1) Liquid explosively emerged in 1991 with the seminal anthem 'Sweet Harmony', timelessly layering classic house over rolling, breakneck beats. This was followed by the pioneering and experimental 'Future Music' E.P. which included the dark and atmospheric breakbeat dub classic 'Liquid Is Liquid'.
Band members were Shane Henegan (DJ Model) and Eamon Downes (Ame) were joined for the first three ep's by producer Jezz Wright
Following Shane Heneghan's departure from the band after the first two releases, the liquid reputation for producing challengingly alternative floorfillers was cemented with 'Time To Get Up' described as a progressive gem and the balearic tinged, flamenco guitars of 'One Love Family' - both of which were mixmag singles of the week.
Liquid have, with top 20 singles in the UK, and european hit singles, achieved huge commercial success while maintaining critical acclaim. the nme describe the XL recordings album 'Liquid Culture' as "sophisticated, soulful techno" and mixmag effuse how it "works beautifully".
Liquid have perfomed live internationally in many countries over many years and after some time away are on the road again.
2) Liquid is also a slovak hard-rock band formed in 2005. This group consists of the members of the band Liquid Boogie Roll and singer Martin Androvič. They released their first album "Another Dimension" in 2006.
3) Liquid is also the stage name of R&B/Rap artist Victor Manuel Oquendo, who released his album "Tales from the Badlands" in 2005 off of Gotee records. Oquendo's tribute to the streets of Philly is his only studio album that has been released so far.
When The Sun Goes Down
Liquid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the middle of July
It feels it could be a hundred degrees
On the north side
Everybody's cruising
Man, it's a beautiful day
Ain't nobody tripping
When the sun goes down, down
Nothing is the same
When the sun goes down, down
The streets are not a game
It could be a good day
But that can always change
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
Walking through my neighborhood
In the middle of July
All the little girls and boys are playing
Outside
Oh, the water plug is on
Five O is on patrol
And as far as I can tell everything is fine
Till the sun goes down
When the sun goes down, down
Nothing is the same
When the sun goes down, down
The streets are not a game
It could be a good day
But that can always change
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
Listen here can I keep it real witcha?
I ain't a good rapper but I paint a good picture
So here it is it's my master piece
I see beauty in the ghetto when I walk these streets
The realist in the hood playin' it loud waving my flag
Screaming Puerto Rican and proud
I hold my head when I walk through the hood now
The Most High kept me safe when the sun went down
When the sun goes down, down
Nothing is the same
When the sun goes down, down
The streets are not a game
It could be a good day
But that can always change
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down, down
Nothing is the same
When the sun goes down, down
The streets are not a game
It could be a good day
But that can always change
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
The song "When The Sun Goes Down" by Liquid takes us on a journey through his neighborhood in the middle of July. As he walks through his neighborhood, he observes the beautiful weather, kids playing outside and people cruising. He hopes that everything stays that way, but as the day comes to a close and the sun goes down, things start to change. The police are on patrol, and everything that was beautiful during the day now turns dangerous. The lyrics paint a picture of how the streets can be deceptive, luring people in with beauty and joy during the day, but when the sun goes down, it's a different story. Life in the ghetto's constantly changing, and it's a game that never stops.
Liquid captures the essence of life in the inner city, where the day and night bring different experiences. The lyrics unravel the potential danger that lurks once the sun goes down, but also showcase the beauty of Liquid's neighborhood, where people come together to celebrate good times. It's a reminder that people can still find beauty and joy despite living in a world filled with danger and chaos.

Walking through my neighborhood
In the middle of July
It feels it could be a hundred degrees
On the north side
As I stroll outside in my vicinity during summertime, the sweltering temperature could reach boiling point on the darker side of my environs.
Everybody's cruising
Man, it's a beautiful day
Ain't nobody tripping
I hope it stays that way
All around me, locals are driving around and the weather is splendid. No one is causing trouble or acting reckless, and I hope it stays this way.
When the sun goes down, down
Nothing is the same
When the sun goes down, down
The streets are not a game
Once dusk hits, everything changes. The streets become a different place, and the world is no longer a friendly game.
It could be a good day
But that can always change
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
Even though it started off well, a peaceful day can shift to something dangerous once the sun sets.
All the little girls and boys are playing
Outside
Oh, the water plug is on
Five O is on patrol
And as far as I can tell everything is fine
Till the sun goes down
Children are playing joyfully outside while the fire hydrant is spraying water to give off a summer-like vibe. Meanwhile, police cars are patrolling the neighborhood, making everything appear perfect - but this feeling won't last long.
Listen here can I keep it real witcha?
I ain't a good rapper but I paint a good picture
So here it is it's my master piece
I see beauty in the ghetto when I walk these streets
Forgive me for not having the best rap skills, but I can describe the world vividly. This is my masterpiece, and as I walk through ghettos or poor neighborhoods, I do see beauty and good things amongst the chaos.
The realist in the hood playin' it loud waving my flag
Screaming Puerto Rican and proud
I hold my head when I walk through the hood now
The Most High kept me safe when the sun went down
I am the most realistic person around here, and I play my music loudly and proudly wave my Puerto Rican flag. When I walk through the neighborhood, I hold my head high because I know that the Most High has kept me safe from danger when darkness falls.
