Atlas (wt K2 and the Three) by xian3 published on 2024-03-05T13:03:36Z The original version of "Atlas" always gave me a slight pain in my neck when I listened to it. I was never quite lucky with the generated drums, and the song also had a somewhat slushy note. So I asked K2 and the Three (https://soundcloud.com/k2andthe3) if he would like to play drums and refurbish the song. Luckily he did and how... and now I feel very released about this rerelease... :) A Big Thank You for that... :) The picture shows a cut out of a photography of the so called „Farnese Atlas“ in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, source: Wikimedia Commons Atlas 1 You’re a mountain of a titan of the old times Gaia is supposed to be your mother You’re a pole at the coordinate system You were the prison of your brother One could’nt really quite imagine All the masses You were condemned to hold up Celestial heavens After the battle of the gods Since then you carried the weight of the world Upon your shoulders 2 You’re responsible and of purpose You’re imperatively necessary for structure You are stabilizing and decorative You’re the leitmotif for architecture There is a 2nd century sculpture cut of you In the museum of archaeology in Naples You are condemned to hold up All the statics Between the basis and the rooftop Where you carry the weight of the world Upon your shoulders 3 You contain of corpus, archi and processi You have ligaments like wings Articulating in every moment Here and now right inside of the body Sometimes there is a pain in the neck That makes everything just worse You were condemned to hold up And move yes and no Between the axis and the occiput Where you carry the weight of the world Upon your shoulders Will you carry the weight of the world Upon your shoulders ? Hope, it isn’t too shrugged yet… Genre Alternative Rock Comment by kensuke kotori I love the vocal melody and sound here! 2024-04-27T13:10:24Z Comment by Dave Orestes 1 that is great percussion and I also love the persistent controlled melody..the vocal and periodic harmony is sort of hypnotic..like the lyrics 2024-04-27T11:09:23Z Comment by Steve MindTwin great voice ;) 2024-04-26T13:58:24Z Comment by Javier Piñeira Fantastic song and track 2024-04-18T22:18:10Z Comment by Mike Fox This is so good ! 2024-04-16T19:55:01Z Comment by ~Mark F Very cool collab. 2024-04-16T02:50:52Z Comment by BeSinger Wonderful dark indie sound! 🔥 Keep on rocking, Grüsse aus Hamburg nach Hamburg😎 2024-04-11T16:11:49Z Comment by Karin-Maria Brunner good! 2024-04-11T15:31:38Z Comment by maho_mochi So cool! 2024-04-01T12:03:37Z Comment by Bengt Erik Roth User 188944807 A great track! 2024-03-26T13:01:40Z Comment by some decibel cool...nice collab 2024-03-23T21:06:40Z Comment by J.J.
