Watching the Sky is a little known song that sounds particularly menacing and its subject matter is quite disturbing.
When I was recovering from a severe bout of depression, I really identified with the song. I sit here alone, watching the sky, watching the clouds pass by.
Perhaps, contradicting the song, I found that watching the sky and appreciating the small things helped me to recover.
The story Black Dog and Blue Skies explores those feelings. It is part of my book Postcards From Hell
The song itself is featured on the Deep Purple album Abandon and is perhaps the darkest song that Deep Purple ever wrote.
