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Roots  

Remember My Name (Lyrics)
By Z Frequency ©️2024 All Rights Reserved

Verse 1
2001, the band broke up man I thought I was done
But twenty years later, I got the call
“The band’s back together are you ready to ball?”
There I was again back up on the stage
It was hella fun but just not the same
So I started something new called Z Frequency
Been playin that game, my new reality

Verse 2
Reality and prophecy force open your eyes
No surprise, time flies, tick tick tick ticking away
But at the end of the day
Instead of what if’s and what’s done, I see the threads that weave themselves into potential outcomes
What are they going to be? I don’t know, but when Z hoists the colors pas the mic so I can flow
New adventures and endeavors, always thinking that we’re clever, making music for the masses so the negative is 
severed. 

Chorus
Reliving the dream, you ain’t too old to try
Making new routines, don’t let it slip you by
Straight coming from the heart, you gotta get back in the game
Legacy before I part, so you remember my name

Verse 3
Font porch prophet Z doing his thing
Creating auditory diggable infections, a genre insurrection but why?
After all of these years, is irrelevance really still something to fear?
Cause now we’re fifty years old, and I’m here to stay
Rewind the tape cause I’m gonna display
My name the way I want it heard
So you can remember my worth

Chorus
Reliving the dream, you ain’t too old to try
Making new routines, don’t let it slip you by
Straight coming from the heart, you gotta get back in the game
Legacy before I part, so you remember my name

Guitar Solo

Chorus
Reliving the dream, you ain’t too old to try
Making new routines, don’t let it slip you by
Straight coming from the heart, you gotta get back in the game
Legacy before I part, so you remember my name

Remember My Name

🎸 "Good As It Gets" by Z Frequency
Dirty distortion. Delta swagger. Classic rock soul. Good As It Gets is a slow-burning blues-rock confession from the heart of the grind—where neon lights blur into broken dreams and middle-aged truth hits harder than any solo.

With a raw vocal delivery and guitars that growl like they’ve lived through it, this track channels the spirit of Springsteen, Black Keys, and early ZZ Top. It’s not chasing youth—it’s owning the scars, the bills, and the bittersweet pride of being “better than most.”

🪶 For fans of: The Black Keys, Chris Stapleton, Gary Clark Jr., Tom Petty  

Good As It Gets (Lyrics)

In the heart of the city, under neon lights,
I've been living by day and drinking by night

This ain't no rehearsal, this is a one-time deal
I feel I'm only living just to pay the damn bills

Wake up in the morning, and years take flight
Every day gets faster, even faster at night

Yeah, I'm a middle-class sucker
An average middle-aged Joe
Ain't living the rich life
But better than most
All my broken dreams I kept
Well, I guess this is as good as it gets

Yeah, I'm a middle-aged wash up
I'm an average Joe
Ain't living the rich dream
But better than most
All those broken dreams I kept
Guessing this is as good as it gets.

Damn!
