Black & Gold Lyrics

[@sacredstarlight9446]

I love these little obscure songs from the 2000s so many untouched bops that tiktok hasn't ruined... yet

[@KidBuuBuu1214]

Keyword "yet". I sure hope they don't find this

[@asmamohammed5659]

Please that all i ask for tiktok to get get a hold of this gold dust song. Like let me enjoy and other humans who enjoy good music and going back to songs that were good and not from some weird trend on that godforsaken app ... ok im done

[@peterveres8058]

obscure lol. This shit was almost popular back then... lot of radios played it

[@merylmontgomery9932]

Shhhhhh! Not so loud! The tiktokers will hear you!

[@DarienSchatz]

[@jackhurley8761]

Loved this first when I was 8 I’m 23 now and here I am, what a tune!

[@jlxoxj146]

[@chaeryria]

IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR SO LONG I SEARCHED UP "And the tears fall into the ocean" and this popped up its a LIFE SAVER !!

[@pip-pip5029]

Glad you found it :)

[@Ignatowskic64]

"If vision is the only validation, then most of my life isn't real." - Blew me right out of my mind.

[@iconsonscreen7291]

Almost 2024 and this song still brings out the best of me! The most amazing song about God! Rumi in today's age! I love love this song!

[@booshank2327]

Imo one of the rare great pop songs of the last couple of decades. A shimmering gem amongst piles of garbage. Man made existentialism into a catchy, cool song which went over most people's heads because they only listened to the chorus. Released at the same time I got my very first job as a delivery driver, so heard it a lot back then, came here to appreciate and reminisce :)

[@dreday8680]

Exactly!

[@figotlatenby588]

when I got my 1st phone this was he 1st song I dl.

[@abdul9268]

Diamond in the rough

[@iconsonscreen7291]

The first moment i heard this song i was a little girl. And i still come back to this song even today at 28 years old. This is one of the most perfect songs ever made!

[@albertstephenson8830]

You said it perfectly. Deep lyrics and TRUE

[@esther4482]

what a lyrical genius. Great pen…doesn’t even feel like this song is 10 years+ old because I play it like 100 times every single year. Wish it was everywhere like it was back in ‘08-09

[@Indyjo11]

I first heard this song when I was in year 2 and since then I have forgotten about it but every couple of years it reappears in my head

[@emb_78]

Indy brooo me too

[@2893mel]

The song starts so quiet and subtly I actually got scared when he started singing

[@KimNguyen-cx4ev]

OMG!!! I looooovvveeeee this song! 🎵 It gives me that nostalgic feeling 🤩🤩

[@barbier5488]

I absolutely Love this song..This is real music!

[@ArgentoGaming]

This song connects with me on a spiritual level. To me, it encapsulates how I feel towards the person I love. I wouldn't go on living without them in this universe.

[@iconsonscreen7291]

To me it talks about existence and God! It's like a modern Rumi.

[@yellow_daffodil5689]

Yeah, "It's all just a bunch of matter"

[@trininiela]

I freaking love his smooth strong voice & this song! ♡

[@kattherandom2633]

This song played on the radio in my job today, so I decided to revisit the song! I was around 3 years old when this came out, the amount of nostalgia I feel listening to this is surreal

[@cherry_blossom5372]

Fun fact, this was the first song I heard not long after I was born. No wonder I love it so much.

[@aaliyahspencer5376]

I like how it was playing in the movie in Obsessed

[@paulkurowski6484]

[@sodaspider130]

To me, this song is a person questioning the existence of god. Apparently the narrator is very depressed and going through a time of turmoil and doubt, but still very much feels there is more to life than just chaos and causation. While the narrator is deep within an existential battle of sorts, he realizes that he doesn't want to exist in a world if, indeed there is no one true designer or creator. He would rather, not exist, and be stardust (where the gold comes from) amongst the void of the universe.

[@ashtonhutchason3038]

Soda Spider precisely, he’s saying if god isn’t real then what is the point of our existence? Why are we here? If god doesn’t exist, he doesn’t want to either. Science and religion conflicted, he sees the side of science but believes faith is more powerful that what you can observe, it’s deeper than that. Underrated and extremely powerful, profound song in my opinion.

[@shannonjennings4789]

brilliant!!!!!!!

[@ericacrosby7751]

I love it

[@kyanamendoza1773]

Wow...so poetic and deep

[@codyco9992]

Nice

[@lauraaa2222]

Can i just say.... KUDOS to you, who made this. This is pretty much bang on. Just a tiny little part in the second verse, 2 words are wrong. "I feel THE WEIGHT of something beyond them...". And if you listen carefully you can hear it. And it makes more sense than "i feel the way of something beyond them.." but absolutely brilliant. You even had the black and gold x11! And it shows that you haven't cheated on this, you have put eord for word what you think it is, and literally 2 words are out. I think this is great though. 👏 👏❤

[@maryjaneandol5634]

Like any form of poetry, lyrics are subject to personal interpretation based on one's frame of reference. I liked that a link was provided to an interview with the lyricist who acknowledges that the song is about God although that admission should not IMO limit the interpretations of the listener. My daughter read the lyrics to me many years ago and talked about how the song was descriptive of her faith - "I feel a way of something beyond them, but I don't see what I can feel". And that is faith. "If vision is the only validation, then most of my life isn't real." So vision is not the only validation. That young woman was something else. I miss her, especially her insight.

