The ep ends on a note of sci-fi whimsy. These are clouds that control everything we do on earth. Sometimes little things go wrong Why? High Aptitude Clouds! Do not confuse them with chemtrails. That's completely different. The musicians had the most fun on this one and it features the largest number of players as well. The hootenany feel we wanted is best achieved here. The chorus fills me with great pride. It was a very late addition in writing these songs.
lyrics
Did you ever notice how so many little things go wrong?
Say yeh, yeh, yeh/ aw yeh, yeh, yeh
Ever get the feelin’ that someone has got it all worked out?
Say yeh, yeh, yeh/ aw yeh, yeh, yeh
Chorus:
Floating so gently
So High up in the sky
So High up in the sky
All your little problems have their roots in something you can’t see
Say yeh, yeh, yeh/ aw yeh, yeh, yeh
Now has come the time for you to look up and observe the skies
Say yeh, yeh, yeh/ aw yeh, yeh, yeh
Chorus:
Floating so gently
So High up in the sky
So High up in the sky
