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.

Goldie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Calling down from the clouds I slip into a daydream
Well I've been feeling just out of range
Scanning round the old dial of this beat up safari
Through heavy static I search for a beacon to guide me
Always searching for some unknown change
Rocky mountain feeling broadcasting over the trees
Long waves I'm reeling in, cast down from crystal peaks
To the alpine on high, I float up from the foothills
The rocky ridges give off a hundred thousand watt signal
Loud and clear my thoughts are billowing in now
Rocky mountain feeling broadcasting over the trees
Long waves I'm reeling in, cast down from crystal peaks
Over the airwaves of evergreens
Still the broadcasts of my mind
From the AM into the night
Oh rising up from the prairies broadcasting over the trees
Rocky mountain feeling, cast down from crystal peaks
Over the airwaves of evergreen trees
The song "Mountains" by Goldie is an ode to perseverance and determination.

The repetition of the line emphasizes the effort and determination required to achieve this goal. The singer also expresses a feeling that everything will be alright, which suggests a sense of optimism and hopefulness.
The second verse talks about the burden of the world on the singer's shoulders, which is a common metaphor for the weight of responsibility and the struggles of everyday life. Despite this, the singer maintains a positive attitude and again expresses the belief that everything will be alright. The third verse talks about the singer's journey, which is steady and taken in stride. This suggests that the singer is not only resilient but also capable of adapting to change.
Overall, the song is a celebration of the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity and achieve our goals. It encourages the listener to keep pushing forward and to maintain a sense of hope and optimism even in the face of the most challenging circumstances.

Can you save yourself
From all your fate?
Can you wake me up
Before it's late?
Can you save yourself
From all your needs?
Can you let me in
And let me breathe?
'Cause I'm constantly awake
Until we sleep
Until we break
Mountains in your way
I'm climbing every day
You fire me out of the stratosphere
Pulled from the force of your gravity
Where I'd rather be
Do you arrest yourself
With all your fear?
Lock yourself away
Hide the keys?
Can you save yourself
From all you've done?
Be a child again
And see the sun?
Can you see yourself
In softer shades?
Are you brighter now
Your colours blaze?
Do you remind yourself
For what it's worth
That we die again
And then it's birth?
'Cause I'm constantly awake
Until we sleep
Until we break
Mountains in your way
I'm climbing every day
You fire me out of the stratosphere
Pulled from the force of your gravity
Take me to your heaven's clouds
So high up I'm never coming down
Take me to your heaven's clouds
You fire me out of the stratosphere
Pulled from the force of your gravity
You fire me out babe
To where I'd rather be
Where I'd rather be hey
Yeah
In your gravity
Yeah
