about

Third single of our unreleased 2021 EP.

Gold sees guitarist Tom step to the mic. Supported by Ro’s rapping they tell a story of a passionate on again off again relationship. With a catchy guitar hook, neo-soul inspired keys and a bass that holds down the groove this song manages to get anyone dancing. As the third and final single of our project “Back For Your Pleasure” we will be using the info of the past two months of promotion to launch a vast campaign, with a lyric video and a music video featuring 2 local professional dancers.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
We don't need to leave the party early
We can skip stones we don't need the bus this time
We're a little bit lost but it don't concern me
There's no way that I could die

[Verse 2]
If I could just be patient
The seeds around me will sprout the ancient
I've been waiting for days now
Nobody around
She can't be found
Gravitating to the nearest intelligent sound
My chains unbound
But the light you shine is different
It's a mix of waves
What waves that burst of enchantment
But you got that darkness to you
That completes it
In my mind
You're not good for me either
So I'm dangling on the tether
The physical need
The frisky weather
The humble thought of us being together
Will this be better
I'm a slave to my eyes
You're bad for me
But, girl
I never claim to be wise

[Chorus]
And I know what the right decision is
But when you let me fantasise
It gets too much
Gets too much
For me to stick to it
So maybe we should let it slide
Just one more night
Before you send me home
Cause we can't do it again
But you know that we'll do it again

[Verse 3]
Trying to get back to loving love
Back then I couldn't get enough
A strong woman who removes boundaries from
Trust, no mistakes
If I'm in it, it's to win it
No excuses will be enough
Thank wisdom I learned to hide it
Sacrifice shit
Wasting the famous expressions of ancient
Moving to the sound of her graces
My thought
I hope she makes it
She's walked through the valley of Death
No regrets
Only memories of the poem she fell
If you ask me
I've been played too long
It helps me drop down
The fury in the song
I'm a misty mountain
I'm always standing tall
And if you know my rap
Then to you sir, so long
'Cause we want gold around
Just show it
Just show it
Just show it

[Chorus]
And I know what the right decision is
But when you let me fantasise
It gets too much
Gets too much
For me to stick to it
So maybe we should let it slide
Just one more night
Before you send me home
Cause we can't do it again
But you know that we'll do it again

[Outro]
What up, what up, what up and let's go
I felt it again and the feeling still grows
Black to the clarity and back to the melody
