Sam Sparro - Black and Gold
I am always so late with these things, but better late then never I always say! I guess it also doesn’t help that I don’t listen to the radio or any other sources of new music. What can I say…my method for finding music I like hasn’t failed me yet so I won’t be changing anytime soon.
At any rate, I’m really enjoying this track right now. The Australian born singer has this Gnarls Barkley-esque thing going on that I’m really feeling. It’s a great song that can’t be pigeon-holed into any particular genre.
Whatever genre everyone decides to stick it into, I’ll be sitting over here enjoying it. You do the same!

Sam Sparro - Black and Gold
If the fish swam out of the ocean
and grew legs and they started walking
and the apes climbed down from the trees
and grew tall and they started talking
and the stars fell out of the sky
and my tears rolled into the ocean
now i’m looking for a reason why
you even set my world into motion
‘cause if you’re not really here
then the stars don’t even matter
now i’m filled to the top with fear
but it’s all just a bunch of matter
‘cause if you’re not really here
then i don’t want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold
i looked up into the night sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but black
i feel a way of something beyond them
i don’t see what i can feel
if vision is the only validation
then most of my life isn’t real
‘cause if you’re not really here
then the stars don’t even matter
now i’m filled to the top with fear
but it’s all just a bunch of matter
‘cause if you’re not really here
then i don’t want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold
