The world is full with silly love songs...

...but this is not one of them. Upon closer inspection, this single from Aussie-born soul girl (at heart, anyway) Sam Sparro sprinkles disco dust on a song about the existence of god and the meaning of life rather than some silly crush, which make the lyrics all that much more poignant. Check out the slickly produced video, with lyrics printed beneath:

If the fish swam out of the ocean
and grew legs and they started walking
and the apes climbed down from the trees
and grew tall and they started talking

and the stars fell out of the sky
and my tears rolled into the ocean
now I’m looking for a reason why
you even set my world into motion

’cause if you’re not really here
then the stars don’t even matter
now I’m filled to the top with 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 wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold

i looked up into the gray sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but black

i feel a way of something beyond them
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’m filled to the top with 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 wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold

The rest of the albumn is just as bright and brassy, and socially conscious, it's decidedly funk-ified songs espousing on such popular topics as water shortage, pollution, hunger and famine and the importance of recycling.
