Zero-7 - Distractions (live @ Lowlands 2006)

[Jennacide13004]

Your so beautiful Sia and your music is a constant reminder of the girl I lost because of myself. I have dreamed of writing music with artist like you.

[Shakeyj100]

He's using an Ebow at the beginning. Battery operated thingy which causes string to vibrate without touching it.

[ilackedtheheart]

Sia please marry me, your voice is angelic :)

[nat00ben06]

What's that thing Gil is using on the strings of his guitar to make that sound? Can someone tell me what it is many thanks!

[jeanhartely]

She might be smashed to the gills, but still, what a performance!

[serenadesea]

I love this video

[catjoyyoung]

Thanks for posting. I am going to see her next Tuesday here in Portland, OR. She has the most remarkable voice - an angel from heaven or hell.

[EdEditz]

@catjoyyoung Oh heaven, definitely :) I've been to see her in Utrecht in may 2010. She dedicated a song to me (that video is here: watch?v=q9WtiTGIIzg ) and she invited me backstage and I got to talk to her for 20 minutes. She still remembered me from the 2006 zero7 concert, isn't that amazing? We took some pictures together and she gave me a signed tour cd. She's so aproachable for her fans. She's the best ever!

[catjoyyoung]

@EdEditz Wow - so cool! I may hang around and see if I can find her. It is a very small venue. I am surprised she has not made a bigger name for herself over here. Just as well really, she has so much freedom to do what she wants this way.

[EdEditz]

@catjoyyoung Well, if it's a small venue then there is a chance she'll just come out from backstage after the concert, to meet her fans. That's what she used to do when she was still singing with Zero7. Good luck and I'm sure you'll have a great time. :)

[EdEditz]

@catjoyyoung Oh btw, I'm Raffy2006, who posted this video. Raffy2006 is my old channel. I now use EdEditz. I'd just thought I'd mention that to avoid cunfusion LOL :p

[dsim200000]

@EdEditz lol

[momonwilson]

I love the guy smoking whiel he is playing the guitar..

[patmuck]

sat outside in glorious sunshine smokin a nice green stick. Great festival

[bludklit]

When is she going to come back to Australia for a tour, she is the one artist you can not miss..

[elladee]

Holy shyte, she's just... she's so... I'm speechless.

[Bebop61286]

Who is the guy on the keyboard, with the smoke hanging out

[gd34n]

i would marry her in a heartbeat...

[EdEditz]

@gd34n Well, I'm sorry for you but she's more into girls I do believe ;)

[gd34n]

@EdEditz ahhhhhh for fuck sakes... is not the first time this happens to me!!!!!

[EdEditz]

@gd34n Hahaha I know man. Happened to me few times too :)

[shawniebaby83]

wow I know that was cool...I'd love to see her live

[EdEditz]

@shawniebaby83 Sia is great live. And if you contact her tourmanager before you go the concert, there's a big chance you can meet her.

I saw her in Utrecht (NL) last may. She dedicated 'Little Black Sandals' to me.

I filmed it too luckily: watch?v=q9WtiTGIIzg

[shawniebaby83]

@EdEditz wow im supposed to be visiting London next year...hopefully I'll get lucky. I think she was in NY once but that was a while ago. idk how often she frequent the states

[EdEditz]

@shawniebaby83 She lives in the states now so you must be able to go see her at some point. She just did a tour in Australia I believe so I'm guessing a tour in the states won't be long. Good luck. I hope you get to see her.:)

[theenigmajjames]

@shawniebaby83 She was living in NY for awhile but Im pretty sure she lives in Los Angeles now

[paddycmj]

@EdEditz Ya! How do you contact her tour manager? I live in Ireland and have never had the privilege of seeing her live but whenever shes in Europe next I'm soo there!!! If she ever comes again :-(

[EdEditz]

@paddycmj You should be able to get the email address of her manager if you go the the forum on her website siamusic . net and just ask if you can meet Sia after a specific concert. The manager will arange things and give you the email of the tour manager. That's how I did it, but I had seen sia before so she kinda knows who I am. But she's awesome with fans so persevere and it'll work. Good luck! :)

[EdEditz]

@shawniebaby83 Sia just announced a new US tour. The 'We Are Born Tour'. The dates are on her website siamusic . net

[shawniebaby83]

@EdEditz thanx a mil...gotta check her out!!!

[shawniebaby83]

her voice and range is amazing...absolute beauty

[EdEditz]

@shawniebaby83 I once hugged and kissed her :)

Sia is awesome!!

Eddy aka Raffy2006

[felipeospina86]

i think i had an orgasm

[lindaroque0]

I saw her in Portugal but at the time she looks alive not like she looks in this concert! When i saw her she looks thinner, and less drunk.

[jeraphillips]

This song reminds me of when I wanted marry my husband. Her voice is amazing and so soulful. You can almost feel it and it send chills all over me.

[jeustor]

Ohhh how very talented they are......ohhh what a beautiful voice she has....the lovely Sia...

[budreblu]

I would love to get the symbol of the alien with the razor mouth on a T-shirt. Does anyone know what it is and if I can get it?

