<h3>Can you help me understand something in the following sentence?</h3>
"I've been involved in music for 30 years I've never anywhere near having a gold album but when we went up to play East Timor's independence concert and there was 10 thousand East Timorese kids singing the words of Liberdade back to us I wouldn't trade that for anything."
I want to know the meaning of:
1- I've never anywhere near having a gold album
2- went up
3- back to us
4- I wouldn't trade that for anything
<strong>East Timor best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by Carter</i><br/>1 - a "gold album" is given to a musician that sells a certain number of albums
2 - went up can just be read as went
3 - the kids repeated what was sung or sang with the band
4 - the feeling he had when the kids were singing with him was very good and he wouldn't want to feel any other way</p>
