Veteran punk rock and emo band No Motiv has released a newly re-recorded version of "Never Ending Cloudy Day", a song originally featured on their 1996 LP Cynical.
About this song, Jeremy Palaszewski (vocals, guitar) shared:
"This song is pretty old. I think it was about 1995 or so. I just remember there was a lot of homophobia growing up around my hometown. Friends and older brothers, even dads were always calling people homos and f*gs in a derogatory way. My brother was gay, so it was very abrasive for me to hear people talk so shallow and cheaply about people they don’t even know. I guess I just got sick of hearing talk like that, so naturally, I wrote a song about someone coming out of the closet. Who cares if anyone is gay anyways? Shouldn’t even matter or be an issue when it comes to common decency and friendship."
No Motiv has revisited the track in a time where its message remains crucial. Roger Camero (bass) reflected on its original release and the importance of bringing it back now:
"It’s a trip going back and listening to the original version of "Never Ending Cloudy Day." During high school, before I joined the band, I was watching the band do special things that the rest of us really looked up to. They were playing shows outside of Oxnard, recording at studios like Fat Planet, and putting out records. This era of No Motiv helped pave the way for the next generation of Nardcore bands to carry the torch that was lit by the OG bands, like Ill Repute, Dr. Know, and Agression. To be able to bring this song back, at a time in our lives that is seeing diversity and free love being challenged like nothing we’ve ever seen before… it’s important to show love towards the people that are once again being silenced."
"Never Ending Cloudy Day" (2024) is available now on all major streaming platforms via Wiretap Records
