1. Goldfish is a live electronic act from Cape Town, South Africa. The two members Dominic Peters and David Poole are jazz musicians who met while studying music at university. They recorded their first album - ''Caught in the Loop'' - themselves, with little more than a double bass, a saxophone and a couple of synths. This self-released album led to a cult following and numerous hits in their home country, where they have been voted best live act, and are known as the 'Fishies' to their fans.
Goldfish have taken their live act across the globe, including opening for Fatboy Slim, Mr Scruff, The Audio Bullys, Paul van Dyk, Pete Tong and Stereo MC's. 'Re-invention of the DJ' is a phrase that has been used to describe their combination of live instruments such as double bass, saxophones, keyboards, flute, and vocals; with samplers, effects, synths, and freeform improvisation.
Goldfish's second album was signed to Pacha. ''Perceptions of Pacha'', released at Miami's Winter Music Conference March 2008, features 10 new tracks and the international release includes a second disc with a live performance video and remixes by top DJs from around the world. The band toured the US and Europe during 2008, and held a 4 month Friday night summer residency at super-club Pacha Ibiza.
Their website is www.goldfishlive.com.
2. The second Goldfish is located in Berlin/Germany. Their style is most likely labeled as "Alternative" - the influences reach from Eels, Breeders, Wipers and PJ Harvey up to Portishead…
The five members Danuta (Git./Voc.), Lutz (Bass), Benni (Key.), Marcin (Drums) and Tilman (Git./Perc.) stick together since Feb. 2012, the origin Goldfishes (with Benni and Danuta) recorded the debut-album "'coming home" already in 2008 - on Steve Morells Label „Pale Music“.
Goldfish's sound by the way convinced the well known producers Thomas Stern and Olsen Involtini. While Stern, former member of „Crime & the City Solution“ and producer of Meret Becker and Katharina Franck, picked up his bass again for some songs, Olsen („Seeed“, Peter Fox, Bela B.) made a beautiful mixdown of Goldfish's „Carry Your Name“.

Are You Lulu
Goldfish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And yet
I heard your voice
Saw your smile
Felt the sadness behind your eyes
And my failure to love you stings
Even after I woke up and realized
You were "only a dream"
Who are you now that you've gone past the end?
I'll retrace this path once I find where it begins
I'll be with you once I find out who you are again
If it took two hundred years I would make it back to you
I don't care how far away I am or what I have to do
I'll make it home somehow, someway
And see you on a brighter day
Who are you now that I have to find you again?
Who are you now that we have yet to be friends?
Who are you now and do you want to jump back in?
I'll be with you once I find out who you are again
Who are you now that I have to find you again?
Who are you now that you've gone past the end?
I'll retrace this path once I find where it begins
I'll be with you once I find out who you are again

Line by Line Meaning
You don't exist; at least I'm pretty sure
I doubt your existence, or at least I am unsure about it
And yet I heard your voice
Surprisingly, I could hear your voice
Saw your smile
I witnessed your smile
Felt the sadness behind your eyes
I sensed the sorrow hidden in your eyes
And my failure to love you stings
The fact that I couldn't love you properly hurts me deeply
Even after I woke up and realized you were 'only a dream'
Even though I eventually woke up and understood that you were just a figment of my imagination
Who are you now that I have to find you again?
Now that I need to search for you once more, who have you become?
Who are you now that you've gone past the end?
Now that you have moved beyond the conclusion, who are you now?
I'll retrace this path once I find where it begins
Once I discover the origin of this journey, I will follow the same path again
I'll be with you once I find out who you are again
Once I rediscover your true identity, I will be by your side
If it took two hundred years I would make it back to you
Even if it required two centuries, I would find my way back to you
I don't care how far away I am or what I have to do
I disregard the distance and the obstacles I must overcome
I'll make it home somehow, someway
I will find a way to return to where I belong
And see you on a brighter day
And reunite with you in a more optimistic future
Who are you now that I have to find you again?
Now that I must seek you again, who have you become?
Who are you now that we have yet to be friends?
Now that we are still strangers, who are you now?
Who are you now and do you want to jump back in?
Who are you at this moment, and are you open to rejoining?
I'll be with you once I find out who you are again
Once I ascertain your true identity, I will be by your side
Who are you now that I have to find you again?
Now that I need to search for you once more, who have you become?
Who are you now that you've gone past the end?
Now that you have moved beyond the conclusion, who are you now?
I'll retrace this path once I find where it begins
Once I discover the origin of this journey, I will follow the same path again
I'll be with you once I find out who you are again
Once I rediscover your true identity, I will be by your side
