A collaboration between Israeli singer songwriter אביב גפן(Aviv Geffen) and British musician and producer Steven Wilson. Two years back and forth on the London-Tel-Aviv flight path, a mutual artistic curiosity, and a close friendship are the components that gave birth to Aviv and Steven's Blackfield project. אביב גפן, a highly successful solo artist and outspoken (not to mention controversial) peace campaigner, with a string of gold albums in his own country, discovered the music of Steven's band Porcupine Treein the mid 90's and followed their career development. In 2000 he invited the band to perform some concerts in Israel and met with Steven in London to discuss the idea. Something clicked and before long they had already collaborated on the very first Blackfield song.

Cloudy Now Lyrics

Blackfield

in a violent place we can call our country
is a mixed up man
and i guess thats me.
the sun's in the sky
but the storm never seems to end.
its a place of sorrow but we call it a home.
and the darkest thoughts
yeah, i guess they're my own
there's wealth in the bank
but there's nothing to show inside.
its cloudy now (x3)
its getting cloudy now
in a special place
that i call my life
the father was cruel and he lost his wife
but i don't see either
cause i live across the street
its a beautiful thing
when it starts to rain
a man who drinks just to drown the pain
and i can't stop from dreaming
there's something else.
its cloudy now (x3)
its getting cloudy now..
we are a f*cked up generation
it's cloudy now
a f*cked up generation
it's cloudy now
we gotta get out of here
it's cloudy now
a f*cked up generation
it's cloudy now ...
