    KNOWING YOUR ORDER WITH CLOUDSTRONG INDUSTRIES LTD.
    This Cloudstrong product was folded, stamped, packed, recorded, produced, written, played & posted by the sensitive hands of Big Cloud themselves so be sure to use disinfectant after every use.
    The "Stop! Smoke! Listen!" poster & some of the other visual stuff was the work of close Cloudbro & smashing fella Emil Blum.
    The music was mastered by a man in Sweden called Hakan Akesson.
    Props to the trees for growing such fine card for us and all the squids who contributed ink.
    Props to you for giving a good goddamn.

    HOW DO I KNOW MY BIG CLOUD IS WORKING?
    Big Cloud should make you feel like a fucking princess. Like the kind of royalty they name a brand of cat food after.
    Big Cloud should make you feel like you're having a Cleopatra milk bath, but on an Aldi's budget.
    If your Big Cloud doesn't appear to be working then try adding some of your own imagination or try to increase your tolerance of poor musicianship.
    You may also get improved results by listening in the very early hours of the morning when your mind is at it's most vulnerable, or immediately after a good cardiovascular work out such as fighting cunts or shagging.

    WHAT DO I DO IF I'VE TAKEN TOO MUCH BIG CLOUD?
    Leading vets have been unable to reach a consensus on whether it's possible to take too much Big Cloud, but if you suspect you have done so, it's better to take some more anyway just to totally make sure. If at that stage you physically can't stand any more Big Cloud then at least listen to something incredible as fuck like Songs Of Innocence by David Axelrod or Easter Everywhere by The 13th Floor Elevators, then revert to Big Cloud in an even bigger dosage than before.

    WHAT IS IN MY BIG CLOUD?
    Big Cloud is:
    5mg of longing for simpler times
    1 ounce of disappointment
    2 stone of love
    6.8 grammes of glow sticks
    3 kilograms of hope
    Half a pound of facial hair
    3 bags of narcolepsy
    1 unconscious collective
    A chilli sauce
    and 10g of playing 45s at 33rpm.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Stop! Smoke! Listen! EP via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Come In 05:09
I feel like going home now See there's something wrong here Don't feel like going over Or coming down now Or coming down now What he sees, it's only hope now Wait, I'm feeling better now Don't sleep Stay on the other side It's too hard to close your eyes She doesn't see me cry Come in, be found It's minutes She'll be around You'll see she doesn't have it all Be who you wanna be You'll be allright some day

Separate! The part that's you from you Recreate! The I and my you choose Sky is frozen Sky is frozen blue Don't look down See my point of view Who's to tell us why and who's to say Our frame of mind should always be this way? Sky is frozen Sky is frozen grey We soak it in Until it fades away Any excuse for reason Believe in what you believe in Any excuse for reason Believe in what you believe in Who's to tell us why and who's to say Our frame of mind should always be this way? Sky is frozen Sky is frozen grey SKY IS FROZEN SKY IS FROZEN GREY SKY IS FROZEN SKY IS FROZEN GREY SKY IS FROZEN SKY IS FROZEN GREY SKY IS FROZEN SKY IS FROZEN GREY SKY IS FROZEN SKY IS FROZEN GREY SKY IS FROZEN SKY IS FROZEN GREY

Vytamin Slop 05:13
I put my mind away No uses for it now And anyhow Times are good now it's not around She put my mind at rest She laid my mind to rest Nevertheless She's still the one who knows me best Aw, you unreachable It's all walls between It all slowly seems to leave me But some humblin' fear Just to get me through I told myself it's true And anyhoo Nobody nowhere could argue Aw! You unreachable It's all walls between It all slowly seems to leave me But some humblin' fear Was I so gullible To be told what is real And to be made to feel What's easy on me?

She's the chief and she lets you know That she's above and you're below But underneath the same old show It's easy to see She's the chief but it's all an act Thinks you're buttoned up the back She's painted bright, but inside's black Dead to me She's a thief and she knows she lies You can see it in her eyes And when she slips she's still surprised And she needn't be She's the centre round we all spin Pulls the strings to keep us in But playing games where no-one wins Soon, it gets old Ooooooooooh!

Come Down 08:21
I feel like going home now See there's something wrong here Don't feel like going over Or coming down now Or coming down now What he sees, it's only hope now Wait, I'm feeling better now Don't sleep Stay on the other side It's too hard to close your eyes She doesn't see me cry Come in, be found It's minutes She'll be around You'll see she doesn't have it all Be who you wanna be You'll be allright some day
