It's Gold Outside

by Jesse Blake Rundle

about

It started out as an idea of a victory song. Like trying to see how there's all this good stuff out there in the world, how gold is not a currency but a thing that comes from the earth. And I was thinking of Emily Dickinson's poem "Certain Slant of Light", but instead of the oppressive light in her poem, the slant of summer light that pulls everyone out on bikes and neighborhood walks. And we accidentally start smiling sometimes.

The percussion is almost all "sounds of summer" that came from suggestions from friends. After tracking the vocals and guitar in July, I sent it out to a few folks and asked them what sounds make them think of summer. Knives chopping veggies, bike tires spinning, grass crunching, pots boiling over, etc. I ended up trying out a couple dozen suggestions and most of them ended up on the track.
