Goulding, Ellie - Black & Gold Lyrics






If a fish swam out of the ocean, grew legs and started walking
And the apes climbed out from the trees, and grew tall and started talking
And the stars fall out of the sky, and my tears rolled into the ocean
Now I'm looking for a reason why, you set my world into motion

'Cause if you're not really here, then the stars don't even matter
Now I feel too tall, we all fear
But it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here, then I don't want to be either
I want be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black gold

I looked up into the night sky and see I saw an eye staring back
And all around these golden beacons I see nothing but black
I feel a wave of something beyond though, I don't see what I can feel
If vision is the only validation, then most of my life isn't real

'Cause if you're not really here, then the stars don't even matter
Now I feel too tall, we all fear
But it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here, then I don't want to be either
I want be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black gold

I want to be next to you

'Cause if you're not really here,
then the stars don't even matter
Now I feel too tall, we all fear
But it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here,
then I don't want to be either I want be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black gold

    Ellie's songs are meaningful lyrics :)

    A.... P....

    A.... P....

    This song is originally sung by Sam Sparro. Ellie is singing a cover of it here.

    A.... P....

    ouh really?

    A.... P....

    Her lyrics are still meaningful, no need to doubt that.

  23. I.... P....

    i love here voice

  24. L.... F....

    I said its a joke read properly moron u need 2 go away stranger.

  25. D.... ....

  26. L.... F....

    Soz VAZNOT but u need 2 chill people say "truth hurts" as a joke!

    AMAZING :)))))

  35. B.... S....

    shitting terrible

  36. M.... ....

    no adele sinhs it better

  37. L.... Q....

    so true...ellie sings it face pace

  38. L.... .....

    You should really hear the original cause it kills this

  39. K.... p....

    Omg no!!!!

  40. J.... S....

    I haven't heard the original but I don't need to after hearing Ellie's version first.

  41. P.... ....

    annnnnnnnnd this should be my school's song... our colours are black & gold (no lie!).

  42. J.... ....

    That's Ellie? She looks so different (but very nice).

  43. �.... ....

    Marry me,Ellie!

  44. L.... ....

    Tbh I don't agree with this, I thought that the original sounded more pure as you could really hear the depth in his voice but this one has too many computerized sounds and has a faster pace than the original.

  45. L.... L....

    Black and Gould

  46. M.... O....

    Not bad, diferent sound and faster... but kind of plain.... I think missing some more strenght in my very own opinion

  47. J.... A....

    Damn this is way better than the original! :D

  48. B.... A....

    Uh that's why it's a cover you pillock.

  49. J.... S....

    Good, but its not the original

  50. p.... ....

    She needs to marry me -.-

  51. H.... S....

    I love her voice!!!!

  52. K.... I....

    Absolutely amazing.

  53. A.... ....

    Why am I so addicted to Ellie's voice?

  54. A.... ....

    Ellie's songs are truly Patronuses in sonic form!

  55. p.... ....

    BEST BLACK & GOLD COVER OUT THERE AND I THINK I LIKE IT MORE THEN THE ORIGINAL!!!!!

  56. J.... ....

    I love sams song and its my fav bt I do like ellie's version. It def. has that ellie g vibe. She made it work for her. :)

  57. g.... ....

    Sams version is so much more chilled out. I do not like this version.

  58. L.... G....

    I love the high note in the chorus it adds a little 'Ellie" to the song.

  59. A.... H....

    This is 1,000,000,000 times better than the original, in my opinion of course. this version just sticks in my head just right, so much better. the sam version is so boring, it doesnt have that sparkle ellie adds

  60. Y.... B....

    Like If you agree this version feels so natural and pure

  61. b.... ....

    Meh, OK, but I prefer Sam Sparro's version. Her other songs are good though. :)

  62. z.... ....

    99% of her songs are fucking written by her, and look her singing up live, she is british and has an accent, hater much?

  63. R.... G....

    Next time when you are searching for the Sam Sparro version, consider writing it on the search engine.

  64. J.... ....

    Fuck sake her singing is FLAT. Sam Sparro all the way.

  65. L.... ....

    WTF why does it say ellie goulding?

  66. c.... b....

    yes i am addicted to sam sparrows version but i am also loving her style so we shall all say they both are not equal but awesome to the top with no fear

  67. M.... ....

    Dopeyoda fuck u this is good shit

  68. d.... ....

    The original by Sam sparro has so much more soul. . Fuck this version.

  69. T.... E....

    I love her voice, but I don't think it suits the beat/instrumentals behind it. Feels like a clash of styles...

  70. B.... L....

    I love this song. It may be another remix but better even though I only like original songs

  71. z.... ....

    this is shit, and I hate lazy cunts that can't write their own songs. Or pronounce english properly for that matter. MOSHUN HERP DERP

  72. R.... B....

    This beat is waayy better!

  73. R.... B....

    This sounds soooooo much better than sparos version!

  74. R.... B....

    Its better this way

  75. s.... ....

    raping the replay button...

  76. M.... S....

    After listening to this and then going back to Sparros, i feel like his is too slow

  77. W.... S....

    This song is meant to be slow and smooth.

  78. R.... ....

    Not everything electronic is dubstep, young padawan.

  79. S.... ....

    Doesnt beat original

  80. M.... ....

    She so popular now?
    I mean, it took her years. I danced to her stuff in 09

  81. A.... ....

    If i saw Sam Sparro's original version first i would probably agree that his version is the best, but I saw this first, so Ellie does it better. imo ;)

  82. G.... R....

    Wow, I watched this video before she became popular and this video had only like 50,00 views. Now it has lik 2,000,000! crazy...

  83. W.... ....

    hahahahahaha

  84. L.... R....

    Terrible

  85. L.... H....

    sam sparro will always be the best at this song.

  86. c.... ....

    I love Ellie!!!! :) <3

  87. M.... P....

    I like how this was a remake and it has more views than the original artist

  88. l.... ....

    lovely...

  89. C.... J....

    sounds annoying. sorry ellie

  90. A.... W....

    this fucking sucks

  91. M.... ....

    tomps op

  92. M.... ....

    dobstop yasyas

  93. J.... E....

    no doubt

  94. A.... S....

    I still enjoy the wonderful warm bass rumble of Sam Sparro's voice... Sorry Ellie, but not bad though!

  95. A.... A....

    its not sam sparrow its sam sparro!

  96. B.... J....

    Go take a lap and think about what you just said.!
