So Back in January I was already keeping an eye on Covid 19 (I don't think it was called that yet) I was on some off the grid forums and among other things there was a lot of underground footage of what was going on in Wuhan.
I made a song and a video inspired by this footage. The Name "Gray Cloud" is a reference to the Chinese spraying disinfectant in Wuhan. (Can be seen in the video)
I am really happy with how it turned out and it's gotten a positive reaction from friends I've shared it with.
This is the vocal version
This is the Instrumental version which has a lot of different footage.
It would be great to get feedback on both the song and it's integration of the video footage.
Here are the Lyrics:
I went downtown, to the city
the streets were empty dread hung in the air
They sprayed gray clouds, like holy water
Like chasing demons, hoping for a prayer
They blocked the exits, weld shut the doorways,
the Camara’s watching No one’s safe to stray.
We’ve heard the rumors, of burning bodies
Some say still moving, an ugly price to pay
I see you now, in the basement waiting for your prey you wait
I watch you now, plant the virus, then you walk away
I dream you now, in the corner waiting for your Day
I know you now bring the chaos make it all decay
Hoax they say…games are played
Markets crashing…Mask in fashion
Keep your distance… and be careful what you say
You can’t run, you can’t hide
This cloud is such a Dark thing
Empty Empty Empty
Hot to the touch
Hot like a fever
Hot like emotion
Empty Empty Empty
I see you now, in the basement waiting for your prey
I watch you now, plant the virus, then you walk away
I dream you now, in the corner waiting for your Day
I know you now, you’ll pick up the pieces, and take it all away.
