“Lost” by Zola Jesus – A Song Feature

 

     Even after the percussion turns powerful and tribal and even while the samplings of the Slovenian folk choir bring an elegance into “Lost,” the voice of Zola Jesus punches through the darkness and controls the listener’s attention. The single is from her album “Arkhon,” which is due for release on May 20th, 2022, via Sacred Bones.
 
     Zola Jesus is Nika Roza Danilova, who was born in Phoenix, Arizona, but her parents moved the family to a rural area in northern Wisconsin while she was young. While talking about “Lost,” she said:
   “It’s true. Everyone I know is lost. Lost hope, lost future, lost present, lost planet. There is a collective disillusionment of our burning potential. As we stray further from nature, we drift from ourselves. ‘Lost’ is a sigil to re-discover our coordinates and claim a new path.”

Lyrics of “Lost” by Zola Jesus

In my woods I form a part

To be spoken both must start

Ask for all your wisdom here

Give me space to disappear

 

Everyone I know is lost

Flare gone missing, turning dark

We keep walking through the weeds

Hoping for a quick release

 

In my woods I find a spot

To forsake all that I've got

Recombine into the leaves

Stick around and then we'll see

 

Everyone I know is lost

Flare gone missing, turning dark

We keep walking through the weeds

Hoping for a quick release

 

Everyone I know is lost

Flare gone missing, turning dark

We keep walking through the weeds

Hoping for a quick release

 

In my woods I find a spot

To forsake all that I've got

Recombine into the leaves

Stick around and then we'll see
