Fairview’s Zoe & Cloyd were trapped in their neighborhood by dozens of downed trees on their dirt road, and the main bridge to 15 homes was washed away by the raging waters of Cane Creek.
As Natalya Zoe shared in her own words about the song, “’Linemen’ was born during the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, inspired by words written by our neighbor and friend, Doug Norton. Our neighborhood was without power, water, cell service, or even road access after our bridge was washed away in the storm. The song carries an air of desperation and uncertainty, which we were all experiencing after Helene, and the song has received a strong response when we perform it live. Singing it feels both cathartic and sometimes triggering, but it has helped us to heal after such a tragic experience.”
