The expansive “Clouds” was the first single, taken from a lengthy suite heard in its entirety on the album. “That song came out of all the time I’d spent flying,” says Gates. “I’d flown a great deal, and I found it really pretty up there, looking down on the clouds. But it also had to do with traveling and being away from home so much.” Despite its airily appealing melody, “Clouds” only rose to #47.
