1 - Clifford Price, better known as Goldie (born September, 1965 in Wolverhampton) is a British electronic music artist, disc jockey, and actor. As a musician he works mainly within the jungle and drum and bass genres, and has helped to promote these styles globally.

Music career

In 1992 he collaborated with Icelanders Thorhallur Skulason and Sigurbjorn Thorgrimsson on his first track as Ajax Project while he was doing some design and A&R work for 4 Hero’s Reinforced label.

His releases Killa Muffin b/w Krisp Biscuit and the Dark Rider EP (featuring the classic Menace) were put out under an early moniker Rufige Cru on Reinforced.

His track Terminator recorded under the name Metalheads in 1992 was a huge hit. In 1993 he released another classic 12” on the Synthetic Hardcore Phonography label, Angel. 1994 saw him setting up his own record label, Metalheadz. The label was a huge success releasing some of the most important 12”s of that era and remains hugely successful and respected to this day.

His first globally released album, Timeless, followed in 1995. Timeless shot straight into the album charts at number seven, which was a first for a drum ‘n’ bass record. The album fused the breakbeats and basslines common in jungle with orchestral textures and soulful female vocals. The album’s title track was a 21-minute symphonic piece. Inner City Life from that album sold over 15,000 copies on vinyl.

With his reputation firmly established, he released his second album in 1998, Saturnzreturn. The album’s opening track, Mother is also an hour long orchestral drum and bass piece. The remainder of the album features appearances by David Bowie, Noel Gallagher of Oasis, and KRS-One.

In 2002, Price said that he had been working for three years on a film called Sine Tempus, described as a coming-of-age story of a young paintbrush artist, and in 2006 announced its soundtrack as his new album. The album was released via the metalheadz website in 2008. The film is still listed as ‘forthcoming’.

Price is also known for his work as the leader of the Rufige Kru. This group has no fixed members; it has included some of most well-known drum and bass producers such as Technical Itch, Heist, Cujo, Agzilla Da Ice, Doc Scott and Rob Playford.

During August and September 2008 the BBC broadcast Maestro, a reality television show in which eight celebrities, including Price, learned to conduct a concert orchestra. Price was placed second, behind Sue Perkins.

On July 31 and August 6, 2009, “Classic Goldie” was broadcast. The two-part television show was a result of his success in the Maestro show. In the program, Goldie learned to write a score for a large orchestra and choir. The resulting composition, commissioned by the BBC, was entitled Sine Tempore (Timeless). It was performed at two children’s Promenade concerts in the Royal Albert Hall on August 1 and August 2. The concert featured music connected with Charles Darwin as well as the creation and evolution of the world.

2. Goldie were a British 1970s pop/rock band. They are best known for the hit single "Making Up Again", which reached Number 7 in the UK Singles Chart in July 1978.[1] The single was released on the Bronze label with catalogue reference BRO 50, and the track spent 11 weeks in the chart.[1] Their lead vocalist was Peter McDonald.

3. In 1962 Genya Zelkowitz, a.k.a. Goldie Zelkowitz (who would eventually change her last name to Genya Ravan -as she became better known as the lead singer of the band Ten Wheel Drive beginning in 1969) - first as the lead-singer of Richard Perry's band The Escorts- met Ginger Panabianco in a New York club. Ginger was on stage, performing as the drummer for one of Perry's friends. The discovery of a female drummer inspired in Genya Ravan the idea of an all-female rock band. The name of the would-be band Goldie & The Gingerbreads was decided upon rapidly: Goldie was the name by which Ravan's mother chose to call her after their arrival in the United States from post-war Poland, while gingerbread was a play on Ginger's name. In 1969 Genya Ravan went on to form Ten Wheel Drive.

Believe
Goldie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Loving you and making believe)
Making believe that you still love me it's leaving me alone and so blue
But I'll always dream still I'll never own you making believe is all I can do
Can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love you'll never be mine
Making believe I'll spend my lifetime loving you and making believe
[ piano ]
Making believe that I never lost you but my happy hours I'll find are so few

My plans for the future will never come true making believe what else can I do

Can't hold you close...

Overall, the song conveys a sense of heartbreak, longing, and the desire to hold onto the past. It highlights the human tendency to dream and make believe, even when faced with reality.

Line by Line Meaning

Loving you and making believe
Living with the illusion of loving you and pretending everything's alright

Making believe that you still love me it's leaving me alone and so blue
Pretending you still have feelings for me makes me feel lonely and sad

But I'll always dream still I'll never own you making believe is all I can do
Although I'll always dream of being with you, I know deep down that you'll never be mine and pretending is all I can do

Can't hold you close when you're not with me
I can't embrace you or feel your warmth when you're not here with me

You're somebody's love you'll never be mine
You belong to someone else, and I have to accept that I can never have you

Making believe I'll spend my lifetime loving you and making believe
I'll spend my lifetime living with the illusion that I love you and pretending that everything's alright

[ piano ]
Instrumental break

Making believe that I never lost you but my happy hours I'll find are so few
Pretending that I never lost you, but in reality, I find very few happy moments

My plans for the future will never come true making believe what else can I do
I know my plans for the future with you will never come true, but pretending is the only thing I can do

Can't hold you close...
I can't embrace you or feel your warmth when you're not here with me
