While on tour with BYU Singers, I felt particularly overwhelmed by the new gradual invasion of obsessive thoughts. My mind was populated with cloudy, fuzzy, negative thoughts. During a concert, I became increasingly aware that this "illness" may not ever go away. All I wanted to do was run off the stage and wallow in my self-pity. At the end of the concert, we began singing a song titled "Unclouded Day."
Oh they tell me of a home far beyond the skies
They tell me of a home far away.
Oh they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise.
Oh they tell me of an unclouded day.
I couldn't take it any longer. Tears flooded my eyes.
Even though our life is filled with clouded, long, hard days, there will be a day when our lives will be unclouded and my mind will be cloudless.
Wow. What a glorious day that will be.
this is beautiful, jenny.

'sunny days, sweeping the clouds away.
on my way to where the air is sweet.'
the air is sweet.
and 'after the storm.' by mumford.
