I had an insight into music early because my older cousin was in bands and used to let me sit in his studio while he wrote and recorded songs. He used to give me Bowie and Beatles records to listen to. Then I heard wives' tales about Paul McCartney not really being Paul McCartney and how the clues to his death were in the artwork of their albums and that had me pretty spooked when listening to the Beatles for quite some time. I got really into early Bowie (like The London Boys era), then came T.Rex, Queen, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel and of course Michael Jackson. I tried writing songs when my cousin gave me my first keyboard, a little casio. I wrote a song called "The Stomach Ground" about a village of people living on someone's stomach. I basically wrote more and more songs, and figured out how to multi-track using a double cassette deck. Music was where I was heading. I left school to get a job in a recording studio, I made tea and set-up microphones. Then I set-up The Canvas Room, my own little studio and record label. I made an e.p called the So So...e.p and started playing shows around London. Someone who heard the So So...e.p happened to run a big studio in New Jersey USA and I was invited out there to record another e.p and I wrote an e.p called The Diary Of Rodney Harvey, inspired by an article I had read about the tragic rise and fall of this promising star. I ended up living in Manhattan for a few months, playing music, writing songs and working in studios. I moved back to New Jersey and somehow got a room in the house that Frank Sinatra grew up in. I bought a little Casio keyboard, just like the one my cousin had given me when I was five and I started writing songs for my first album.

So so
Gary Go Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so so
Its late
And I forgot to take my medicine
I'm uptight and tired
In my life its so mechanical
And feeling, feeling great
till I realize all the mess I'm in
I'm so uninspired at a time that is so so

I'm so so
Its fate
I've lost my antihistamine
I'm finding it hard
To fill in the pro's of my reasons for living list
When its too late to be late
I don't show up at all
The gaps in my diaries speak volumes about me
I've done something wrong
At least I've done something

Take me back to the London town
That brought me up
Cause its bringing me down
And I will pay you solid gold, my friend, yeah
Would you take me back to London town
When it felt good to be around
And I will pay you solid gold my friend, my friend
(Solid gold x4)

I'm so so today
My days are unaccounted for
I found, I'm bound only to me
I'm not alone, but I'm lonely
Feeling great
In a voice that didn't suit the face
He said instead they're becoming your mistakes
Remember that time is the time that it takes
I've done something wrong
At least I've done something

Take me back to the London town
That brought me up cause its bringing me down
And I will pay you solid gold my friend, yeah please
Take me back to the town I miss
Now morphed into antithesis of




Every bit it used to be
I'm so so

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gary Go's song "So So" encapsulate the feelings of someone who's not quite content with their life. The singer is struggling with a sense of inadequacy, and the daily grind is getting to them. The first verse finds them forgetting to take their medicine, which sets the tone for the rest of the song. They feel uptight and tired, and their life seems mechanical. It's a never-ending cycle that makes them feel uninspired and in need of change.


The second verse reflects the singer's sense of detachment from their own life. They've lost their antihistamine, and everything feels like a chore. They're struggling to find reasons to keep going, and even when they do, it feels like it's too late. They don't show up when they're supposed to, and their diary is full of gaps. The sense of failure is palpable, but at least they've done something.


The chorus of the song offers a glimmer of hope. The singer remembers a time when they felt good to be around, back when they were in London town. They're willing to pay "solid gold" to be taken back there, to a place where life felt less complicated. It's a cry for help that suggests the singer is in need of a change of scenery or a change of pace.
