INCREDIBLE

You say, "It must be you, the common thread"
"You're the reason that the other loves are dead"
You paint my past in shades of my own blame
A subtle way to stoke my silent shame
You say, "A real love wouldn't act this way"
Then watch and wait for what I have to say

And you quote "partnership" and "what is fair"
But your conditions leave me standing there...
With all the pieces of a soul you're trying to break.

You say, "This is not how it's done, in a love that's true"
Then in the next breath, tell me you "have no choice but to"
You say you're "only trying to help me be my best"
While tying anchors to my chest
You say, "Who are you? I don't know you anymore"
As you're the one who's slamming shut the door
You had your part to play, but now the curtain's fallin'
And I'm not answering your callin'.

You praise her discipline, her form, her frame
A not-so-subtle way to fan the flame
You say, "I couldn't leave, the fear's too great"
"To be alone with such a lonely fate"
You talk of "shared gardens," "shared expense"
It's just a web of false benevolence

And you claim "strength," but then you cry and plead
A tangled, twisted, selfish, desperate need...
For a guarantee I never could, and never would, make.

You say, "This is not how it's done, in a love that's true"
Then in the next breath, tell me you "have no choice but to"
You say you're "only trying to help me be my best"
While tying anchors to my chest
You say, "Who are you? I don't know you anymore"
As you're the one who's slamming shut the door
You had your part to play, but now the curtain's fallin'
And I'm not answering your callin'.

All your "helpful" questions were just traps in disguise
Your "sacrifices" were your own compromise
You wanted me to beg, to prove my worth to you
But the greatest truth I learned is this: your fear is not my truth.
You said the rules were always mine, a selfish, cruel design
But the only rule you had was "You must always still be mine... on my line."

You SAID that's not how it's done, in a love that's TRUE!
But your "no choice" was always just a lie to keep you safe with her, not me and you!
You weren't trying to help me be my best, you were trying to CONTROL my chest!
I know who I am, and I am NOT the one you knew before!
I'm the one who's walking out the door!
You had your part to play, and now the play is done!
And I'm not running... I've already won.
It was never about love.
It was never about love.
It was always about control.
And I... am letting go.

The secret is officially out. An electronic duo from the Southern-most tip of Africa have gone from one of Dance Music’s best kept secrets to an act tipped by industry tastemakers as the band to watch this year.
Their genre-defying mix of live instruments, House beats and searing live performances has seen Goldfish go from impromtu jams at a tiny beach club in Cape Town to headlining Amsterdam’s Olympic Stadium, cracking a top 10 on the US iTunes Dance chart, a residency at Pacha Ibiza with David Guetta and DJ’s like Fedde le Grand knocking at their door to do remix their tracks. It’s almost hard to believe that not very long ago they were just Dom and Dave, two music students who lived a relatively chilled life of surfing and playing music in their home town Cape Town.

All that really did change when they decided to record an album. Not having a record deal or much money, they simply locked themselves in a bedroom...with a double bass, a saxophone and a couple of synths, recording their debut Caught In The Loop on their own. A charming dance record that received massive support from the international dance music scene, desperate for something fresh and new. Pete Tong even called it his Ibiza Poolside Album of the Summer.

The two guys quickly found themselves maintaining gruelling international tour schedule that saw them play sold-out shows from Amsterdam to Miami, from the Sydney Opera House to Sao Paulo, in-between still finding time to mix the covermount CD for DJ mag international, garnering a record-breaking 8 SAMA nominations, numerous number ones radio at home, as well as performances at Glastonbury, Sensation White, Ultra Festival Miami, 46664 and Get Loaded in the Park amongst others.

They even got their hands on a residency to die for; Friday night at Ibiza super-club Pacha. Here they developed their sound further and presented it on their second album Perceptions of Pacha. As no other album, Perceptions Of Pacha captures the carefree vibe of the magical island of Ibiza, with their track Fort Knox cracking the Top 10 on the US iTunes Dance Charts. Following that up with the SAMA award-winning album Get Busy Living featuring the smash Youtube hit video We come together that garnered millions of online views for it’s hilarious and ground breaking animation work that has become a Goldfish trademark.

With props coming from everyone from Dr Dre, Sebastian Ingrosso, Pete Tong, Sander Kleinenberg, Fedde Le Grand and Faithless, watch this space. The Re-invention of the DJ has arrived.
