brightest day follows the showers 
oh the grey forfeits the hours of may 

i brought my hat on the way 
by and by my mind seems okay 

oh soleil, wipe of the glower 
drown the day in golden hours to waste 

collect the pieces on your way 
i walk and wonder, if everything is different now or if it's still the same

Black Feather

bold as always 
your black feather
wing it all the time
taking it all as it comes

blind at the parade
climbing the top to see
we’ll be trying then
bringing it home one more time

Z: climbing high upon a tree
Choir: is that so?
Z: still I'm unable to see
Choir: so then go!
Z: off to the edge of the sea
Choir: up and at’em
Z: so close we’re coming undone 

them we climb so high
you hope not to fall and so do I
blessing the bough and the branch that we tred upon
spitting into their yawning mouths

Z: What is that smell? Is it me?
Choir: I don’t know
Z: I reek! and it bothers the tree!!
Choir: Stop the odor!
Z: Hopping into the Sea
Choir: But up it goes!

oooooh ohhhh ohhhh aaa-aw
aaaaa aaii sway me dice me oh realize me
ah how

Choir:

soaring by your side
up in the clouds tonight
making eachother tumbling and coiling
carried by a great relief

can't you see us sailing?
here it comes: one two threeee
where do we go to go to now?
we’ll be making it up as we go
making it up as we go
making it up as we go

With Daniela Czurda on bass and Matthias Frey on drums, The Zew is now venturing into new musical and thematic terrain. The mini-album "Zazel Wants to Fly" (December 2024) takes place in lofty heights.

Whether as a human cannonball, a falcon in flight, or an abrupt leap into the unknown, the songs are tied together by themes of flying and falling. The new tracks tell stories of independence, the thrill of letting go, mutual understanding, and the resilience found in connection with others.
