The Gold it’s in The… (Waters, Gilmour) 3:07
Come on, my friends,
Let’s make for the hills.
They say there’s gold but I’m looking for thrills.
You can get your hands on whatever we find,
Because I’m only coming along for the ride.
Well, you go your way,
I’ll go mine.
I don’t care if we get there on time.
Everybody’s searching for something, they say.
I’ll get my kicks on the way.
Over the mountains, across the seas
Who knows what will be waiting for me?
I could sail forever to strange sounding names.
Faces of people and places don’t change.
All I have to do is just close my eyes
To see the seagulls wheeling on those far distant skies.
All I want to tell you, all I want to say
Is count me in on the journey.
Don’t expect me to stay.

About the Song
“Gold It’s In The…” is a track from Pink Floyd’s 1972 album “Obscured by Clouds,” which serves as the soundtrack to Barbet Schroeder’s film “La Vallée.” The song is one of the more straightforward rock numbers on the album, marked by its catchy riff and more conventional song structure compared to the band’s other more psychedelic and progressive works.
“Gold It’s In The…” captures Pink Floyd’s ability to blend driving rock rhythms with their signature atmospheric sound. The song, from their album “Obscured by Clouds,” diverges from their typical experimental style, delivering a more direct and accessible rock track.
Opening with a compelling guitar riff from David Gilmour, the song immediately sets a tone of exhilaration and pursuit. The lyrics, sung by Gilmour, speak to the allure of material wealth and the human desire to seek out and chase down treasures, be they literal gold or other coveted experiences in life.
Roger Waters’ bass and Nick Mason’s drums provide a solid backbone to the track, propelling the music with a sense of urgency that mirrors the quest for opulence described in the song. Meanwhile, Richard Wright’s keyboards add a layer of sophistication, ensuring the track retains that distinct Pink Floyd touch.
In the film “La Vallée,” the song underscores scenes of adventure and exploration, aligning with the movie’s themes of discovery and the characters’ journey through the exotic landscapes of Papua New Guinea.
“Gold It’s In The…” stands out as a lively and engaging moment on “Obscured by Clouds,” showcasing Pink Floyd’s versatility and their capability to craft songs that are both catchy and thought-provoking.
