Introduction
The first time I heard “Fountain” by Sweet, I was immediately drawn into its unique sonic landscape. There’s something almost magical about how this song manages to capture your attention from the very first note and doesn’t let go until the final fade-out. It’s one of those rare tracks that feels both fresh and familiar at the same time, like meeting someone new who somehow already understands you.
What makes “Fountain” truly special is how it balances technical brilliance with raw emotional power. The intricate instrumental work creates a perfect foundation for vocals that seem to reach directly into your soul. I still get goosebumps during that bridge section where everything strips back before building to the climactic chorus. It’s musical storytelling at its finest.
Behind the polished production lies a song with genuine heart. The lyrics dance between metaphorical depth and stark honesty, exploring themes of renewal and transformation that resonate with anyone who’s ever sought a fresh start. The fountain imagery works perfectly as both a literal reference and a powerful symbol of life’s continuous flow.
Sweet’s artistic evolution is beautifully showcased in this track. You can hear echoes of their earlier work, but there’s a newfound confidence and maturity that signals their growth as musicians. The band has clearly poured themselves into every aspect of this song, from the meticulously crafted arrangement to the emotional delivery.
Whenever “Fountain” comes up on my playlist, I find myself hitting repeat more times than I’d like to admit. It’s the kind of song that reveals new layers with each listen – a hidden guitar flourish here, a subtle vocal inflection there. That’s the mark of something truly special in music: it grows with you, changing its meaning as you bring your own evolving experiences to each listen.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of Sweet or discovering them for the first time through “Fountain,” this track stands as a testament to music’s power to move us, challenge us, and ultimately connect us to something larger than ourselves.

Lyrics
If I could make a wish
I’d throw a coin in the fountain
But fantasies don’t always come true
And if I had no dreams
I’d never climb the mountain
The hand of fate will always be reaching out for you
Like gold your love is the rainbow’s end
Flyin’ high like a bird in the sky
Your love is the rainbow
Colours of love in the sky
I’ve been saying all my life
I don’t believe in magic
But fountain of faith I’m putting my trust in you
Circles on the water
From the coin that’s sinking slowly down
My future’s reflecting my destiny’s calling out to you
Like gold your love is the rainbow’s end
Flyin’ high like a bird in the sky
Your love is the rainbow
Colours of love in the sky
Well, how much time do you need?
The fountain holds the key
To unlock the love deep in your heart
I have kissed the waters lips
And now we’re floating free
With no love before this new life can start again
Like gold your love is the rainbow’s end
Flyin’ high like a bird in the sky
Your love is the rainbow
Colours of love in the sky