[bonoschouten]

@budreblu It's the Lowlands symbol. You can easily get it on a shirt when you're at the festival in Holland!

[augustjohnnycrashed]

Spinning, Distractions, Warm Sound, Home, Destiny of course, Simple things, Loved the dynamic between Noah and the Girls, Tina does this amazing acoustic version of Home on KCRW

[maurius]

still one of the best concerts I ever saw @ LL

[moshebsh]

אחד הצלילים המדהימים ששמעתי

[EddyBergman]

@moshebsh okaaaaay. ?

:-)

[mayadelacey]

Anyone know where I can find a clean image of the razor blade monster? I want.

Or maybe someone can tell me how to capture a still of it from this video.

I'm retarded, btw.

I love this.

[razorbladekisses101]

Fuck!! This version makes me cry every time!!..Oh the power of Sia..So much feeling and so much power.

[augustjohnnycrashed]

This is one of the best songs ever, I miss the original band, Z7 is one of my biggest influences as a musician.

Furious Sunshine vocalist / guitar of "Mind Fuck"

[neglectedurchin]

@augustjohnnycrashed really? what are your favz from zero 7?

[shawniebaby83]

just beautiful....

[bek2134944]

Sia, you are an angel from Heaven.

[kanella26]

performance... voice..... sound.....

Really cool!

[sg0503]

That's what I call "Performance" at it's best !

[bluesman368]

Why haven't I heard of them before. It took a Lincoln ad using her version of "under the milky way tonight" to find Sia,. What a freaking VOICE!

[agarves]

My god, what a performance...

[anneh87]

speech-less...

[nprbiz]

OMG - The only thing you can do is..., play it again.

[poguish]

SHIVERS, SHIVERS, SHIVERS

[kisha712]

Everytime I listen her songs, my nerve will keep shivering!!! It's absolutely creepy, sensitive and stunning......

[metalstormsoldier]

Sia, I think that i love you.

[montequim]

just amazing

[cgmandros]

Her voice is like melting chocolate, so sensual and expressive!

[jet2let]

incredible and moving -- a performance to treasure

[563032]

VENGAN A CHILE POR LA CHUCHA

[7aritana7]

She is just wonderful.. The voice is just... wow... Great performance even though most of my friends tell me she doesn't sing but emits noises. This song is for the feeling... that's all!!! WOW

[OfficialNickNames]

emits noises??... next time ask them what the heck that even means !!!?!!

[adambarrie]

Capturing to say the least.

[stu19855]

I love this song, and I love Zero 7. This song just chills me out to the max, the harmonies are amazing! Hoping to go see them in London!

[badbeers]

Can't get over how good this is.

[axolotl84]

truly wonderful

[louiseduvee]

What a full sound she has, very Bessie Smith.

[hachiman2012]

Her voice sends shivers up my spine...incredible.

[Lanlordcan]

same here

[petesf2]

@hachiman2012 It makes the hair on my neck stand up!

[55Sky21]

Sia's voice is so strong..

amazing:)

[55Sky21]

anyone has this in mp3 format? or any other live version ?

[bigalrei]

another version comes in sia - 2007 - lady croissant

[sealines41]

Sorry not good enough for Sia and 07, letting it go a Little with her spaced out

[andydanskine]

one of the most powerful songs i have ever heard has some great memories for me imagine being told for the first time someone loves you by them singing this to you

thanks for the memories M x

[EdEditz]

Oh that sounds so cool!!

Thanks. :)

[doodlefizz]

Can't get over how much Sia I have watched this last week alone... study time is filled with the sound of Sia.... I am honestly blown away with her voice!

[EdEditz]

Yep she has that effect on people =]

I'm gonna see her in april yay!!

[PennyMichelle]

i'm so in love with sia right now, getting to know the older stuff, and i've listened to this about 200 times today, god i love it...goosebumps. i hope to see her live soon!

[NoSheep2]

oops! meant to click the good thumb!

[SorrowNight]

whoops I just clicked the good thumb

[lmmurphy20]

I could watch this all day

[Joviantt]

better than sex!

[EdEditz]

Well, I wouldn't go that far but it's pretty damn close. -___^

[ogenmatic]

@Joviantt ...perhaps you're doing it wrong?

[cigskill51]

Love her and her music , but I have to say her keyboard player thinks he looks really

cool with that cigarette hanging out of his

mouth WRONG LOL it makes him look stupid !!!

[EddyBergman]

Haha yeah, and even every smoker know that it's a damn nuisance do play with a cigarette hanging there. Smoke just gets in your eyes.

[sheena987654]

I think the cigarette looks damn cool.

[IndieRockerJadiee]

I think he looks pretty damn sexy. ;)

[jenniereynnie]

god she is amazing. i get chills listening to her

[timbawundakin]

Fuckin magic. When she sings 'i love u' it really chokes u up. Goosepimples an all. Amazin.

[pdoggy08]

i love them.i love her but i cant understand half the things she is saying!!!!HELP!!!!

[leticiasal]

it was her best performance with this song!!!

increrable...

