Till Sunrise (feat. Mammals)

Goldroom's 'Till Sunrise (feat. Mammals)' is a dreamy, ethereal track that captures the essence of fleeting moments and the desire to hold onto them. The song opens with a vivid image of clarity in the west, suggesting a sense of direction and purpose. The 'slipstream' metaphor evokes a feeling of being carried effortlessly through time and space, hinting at the ease and natural flow of the connection between the two individuals. The haze mentioned in the lyrics symbolizes confusion or uncertainty, but despite this, the meeting occurs, and there's a mutual understanding of what each person wants.

The recurring theme of dreams being 'a world away' highlights the distance between reality and fantasy. The narrator acknowledges that their dreams often feel unattainable, yet there's a deep yearning for them to come true. The line 'I'd be living a lie if I didn't say' underscores the importance of honesty and the courage to express one's true feelings. The wish for the other person to stay 'till sunrise' signifies a desire to prolong the magical moment, to keep the dream alive for as long as possible.

The song's bridge introduces a sense of ambiguity with the mist and daydream imagery, questioning the reality of the experience. The sunbeam represents a new beginning or a moment of clarity, as they open their eyes to a new day. This juxtaposition of dream and reality, night and day, creates a poignant narrative about the transient nature of beautiful moments and the longing to make them last. Goldroom's signature blend of electronic and indie elements, combined with Mammals' soothing vocals, enhances the song's dreamy atmosphere, making 'Till Sunrise' a captivating exploration of love, dreams, and the passage of time.
