Zero 7 "Swing"

KCRW favorites Zero 7 reinvent themselves with each new release and Yeah Ghost is no exception. We'll hear their new songs as they make a much anticipated return to Los Angeles to perform on Morning Becomes Eclectic.

[@jarreduerro]

2022, I still watch this maybe twice a month. Magical. Zero7 is my favorite

[@BlueBell28]

2024 still one of my favorite songs.

[@basimbambaataa]

I heard this song at work one day a couple of years ago and I wrote down the lyrics and found the song that day and have loved it ever since. This live performance is better than the album version, to me. The ad-libs and harmonies brought more magic to the song.

[@dirtydiego]

KCRW really had a major influence on the music I listen to today. Zero 7 on MBE... could not get better than this.

[@zvikaso]

2024. Zero 7 is my fav band by far. Has been for 20 years.

[@petrholusa5855]

Can't believe it's almost 10 years of this album! Damn! I miss these Zero 7 projects.

[@zafere6141]

Nobody talks about the backvocal girls' voice. She brings amazing vibe to the song.

[@SonofSamhein]

I concur: I have been watching this video, since it was first released; and, she is the performance's seasoning :0).

[@josemirizarryrodriguez8456]

⁠@@SonofSamheinwho is she?

[@SonofSamhein]

@@josemirizarryrodriguez8456 Not sure of who she is, truthfully: I am usually pretty hip to their session Singers...?? Unfortunately, not her:she fits in well, with their sound ...

[@gavinbishop4147]

Olivia Chaney has a heart full of soul.

[@andybud1983]

Absolutely wonderful performance!

[@BNL07604]

Her voice is so beautiful!

[@JerDog1984]

Favourite song of 2009 - Can't stop listening to it - What an awesome voice! What an awesome group!

[@mysticalwizardry]

Congratulations if you watching you have fantastic taste in music 🎉😊

[@fmorig67]

see how lucky I am, just discovered this zero 7 pearl. awsome.

[@bellona6356]

Olivia Chaney is exquisite. I love this so much more then the album version.

[@kickinrocks6055]

Wicked good. She sounds like an Irish siren. I imagine her as a character luring sailors to their doom in some mystic story.

[@rossbyers1]

So so beautiful.... that tears are running down my cheeks. The unwavering dedication of the musicians playing instruments to the mesmerising vocals has truly moved me. Perfection.

[@Bokmoh]

OMFG!!! I remember seeing this performed live in Montreal, and I cried like a baby. The recording never quite did it for me again, but this video brought me back to that moment, and damn those tears came. Zero 7 is divine

[@kickinrocks6055]

You saw this song, with this singer live? I'm jealous.

[@JSCote]

I was there, great evening... apart from the two guys behind me who where such fans that they talked about import versions of some singles all night long instead of listening.....

[@geneaoforum]

My nephew sent this to me tday !!! The PERFECT Bday present!!!! 💋💋💋 morning became Dawn eclectic.. TH Uuuuuuuu KCRW & Judah G up coming WONDER !i 💛U !

[@christopherschmidt2321]

This is just the greatest shit ever! Seeing them in complete raw form.

[@MistressGlowWorm]

Christopher Schmidt Le sigh. I has a sad because it's not on iTunes.

[@jonnisalimi1763]

just 115k views? that's just sad. brilliant stuff!!!

[@roderickstarns3004]

beautiful

[@crashdoll91]

I absolutely love this song!

[@JerDog1984]

Hmmm still my favourite song 1 year on.. Love Zero 7!

[@MistressGlowWorm]

Best version!

[@jonsalter6404]

Absolutely adore this singer!

[@jamercado]

lovely!

[@Angeladorian]

i swear i listen to this song 20 times or so a day.

[@vikramk123]

She is playing a Harmonium :)

[@saxywale2]

beautiful.

[@ruthjtube]

I can't stop singing to this live version! Loving the voice so much!

[@HeavyProfessor]

Shazammed this song a few weeks ago while shopping in Wegman's. It's nice.

[@HeavyProfessor]

Still good

[@parcfelixer]

Great version. Thank you KCRW for the recording!

[@yellowspace]

Such a beautiful song

[@robertlasater2609]

Fuckin LOVE this band

[@MistressGlowWorm]

Let's get this version on iTunes. Now would be a good time!!?

[@bcarroll7317]

Reminds me of lovely Emma K in 2005, with the green eyes you could lose yourself in.

[@swissmissblackburn]

What an amazing voice!!! Gives me chills!

[@BigAntVideo]

Cant believe this hasnt been used in a film

[@aldillogori]

Truly amazing. pure beauty.

[@colin3108]

I really dig this version

[@rezro30]

Beautiful

[@trevoryoung4389]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@JerDog1984]

Yes it is! Well thank you for confirming that! It has been driving me mad!!!!!!!!!! I even looked on Binki's facebook wall and people are leaving comments saying how good she is in Swing... Jeez, what a task

[@lucaswife]

Binki Shapiro was the vocalist for Swing on the album. I prefer the lower range myself, but this version is interesting & pretty.

[@SonofSamhein]

I concur with your assessment, across the board; and, was thinking the exact, same thing, when I'd just purchased the CD, and they'd just dropped this specific version...CHEERS :0)...

[@altwist42]

loving this song. words seem.. to close to home,. iv bin jamming around with this tune on the double bass, elc folk grooovie. always got time for zero 7

[@bkordel]

wow. i'm in love with this song

[@widmoxP]

The singer is Olivia Chaney.

