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“.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gravity can't hold us now
We're forever floating
Our feet will never touch the ground
Take the leap
It's now or never
Come with me
We will always be together
So why don't we go
Somewehere made of
Endless possibilities
We don't have to know
How the story unfolds
We will be
Forever free (Forever free)
Forever free
Forever free
Forever free
Walking on a wire
Feel your faith begin to shake
Suddenly we remember (Suddenly remember)
It never held us anyway
All this time dropped in our own minds
We forgot we always could fly
It only takes the strength to try
Try
So why don't we go
Somewehere made of
Endless possibilities
We don't have to know
How the story unfolds
We will be
Forever free (Forever free)
Forever
Forever free
Forever free
Forever free

Line by Line Meaning
None of us are tied down
We are not held back by anything or anyone
Gravity can't hold us now
Even gravity cannot keep us down
We're forever floating
We are always moving forward, not tethered to anything
Our feet will never touch the ground
We will always be unbound and unrestricted
Take the leap
We should take the risk and step outside our comfort zone
It's now or never
We shouldn't wait for the right moment to come, it's time to act now
Come with me
Let us embark on this journey together
Just cut that tether
We should let go of anything that is holding us back and weighing us down
We will always be together
No matter what challenges we face, we will always have each other
So why don't we go
Why not take a chance and explore new opportunities
Somewhere made of endless possibilities
A place where there are endless opportunities to grow and achieve our dreams
We don't have to know
We don't need to have all the answers, we just need to stay open to new experiences
How the story unfolds
We cannot predict how our journey will turn out
We will be forever free
We will continue to be unbound and unrestricted by any obstacles along the way
Walking on a wire
Taking a risk by going outside our comfort zone
Feel your faith begin to shake
Feeling uncertain about the choices we've made
Suddenly we remember (Suddenly remember)
Realizing that we are capable of achieving great things
It never held us anyway
Obstacles or challenges cannot hold us back from achieving our goals
All this time dropped in our own minds
We've been overthinking and holding ourselves back with self-doubt
We forgot we always could fly
Forgetting our true potential and ability to soar
It only takes the strength to try
All it takes is courage and determination to take that first step
Forever free
We will always be unbound and unrestricted by any obstacle, and free to achieve our dreams

After all these years, Goldfish keeps doing something different with every major video release. I'm always impressed but the chilled, struggle vibe of this one was especially standout. Well done, I can't wait to not know what's coming next.
