“Overcast is about the moments you are trapped in your head. When you can’t seem to find your way out of a cave. It’s about when your thoughts are so loud and terrible it leaves you quiet. It leaves you numb. Overcast is not about the battle with your demons - it’s about how it feels to endure a wound from them.
”
The storyline and puppetry was created by vocalist/bassist, Kevin Silveira. The video has elements of fantasy that evokes nostalgia for Jim Henson's Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal, as well as The Neverending Story, Ferngully, The Princess Bride, and Gremlins.
