Skope video submission: Saint, “Only On A Cloudy Day”
“There’s something about a cloudy day,” Saint says about the track. “While others get the blues from the gloominess I see it as the perfect day to be inspired. Cuddle up for a little bit, stay in your pajamas, light up the doobie, and watch some cartoons before you hit the studio. Sunny days are great too, don’t get me wrong, but as a December baby I got to stick to my cold weather, and cloudy days is where I draw the inspiration to this song from.”
