Liquid Gold

What is “Liquid Gold” about?

"Liquid Gold" imagines music as something poured, a golden sound spilling from the speakers onto the floor. The repeated request to "pour it slow" ties the image to a night that is just beginning to glow, and the short lyric trails off into echoed repetitions of the title rather than building a narrative. Third on Tide Clock, it picks up the golden imagery of the opener, "Golden Hour," and carries it onto the dance floor.
