Sam Sparro – Black and Gold Lyrics 16 years ago
fueledbyerin... Sam Sparro has specifically stated that the song is indeed related to God.
"Moving on... what's the single, 'Black and Gold', about?
"SS: It's pretty much about existential moments: does God exist? What are we all doing here? I was thinking about the origins of the universe when I wrote it - you know, nothing much, really! The black is the space in between and the gold is the stars.""

I like the tune, but the lyrics are disappointing tbh.
A lot of it is the same nonsense we keep hearing from religious people:
-our lives would be meaningless without a God.
-it would be scary
-God is real through personal experience - no actual evidence needed
-and so on...


So yeah, I prefer to interpret in the framework of a relationship as well. But it's about God if you ask the artist.

Yeah, I think it's definitely "...HOLD you, remember me", not "hope".


Btw fireandice92, terrific job with that analysis.
