French dreamgaze/atmospheric/progressive/post-metal duo Cløudy Skies (ex-Eyes Front North) has shared a new video for the track "Gleams And Ghosts" from its recently released album Changes. The band describes the track as a perfect breath to the heart of the album and which gathers a balanced atmosphere between sweetness, melancholia and harshness, offering a moment of introspection, imagination, and dreams for the listener. The song explores another facet of the band's music, the sensitive one.
The song's guitarist and lyricist, Nicolas Simon, shares his memory of the song's genesis: "We had written most of the songs for the album, but there was one we couldn't finish. I guess the mood was different on it... and when it happens you have two choices: leave it a few days and work again on it or leave it forever. We chose the first option and we really don't regret it! Eventually, it took us longer than the others to achieve but once the melodies and the lyrics matched, it became a damn fine beauty (Lionel did an incredible job on it): a jewel in the album and we are really proud of it. This is why it was obvious we would choose 'Gleams And Ghosts' for the band's first video".
The music video for "Gleams And Ghosts" was directed, shot, and played by the band's longtime friend Nicolas Marrocco (also known as Marok or Badaja) during winter 2022 in Etretat, Normandy, France. The video transposes the story from a lonely house in the woods to the beach and sea, aligning with the song's themes of expectation and hope.
