Don​’​t Tie Me Down

from Here Again: A Retrospective (1994​-​2002) by Say ZuZu

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    - 150g clear orange color vinyl
    - 12", 2-LP

    Say ZuZu is an Americana rock band from New Hampshire. Originally formed in 1991, Say ZuZu recorded and released nine full-length albums before disbanding in 2003 and reuniting in 2019. The band’s first release on Strolling Bones Records is Here Again: A Retrospective (1994-2002) and includes highlights from the group’s five studio albums recorded during its touring heyday. A new studio record from the band is scheduled for release in 2023 on Strolling Bones Records.

    “For those who haven't met our music before, these are highlights from five records released between 1994-2002. The songs focus on the large internal lives of people in small mill towns like ours. This record also chronicles a decade of growth from a fiercely independent, self-produced New Hampshire band that flew under the radar during the heyday of the 1990s alt-country movement. The title of the record, Here Again, is inspired by a song from our 1994 self-titled record. We've always sought to write songs that hold up, personal songs that are durable and can stand on their own in a variety of arrangements. "Here Again" is one of those songs. It's also a fitting title for a record that's an opening salvo from a recently reunited band with its first new studio record forthcoming in 2023.”

about

"Relationship dysfunction inspired this one (yawn), but musically I was hearing Jackson Browne’s “For Everyman” record, which is one of my all-time favorites. The great Dan Dugmore plays lap steel on this, and he got a big kick out of our request to play a solo in the style of Sneaky Pete Kleinow." - Cliff Murphy

lyrics

Well the road leads down
And it screams off course
And I go on my way to try to find it
In a clear and distant memory
Of a face that I once turned to
Now your face it just seems cold
And you reach out to hold me back
You might find me underneath it all
Crying out for something to come and take me on

Yeah, but don’t tie me down
Nothing comes from nothing anyway
But, don’t tie me down
If nothing comes of this, well I can’t say.

Well, I’m standing in the shadows
And I’m calling to you softly
And I know I can’t find my own way out
You might find me waiting
Or you might find me lonesome
Or holding out for one who might come and take me over
You might find me underneath your bones
Crying out for someone to come and take me over

And so I’ve come to this:
I know I can’t wait on you any longer
Yeah, you might find me half the way
When I can’t say that I’m okay
Or knowing why all I’ve got is rusted and gone
You might find me underneath it all
Crying out for someone to come and save my soul
