Sam Sparro's Black and Gold is a bold, legible song all about truth. It asks the critical question... 'Why this world and all things in it?' If not God, if he's not here, nothing actually matters.
In the first and second verses Sparro takes a dig at the evolutionist in my view. If evolution was a relevant life theory things would continue evolving; i.e. the failure for things to continue to evolve would bring this theory undone.
If the fish swam out of the ocean
and grew legs and they started walking
and the apes climbed down from the trees
and grew tall and they started talking
and the stars fell out of the sky
and my tears rolled into the ocean
now i'm looking for a reason why
you even set my world into motion
If Sparro is looking for a reason that God's set his world in motion, he's simply curious about what would make any normal, rational person, curious. Why are we here? I've been a Christian for quite some time now and apart from believing I'm here to mould my character toward Heaven, I still don't know why... and may never know. The meaning of life, like so many things is very esoteric in my view. This does not cause me to lose hope. On the contrary, I am full of hope that I can do so much good in God's name whilst I'm here: that's my purpose.
'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
but it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
then i don't want to be either
i wanna be next to you

black and gold
i looked up into the night sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but black
Black and Gold is about space; golden beacons shining forth on that 'black' background of nothingness. When we have a good look some time at the starry night sky, we can't help but notice how very big the universe is and how commensurately small we are; it's the biggest dichotomy.
i feel a way of something beyond them
i don't see what i can feel
if vision is the only validation
then most of my life isn't real
Anyone half spiritual knows that not everything visible is real. We can see fear in a person, yet what they respond to is not necessarily real; it's only 'real' for them.
'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
but it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
then i don't want to be either
i wanna be next to you

I was inspired to look into these lyrics from a spiritual viewpoint from the insightful reflections provided of my daughter. Isn't it great how young people can teach older people?
