Zero 7 Feat. Sia - Distractions (The Big Chill Festival 2001)

[@lovers_cult]

I will never stop dreaming a about a Zero 7 ft Sia comeback

[@majordx]

For a second I thought it was happening. 😔

[@matt_pacheco_music]

I'll be with you always and forever

[@mmdl9297]

Yes please!!!

[@raulbluesman9463]

Yes please!

[@raulbluesman9463]

I was under the impression that this was a new song there for a sec

[@dougquaid]

I miss the old Sia!

[@trespire]

SIA has the voice of a seasoned Blues singer.

[@russky68]

She’s good at what she does but it’s through the nose… like John Turrell.. Blues singer?😂

[@jenniferholson3418]

She doesn't typically sing through her nose. She sounds more jazzy than blues. The various genres of music that she sings is what makes me admire her the most. You know it's her, and yet her persona is so different. Amazing singer/song writer. Very under-rated.

[@russky68]

@@jenniferholson3418 I think I know.. I auditioned her for Jamiroquai.. Beverley Knight was eventually selected..

How can 2001 be 20 years ago? I can still remember buying the simple things cd when it first came out.

[@michaelburke7978]

Time goes way too fast :(

[@jaykong1128]

REMEMBER THAT! I remember it was the same year waking life came out.....I really was a DIFFERENT person back then holy smokes.

[@livequality4578]

For me, it was seeing the Destiny video on MTV[insert number here] before they started airing nothing but [insert garbage reality show here] all day everyday. Was amazed to the core.

[@emilycampbell5798]

I know. Ah music was my life blood then. The excitement of a new CD playing it until it was scratched to death. The rush to replace it but not have the heart to throw out the original. Later on I remember buying two of the same so one was to play, one to collect for just me.

[@theycallmeken]

I feel that!

[@milestonowhere]

How beautiful she was in her raw state before being swallowed by the music business.

[@sophierabbit1234]

Nailed it x

Impossible to not love Sia for the incredible contribution she gave to Zero 7. Always hoping for a comeback ❤

[@casanafranca]

SIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@fredbarrett1]

I think I’m addicted to this performance 🔥🔥🔥

[@Wigler40]

The arrangement and Sia's voice is perfection.

[@RaptorV1USA]

I went to a KCRW benefit show at the (RIP) Universal Amphitheater..JAYsus! like 20+y ago FFS.. Beck came up to do a cpl songs and after he did 1, Sia walked out and of course the place went nuts, they did a cpl more and were fan freekin-tastic together, great chemistry, they both killed it. I was in the after-party and saw her standing to one side talking to a few people. I waited for a chance then went over with my wife and introduced ourselves and she was super sweet, friendly, and gracious, we chatted with her for a few min. thanked her for her incredible performance with Beck and for the hours literally of happy music a bunch of my MTN biker buddies and i had been enjoying for months as the Zero 7 CD was on continual loop in our shuttle truck back in those days. We'd all by then fallen a li'l bit in love with her just from listening to her sing to us regularly, so it was fantastic to be the first of us to actually see and then meet her in person and thank her for being her and wish her the best.... That was a very good night, & one of the best shows ever.

[@claudiacarlson30]

Hi! I really liked your story! 😊 There is NOTHING like Sia with Zero7! They are on the rotation of really good music my boss plays at the resale shop where I,ve worked for a long time now. You were so lucky to see her. Watching her on video is so great, her sweet face and personality and incredible singing just shine, with the other singers and the band is fantastic! I wish current fans of Sia could watch the videos from back then. I adore her! ☮

[@hyperbolic-time-chamber-strand]

Zero 7 + Sia = Perfection

[@Bjaardker]

This was the peak of that magical period in time for Chill music. Thank you for sharing this.

[@johnbullen9195]

Tender, I'm blue so blue. She hits hard I'm bruised.

[@DragoshHits]

Zero 7, as a band, deserved more! RESPECT!

[@hellosunshine2826]

seriously I shed a tear EVERY time

[@bangitsmom6855]

Yes!

[@alexgolovchenko3791]

I just Love Sia so much. She speaks to me in my waking moments and in my dreams. I am grateful to her for her music, for her words. ❤

[@FMQ-Tech]

Gosh… Sia is so talented… and the way she always childishly smiles… I can safely say I’ve been in love since the first time I discovered her 20 years ago.

[@getthoseskills4451]

A timeless classic. Love Zero 7 and other UK trip hop related acts like Massive Attack, Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, Morcheeba, Tricky, Allflaws

[@israellima2412]

These harmonies, every layer, every melody, every feeling, everything in "Simple Things" and "When it Falls" albums means a lot to me. Love it all.

[@angelshoneymoon]

this video has drastically altered my brain chemistry

[@bluewavehawaii]

So glad we got to see Zero 7 with Sia, José González, and all the other wonderful musicians - years ago (2006?) in a tiny Boston club. What a dream! Still one of my absolute favorites!

[@jtsholtod.79]

Saw them in Chicago that same year, 2006. It was incredible. I had just moved to the Midwest alone a week prior, yet it felt so comforting being around Zero 7 "family" there.

[@chrisna9861]

Gonzalez is great. Zero7 has an act for picking great vocalists and musicians

[@flynnconolly9006]

That must've been the best gig ever!

First time I heard Sia was this track and I had no idea who or what it was - but just had the line I only make jokes to distract myself from the truth....eventually found out the band and the singer and have been a massive fan ever since, lucky enough to see her perform in person in Oxford a few years ago, probably the best live gig I have ever seen.

[@brianm5416]

Yeah, this was her introduction to most of us. Unbelievable album, still holds its own to this day.

[@sfc282d]

@@brianm5416 indeed…my all time fave female singer …although much of her ‘newer’ stuff isn’t a patch on her earlier output

[@brianm5416]

I agree 100%, but it’s alright. At least we’ve got these memories to hold onto.

[@chrisna9861]

I agree when Sia was with Zero7 I knew they had a gem. Her voice with the telent of zero7 behind her was the perfect recipe for quality music.

Im a Barker guy for sure. Sia is too cool for school. thats fine. well be fine with out her too.

[@jaykong1128]

@@jemenfous9343 Yeah, contrast her image then and now. that whole gimmick of covering her face with wild larger than life bows in her hair and campy apparel was childish and made her look desperate for a unique and exciting pop impression. Like gwen stafani in some ways. And the music was even worse imo. Just seemed to me like she was catering to the appeal of the masses while trying to maintain a mysterious and animated appearance. Dosent want to be a celebrity? please, then neither does lady ga ga, right?

I understand everyone's comments it's been, maybe 20 years since I first heard Zero 7 and wow, Sia was just incredible. I think the guys that started the band rooked her out of money. Not knowing that she was the golden goose or maybe they did and didn't care. Sorry Sophie and Tina don't cut it. What you got or we got from her and them is it.
