  • Heard dis sng a while back in Walgreens lol nd I ain't kno who it was til I saw karruches tweet bout it

  • His voice is AMAZING!!!!!

  • Moze byc

  • This is the best version !

  • Omg he is so gogeous!!! N he has an amazing voice!! Lol but I thought he was black

  • He has such a beautiful voice

  • This is my favorite song

  • I've had this song on my iPod for over a year and I just by chance looked this up. Was 100% sure he was black too.

  • @deadmat1 me too

    

  • I WANT TO BE HIS BEST FRIEND (:

  • love this song look at my channel

  • so much soul in his voice. love it

  • I thought he was african american. I love his voice

  • Aww why most of the fine men gay its not fair

  • @bzrwon If you listen to the song one part says "I look up into the night sky and see a thousand eyes starting back. All around these golden beacons, I see nothing but black." He means the stars and the night sky. Trying to find heaven, I imagine. Back when I thought he was a black dude, I thought it had something to do with that.

  • i love this song and this man is dripping talent, hope he never quits making beautiful music

  • he didn't write american boy, my bad, and as far as his orientation, i care, because it's one more fine man lost to the other team, don't worry about what I worry about.

  • love love love this song, especially this acapella version, but what the hell does "black & gold" mean?

  • @bzrwon it means God. or his God or higher power

  • He is amazing, I kinda figured he was gay if he wrote 'American boy'.

  • One of the best live performances ever at Glastonbury. Not even much of a fan but this video is so damn cool. The keys do it for me!!!!! Superb

  • Nice

  • I mean wow....I have listened to S.S songs & he is truly talented. I am a born again Christian, I don't need to support a human beings sexual orientation to respect their God given talent. Obviously we weren't made to be with the same sex but to hate is even more wrong. Youtube is a dirty place, don't cry about such things as Sam Sparro's hole of choice. I pray for you all, such sad creatures that argue online.

  • Smooth like a baby's bum!

  • Thought this was a brotha when I first heard it, it's dope either way

  • Emo man!

  • On this phone,the song wasn't movin' while the words were.

  • Amazing!

  • he's so beautiful. I love Sam Sparro!!!!!!

  • Holy fuck that was amazing. and why are all the hot guys gay!

  • perfect

  • @MaoriMeanMean

    He comes from Sydney, Australia. He was also singing backup in his fathers church so that may be why he sounds a but soulful.

  • Ahhh all the beat seem to come from Australia... Sam Sparro, Luke Steele, Nick Littlemore…

  • Well at least he's way better than Katy Perry.

  • he is cool and fit i love him

  • i need a new album from him!! <3

  • He's openly gay....

    Read Wikipedia. :)

  • I <3 This song =3 he is gorgeous

  • Man, he is cute and has a great! If he is gay, I am heartbroken :(

  • Cool sweater bro!

  • GOD PUT OUR MOUTHS ON OUR HEAD FOR A REASON!

  • @Girdz17 So we can have fun 69-ing?

  • Didn't think he was white! Lol, and he is pretty attractive if I do say so myself.

  • @greatsak I didn't know he was white either. He has a very soulful voice. Go Sam!

  • just wantin to know his nationality ?

  • I'm not trying to be rude... But I don't know he was white.. He has 5 stars in my book.. Lol 

  • the keyboard guy is wearing the almost-the-same clothes Sam wore at BBC LIVE LOUNGE! Anyway, Sam is just soo hooooot that I wish I were a gay...gosh!

  • What are exactly are the chords the pianist plays in this version? I mean I know it's in the key of Em... But he adds like 7ths and stuff. But, it still only sounds like he plays three or four chords throughout the whole thing... What are they? Anyone know?

  • @mjdrysdale : Em C Am Bm - he's aslo adding 7th and Diminished Jazz fingering around them.

  • fifa 09 ;-)

  • look the pocket :D:D i thing is big

  • He sounds the same on the live as does in the song, amazing!!!!!!

  • @skittlecheer religious song? sounds more darwinian than religious

  • i love both of there jackets

  • what are the chords the guy is playing?!

  • piano player is nice

  • All that matters is LOVE SAM beautiful he AM............ Talent major!!!!!! Who cares about anything else that goes on his life?

  • @camflame18 are you kidding me? I love Adam lambert, and yeah, he's hot but he can sing 6 ENTIRE OCTAVES. can you do that? No, because he's a true original.

  • Looooove this version even better than the recorded track!!

  • This is amazing for a religious song.. I'm an atheist but even I love this.

  • wow he's even amazing live. sheeet.

  • dude got crazy mad vocals

  • *Making my version now...*

  • great singer!

  • this song is golden, dont care if he's gay, awesome tune.

  • Orientation has nothing to do with great music....

  • @Recovrd1

    I wish that was true but to the media they try so hard to keep out gay/bi people. Although, Adam Lambert is different but that is because of American Idol and people are thinking out of the box.

  • @000sanin000 pfft. no they aren't. the only reason adam lambert is getting the shit marketed out of him is because he was the hearthrob on american idol. little did millions of teenyboppers know they were barking up a crooked stalk bahahaha. that's literally the only reason he has any songs on mainstream radio. people couldn't give a shit about other people's LGBT preferences when in comes to music.

  • love him HOT:)! AND HIS SONG

  • great sam

  • love this! I thoght it was a love song but it's realy about God! dope!

  • How is it about God? Just wondering..because I would like to know...how does black and gold correspond to God?

  • In a video interview, Sparro confirmed that the song's subject is his religious faith, saying "It is about God, yeah. [...] I do like to have faith in something that is bigger than me."

    Sam Sparro

  • everything is in the verse:

    "i look up into the night sky

    i see a thousand eyes staring back

    and all around these golden beacons

    i see nothing but black

    i feel a way something beyond them"

    god is both emptiness - blackness and he's those golden eyes staring at us or beacons leading us (stars).
