GOLD - Original Video analysis

Spandeau Ballet - Gold (Original) and Lyrics








This is the original music video for "Gold" by Spandeau Ballet. It features the band lip-synching and playing the song, with the lead singer, Tony Hadley, chasing a girl who's stolen one of his golden puzzle pieces. We will make use of a few features of their original video, such as the costuming. In the original video, Tom Hadley wears a suit and also makes us of taking off his sunglasses for dramatic effect which we think is effecting. We also like how gestural he is, reflecting the strong beats of the music, so we think we may do a similar thing to this, but really overdo it, almost like a spoof. 


Lyrics: 


Thank you for coming home 
I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn 
I left them here I could have sworn 
These are my salad days 
Slowly being eaten away 
Just another play for today 
Oh but I'm proud of you, but I'm proud of you 
There's nothing left to make me feel small 
Luck has left me standing so tall 
Gold 
Always believe in your soul 
You've got the power to know 
You're indestructible 
Always believe in, because you are 
Gold 
Glad that you're bound to return 
There's something I could have learned 
You're indestructible, always believe in 
After the rush has gone 
I hope you find a little more time 
Remember we were partners in crime 
It's only two years ago 
The man with the suit and the pace 
You know that he was there on the case 
Now he's in love with you, he's in love with you 
Love is like a high prison wall 
But you could leave me standing so tall 
Gold 
Always believe in your soul 
You've got the power to know 
You're indestructible 
Always believe in, because you are 
Gold 
Glad that you're bound to return 
There's something I could have learned 
You're indestructible, always believe in 
(Musical interlude) 
For love is like a high prison wall 
And you could leave me standing so tall 
Gold 
Always believe in your soul 
You've got the power to know 
You're indestructible 
Always believe in, because you are 
Gold 
Glad that you're bound to return 
There's something I could've learned 
You're indestructible 
Always believe in
