about
Beverly Matujal's powerful vocals and honest songwriting continues in her sophomore single, 'Goldmine', off her upcoming full-length album 'Promised Land'. In the track, Beverly tells it like it is and addresses the issue of trading yourself for material riches. People will find the sassy, upbeat number to be a step outside Beverly's usual comfort zone of mellow tunes, but it ultimately shows off her versatility as an artist and provides a taste of what is to come with her album.
lyrics
Fame and fortune,
What you promise me
Big wide world,
Kneeling at my feet
But hold your horses,
Don’t even let them in
Keep your empty promises,
You know you can’t buy me
You can’t buy me
(Chorus)
Your love’s a goldmine, oh,
Your love’s a goldmine, oh,
Your love is gold,
But you can’t buy me, no
Life is simple,
Don’t need more than just—
A little love,
Maybe honesty
All your treasures,
Don’t mean a thing to me
So keep your empty promises,
You know you can’t buy me,
You can’t buy me
(Chorus)
All your crowns,
All your jewels,
All your riches,
Can’t buy real love
(Chorus)
