  Are You R ? (abraham cloud)
  
  Why do the coolest kids in high school wind up pumping gas while the nerds sell their dot coms for billions of dollars. Cloud answers this by examining his own idol R, a poet of brutality. R in essence is like a lot of modern heros, a total sociopath, maybe even a psychopath. A rockin' song in the vein of the Replacements.

  When You Go Down
  
  Many modern music lovers recall their first introduction to Kesha hearing her sing "When You Go Down," on FloRida's smash hit, "right round." Not too many have heard the amazing rock song by Abraham Cloud also called, "When You Go Down" Sounding like one of Neil Young's early hits its jangly guitar rock weaves in perfectly with Cloud's twisted perspective on fame, "Why Can't I be in every window, every day of the year ? " And the main hook, "I will always be the one who sticks around, when you...

  The Promise of Saturday
  
  The opening line sets the stage in Abraham Cloud's epic song, "Sometimes when I can't sleep at night I draw the shades and look outside. Rows of rooftops, all exactly the same, cover people who will never change." The Promise of Saturday sounds like a combination of Dylan and Ryan Adams. Like two generations of Acoustic commentators met and agreed the situation was unchanged. "Ice cold beer and a Sunday Drive, the promise of Saturday can keep you alive."

  Clouds by Abraham Cloud
  
  This song first appeared in 1998 when it was played at a fairly high profile funeral but we have to credit Sofia Dianysma for finding the original recording and making this video. It is a strangely haunting concept that people die and become clouds , forever circling the earth and looking down at what their survivors are up to. Possibly the ultimate check and balance of nature. Matter is never created or destroyed and good songs have a way of finding their way to the surface. There's traces of...

  God (by Abraham Cloud)
  
  This is one of the most amazing ballads ever written . It's sort of like if Radiohead and Neil Young got together. The haunting refrain, "I can't tell anybody what happened to me," gives me shivers whenever I hear it. "God came down from heaven yesterday, gave me something everyone else threw away."

  Santa Claus by Abraham Cloud
  
  Another astounding little masterpiece off of Abraham Cloud's , "The Children of the Milkman." This is an amazing little lyrical trip. "I've got every disease known to man, waiting patiently inside me, to surprise me when I least expect it."

  All The Nice People by Abraham Cloud
  
  Pink Floyd once wrote, " Quiet desperation is the English way." Abraham Cloud's version says,"Softly you call out to no one there at all, slowly you fade into nothing." A little bit like the Beatles "For No One" , All The Nice People," is a stark, riveting ballad that slices into the loneliness and isolation of any market-based economy.

  Teenage Acne by Abraham Cloud
  
  Remember wishing it would just go away ? How in the world could life get anymore miserable or complex than a teenager with an outbreak of acne. When the approval of others is crucial and you live and die on a thousand little judgements passed by peer groups every day, teenage acne is deadly. In the words of Abraham Cloud, "It takes a twelve pack of beer just to look in the mirror."You get the feeling that the singer has taken a lifetime , "trying to get over a very bad case of Teenage Acne."

  Say It Like You Said It
  
  With all the slow groove hand claps of a London Squat party, Abraham Cloud re-creates a mood and era with the exacting precision of a master sculptor. If you've ever heard Eric Burdon's , "Spill the Wine," you will probably enjoy this Sixties style Rap song. There's no urgency , or major social issues , just a slow rolling groove about better days. It's War, Malo, Lou Reed and Sinead O'Conner all rolled into one . It's a very stoned cab ride through a rainy Soho morning. It's one of the last r...

  1974 by Abraham Cloud
  
  Thanks to Angelina Mitzen for this lyrical video of Mr. Cloud's 1974. Check out the heavy Lennon psychedelic influence. Makes me wanna take off in a VW Buss and join a commune. The song seems to be about an end to the world which happened in 1974, and the fact that we are all continuing in some kind of a dream world where we imagine what we once had and it re-appears. "I guess every tree , lives on in memory, and memories never die they just get better
