    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

"This song basically fell out of me in complete form in about 30 minutes. As a songwriter, you’re always grateful when that happens because it's rare. I was listening to a bunch of Johnny Cash, and my bandmate was taking some bluegrass flatpicking lessons. I hear me stealing from both influences here." - Jon Nolan

lyrics

Well I pray thee – bring me in a big clay jar
Fill it with the love in your heart and leave it for me
To drink all night like getting drunk on wine
I need some promises
but darlin’ your good intentions will do just fine

Just take it easy on me

(chorus)
Am I wasting my good love on you?
It’s hard enough being where I’ve been
And it leaves me sitting in a chair to stew
Am I wasting time on wasted love again?

Go ahead and make it up
Start it from where you left off
I think that I’ll be buying this one
If you can sell it to me
‘Cause it’s easier explaining it to myself
Than it is to the looking glass
And babe I’ve all but given up

Just take it easy on me

On and on it goes, breathing like a bellows
On a fire that’s only smoke

Sitting on an old grey bench
Weathered from the snow and rain
Weathered like my heart from pain
I sat up like a shot

‘Cause I’m leaving you

Haven’t I wasted enough good love on you?
It’s hard enough being where I’ve been
Well I ain’t sitting in this damn chair no more
Haven’t I wasted time on wasted love again?
I ain’t wasting time on wasted love again
I ain’t wasting time on wasted love again
