about

Lyrically written like a short story Dark Clouds initially appears to be about about loss and separation but soon hints at more. It paints an uncomfortable picture of a very dysfunctional relationship. Screams and curses ring out in a hot summer night until one of them leaves - even storming out without her keys. She isn't coming back. The final insight into their car crash lifes hints at that she is leaving more than the just narrator. The tale is told accompanied with a riff that drives throughout the song barely pausing for a moment. The song features the singer’s wife helping out on backing vocals.

lyrics

Looking out across the landscape, days have passed still starring into space. Two months roll and she’s still gone, people tell me that its time to move on. Dark clouds descended from nowhere one night, one August night. We fought like and cats and dogs until we’d run right out of fight. She left our home without a trace, just another missing person case. I heard that people had called her trash, they whispered stories of her chequered past. Dark clouds descended from nowhere one night, one August night. We fought like and cats and dogs until we’d run right out of fight. Her forgotten things still haunt the room: a set of keys and a flower that’s lost its bloom, the chorus of her favourite tune, a broken-nail and a blackened spoon. Dark clouds descended from nowhere one night, one August night. We fought like and cats and dogs until we’d run right out of fight.
