"Dark Cloud"
There’s no sun today, all the sky is grey
(the weatherman said that there might be rain
but were really not sure what the day will bring)
I know you could complain
but just have some faith, it all could change
Every Cloud has it's Silver Lining
Spot the misty rain, turns the Weathervane
(You may wanna take your umbrella and coat
you don’t want a cold or a bad soar throat)
and though it’s not all that great
you’ll just have to wait, you’ll just have to wait
Every Cloud has it's Silver Lining
(in such a Magical way)
It will be God's perfect timing
Every Cloud has it's Silver Lining
You can count on it soon shining

VERSE EFFECT
After writing the lyrics over I found there was a large middle section missing words. I never loved how this section was performed so I decided to write some other lyric that was to be sung or spoken coming from a small "radio".
KEY WORDS
After rewriting these section I found that it made the entire support verse stronger. So I decided to go into the other verses and exhaust myself . I look for "key words" words like
Weatherman
Weathervane, misty rain
umbrella and coat, soar throat
complain, faith, change
VERSE EFFECT
I always wanted to have the tail end of a sentence 'echo' or 'delay' after the last word is sung. So I found this song was perfect to try it on. I had to struggle for about 20 minutes to get the right type of echo until I felt it was comfortably sitting in the track.

MISSING GUITAR
Lastly I wanted to add some acoustic guitar and spent on hour on it but was not happy with my performance and threw it out.

"Dark Cloud"
There’s no sun today, all the sky is grey
You might, think it’s a waste
but just have some faith
it’s not gonna to stay
Every Cloud has it's Silver Lining
Drops of mystery rain, pave the darkened lane
and though, it’s not that great
It's not much longer, that you'll have to wait
Every Cloud has it's Silver Lining
It will be God's perfect timing
Every Cloud has a Silver Lining
It will be God's perfect timing
Soon, you’ll stop and say,
“Look all these clouds, have gone away”

This song is highly influenced by the work of Madness's "The Sun and the Rain", "Dreaming Man", Harry Nilsson's "My Old Desk" and the Beatles "Benefit of Mr. Kite" but think I am finding my own voice and sound. This kind of swing feel has a certain piano + drum groove that is hard to get just right.
The passing notes on the baseline going down and following it to where ever it may lead you. "Good Old Desk" does the same thing with the chords moving two measure and later same thing but twice as fast.
