Cover Of Clouds

from Autumn's Desire (EP) by Sean Peever

/

about

Written around the mid to late 90s and barely played live except for a few shows around the time that I wrote it. Cover Of Clouds is a slightly jazzy love song (and a favourite of Canadian singer-songwriter extraordinaire Blake Walters) in which the song’s protagonist has a crush on a woman who looks like the self-portrait of Joni Mitchell on the cover of her 1968 album, Clouds. This came from my own experience at the time, as I too had a crush on a woman who looked similar to Joni on the cover of Clouds (thus the song title). As the opening lyrics state, I bought the CD of this album because it had the songs Chelsea Morning and I Don’t Know Where I Stand, a song I’d previously enjoyed in a version done by Fairport Convention, and because I was interested in hearing some of the odd open guitar tunings that Joni employed.

It's inclusion on Autumn's Desire is due to the fact that it was inspired by me falling for that woman during the autumn, even though the lyrics don't explicitly state any seasonal connection (aside from her "green autumn jacket"). To be honest, the album didn’t captivate me all that much, and I sold it at some point. Besides, the crush didn’t amount to anything. However, I got a worthwhile song out of the experience, and, in my book, that’s just the bees’ knees.
