Gold

Gold is the ending song for Episode 3 of RWBY, and is incorporated in the RWBY Volume 1 Soundtrack.

Composition
Jeff Williams has cited contemporary Japanese music, such as J-pop and anime openings, as an influence for Gold. As such, the song is upbeat both musically and lyrically, with lines like "Don't you worry about the dark, I will light up the night with the love in my heart" and "I will keep you safe and warm".

Musically, Casey Lee Williams's vocals are backed by a rich arrangement of keyboards and light percussion. In contrast to the song's general upbeat feel, the two verses following the second chorus are softer and sadder in tone, backed by a soft fingerpicked guitar.
