Backstory: Finished Cloud was formed in 2013 by college friends Alex Cooper on guitar and vocals, Lisa Shaw on drums, and Tom Hillman on bass. Each member had their own musical background and influences, but they found common ground in their shared love for indie rock and atmospheric music. Practicing in their college dorm rooms, they honed an ethereal and emotive sound that quickly gained popularity on the local scene. The band was named Finished Cloud as a metaphor for the completion of their creative process – the music they create represents a cloud that has finished forming and is ready to rain down its musical showers on audiences.

Title: “Melting Skies”
**Full Song Lyrics:**
[Intro: G – Bm – Em – C]
(Verse 1)
[G]Underneath the melting skies, [Bm]we trace our dreams,
[Em]In the whispers of the wind, [C]among the trees.
[G]Casting off our earthly ties, [Bm]to break the seams,
[Em]In the glow of twilight’s last, [C]we become free.
(Chorus)
[G]Finished Cloud, we sing aloud. [Bm]Dreams take flight,
[Em]Underneath the melting skies, [C]on this starry night.
[G]Finished Cloud, in music shroud, [Bm]we find our light,
[Em]In the glow of twilight’s last, [C]in the dead of night.
(Verse 2)
[G]Beneath the moon’s soft eerie glow, [Bm]we write our song,
[Em]On the tapestry of night, [C]where we belong.
[G]In the silence, we let go, [Bm]for nothing’s wrong,
[Em]As the Finished Cloud unfolds, [C]we sing along.
(Chorus)
[G]Finished Cloud, we sing aloud. [Bm]Dreams take flight,
[Em]Underneath the melting skies, [C]on this starry night.
[G]Finished Cloud, in music shroud, [Bm]we find our light,
[Em]In the glow of twilight’s last, [C]in the dead of night.
[Bridge: G – Bm – Em – C]
(Outro)
[G]As the Finished Cloud unfolds, [Bm]we sing,
[Em]In the glow of twilight’s last, [C]we bring,
[G]Music from our hearts that hold, [Bm]a ring,
[Em]Of dreams that never grow old, [C]and everything.
