about

After the first single The Electric Muse, which has been aired on radios in three continents,
Monoscopes return with Hey Atlas. The new song will be released on January 5th, 2024 by Big Black Car Records, and is also part of the band's second album Endcyclopedia, due out on January 26th, 2024.

Hey Atlas is an antidote to anxiety. Sometimes the complexity of life leads us to feel all of the weight of the world on our shoulders, like the mythological character that gives the song its title. But you can drop that weight, or you can at least try.

The song melts the gospel psychedelia of Spiritualized with R.E.M. folk balladry and Big Star’s power pop melodies. The end result is a song both meditative and uplifting, with a catchy melody and a soaring chorus.

lyrics

Hey Atlas


When you were young
You thought that the world
Depended on you
To be what it was

You found out with time
All your pretense
Won't be enough
To understand

Hey Atlas, now you're older
Take the weight of the world
Off of your shoulders
Now the nights are getting colder
Stop painting yourself into a corner

You don't have to tell me
I understand
Won't bury my head
Under the sand
The things that I say
The things that I do
Should be enough
For me to pull through

Hey Atlas, now you're older
Take the weight of the world
Off of your shoulders
Now the nights are getting colder
Stop painting yourself into a corner

I am alive
No longer afraid
I feel awake
No matter the pain
I know there's a light
That will be on
And I don't care
To know for how long

Hey Atlas, now you're older
Take the weight of the world
Off of your shoulders
Now the nights are getting colder
Stop painting yourself into a corner

Hey Atlas, now you're older
Take the weight of the world
Off of your shoulders
Now the nights are getting colder
Stop painting yourself into a corner

We got lost in noise and melody a long time ago, and we have been trying to come back to reality ever since.

Ci siamo persi nel rumore e nella melodia molto tempo fa. Da allora stiamo cercando di tornare alla realtà.
