The Clouds in Camarillo is a name of the radio-single released by Brazzaville in 2007. The song was included to the album 21st Century Girl.
The Plot and Minerva's addition
Camarillo is the name of the city in the US state of California. Three miles from Camarillo is Camarillo State Mental Hospital, which opened a disease like schizophrenia. According to eyewitnesses, during the period from 1936 to 1996 in the hospital from the experiments died large number of patients. In the same hospital spent the last years the mother of soloist of the band Brazzaville David Brown. Song is a poetic translation of one of her letters.
Firstly the song was written by David Brown, but due to the fact that the members of the band were the admirers of Russian culture, they allowed Russian musician Mikhail Korneev from "Minerva" to write Russian version of the song. The version has name "Vershina mira" and is translated as "The top of the world".
Music video
In 2007 for the song was filmed video, which was loaded on YouTube by Minerva's profile.[1] The video shows David Brown and Mikhail Korneev in the city of Camarillo dressed in white clothes for the mentally ill. The most attention is paid to the woman, which is dancing on the road and playing with teddy baby in a pram. Also the singers are shown closed in a cage with the woman. At the end of the video the woman walks into the sea and disappears into it.
The video was shown on popular TV Channels of United States, Russia and Ukrainian channel M1.
