Liquid Love
Richard Bedford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ache for you my love
Call this a liquid love
Rain down on me
(You should have come over)
Your love slips through my hands
Drowning in liquid love
Rain down on me
I call out your name (You should have come over)
Your love is chasing through my veins (You should have come over)
Such a foolish game (You should have come over)
Your love's no good for me, good for me
But it makes me happy
(Makes me happy)
I wait for you my love
I ache for you my love
Call this a liquid love
Rain down on me
I call out your name (You should have come over)
Your love is chasing through my veins (You should have come over)
Such a foolish game (You should have come over)
Your love's no good for me, good for me
But it makes me happy
The lyrics to Richard Bedford's "Liquid Love" describe a love that is all encompassing, like rain pouring down and drowning the singer. They wait and ache for their love, which they describe as "liquid," slipping through their hands like "sinking sand." Despite recognizing that this love may not be good for them, it still brings them joy and happiness. The singer calls out their lover's name, feeling their love chasing through their veins like a drug. They acknowledge that it's a "foolish game" to continue with this kind of love, but they can't help themselves.
The metaphor of liquid love is powerful and evocative, representing a kind of love that is overwhelming and difficult to control. The imagery of drowning in love is both beautiful and frightening, reflecting the depth of the singer's feelings. The repetition of the phrase "you should have come over" is both plaintive and accusatory, suggesting that the singer's love is unrequited or at least unfulfilled.
Overall, "Liquid Love" is a song that explores the intense emotions that can come with love, even when it's not practical or healthy. The singer is swept away by their feelings, unable to resist despite knowing the potential consequences. It's a beautiful and haunting exploration of the power of love, and the ways in which it can both lift us up and pull us under.

TRI-STATE is still the best electronic dance album.
This is one of those albums that I let it play through without skipping tracks.
A true masterpiece 👏
Trance is not produced like this anymore.
I am glad to have been around to see the evolution of trance music from 1999-2013
I will never forget their set at Nocturnal 2008 & Electric Daisy Carnival 2010.
Talk about goosebumps...
