#3/10 singles out today! 'Low Clouds'

June 09, 2023 / Cecilie Anna

“Low Clouds” is a song Cecilie Anna has written for favourite voice Will Oldham. What captures her about his singing is how it portrays a whole person, not only the glammed-up parts. We are more weekdays than Saturdays. It’s about discovering a different kind of beauty. The hardest kind of all, perhaps, because it means loving yourself and others exactly how we are.

The song itself can be perhaps be experienced as a bit dark, but we cannot ignore these questions that sometimes haunt us, because we are alive, and we don’t exactly always know how or why, or what’s beyond when we go. Hope starts when we dare to express how we feel, especially the times when we don’t have the answers. More of that.

Cecilie Anna can hear voices in her head, in a positive and creative way: Favourite voices soundtrack her life and can be experienced almost like sung conversations in her head. Will Oldhams' voice accompanied her for the first three days of her vacation on Crete in 2019, and they made "Low Clouds" sitting at a restaurant looking at the mountains.

All sounds on the track by Cecilie Anna.
