Gold Skies
Gold Skies marks a key collaboration in Martin Garrix’s early career, bringing together Sander van Doorn and the duo DVBBS, with vocals by Aleesia. Released in June 2014, the track blends big room energy with a more emotional and melodic topline, creating a balance between festival power and radio appeal.
Driven by a progressive build and a euphoric drop, Gold Skies stands out for its uplifting atmosphere and catchy vocal, making it one of the most recognizable tracks of that period. The combination of Garrix’s production style with the influences of Sander van Doorn and DVBBS resulted in a polished, festival-ready anthem that quickly gained traction.
The official music video was filmed in Iceland and follows the story of a young couple, set against dramatic natural landscapes that reinforce the emotional tone of the track.
Gold Skies also gives its name to Martin Garrix’s debut EP, released on July 8, 2014. The EP includes several of his early standout tracks and captures a defining moment in his rise, just months after the breakthrough success of Animals.

See the smoke when the sun shines
We will forever be faded under gold skies
Captivated in your cold eyes
We will forever be faded under gold skies
See the smoke when the sun shines
We will forever be faded under gold skies
Captivated in your cold eyes
We will forever be faded under gold skies
Coming up, coming down, look at all this love we found
Just the sun, feel me now, we will live forever
Coming up, coming down, look at all this love we found
Just the sun, feel me now, we will live forever
Coming up, coming down, look at all this love we found
Just the sun, feel me now, we will live forever
Coming up
We will forever be faded under gold skies
