*SAM SPARRO on the meaning behind 'Black and Gold'* : "I was feeling totally lost. I was making cappuccinos when I felt I should be onstage singing. That track came from looking up to the stars and seeing myself as a tiny speck in this infinite solar-system. I wrote it in 10 minutes. It just came to me one night when I was feeling lonely and wondering if God exists''

[@turkeyram]

Damn. Not just a funky beat ig. Never really listened to the lyrics till recently so its cool to know the back story

Hard agree. A shimmering gem amongst a whole lot of garbage. Existentialism slipped through into the mainstream pop culture because of how well written, catchy and cool the song is. Not that most people appreciated the lyrics at the time, they just tuned into the chorus and thought it was another love drama song.

[@snoutysnouterson]

It's a shame he didn't make any other songs as good as this one

[@lauraaa2222]

@@snoutysnouterson I don't think I've ever felt lyrics hit me as hard as these. I'm trying to think. I am obviously exaggerating, I must be, I must have other lyrics that have hit me harder (it's just I can't think of any rn) but I'm making a point lol. I notice many artists will always have that ONE awesome, stand-out song. And as I'm sure you agree, a song can be awesome, but, it's made a masterpiece by the lyrics. I will say, it's a shame we didn't hear more than we did from Sam Sparro, but I'm glad he dropped this song while he was so... temporary. I'm sure he's more than happy with the fact that this song was just so profoundly stunning and outstanding to many many people.

[@snoutysnouterson]

@@lauraaa2222 I agree, I've never had lyrics from another song hit me as hard as these, marble hall's by enya is probably one of the hardest hitters, but black and gold beats it by a fair margin. The only part I don't agree on is that I know that no other song lyrics hit harder, haha, for me anyway. Thanks for your comment :)
