About This Track
'Cloud' by Basement is an Alternative track from 'Promise Everything (Deluxe)', released in 2017. The lyrics cast a tender, self-effacing plea for another person to hold and lift the singer, using the image of standing on a cloud, and wanting to be brought down and steadied in someone else’s care, with the aim of easing pain and helping them breathe. It builds from yearning into direct requests, ending with the desire to be shown.

About the Artist
Lyrics
I was standing on a cloud, Hoping to fall down, And land beneath your feet, For you to walk on me, And follow close the line, With each step across my spine, So I can take the pain, To help me breathe. Slowly, Lift me if you can. Hold me, In the centre of your hand. Show me, What it means to be a man. Slowly, Close your fingers down.

Basement are back with what might just be their best album yet.
Each track is quick to entwine with and then tug sharply on your heartstrings.
Basement have the album they’ve always wanted.
It’s Download time, guys. Three days of mud, trying to survive the wonderful British weather, and some of the biggest bands in rock. It’s always a weeke...
