Goldfish Swallow Fetish



Las canciones de José González no tienen muchos arreglos, ni son muy elaboradas. Puede you have people who will seem too simple, but with a few chords and voice José González is able to create warm and close. Music quiet and calm, at times intense, always speaks of love and stirs emotions.

The first song I heard he was in the famous Heartbeats Sony Bravia ad. Everything I've heard then I liked the same way. Indeed, the original song is the Swedish group The Knife .

Heartbeats (Veneer, 2003)



One Night To Be Confused One night
to speed up truth
we had a promise made
four hands and then away
both under influence
We had devine scent
to know what to say
my mind is a razorblade

To call for hands of above
to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
for me, no

One night of magic rush
the start a simple touch
One night to push and scream
and then releaf
Ten days of perfect tunes
the colors red and blue
We had a promise made
we were in love

To call for hands of above
to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
for me, no
To call for hands of above
to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough

And you,
you knew the hands of the devil

And you,
Kept us awake with wolf teeths sharing

Different heartbeats in one night

To call for hands of Above

to lean on Would not be good enough for me
not
To call for hands of Above
to lean on Would not be good enough


Hand On Your Heart (Stay in the Shade, 2005)

This song not only has a breaking point so simple the heart but the video is lovely, the story takes place in a Japanese style illustration.



Well it's one thing to fall in love
But another to make it last
I thought we were just beginning
And now you say we're in the past

Look me in the eye
and tell me we are really through

You know it's one thing to say you love me
but another to mean it from the heart
And if you don't intend to see it through
why did we ever start?

I want to hear you tell me
you don't want my love

Put your hand on your heart and tell me
it's all over
I won't believe it till you
put your hand on your heart and tell me
that we're through
Put your hand on your heart

They like to talk about forever
Most people never get the chance
Do you want to lose our love together Do you find
a new romance

I need to hear you tell me you don't


want my love Put your hand on your heart and tell me it's all

over I will not believe it till you put your hand on
your heart and tell me That We're Through


Put your hand on your heart hand on your heart


Look me in the eye and tell me
Are we really


Through Heart on fire (In Our Nature, 2007)

This topic José dumps a little over their Latin origins. Actually born in Sweden (in the year of the best vintage, 1978) but is the son of immigrants argentinos. La letra es más desgarradora y el vídeo también.



What's the point
if you hate, die and kill for love.
What's the point with a love
makes you hate and kill for.

You've got a heart on fire,
it's bursting with desires.

You've got a heart filled with passion.
Will you let it burn for hate or compassion.

What's the point
if you hate, die and kill for love.
What's the point with a love
makes you hate and kill for.

What's the point
if you hate, die and kill for love.
What's the point with a love
makes you hate and kill for.

You're killing for love.
You're killing for love.

You've got a heart on fire,
it's bursting with desires.

You've got a heart filled with passion.
Will you let it burn for hate or compassion.

What's the point
if you hate, die and kill for love.
What's the point with a love
makes you hate and kill for.

Killing for love.
Killing for love.
