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.

Matt Goss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down
Oh mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changin ocean tides
Well, I've been afraid of changin
Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
Landslide
Landslide
Landslide
Well, I've been afraid of changin
Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
I'm getting older too
Oh-oh take my love I take it down
Oh-oh you climbed a mountain and you turned around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well the landslide bring it down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well the landslide bring it down
Oh-ohh, the landslide bring it down
The song "Landslide" by Matt Goss depicts a person's introspective journey through love, self-reflection, and the passage of time. The opening lines, "I took my love, I took it down, I climbed a mountain and I turned around," suggest a decision to distance oneself from a relationship or a situation that was once cherished. The act of climbing a mountain represents the effort made to gain perspective and introspection.
Upon reaching the peak, the singer sees their own reflection in the "snow-covered hills." This reflection symbolizes self-discovery and the realization that their own inner struggles and emotions have led to the downfall. The phrase "Til the landslide brought me down" indicates that the burden of their emotions eventually overwhelmed them.
The next stanza questions the nature of love, wondering if the childlike purity within one's heart can overcome the trials and tribulations of life. The references to sailing through changing ocean tides and handling the seasons of life imply the challenges and uncertainties that come with personal growth and maturity. The lyrics suggest a desire to navigate through these challenges successfully.
The chorus emphasizes the fear of change and the resistance to adaptability that comes from building one's life around someone else. The line "time makes you bolder, even children get older" highlights the inevitability of change and growth, indicating that even the most resistant individuals cannot escape the passage of time.
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the theme of getting older and the acceptance that accompanies it. The closing lines, "the landslide bring it down," express the fear of the past repeating itself, as the singer hopes that their reflection in the hills will not lead to a similar downfall.
Overall, "Landslide" is a contemplative song that explores the complexities of love, self-identity, and the impact of time on personal growth and relationships. It highlights the importance of introspection and the need to navigate through life's challenges with resilience and acceptance.
Line by Line Meaning
I took my love I took it down
I chose to remove my love from the situation
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
I faced a challenge and then changed my perspective
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
I observed myself in the midst of a difficult and cold situation
Til the landslide brought me down
Until an overwhelming force or event caused my downfall
Oh mirror in the sky
Oh heavenly reflection
What is love
What is the true nature of love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can the innocent part of me overcome challenges
Can I sail through the changin ocean tides
Can I navigate through the unpredictable changes in life
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Can I manage the different phases and challenges in my life
Well, I've been afraid of changin
I have been scared of embracing change
Cause I've built my life around you
Because I have centered my life around you
But time makes you bolder
However, time gives one more courage and strength
Even children get older
Even the young ones grow older
And I'm getting older too
And I, too, am aging
Landslide
A sudden and overwhelming change or event
Oh-oh take my love I take it down
Oh-oh, I remove my love from this situation
Oh-oh you climbed a mountain and you turned around
Oh-oh, you faced a challenge and changed your perspective
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
And if you notice my presence amidst the difficult circumstances
Well the landslide bring it down
That sudden change or event causes everything to collapse
Oh-ohh, the landslide bring it down
Oh-ohh, the sudden change or event brings everything down
