Atlas

New "The Color Before The Sun” Out Now

Several months ago, in anticipation of the birth of my son, I wrote “Atlas" for him. At the time, I could only imagine the feelings I'd have for him when I'd have to leave for tour. I didn't truly understand the power and relevance of the song's sentiment. Now, after having him in my life for almost three months and with Neverender just a few weeks away, I'm starting to feel it. This will be my first tour away from Atlas. And sure, it will be hard, but it's all for him. I'd like to share that song with you.

I tear up every time I hear this song. this song wasn't only written for his son but, for every father out there that doesn't get to spend the time they want to spend with their child. I'm going through a divorce and I only get to see my son on the weekends. I miss him so much that it hurts. the line " you're the weight of his anchor and the love that is guiding him home " rings so true for me. I absolutely love this song and it has become yet, another one of my favorites from coheed and cambria.

Mannnn. I mean how? How Claudio? I mean how are you so fucking amazing at everything??? No one writes songs like you. Or graphic novels. Please never stop.

[DarkStar]

I can't wait until the point in time where I'm a senior citizen and I am listening still to Coheed and Cambria, i am proud to be born in a time where amazing music is made

[Mikaelmiddy]

I named my son after this song. I fell in love instantly.

I love how every single time I see him playing; its never half ass, beautiful fuck'n energy....

I have always loved this song, but now it hits me in a different way. My 6 month old son Ollie has been out of town getting tongue tie surgery with his mother by his side. And I have needed to stay home for work. And I know its only been a week but its bearing down on my soul. I miss my little man so very much. I can't wait to see him Saturday I'm going to grab him up and never let go. Ollie, home is wherever you are, so you will be guiding me every time I am away. Thank you Claudio and the rest of Coheed and Cambria. Keep being beautiful.

"And if there is one good thing that comes from my wake
Is that you won't be anything like me oh
And so better for it you will be"

God I love this line.

[KrazyEngima]

"And if theres one good thing that comes from my away
Is that you wont be anything like me
And so much better for it you will be"

Goddamn that line cuts as deep as it did when this dropped 😭

"Coheed and Cambria: Live at Claudio's kitchen" that would be the best album ever.

[ChiefXuligan]

This was a POWERFUL work of art, Claudio! As a father in the Navy these words really make me reflect on everything. Thank you for such an amazing song!

[leleskine]

This is my band. This makes me feel greatful for my loving parents and how I wanna fill and teach my children with love and passion. Those guys are the changing our world need for sure. Thanks Claudio.

Still here in 2021. It's been 5 years since I've seen my son, since I was able to tell him I love him and that his existence is what made me who I am. I love you Jackson Tyler. I miss you, every single day.

The acoustics in that house are phenomenal, I'd be sad leaving too.

[stapf]

Every time Claudio releases something like this it makes me really wish they would record an all acoustic album.

[CarlamityNyx]

My dad passed away in 2012 but in my heart I know he'd love this song. Thanks guys for the feels. Love you all

[gearsdan]

seriously one of the most talented musicians on earth

[Galactic.Baddiejival]

My husband and I are such big fans that we couldn't think of a better name suiting the birth of our first born son in May!
Atlas, in honor of you guys! \m/

[stoneytg]

Shit dude, you brought a fully-grown man to tears. Much love and best wishes for you, your beautiful family, and your greatly talented friends.

[lizaolson]

I love how Atlas's sneeze was incorporated into the beatboxing. True musical sensibilities right there.

[KingEva]

Grow strong, little Atlas. This is your life now.
