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

I feel alive in the city and I love my friend
I feel alive and it feels so good
It seems like I never will be blue again

I shake my head and I close my eyes

I concentrate on my lucky stars

I feel alive in the city and I love my friend

I feel alive in the city and I love my friend



I feel alive in the city though it's cold and grey

We give each other the best we have

She loves my kisses and I love her cat

I shake my head and I close my eyes

I send a little prayer to my lucky stars

I feel alive in the city and I love my friend

I feel alive in the city and I love my friend



Feel like making my guitar and tell her that I don't pretend

Feel like the whole world trembles and I love the sounds

The cars are passing, the lights are flashing, it's a joyful town

I feel alive in the city

I feel alive in the city

I feel alive in the city



I remember the days that were mucky and grey

When the jokes weren't funny and the melancholy wouldn't go away

When the wine wasn't red and the skies weren't blue

When the writers were dull and not a soul around that would see you through

But I'm alive in the city



I feel alive in the city and I love my friend

It's spooky when I think of what I worried about

It seems so unreal now that I have no doubts

I put my hands on her hips and I close my eyes

I move on over to my lucky stars

I feel alive in the city and I love my friend

I feel alive in the city and I love my friend
