Black and Gold Lyrics

Cover art for Black and Gold lyrics by Sam Sparro

I've watched the video a few times (a bit obsessively, actually; I really like this song), and I think some of what's quoted above is inaccurate. For example, instead of

"now i'm filled to the top with fear but it's all just a bunch of matter"

I think Sam actually says

"now i'm filled to the top with fear that it's all just a bunch of matter"

which would be more logical for a song that appears to reflect a crisis of religious faith.

Oh, and he's looking up into the "night" sky, not a "grey" one (if it were grey, why would he go on to say

"I see nothing but black!"?)

yeah, i watched the video too, it was so lame. the song meant alot more to me when i heard it, but once i watched the video it sort of ruined the feelings I got when I listened to it afterward.

I still love the song though, because i myself am stuck between spiritual and scientific matters, I don't belive in A GOD, but I definatly belive in a spiritual matter in us all and the whole universe, a higher being that defines each and every one of us in one level or another, you know?

and just as he...