[@everlasting..2941]

this song reminds me of my old school concert and i miss them so bad 💔

[@missyyan16]

I haven't heard this song for time, love it !!!!

[@lisamuir8279]

Anyone else listening to this in 2017!! xD love this song!!

[@hatkid5095]

And I'm not gay just a good song

[@Advic77]

Sorry, back to the future! 😎

[@ProfessorThascales]

Sorry folks, his father is a pastor the song is about God, and black and gold is the night sky with stars...

[@Mr-Tibbster]

It makes sense. This is how I have always personally felt about the song.

[@ZigZag9639]

Nah...no such thing as god.

[@ArgentoGaming]

It has many meanings to many people. For me, it encapsulates how I feel towards someone

[@Bountylicious]

@@ArgentoGaming you can interpret it how you like. The fact is that this song is about God.

[@savions4005]

TheVasculus exactly. “ if vision is the only validation, then most of my life isn’t real” if seeing is believing and you can’t see god then how is he real? He’s questioning his entire faith because he’s been believing in something that he can’t even see.

[@VampireGyrlz123]

I remember watching obsessed and having this song on the opening credits. I finally found it, I'm obsessed with this song...ha get it? no? okay...

[@drymdaniels2505]

Meeeii too🖤🖤

[@Gunnr7]

I get it lol

[@weirdgirlgamer]

My cousins friend did this song for a dance place and my cousin loved it! Now she got me obsessed with it!

Jaibo funny cuz this song was in the movie obsessed

[@elijahbarlage5394]

Ahaha made my day by ur comment u silly bru

[@Sabreeneful]

Gives me the chills every time I listen to it

[@nacomyaracena5488]

don't know why no one has put this together but its obviously about a guy and his feelings about science and religion. he isn't hurt about his gf, its God he wants to be with cause he is conflicted about evolution and science. "The apes climbed down from from the trees, grew tall and started talking" shows evolution and "..I'm filled to the top with fear that's its all just a bunch a matter" sayung he doesn't believe it all can be made of matter and atoms! I hope this helps people understand that he isn't hurt over a woman but scared and hurt over science and his religion.

[@sodaspider130]

That is exactly what I thought!

[@skyworm8006]

First time I've heard this song and I thought this was obvious. He is in-between materialism/rationality and his God. Basically facing the resulting nihilism and cognitive dissonance, being somewhat unsure how to precede. Then stating he doesn't want to exist without his God and the objective meaning it brings.

[@audreyervin8511]

I'm shook, I've been listening to this song for almost a decade and never thought of it like that once...but yeah, you're right??! Listening to it again, I feel dumb for ever thinking it was about another person 😭😭😂

[@ZigZag9639]

Actually, he's gay and doesn't believe in religion and he's Aussie. :-)

[@liamwaddell6214]

I want some of whatever you are on

[@jesiwhitney3740]

Ive always took this song to be about the existence of another being. Anyone else ever gone insane because there's no way to prove that you're not all alone, hallucinating? Cause if vision is the only validation, most of my life isn't real💛

Heard this on Fame and loved it! ♥

[@claudiahowick98]

No, music is about whatever you want it to be, as was said previously, if an artist has a problem to get off their chest, then they will write and sing about it - these artists are usually the ones with amazing vocals and exceptional song-writing skills.

No matter how old this is this is a bop

its so good i love it ireally love

[@lirraakthedragon5586]

August 2023. Remember hearing this as a kid. Was inly reminded of its existence when my brother just randomly played it. Although, it grinds my gears when they get the lyrics wrong. He clearly says "That" its all just bunch of matter. not "but". "But" doesnt even make sense given the context. But what can you do...

[@t824192000]

i just love sam sparos music!!! he is #1!!!

[@Andro1]

Your songs are amazing Iv listened to a lot of them

[@ersatzear]

I love how few people get this song, but it is deceptively simple. It's about human apprehension of God, and how lost we are without Him, regardless of who you think He is. Best line "If vision is the only validation, then most of my life isn't real". This is about the inability to prove the past. The universe could have been created five minutes ago with crumbling ruins, implanted memories, and half-digested food, but we don't believe this to be true because deep inside, we know there's a past

[@Carmen.Ciantar]

Music in my veins .running through my whole body

[@2moroneverdies]

@Josuatik It's a song about god, Sam Sparro did an interview somewhere about it. Look it up, and FYI I am an athiest, i've never believed in a God, none of my friends or family have ever done so either so I have never related anything to God. In fact, there have been a few cases where someone has tried to convert me in to a religion and it's backfired for them. Perhaps you should read/listen to the lyrics of the song. The song has no references to a girl, sex or any other component of love.

[@OnMyMindd]

Had this song play in our highschool RE class, I love it.
