Matt Goss is the headliner at the world famous Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas alongside mega artists such as Celine Dion and Elton John. His show is produced by Pussycat Dolls’ creator Robin Antin and is a very contemporary reinvention of vintage Rat Pack Vegas featuring a dynamic blend of musical talent. Backed by a nine-piece band and the sexy “Dirty Virgins” dancers, Goss entertains guests with a production featuring a mix of his many past hits, songs from his new album, and popular old-school classics such as “I’ve Got the World on a String” and “Luck Be a Lady.”
Matt reached international fame as a singer in a band (Bros) with his brother Luke and friend Craig Logan. Bros enjoyed more than a decade of success and more than 17 million records sold worldwide. Their debut album “Push” went 7-times platinum, spawned 13 top-5 hits, and remained in the U.K. charts for 84 weeks. Their record-setting video surpassed the making of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and they went on to sell-out the iconic Wembley Arena for 15 consecutive nights.
In addition to his successful recording career, in 2005 Matt released his autobiography “More than you Know”, achieving best-seller status in the coveted London Sunday Times. He has gone on to focus on songwriting, including writing the theme for the smash FOX program “So You Think You Can Dance” and the hit song “Change Me” for Keri Hilson and Akon, which is featured on Hilson’s chart-topping album “In a Perfect World”. Matt’s song ”Lovely Las Vegas” is currently being used by NASCAR to support the 2011 campaign.
Matt currently lives in Los Angeles and was recently selected by LA Confidential Magazine as one of “LA’s Most Eligible Bachelors”.
He has just been named the sexiest man alive in Vegas by CBS news, and has also just finished an editorial piece for LA Confidential where he was profiled as one of six leading industry changers in Los Angeles.
He is now recording his much anticipated new album with legendary music producer Ron Fair, who has worked with artists such as The Black Eyed Peas, U2, Christina Aguilera and Mary J Blige to name just a few. Matt will be debuting some of these new recordings at one of his favorite venues, The Royal Albert Hall, in London on October 21 2011, followed by a prestigious “audience with” performance at the decadent Savoy Hotel in London on October 22.
A Song for You
Matt Goss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life on stages
With ten thousand people watching
We're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be, yeah
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
Baby can't you see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets of a true love withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life and you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
Oh, we were alone and I was singing this song to you
I love you in a place when there's no space or time
I love you for my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
And we were alone and I was singing this song to you
And we were alone and I was singing this song for you
Matt Goss’s “A Song for You” is a sweet and intimate declaration of love. The song is a candid statement of love by the singer to his beloved. The opening lyrics, “I’ve been so many places in my life and time, I’ve sung a lot of songs I’ve made some bad rhymes” lays the foundation for the song. It describes the life of a singer, the different stages they may have performed on, with a sea of people watching them. Then the narrative changes and he speaks directly to the listener. “We’re alone now and I’m singing this song to you,” he says. The sudden change in perspective from a full auditorium to just two people alone in a room is a powerful one.
The second verse speaks of the singer’s own self-image, the person he hopes to be. He admits to being unkind in the past but he wants his lover to see that there is no one more important to him than her. “Cause we’re alone now and I’m singing this song to you,” he repeats. The final verse is a testament to the love they share. The singer thanks his lover for teaching him the secrets of true love, and promises that even in death, he will remember their time together.
