Biography

Zita Swoon is a Belgian indie rock group. They entered the music scene of Antwerp in 1993, still under the name A Beatband with the EP Jintro Travels The Word In A Skirt. The group is typical of the music scene in Antwerp, with members playing in numerous other groups. Singer, musician and composer Stef Kamil Carlens founded the group together with Aarich Jespers and also played in dEUS. The same group released Everyday I Wear A Greasy Black Feather On My Hat under the name Moondog Jr. in 1995. Shortly thereafter they encountered legal trouble over the name Moondog with Louis T. Hardin, and changed it to Zita Swoon (Zita = intense, Swoon = desire). The success of this album was awarded with invitations to the Lowlands, Pinkpop and Rock Werchter festivals. The same year they also appeared live on MTV in Most Wanted with Michael Blair. Their first appearance in the US was at the South by Southwest festival in 1998. Zita Swoon has played in New York, the Belgian Rock Werchter festival, the Holland Festival, as well as in Germany. In early 1999 their work was recognized by the Flemish government with a grant of 1.5 million Francs and the title Cultural Ambassador of Flanders (a title previously awarded to DAAU and dEUS). In 2009 Stef Kamil Carlens participated with Lexus Concert, a 'hybrid' concert where Stef does a crossover concert at Klara festival with a musician from a totally different style and background. The winner of Lexus concert wins a private try out concert on board a new Lexus RX 450h.

LYRICS

30 days is long enough
So baby I won't call you anymore
I wish you'd rush into my arms
But every wish I wish is bound to do me harm
The phone it rang around half past one
And then I pull the plug out of the wall
The conversations that I have
They don't amount to nothing
Except for the ugly thoughts I have

The doorbell rang around half past two
And when I walk back inside my day was through
I think I slept all afternoon
And when I woke at night the moon was full
The neon flashing in the streets
And then I walk through town to a lazy beat
I take the phone off of my ears
Cause the music don't sooth me
It just makes me bleed

I wonder if I'm done with thinking
This prison room will be my grave
But now I'm all alone and drinking
Although I surely lost the taste

In the morning when I woke
I heard a noisy television host
I switch the man out of my room
Cause the games they don't thrill me
They just make me blue
The window's open
The curtain flies
I see the ghost of you before my eyes
I shiver as I turn away
I see the phone is waiting
I dial and I pray
