Song Meaning of “Cloudy Day” by Gene Summers
“Cloudy Day” by Gene Summers is a lament about how an individual can feel isolated and alone on a cloudy day in which nothing is going right. The narrator cries out for solace and comfort, seemingly to God, in a plea for hope and a better tomorrow. He sighs that the day has caused his heart to be sad and heavy, and that he feels forsaken and desperate to have some light in his life.
The song can be seen as addressing the need to have faith and courage to carry on, despite feeling “alone and so confused” and desperate for something to light the way. Even when days are cloudy, it is possible to have the strength to endure and to find a sliver of brightness. The narrator ultimately sings about how on these difficult, gloomy days, they take solace in the belief that eventually the sun will shine through the dark clouds and that tomorrow will be better.
