About Blue Bucket of Gold

As the closing song to "Carrie & Lowell", “Blue Bucket of Gold” doesn’t offer much closure. Sufjan reaches out to his surroundings for support–his friends, his faith–and finds nothing of note. He closes the album musically in an aura of sombre lament and lyrically by pleading for a promise that someone will be there for him like his mother never was. The song gets its title from The Blue Bucket Mine, a lost rumored treasure site somewhere in the Oregon wilderness. .
