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.”

"This song reminds me that my subconscious is an ally in my songwriting. I was 20 when I wrote this. This is a bit of prescient songwriting, and more wise than I was when I wrote it. I feel more connected to this song emotionally with every passing year." - Jon Nolan
lyrics
When these walls come broken down,
Come broken down
When these walls come broken down,
I’ll hear the music play and children dance again
When these walls around my heart come broken down,
My eyes will see that love again.
I ran into a friend one day, and he said,
“Hey, where’s the time we used to have?
What’s that song you used to play?
It used to make me smile for hours on end.
What’s that song you used to play for me, my friend?
I haven’t felt that good again.”
Oh, and I’m here again.
I know I can’t waste my time out of the light
I know I need my faith again
Snow has come up to my window.
Winter enters like a thief.
Where’s that summer breeze for which I long?
Where love is rampant in the air?
Where’s that love I lost and long to have again?
I haven’t felt that good again.
Where’s that summer breeze I long to have again?
That love will be mine in the end.