[memorystop]

This song, along with her performance, draws you in, similar to the way Pink Floyd could draw in an audience. There are no words to describe how incredible that is. Simply out of this world.

[iceonaboy]

Zero 7 are  fuckin superb and Sia is absolutely amazing, what a talent!

[sporkdow]

she looks so drugged up aha.

amazing singer though.

[SparkyDayna]

She does not look "drugged up", you ass. Sia FEELS the music, her songs have MEANING (as opposed to mainstream bullshit that is just some empty rime).

So, 'sporkdow', if she seems "drugged up" to you, it's probably because she LOSES herself in her music... Wrap your brain around that, if u can... But you are correct on one thing, Sia is amazing.

[sporkdow]

alright mate, calm down? haha.

i wasnt meaning it offensively, fair play if she is.

[7Spronge]

he said "looks" , not she "is" drugged up , don't make such a big deal about it dude

it's just how he sees it , would be a boring world right , if we all had the same opinions and vieuws

[SparkyDayna]

...and I also said "does not look 'drugged up' ", and "seems 'drugged up' ". I never said IS ! I am not making a big deal, just informing sporkdow on why some people look that way. Opinions are good, as long as they don't imply something mean. That's all.

[bubballoo]

ive just realised...she's lost alot of weight

i saw her last week at shepeards bush.

[EddyBergman]

A lot? She was never that big was she?

[bubballoo]

well she werent fat but i mean

i just watched this video of her on youtube from 4 years ago

on kcrw...shes definatley lost weight.

[EddyBergman]

Oh I see. Yeah I think you're right there.

[bucanadian]

in one of her interviews she talks about how the song dont bring me down is about coming off e, so shes done e and could have been smokin some rock b4 that performance u cant get all defensive if you dont know, but either way she rules

[bubballoo]

of course she rules!

=D

[vaness78390]

Une de mes versions préférées de Distractions

J'adore cette fille , et cette musique des Zero seven...ce groupe déchire

[EddyBergman]

Thank you, I love Sia too. She's such a nice warm person. You can't help but like her.

And zero7's music is the BEST!

[WesRunton]

I need to catch up on zero7's latest.

They need to channel Floyd more, its their best stuff.

[sayaka897]

I can't believe the guy on the keyboards is smoking during the performance. Sia's amazing!

[oblongwieght]

that last note that she hits is Unreal.

one hell of a singer.

[gggnarly]

cheers to that huh

[Mmmaartje]

Sia for president!

[taniwha9]

Uh, prime minister?

[tedus91]

too right!

[augustjohnnycrashed]

dig this heavy version, nice to hear a little lead guitar, so where the hell is noah?

[DistractedVoice]

I LOOOVE YOU <3

[pcpusher]

This show actualy was the best I saw @ Lowlands 2006

[miepmuismat]

yeah baby, i was there! :)

[ne6tomani4ko]

beautiful

[onemorph]

great song fantastic singer

[butterflymatron]

can someone please tell me who sings the song from Zero 7 "home"? Is it the same girl as Sia? How many lead female singers has this band had? btw i love this band i just found it today by accident

[EddyBergman]

The song 'Home'is sung by Tina Dico, a Danish singer. Zero7 has had 3 female singers namely: Sophie Barker (who sings Destiny for instance), Tina Dico and Sia Furler. Sia is the only of those three who sang on 'The Garden' (zero7's latest CD). She's not gonna be on the 4th album due to solo work.

Eddy (Raffy2006)

[EddyBergman]

correction: Destiny is sung by Sia too.

[pointyfingers]

real.

[islandgurl323]

This shit should be winning awards!!!

[EddyBergman]

I agree. The awards always seem to go to mainstream shite.

[EddyBergman]

Pretty awesome, isn't it? :-)

I can give you a list of the best sites to use for this if you PM me your email address.

[EddyBergman]

Oh the stripe after vixy, should be a dot of course.

[pierbert]

Does anyone know where to find this performance on audio? I love Sia, but I don't like the version on Lady Croissant. This performance is the best live or studio track I've ever heard by Sia.

[EddyBergman]

You can download the whole video or just the audio using vixy-net. Just copy the u r l into the appropriate place on that site and select what you want. Job's a fish!!

[pierbert]

OMG! Thank you so much!!! I never knew you could do things like that!

[teya18]

Actually this isn't from Lady Croissant but it's very very good version!!!!

Thanks Eddy for posting it :D

x

[EddyBergman]

You're very welcome Teya. :D

[freckles1978]

OHHHHHHHHHHH i'm dying here!!! this is from Lady Croissant!!!! :dies:

Thanks so much for this! i totally adore Sia, but it's very impossible that she come to visit Chile someday :(

Oh, that's so sad :(

But i love her anyway!!!

Thanks & you're so lucky!!!

[Legolas310]

amazing. to amazing...such a lucky couple!!! >.<

[feyth85]

Awesome ;) Thanks for adding the dedication, Eddy!! :)

[raffy2006]

You're welcome. :) It's such a shame we missed that one. Ah well, there'll be others.
