Clouds Never Move

from OPHELIA album by Angeline Morrison

about

I spent a lot of time watching the sky as a child. One morning at infant school I was joined in this activity by a friend, a serious little girl. We watched in companionable silence for some time. Just before the bell went, she declared with great certainty that clouds never move. Now here was a problem. I had seen them move many times, with my own eyes. I knew that the clouds were always moving - yet faced with her absolute confidence, I found myself unable to speak my truth. This song is about always speaking our truth.

"Angeline Morrison's gorgeous new single is one of the softest and most succinct statements on speaking your own truth possibly ever recorded [...] 2020 needed a song like this one badly, in more ways than one". (Record Crates United).

"Haunting... Totally gorgeous" BBC Introducing SouthWest

lyrics

She said the clouds never, ever, ever move.
'Come watch awhile', she said, 'and I will have no need to prove'.

The tract of light grows dim, it creeps across the wall...
The clouds they move for me, but somehow I can't say at all,
Helen.

If you look into the sun, you'll see his heart is blue (few know this).
When the clouds turn tail they show their silver lining's actually gold.
Gold.

about

Angeline Morrison and The Ambassadors of Sorrow

"Bewitching and otherworldly... Morrison's voice is eerily confiding, strangely present, insistent even at its quietest" Folk Radio UK.

Believing in the beauty of sad songs, weaving folk, soul and beat sounds of the '60s into a tapestry of the human heart. Homespun sounds that reside in a nostalgic universe.

"Dark, unsettling folk that verges on the hymnal" BBC Introducing.
