“Rising Star 2010” Beatport 2010
The changing pace at which Thomas Gold’s year has taken shape has been literally breathtaking for the Berlin based artist. Not surprising then that Thomas was quickly snapped up by mammoth recording imprint Toolroom Records, who invited him to join their thoroughbred team of talent; as both a recording artist and resident DJ for their infamous ‘Toolroom Knights’ events alongside the likes of Fedde le Grand and Mark Knight. This strong start hasn’t gone unnoticed on the dancefloor either. 24 months on from breaking through into the international spotlight Thomas has nestled himself into the CD wallets of such luminaries as Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, Tiësto, David Guetta, Chuckie, John Dahlbäck and Sander van Doorn, whilst discovering equal support at club level by regularly chalking headlining slots at prestigious venues like Pacha, Privilege and Ministry of Sound.
His year has continued to prevail with similar successes as recent productions like his smash EP ‘Work That / Kananga’ on Toolroom led the download charts for a handful of weeks, before being followed by his collaboration with house supremo Fatboy Slim. Titled ‘Star 69’, the track rapidly ascended the Beatport progressive house chart to claim the #4 spot. His next release saw him teaming up with Italy’s Alex Kenji and resulted in ‘What’s Up’, which released through the legendary Spinnin’ records went onto pick up genre crossing support from the likes of Marco V, Bingo Players, Riley & Durrant, Tocadisco and Robbie Rivera.
Recent months have seen Thomas leading a sleepless existence through a busy production schedule and gruelling tour diary that so far has taken in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Japan, India, Dubai, Russia, Canada, America and a host of destinations across Europe. This purple patch in his career has seen some of Thomas’ biggest standout releases and projects come to the fore. Such has been the impression of his music of late that many of his recent productions have found themselves being snapped up by the artist labels of Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello (SIZE) and Axwell (Axtone). Australia’s leading house star Dirty South also signed Thomas’ new single ‘Areena’, a collaboration with David Tort and David Gausa, to his Phazing Recordings imprint. However, it is perhaps his third release on Toolroom Records that is causing the most stir among his fans. With a familiar cymbal and snare drum combination creating an hypnotic marching beat, ‘Marsch Marsch’ is an unusual yet arresting track that delivers with a killer piano melody – which explains the reason it has been one of the biggest tracks bubbling in his sets for the last few weeks.
On reflection all this recent success had to stem from somewhere and that point of origin was when Thomas was a curious 7 years old. Taught to play the electronic organ as a child, Thomas soon found interest in digital synthesizers and from here his passion soared. Aged 15 he purchased his first ever piece of studio equipment – a Yamaha DX-11 synthesizer – and has not looked back since.
In three short years Thomas Gold has built an impressive back catalogue. On top of a solo releases, his remix work has been so successful that today his credits read like the who’s who of the global dance scene with names such as David Guetta, Fergie feat. LMFAO, David Tort, Norman Doray, Erick Morillo and Paul van Dyk to his repertoire.
Soaring high with his music has led to further more successes with Beatport; who in 2009 nominated him in their ‘Best Progressive House artist’ category. He eventually went on to win the coveted award for ‘Best Progressive House Track’ for his remix of Delerium ‘Silence’.
The magic you hear in his productions is just as evident in his DJ sets. With a sound that is just at home in the big room environment of a festival or dance arena, as it is in the more personal surroundings of club lands grittier underground settings. It is little wonder then that Thomas’ diary is one that has already taken in many of the world’s best venues such from Pacha Buenos Aires and Cameo Miami to Space and current World #1 club Sankeys in Manchester, whilst touring has seen him circumnavigated the planet with rousing appearances throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, Middle East and North and South America.
Thomas Gold is definitely THE name to look out for in 2011!
Magic
Thomas Gold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Honestly I'm too scared to look back
(Scared to look back)
Like a wildfire deep inside got turned loose
You're the only one who made me feel that
Now the sun is setting, let it take you baby
Take every drop of you and drink you in
Now I-I know
Now I-I know
You put the magic in my bones
You put the magic in my bones
You put the magic in my bones
(Bones, bones, bones...)
Now when I look at you
I can't move, I'm dreaming
I wanna keep this moment froze in time
Nothing you can do to undo those three words
It's enough to bring a dead heart back to life
Now I-I know
You put the magic in my bones
Now I-I know
You put the magic in my bones
You put the magic in my bones
You put the magic in my bones
Now I-I know
You put the magic in my bones
The lyrics to Thomas Gold's song "Magic" describe a profound love one person feels for another, in which they are scared to look back and envision themselves without the other. The love is described as a wildfire that was once turned loose, and only the person they are singing to has the power to make them feel that way. The sun setting is used as symbolism to take every drop of the other person and drink them in, fully absorbing them. The chorus repeats the idea that the other person has "put the magic in my bones," a metaphor for the unexplainable connection and energy that one feels when in such a deep and intense love.
The second verse continues with the idea that the person singing is in a sort of dreamlike state when they look at their partner, and they want to keep that moment frozen in time. The power of love is emphasized in the phrase "nothing you can do to undo those three words," likely referring to "I love you." The lyrics suggest that this love is so powerful that it can bring a dead heart back to life. The chorus repeats again.
Overall, the lyrics to "Magic" paint a picture of a transformative love that has changed the person singing in significant and permanent ways. The imagery of fire and magic serves to emphasize the intensity and inexplicability of the feeling.

Baby, who was I before I met you
I don't know who I was before you came into my life
Honestly I'm too scared to look back
I'm afraid to think about my past without you by my side
(Scared to look back)
(I'm still scared)
Like a wildfire deep inside got turned loose
You brought out a powerful feeling within me that I didn't know existed
You're the only one who made me feel that
No one else has ever made me feel the way you do
Now the sun is setting, let it take you baby
As the sun sets, I want to absorb every part of you
Take every drop of you and drink you in
I want to savor every bit of you
Now I-I know
Now I understand
You put the magic in my bones
You brought something magical and transformative into my very being
You put the magic in my bones
You did it twice, just to be sure ;)
(Bones, bones, bones...)
(Just emphasizing the importance of those bones!)
Now when I look at you
When I gaze upon you now
I can't move, I'm dreaming
I'm so in awe of you, I'm almost paralyzed
I wanna keep this moment froze in time
I want this moment to last forever
Nothing you can do to undo those three words
No matter what happens, those three little words we exchanged will always be there
It's enough to bring a dead heart back to life
Our love is so powerful, it can literally revive a heart that has stopped beating
