3 min read
Life can be cruel and sometimes makes it difficult to even enjoy the basic stuffs it provides but whatever happens never let life deprive you of enjoying yourself, being truthful and finding love. I have got a song here that is gonna change your music taste forever, see the beats are catchy, hooks are lovely and above all you gonna get yourself soaked in the song’s themes. It’s a song from Romana Lezaic and Torsten Mauss, the creative minds and talent behind the band “Cat & Mauss”, who actually met during the time of the Covid lockdowns, then made their debut album “Tales from the Desert, Tales from the sea”. An album which was inspired mostly by old western movies and David Lynch’s songs, well now they’re back again with a new song titled “Gold”, a song that talks about life, truth and love, which will remind you of the encounter between PJ Harvey and Clint Eastwood in the movie “The Vast Expanse of the Desert”.
Now this song Gold is one detailed masterpiece of art that will leave you wowed and wanting for more. The song starts off beautifully with these amazing church bell sounds which then translates into the beats where the drums crashes in and take centre stage. Then as the song progresses, the vocals pops in and ride on the beats with the drums laying low and coming in when needed. The beats gives you this vibe from SYML’s where’s my love. As soon as you hit that play button, the beats immediately catches your attention before the vocals even begin. “Gold” tells a very beautiful story of a western tale about love, redemption and a lot more. Then as the song progresses the lyrics touches on a phrase golden sunrises which actually symbolizes hope and new beginnings. Love can be cruel and also the best thing, the song lay emphasis on the emotions which you carry as gold that’s weighing you down. Sometimes we hold unto a lot of stuffs soo much that instead of being prescious they become a problem. The feeling of missing that person you adore soo much, how you yearn for them and you long to be with them, but here you are filled with their absence and now you grappling with the hope of being redeemed. The song set against a backdrop of a soul-stirring melodies, leaves you to contemplate and with hope you’d find your lost soul once you surrender in love. See the song is soo emotional and very introspective, and anyone who listens to this song can’t help but admit that this a beautiful piece of art that took a lot of time, dedication and talent to birth it.
Well Cat & Mauss’ “Gold” is a masterpiece of creativity, deep lyrics, poetic delivery and emotionally filled. It’s a song that has a door of no return the moment you hit the play button, it’s addictive, slow paced and very soul-piercing. One thing I love about the song is it’s vocals, man it’s soo soothing and smoothly delivered. So why don’t you go ahead and put this on repeat and yearn for that person. Have a wonderful weekend and ENJOY!! Make sure to check them out on the links below for more;
