GOLDFISH STREAM TRIBUTE TO UNSUNG US HERO RODRIGUEZ ‘SUGAR MAN’ (GOLDFISH REMIX)

[Download the ORIGINAL here: http://smarturl.it/rodriguezitunes ]

Thanks to the 2012 Oscar-winning documentary ‘Searching For Sugarman’, the incredible tale of American recording artist Sixto ‘Jesús’ Rodriguez has been heard by millions of music fans worldwide.

Unheard of, forgotten, virtually ignored in the US, Rodriguez was revered and idolized in South Africa, where his censored ‘Cold Fact’ album became a political touchstone for thousands of South Africans fed up of apartheid and racial inequality in their country.

Themselves one of the most successful recording artists in South African history, live electronic band and MTV winners Goldfish have chosen to celebrate Rodriguez’ work ahead of their US tour by remixing ‘Sugar Man’ from ‘Cold Fact’. 

The pair’s reworking is as sensitive to the original subject as it is beautiful. For those fearing an EDM revamping, nothing could be further from the truth. The deep, dreamy remix is testament not only to Goldfish’s high-end production and composition skills, but also their close affinity to and understanding of the track. The hazy, heady, almost hallucinogenic spirit of Rodriguez’ ‘Sugar Man’ is still very much intact, in parts stripped down to a few lush piano chords, other times sweeping the listener up in a warm envelope of sound and emotion, Rodriguez’ haunting vocals guiding the single the entire time.

Dave Poole and Dominic Peters, who fly out to Rodriguez’ home country after their sold out ADE Special with Bakermat this Thursday, (available to view live on Be At TV here) spoke about why they decided to pay tribute to one of South Africa’s highest grossing artists.

“Going over to America as South Africans, it made sense to highlight the biggest connection for us between the two countries.” Poole said. “For any South African, Rodriguez is as legendary as they come and we all grew up knowing his music. He’s an icon.”

For decades, South African fans thought the folk singer had committed suicide. Wild rumours circulated varying from him shooting his brains out on stage, to setting himself on fire in front of a horrified audience. The truth, it turned out, was that the man ‘Cold Fact’ co-producer Mike Theodore deemed “better than Dylan” was working as a construction worker in Detroit. A curious and enigmatic figure, he had absolutely no idea of the impact or commercial success he’d enjoyed thousands of miles away on another continent. 

“It’s kind of crazy thinking about just how influential Rodriguez has been on generations of South Africans – including us,” Peters said, “and he never knew a thing about it. For us there was no better way to show our love and appreciation for a man that really was only about the music, than to put our twist on one of his greatest tracks. We hope people enjoy it and we hope that it introduces his music to a whole new audience in the process.”

Lyrics: 
Say a prayer for me 
Let my body sleep tonight
You were there for me girl
Standing by my side
Turn the page for me
I’ll see you on the other side
Know that there’s a place for me girl
Alright

Say a prayer for me
Would you do it? I could use it
Say goodbye for me
I'm moving
Say a prayer for me
Would you do it? I could use it
Say goodbye for me 
It’s time

Say a prayer for me 
Give me love and peace of mind 
Leave me gracefully girl
I pay my debts tonight
Time has come for you
To place your hand in mine
Know that there’s a place for me girl
Alright

I’ll take you further
I’ll take you further down tonight

Say A Prayer For Me

All Your Love

Rewind to find you
Caught by a low moon
Wide eyes bright blue
In high tide and cold water

With my heart in your hands 
Don't let go 
With my heart in your hands 

All your love it keeps me safe
All your love completes me
All your love it makes me stay 
You're the love I needed

The fine lines drew you
Now see right and see through
To wide eyes bright blue
In high tide and cold water
