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 ↴
Mama can tell me that I'm goin nowhere, I'm just a prisoner of my fate
Would you come along, bring me in
Would you come along, bring me in
Bring me in
Today if Friday, it is my day to disappear
To kings and queens and make-believe and the demons in my head
Would you come along, bring me in
Bring me in
If you were around in my sleep
If you could be found in my sleep
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Today is Friday, it is my day to live a simple life
Put on my make-up, dress up in color
Maybe you might see me down here
Could you come along, bring me in
Would you come along, bring me in
Bring me in
If you were around in my sleep
If you could be found in my sleep
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Maybe we'll walk into the rain
To ease what's on my mind-
You both hand in hand
And you're living your life over again
Today is Friday it is my day to do what I want
Mama can tell me I'm goin nowhere
I'm just a prisoner of my fate
Would you come along, bring me in
Could you come along, bring me in
Bring me in
If you were around in my sleep
If you could be found in my sleep
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Today is Friday, it is my day to live a simple life
Put on my make-up, dress up in color
Maybe you might see me down here
Can you come along, bring me in
Will you come along, bring me in
Bring me in
