I never minded when it rained my shirt soaked/ Call me when you catch your breath again," reflect a theme of grieving and presence. Williams sings of letting moments linger, a reminder to savor the present. The song is the second on the album and also serves as the title track.
Lick The Spoon, Let It Soften comprises 13 tracks, with "Clover" as the second. The album delves into themes of love, grief, and the importance of the moment. An alternative version of "Clover," titled "Clover (Slow)," is also included in the release. Pre-orders for the album are now open on the band's website.
