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.

Wonderful
Gary Go Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The person that you were has died,
You've lost the sparkle in your eyes,
You fell for life; into it's traps,
And now you wanna bridge the gaps.
Now you wanna bridge the gaps,
Now you want that person back.

And all your ammunition's gone,
Run out of fuel to carry on,
You don't know what you wanna do,
You've got no pull, to pull you through.

Say "I Am",
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am Wonderful".

Say "I Am",
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am Wonderful".

If what you've lost cannot be found,
And the weight of the world weighs you down,
No longer with the will to fly,
You stop to let it pass you by.
Don't stop to let it pass you by.
You've gotta look yourself in the eyes and...

Say "I Am",
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am Wonderful".
Ooh, you are.

Say "I Am",
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am Wonderful".

'Cause we are all miracles,
Wrapped up in chemicals,
We are incredible.
Don't take it for granted, no,
We are all miracles.
Ooh, we are.

Say "I Am",
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am Wonderful".
Ooh, you are.

Don't take it for granted, no,
We are all miracles,




Wrapped up, yeah, we're wrapped up.
Ooh, we are wonderful.

Overall Meaning

Gary Go's song "Wonderful" is about self-acceptance and loving oneself while facing the difficulties and ups and downs of life. The lyrics describe how one starts losing their spark of life and falls into life's various traps. They become overwhelmed and run out of fuel to carry on, feeling like they have lost all their ammunition too. The chorus encourages the listener to say out loud, "I am wonderful" to remind them that they are a miracle wrapped up in chemicals and incredible, and not to take it for granted.


The song's lyrics teach us about facing life's difficulties and never forgetting our worth and value. It tells us that we don't need to look for anyone else's validation or approval since the power to accept or reject ourselves lies with us. The words "I am wonderful" are a reminder to embrace our unique self, despite being flawed or perfect, and keep loving ourselves no matter what.

Era l'estate 2009. C'era MTV in televisione. Passavano Magnificent degli U2, Stop for a Minute dei Keane feat K'naan, The World We Live In dei The Killers e Nothin' On You di B.o.B feat Bruno Mars e Wonderful di Gary Go. Era il 2009. Sembra ieri. Ed eravamo felici.

That might be why it hits me so hard. Summer of 2021 my older birth brother killed his wife then while in jail about a month later he killed himself. Then March 2022 my cousin Laurie in my adopted family dies from cancer. 8 days later my adopted mom passes away. Then summer of 2022 my friend Jenelle dies in a car accident caused by the us marshals chasing after her fiancee she was in the car driving them away from the marshals she died in the accident. Back in 2008 I held my birth Mom's hand as she passed away so both my Mom's are gone. There is so many more people I've lost but to list everyone would create more of a novel than what I already wrote here. That is why I started a band with my friend Chad, it's like our therapy. It's raw and angry, sad and at times fun but we cover mostly life situations in our lyrics majority of the time. I'm sorry for your loss as well Chris, if you happen to read this comment.
