The song Gold Can Turn To Sand by Josh Groban tells the story of two brothers who set out on a journey to find their fortunes during the gold rush in America. The younger brother follows the older brother, who has high hopes of striking gold. They face many hardships and challenges along the way, but the older brother continues to believe in their dream. As they journey through the desert, they become lost and the younger brother becomes increasingly concerned about their situation. They are both thirsty, desperate and tired. The older brother becomes very weak and leans on his younger brother for support. The younger brother encourages the older one to keep going and teaches him the Song of the Ocean Wave, which is a song that gives hope and encouragement in difficult times. Eventually, the older brother becomes too weak and dies from drinking poisoned water from a well. The younger brother is devastated by the loss of his brother and reflects on the harsh reality that gold can turn to sand, meaning that your dreams and hopes can be shattered and destroyed. The story is a reflection of the dangers and risks people take in pursuit of their dreams, and how easy it is for everything to fall apart. It also highlights the importance of companionship and the bond between siblings, and how we rely on each other for strength and support.
