Clouds Must Cry

Verse 1

Can you tell me how it's so

some things I want to know

Like how do birds fly

And loving lips learn to lie

As I'm walking through this land

I Just don't understand

you faded with a parting kiss

Disappeared like a morning mist

Pre-Chorus

Do stars see our hopes and fears

Can they wipe away our tears

Can clouds see even more?

Can they feel how we fall?

I think, even clouds must cry

Chorus

If even stars can fall

Can they hear my call

If even clouds must cry

Do there tears run dry

I think, even clouds must cry

Verse 2

Stars sleep in silence as they soar

Do they hear all we swore?

They've watched our kisses and goodbyes

Love and rage and alibis

Do they even see our fears

Or care about our tears?

They shine above the rights and wrongs

They watch us stumble, sing our song

Pre-Chorus

Do stars see our hopes and fears

Can they wipe away our tears

Can clouds see even more?

Can they feel how we fall?

I think, even clouds must cry

Chorus

If even stars can fall

Can they hear my call

If even clouds must cry

Do there tears run dry

I think, even clouds must cry

Bridge

Words once danced like candlelight

But flickered out in silent flight

I speak them now into the air

Hoping the stars might care

[solo]

[Chorus - male and female vocal sung in unison. Male an octave below female.

If even stars can fall

Can they hear my call

If even clouds must cry

Do there tears run dry

I think, even clouds must cry

Even clouds (even clouds)

Must cry

Even clouds (even clouds)

Must cry

Verse 3

Even shadows speak your name

But nothing answers all feels the same

I ask the moon at night

If hearts return at first daylight

No answer but a sigh

Maybe, Even clouds must cry

But when hearts break and voices die

I think, even clouds must cry

Suno Prompt

English Eddie Band - Soulful English

Tempo : 120bpm.

Key : A Major

Genre : A laid-back rock song with a jazz club feel.

Mood : The vibe is raw and honest, like a tight pub band that plays with soul but never shows off.

Vocal: All vocals must be British English accent. Male and female duet sharing the lead vocal. Vocal is relaxed, light, breathy, whispered, mid-range, laid-back. Backing vocal adds beautiful harmonies and melodic supporting lines. Most of the song is two voices singing together where the male is an octave below female.

Bridge is quiet and whispered.

Instrumentation:

The song is led by an electric piano playing tight rhythm chops with jazz inspired but still simple fills.

Clean electric guitar playing adding melodic, tasteful jazz inspired lead and fills.

Drums are simple, minimal, dry, and intimate-no reverb, echo, rattle, or hi-hat - sounding muted as if they have towels on drums, cushion in bass drum.

Bass is warm, clearly heard, and vintage, playing melodic arpeggios, not just root notes.

Saxophone contributes raw, honest fills.

Production : The overall sound is clean and unfussy. All instruments should sound like jazz players doing session work-tasteful, restrained, soulful.
