Their full-length debut, Tally Of The Yes Men, is a melding of decades of rock and pop influences with the melodic sensibilities of old Indian film music.
Siddhartha (founder, lead singer / songwriter of Goldspot) is quick to pay tribute to his early influences: "I grew up listening to whatever my parents had in their cassette decks - Mohd. Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Mukesh - these were great Indian playback singers from the 1940's and 50's. The melodies were brilliant. And then one day when I was 14, I figured out that if you flipped the switch on the stereo from 'tape' to 'radio' you could hear music with English words. That's when I heard R.E.M.'s Green, and it was my first introduction to Western music."
Goldspot thrives on Siddhartha's creative chemistry with drummer and co-writer Ramy Antoun. "Sid would come to me with demos of the songs that he had recorded in his apartment, and we would finish them together." "We both have similar backgrounds," notes Siddhartha, referring to his Indian upbringing and Ramy's formative years in Egypt. "There's a lot of connection on that level," confirms Ramy.

Goldspot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Darlin' all I know is oh our love will grow
With foundation, foundation we'll build a home
Darlin' I don't know which way the wind will blow
Darlin all I know is oh I love wil grow
With foundation, foundation we'll build a home
In your eyes, in your eyes, I see that home
We were living in the shadows on the wall
We were looking at the past for oh so long ohhhhhhh ahhhhhhhh
Darlin' let go of the plans we made when we were young
I hear there's a wind out there that takes those plans and runs
But don't worry, don't worry, we'll make new ones
I know there's no master plan, of that I am sure
Burning like that tambourine hit on the two-by-four
With foundation, foundation we'll build that home
In your eyes, in your eyes I see that home
We were living in the shadows on the wall
They were left there by the sun
We were looking at the past for oh so long ohhhhhhh ahhhhhhhh
The song "Foundations" by Goldspot is a reflection on the power of love to build a strong and enduring relationship, despite the uncertainty and unpredictability of life. The opening line, "Darlin' I don't know which way the wind will blow," suggests that the future is always uncertain and that there are no guarantees in life. However, the singer is confident that their love will endure and grow stronger over time, as long as it is built on a solid foundation.
The repeated phrase "with foundation, foundation we'll build a home" reinforces this idea of the importance of a strong foundation in any relationship. It is not enough to rely on passion or excitement in the moment, but rather to build a strong, lasting connection that can weather the ups and downs of life. The singer acknowledges that there may be challenges ahead and that plans may need to change, but ultimately they are confident that they can build a home together.
