THE KONGQUEST

This has been one of my favorite songs for a while now. At first, you may think the song is about love but it’s not the love you would expect. Sam Sparro crytically spins some existential flavor into this catchy song that will keep you playing it on repeat.

Black and Gold - Sam Sparro

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.

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
Black and gold
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.

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.

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.
