In a Facebook post, Belle says that Black Clouds is ‘Maybe my favorite song on the record. I wrote it 2 summers ago in LA when I accidentally stumbled upon this super dorky logic drum sample that had this kind of radiohead-ish groove to it. I didn’t have a mic on me so I sang the original demo into...
[Verse 1]
How many of you out there?
Somebody ran you down
Got you running in a round and round
Somebody hurt you
Now you're living underground
Just a comma in a decimal town, anyway
[Chorus]
I was thinking I could love you
I was thinking I would try
The black clouds hanging above you
Will follow me tonight
[Verse 2]
Who would have ever thought of it
Autumn, it pulls apart
Primary colors that we know by heart
So what's the rush for?
If it's good, it never goes away
Or was that just something that we used to say
Used to say
[Chorus]
I was thinking I could love you
I was thinking I would try
The black clouds hanging above you
Will follow me tonight
[Bridge]
We were wrong about you
Every step without you
Every hole that I fall into says
I belong, that I belong
We were wrong about you
Every step without you
Every wall that I run into says
I belong, that I belong
We were wrong about you
Every step without you
Every wall that I run into says
I belong, that I belong
[Chorus]
I was thinking I could love you
I was thinking I would try
The black clouds hanging above you
Will follow me tonight
