Shed Seven are an EnglishIndie Rock band from York and were one of the groups which contributed to the Britpop music scene that evolved during the 1990s, yet never received the degree of mainstream success achieved by bands such as Oasis and Blur. They formed in 1990 and originally comprised Rick Witter (vocals), Joe Johnson (guitar and keyboards, later replaced by Paul Banks), Tom Gladwin (bass) and Alan Leach (drums).
They belonged to the post-Smiths wave of UK musicians such as The Sundays and Marion, with a sound relying heavily on complex guitar arpeggios often in a minor key, and wailing vocals. At the height of their popularity between 1994 and 1999 they had fifteen Top 40 singles and four Top 20 albums in the UK. The band officially broke up in 2003, but reformed for a greatest hits tour in July 2007. The band have continued to play shows around the UK periodically but have not released a new studio album.
Going for Gold is a British televisiongame show that originally aired on BBC1 between 12 October 1987 and 9 July 1996. It has since been revived for Channel 5 from 13 October 2008 to 20 March 2009.
The original series
Going for Gold was originally broadcast on BBC1 from 12 October 1987 to 9 July 1996, usually, after the lunchtime broadcast of Australiansoap operaNeighbours. It was presented by Irish broadcaster Henry Kelly, and its defining concept was that it featured contestants from different European countries who competed against each other to answer questions (all in English) to win a prize. The show was shown on BBC1 in the UK and on Super Channel (later NBC Super Channel) in Continental Europe and on BBC TV Europe (which carried a mix of BBC1 and BBC2 output up to its dissolution in early 1991).
The 1987–1996 run of the quiz show each week had seven contestants that spoke English (each representing a different European country) who would compete against each other for a place in the finals. The show followed a repechage format (now common, but then, unusual), whereby unsuccessful contestants from Monday's show would return on Tuesday, and so on throughout the week. Each episode lasted for 25 minutes, including four rounds.
Going For Gold is a singles compilation album by the British rock band Shed Seven, released in May 1999 via Polydor Records. The album features sleevenotes written by Mark Sutherland, the former editor of Melody Maker, who refers to the LP as the band's "Best of Album", whereas the album artwork itself carries the sub-title The Greatest Hits.
Background
As well as compiling the band's singles from 1994 to 1998, Going For Gold featured newly recorded versions of two previous releases, "Dolphin" and "Ocean Pie", alongside brand new material in "Disco Down" and "High Hopes". "Disco Down" went on to become the last Banks-era hit for the band when issued as the album's lead single, two weeks prior to its release, whereas the follow-up single, "High Hopes", was never issued.
Like "Disco Down", the song was initially included in the album's tracklisting with the intention for it to be issued as a single, but was sidelined post-album release by the band's record label in favour of a proposed re-issue of their 1996 single, "Going For Gold". Following the band's refusal to comply, Shed Seven and Polydor Records parted company in late 1999, as "High Hopes" became the only track featured on the compilation which was not a 'hit' single, and Going For Gold became the band's final album release during their time with the label.

I never said never ever
You took the words right out of my mouth
Is the sea your sunshine have we been told
The sea is you lifeline you're going for gold

Or are you going for gold

You took the shine right out of my smile
Is the moon your nightime have you been sold
The moon is your lifeline you're going for gold
You took the shine right out of my smile
While my mind is blind again

"Love Army" is the stirringly soulful Independence Day release off of the Going For Gold album. This hauntingly melodic track reaches into your soul shaking loose all of your pain and suffering, while freeing up your spirit to join in the one cause every single individual can proudly stand up for -- Love.
The message of this heartwarming charge is irresistible and echoes a resounding truth that 50 years of unity has proven time and again; together in peace and harmony a nation of many races working respectfully together can create a life of unimagined and endless bounty.
From inception, the dream for this song was one of togetherness and a fusion of strength, which would only come about if a multitude of like-minded creators were to work as one. Keron 'Sheriff' Thompson, the producer and writer of the track contacted Machel Montano in the hopes of assembling the perfect team of collaborators to bring fourth his vision. In the end a very formidable force consisting of Machel Montano, KI, Benjai, Patrice Roberts, Isaac Blackman, Kimba Sorzano, Fya Empress, Kerwin Du Bois, Farmer Nappy, and Iwer George was amassed.
As the harmonies intertwine and the distinct sounds of many beloved artists flow to the listener, one is reminded that with love as your driving force there is not a single barrier or boundary you may face that cannot be overcome!
