Lyrics
LOVE IS NOT MADE OF GOLD
LEAD VOCAL: Jimmy Gnecco

Love is not made of gold
No matter what you’ve been told
It’s nothing but a lie
It’ll begin to rust
Tarnish and turn to dust
Where once it used to shine

Cause it’s only an illusion
A cruel trick of the light
Blinding your sight
And that warm sweet delusion
Will soon enough turn cold
Crumble and corrode
Love is not made of gold

Love is not built to last
It shatters just like glass
Time and time again
No more precious than jewels
Just a game that’s played by fools
That always ends in pain

Yes it’s only an illusion
A cruel trick of the light
Blinding your sight
And that warm sweet delusion
Will soon enough turn cold
Crumble and corrode
Love is not made of gold

It’ll turn a beggar into a believer
Build a shrine
And fall to his knees
Cause it all glitters until
It deceives you
Curse the day
That he finally sees

Well it’s only an illusion
A cruel trick of the light
Blinding your sight
And that warm sweet delusion
Will soon enough turn cold
Crumble and corrode
Love is not made of gold

Robert DeLeo is one of the best song writers of all time

[normagarbo]

Jimmy is one of the best singers I ever had the honor to have as a voice student, and I've taught many Grammy award winners. His performance last night in NYC at Rockwood was stunning!! He is the most genuine performer on the earth!!!

[jankymcjangles]

Wow, thanks Beato for sending me here <3

[ottomatic]

It's unfortunate that you have to put in work and search to be exposed to good new music nowadays. I just stumbled on this and I am filled with joy to find such a good song. I love STP. This is slightly different, but very enjoyable. And I can relate.

[mleslie]

Jimmy Gnecco💗 so in love with this mans voice!! Since first listening to Distorted Lullabies 2001? Good on ya Robert de Leo!

[ZumaDogg]

What a classic and a treat. Sounds like 1973.

[WhizMitchell]

Wow. As a long time STP fan, I am blown away at how great this sounds. It’s musically perfect! Jimmy’s vocal contribution, fantastic. They should’ve made him front man of STP!

[toddliggett]

Robert is an unbelievable talent. The more I delve into his work the more I am impressed.

[sebastiandiaz]

Congratulations Robert, I´ve known how talented he is becase I play bass and I´m a huge STP fan so I knew all his contributions to the band (way more than bass lines which are also great). However many people don´t know this, this album is a great way of really understand it.

Love this! I was privileged to see Jimmy with OURS when they first started. He did a little acoustic concert behind Exit Inn in Nashville for us crazy fans that were so taken by his talent! I purchased this song yesterday and have it on a loop! Love, love, love it!

[MichaelKeelphotography]

Can't stop listening to this album. I always felt Robert is the soul behind STP. He's just an amazing songwriter to me. There's always a memorable part I'm humming. And this song??? What else is there to say? Perfection, movement, depth. Jimmy's vocals are extremely touching, they just take you on whatever journey you're experiencing while listening. I love the other song on the album too called What Will Be. I think Robert should have him sing on all his future solo albums. LOL. Seriously. Great songwriting on this album.

[Are]

Not many knows, but Robert is the "real" mastermind behind STP. Amazingly intelligent and eclectic musician!

[castlevamp]

@jimmygnecco love you brother. Amazing, just amazing 🎶❤️

[carlosi]

THAT is how a song is written!!! Mr. Robert De Leo!!

[skulleagletartat]

Please play a show in SoCal; entire album is dope, keep making records🤙

[Chattosaurus]

This really showcases Robert's skills as a songwriter and his grasp of melody. The singer absolutely nails it too! Can't wait to listen to the rest of the album.

[mikematthews]

Man... this is some really good stuff!

[-Donuts]

Great song, Robert has made a ton of awesome music.. Great singer as well.

[AndalusianIrish]

Listened to the album after Rick Beato interviewed Robert. It's stunning.

[Vestascension]
