[intro] [Energy: low] [Instrumentation: low distorted bassline, tape humming] [Vocal style: fragile, whispered close-mic baritone] Sun shining, bright blue sky Nothing wrong, feeling fine Just an ordinary day… [Verse 1] [Energy: low] [Instrumentation: quiet distorted electric guitar, mellotron flutes] [Vocal style: Melodic, relaxed baritone] [Backing vocals: Haunting echoes] Walking slow, no rush at all Coffee warm, my favorite song Everything was going right Then the wind picked up the fight (picked up the fight) [Verse 2] [Energy: low] [Instrumentation: Mellotron strings only, dusty vinyl crackle] [Vocal style: Spoken word, dry baritone narration] Suddenly, one little sting One small move, one heavy thing Suddenly the sky turned gray Like the sun just walked away (walked away) [pre-chorus] [Energy: medium] [Instrumentation: sudden build-up, guitar feedback and distortion swells] They say clouds have silver lines Not the ones that hang on mine [Chorus] [Energy: high] [Instrumentation: sudden loud explosion, wall of fuzzy distorted guitars, heavy drums, mellotron] [Vocal style: passionate, gritty overdriven baritone, distorted CB-radio mic] [Backing vocals: Haunting nasal female backing vocals] Clear sky trouble, falling fast No warning, no forecast One moment bright, the next one black Storm rolls in, no turning back Clear sky trouble, out of nowhere Ruins my day, leaves me there (leaves me here) [Verse 3] [Energy: low] [Instrumentation: Sudden drop back down to quiet, bass and slow drums only] [Vocal style: Melodic, whispering baritone] Tried to laugh, tried to shrug But the weight stayed on my chest Thought the worst was lived and done Turns out trouble’s never gone (never gone) [Interlude] [Style: Abrasive, screeching, chaotic guitar solo with beautiful melodic phrasing] [Instrumentation: Steady low bass and drums continue underneath] Just when I thought I was free Here it comes again for me [Chorus] [Energy: high] [Instrumentation: Wall of fuzzy distorted guitars, heavy drums, mellotron] [Vocal style: passionate, gritty overdriven baritone, distorted CB-radio mic] [Backing vocals: Haunting nasal female backing vocals] Clear sky trouble, falling fast No warning, no forecast One moment bright, the next one black Storm rolls in, no turning back Clear sky trouble, out of nowhere Ruins my day, leaves me there (leaves me here) [Outro] [Energy: low] [Instrumentation: Music slows down, fading fuzz distortion, lingering guitar feedback ring] [Vocal style: Melancholic, fragmented baritone narration] Sun was shining, now it’s gone (Now it's gone) Clear sky trouble… moving on (Moving on…) What was left? (To live it on…) [Audio glitch and sudden stop] [End]
