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.
You & Me
Goldie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To shade your memory
When in the dark
How can you find the light
I am lost
I’ve done everything but give in
I hear your voice
Tell me quietly
Close your eyes and look up to the sky
Somewhere in the deepest blue skies
You’ll find me
When you're sad, just let all the tears fall
Cause in storms, when it rains it must pour
My love, don’t you worry no more
You’ll find me
I’ve tried my hardest just to try and remain strong
But how can I face the world
When I’m still crying
You say
When you're sad, just let all the tears fall
Cause in storms, when it rains it must pour
My love, don’t you worry no more
You’ll find me
When you’re scared, don’t you dare try to hide
Close your eyes and look up to the sky
Somewhere in the deepest blue skies
You’ll find me
In Goldie's song "You & Me," the singer is trying to comfort someone who is struggling with their emotions. The silhouettes mentioned in the opening lines represent the memories and pain that the person is carrying with them, and the singer is trying to provide some light in the darkness. The lyrics encourage the person to let their emotions out and not to hide them. The chorus, "When you're sad, just let all the tears fall, cause in storms, when it rains it must pour. My love, don't you worry no more, you'll find me," is reassuring the person that they are not alone and that the singer will be there for them through the ups and downs.
The lines "I’ve tried my hardest just to try and remain strong, but how can I face the world when I’m still crying" reveal that the singer is also struggling with their own emotions and needs a listening ear. However, despite their own feelings, the singer is focusing on comforting the other person. The song ends with a final reminder that the singer is always with them: "Close your eyes and look up to the sky, somewhere in the deepest blue skies, you’ll find me."
Line by Line Meaning
These silhouettes came
These memories of you come back as fleeting shadows
To shade your memory
To obscure the good times that we had shared
When in the dark
When everything seems hopeless and gloomy
How can you find the light
How can you discover something positive in the midst of negative circumstances
I am lost
I feel alone and directionless
I’ve done everything but give in
Despite feeling defeated, I have not surrendered
I hear your voice
I still hold onto the sound of your comforting words
Tell me quietly
Speak to me in a gentle manner
When you're scared, don’t you dare try to hide
Don't be afraid to show your vulnerable side
Close your eyes and look up to the sky
Take a moment to pause and reflect on the beauty of the world around us
Somewhere in the deepest blue skies
In the vast expanse of the sky, you will find me
You’ll find me
I will always be there for you, even if it's just in spirit
When you're sad, just let all the tears fall
Don't hold back your emotions and let them flow freely
Cause in storms, when it rains it must pour
During difficult times, it may feel like everything is falling apart
My love, don’t you worry no more
Rest assured that I am here for you and I will support you
I’ve tried my hardest just to try and remain strong
I have given it my all to stay resolute and courageous
But how can I face the world
Despite my best efforts, I still struggle to cope with the challenges of life
When I’m still crying
When I am still processing my pain and sadness
