about

In the Summer of 2020, Zoe was sparked to write a collection of songs which soon became the start of her debut as Zoe the Storyteller. Each song reflects a message about the environment. The first single 'Rainbow' is out now.

"I wrote Rainbow originally as a school kid, so it’s like a co-write with my younger self, when I was totally in touch with that kid like spirit, that fearless outlook on life, bright eyed and full of hopes and dreams of being a singer when I grew up and also naturally in touch with nature. I changed the chorus, so it was more fitting with how rainbows became the image of Covid-19 and added a Dulcimer as a hats off to my greatest musical inspiration, Joni Mitchell and her love and deep care for the environment".

lyrics

Rainbow
12 July 2020 © written by Zoe the Storyteller

Today there’s a rainbow
the gold waits at the end
coins and diamonds and glitter
Today the clouds are candy floss
the moon is made of cheese
and the stars are people in the sky

I’m sitting on a swing
Playing in the park
and singing along with the bird songs
Jumping on the trampoline
making pictures out of clouds
and chasing the sun in the sky

Today I drew a picture of a rainbow
I put it in the window

I don’t know much
but I believe I know the world
and not knowing made me believe more
I’m sitting on a school bus
always wishing I could grow up
and I’m running down the hill back home

I can see the pictures of the rainbows
In the windows

Today there’s a rainstorm
biggest I’ve ever seen
empty streets and lamp lights glimmer
I’m clapping on the doorstep
getting lost in the forest
now the birds they sing louder

Can you see the pictures of the rainbows?
in the windows?

Wish I could look in your eyes with no worries,
no thoughts, no questions
Tell me why are, we in the mess we’re in? x2

Yesterday I’d forget be careless and naïve
cos not knowing made me feel better
It’s easier to carry on acting like there’s nothing wrong
cos no one wants to talk about it

I can’t forget the pictures of the rainbows
In the windows

Wish I could look in your eyes with no worries,
no thoughts, no questions
Tell me why are, we in the mess we’re in? x2
Tell me why are, we in the mess we’re in? x2