[@firestar23]

song is just beautiful

[@rembells]

bliss

[@dogonaleash]

HOLY SHIT! finally a new video and its awesome!!!

[@RottenRalphDuval]

Superb!

[@Bartas122]

The best version of "Swing" and best Zero 7's tune in my opinion. I'm sad that it's impossible to find this version of track on Zero 7's albums.

[@TheRoxyroux]

so sweet

[@mauromauro7082]

great song )

[@ipTimezone]

Great song !

[@mauromauro7082]

The perfect mood :)

[@Breca]

Olivia Chaney sings *Waxwing* (The Gladstone, 15th July 2010)

[@03hobie]

Binki Shapiro is the lead vocalist on the album version of this song

[@unclebarry311]

Me either, this is what Life is all about!

[@kickinrocks6055]

The "I will keep you down", near the end, is haunting.

[@NikilRaja]

Wow just beautiful... wow

[@afk4lfe]

Love this. Would to jam.

[@MarijuanaGood4U]

I'd like to see the 'Binki Shapiro' live version of this amazing song.

[@grudgede]

KCRW is doing great stuff! Zero 7 too ;-)

[@TheCimebianche]

Bravi!

[@itthiponmorphee1916]

nice.

[@atribecalledjudah5436]

Last time I saw this unhappily married with two beautiful children. Now I’m nothing.

[@gongli100]

FAntastic I bought the cd & was totally disappointed that Olivia wasn't on the cd What were they thinking !!!!!!!!!!!

[@mitchellmaciorski]

It could be that this vocalist has a different range than the recording vocalist.

[@plano130]

Interesting. Slightly higher key than the recorded version.

[@JerDog1984]

@20yearsofhell Olivia Chaney.. What a beaut

[@fenecus2279]

Обожаю💜

[@nubbs1320]

i don't like people who don't like this song

[@OekologiskSmoer]

No Sophie Baker is not with Zero 7 on this tour. This singer is called Olivia Chaney. Great vokal og bringing some new energy to the older Zero 7 tracks aswell.

[@grudgede]

Great stuff! Much more better than on the CD!

[@grudgede]

@jamontoastst: Yeah! You're absolutely right!

[@maszlagma]

@gongli100 She was singing in the song "Pop Art Blue". But yeah she should have sung this song....

[@JerDog1984]

@gongli100 Both singers are flawless and it's a struggle picking which one to listen too! Guess I'll just jam both..

[@nat00ben06]

It seems that England is still the best place for new music. After all these years and all these trys. There are and have been exceptions tho.

[@GiorgioDiMartino]

[@JerDog1984]

@alexgfbatista Binki Shapiro sings the album version.. Makes me goosebuymp a li'l

[@mathieuemi666]

@mar33web He played it with Dave Brubeck. There are some videos on KZbin. He's playing alto sax

[@mathieuemi666]

@mar33web BTW, a good 5/4 example would be "Take Five" from Paul Desmond

[@JerDog1984]

I am wrong! The singer is Binki Shapiro..

[@lettucefire]

Love it but personally i LOVE the binki version better. Having said that i might be slightly little joy biased.

[@HNeferPitouH]

What do they love?

[@xoanprego2275]

Hi! I'm just looking for an older Zero7's performance at kcrw (morning becomes eclectic, 2004). There were some songs about the album" When it falls", I think, performed by Sia and Tina Dico. Can anyone tell me where can I get those videos? Thanks

[@vijaywathore5482]

ɷɷ Heeyy Friendz I Have F0und W0rikingg Online Hacck visitttt : - t.co/LsWlQXz5EV

[@dangraff9]

@jamontoastst hahahaha well said!

[@RichiJunghans]

👌🏼🤩😍🥰🫠❤️‍🔥💯🔥🔥🔥

[@ukaniko]

@alexgfbatista Sia is not the person singing this song on the album. In fact, I don't think she appears on Yeah Ghost at all :(

[@freetibet84]

what instrument is the singer playing, is that some type of accordion?? thanx.

[@cheeseUout]

nice nice! too bad the singing in this live version is much better than the recording. There's much more...emotion in this one

[@ArthrUK]

:)

[@Fullbatteri]

I Like You.

[@mary-annhelbig3438]

Hi! Does anyone find or know the piano notes (accordion, Single notes)? I search and search, so far unsuccessful.

[@davidneuman7550]

Can anyone name all of the other musicians playing please, besides Olivia Chaney? (who is fantastic of course)

[@TheAbhinavjunwal]

Is that really a harmonium ?

[@MistressGlowWorm]

abhinav junwal Yes it is. Isn't it magnificent? 💕

[@Heycountryboy07]

it's a melodeon (traditional type...)

[@20yearsofhell]

who's the girl on the squeezebox?! i like her!

[@anorak103]

What a strange editing decision to show the keyboard player fiddling with his headphones for the first line and a half of the vocals when he's not even playing - instead of letting us see, for example, the singer?!

[@SuperPussyFinger]

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Superb observation.

[@zafere6141]

What's that instrument that the singer plays? Does anybody know?

[@hamburglermcdonald7078]

It's an accordion I think. Not to sure

[@rakooga]

Zafer ZEREN It's an Indian harmonium.

[@zafere6141]

Cool, thank you.
