Song of the Week

Stay Gold - First Aid Kit

This song is a little bit of an oxymoron. I have another favourite song by Sting that is this kind of oxymoron - it’s one of the saddest songs about failing as a father, but set to a deceptively uptempo country lilt.

Stay Gold is also wonderfully uplifting and upbeat. But it is about that one of the hardest questions that artists often face:

“What if our hard work ends in despair,
What if the road won’t take me there?”

The challenge is to stay gold. Stay true.
