SO GOLD - JEM

On the subject of relationships, I'm sharing this love song I wrote and produced from my 60s throwback album 'Beachwood Canyon'.

You never know what's going to spark a song or when, and even though I didn't release this until 2016 I actually wrote SO GOLD years before.

It was influenced by a tragic 9/11 experience I had staying with a beautiful family in NY while recording my debut album 'Finally Woken'. My friend lost her husband, the love of her life that day, and her three amazing young sons, their wonderful father. Who incidentally LOVED music (Pink Floyd was his favorite band :)

Soon afterwards when I was back in the UK I randomly saw the heartwarming movie 'Hope Floats' one Friday evening and right after it finished I went straight upstairs and wrote this song.

It's bittersweet as is life, and will always hold a special place in my heart. It's always worth remembering to treasure what you have now, every second, be grateful, as you never know how long it will be here 💞🙏

SO GOLD

From summer to autumn
As if it's a race
The seasons are changing
And so is life's pace

And I'll always cherish
The time that we spend
'Cause nobody knows
What's round the next bend

And I'm lost forever
When I look in your eyes
Yes I'm lost forever
And the feeling inside
Is So Gold
Oh, So Gold

From autumn to winter
The darkness moves in
But with you around me
It feels like it's spring

And I'll always pray for
Life to go slow
'Cause nobody knows
When it's time to go

And I'm lost forever
When I look in your eyes
Yes I'm lost forever
And the feeling inside
Is So Gold
Oh, So Gold

From spring into summer
The cycle's complete
But time waits for no one
And it starts to repeat

And I'll always treasure
Every second we get
'Cause I feel the same way
As the day we first met

And I'm lost forever
When I look in your eyes
Yes I'm lost forever
And the feeling inside
Is So Gold
Oh, So Gold
Oh, So Gold
Oh, So Gold
