The upbeat single from Atom and the Volumes 2023 album “All For You” blurs west coast cool with east coast grunge. A perfect tune to ride out the lightness of summer drives, with the windows down. The added edge and grit of garage synth lends depth and colour to the melody without weighing it down. The Toronto based indie band takes their DIY style and grooms it for popular appeal with this fresh release.

lyrics
Got it started but the time was up
Sky covered rust and nobody to trust
I went outside, I could just get a touch
Another day left alone in love
I kicked it off cause my heart was stuck
I was waitin for somethin but I didn’t know what
Caught a glimpse, caught a beat in the night
Like a spinnin wheel firecracker waitin to light
I had a feeling that I was losin touch
Moment lasts, if you can hold it
Times pass and then you’ll know it
Thought I knew the meaning,
The surface was untouched
Moment lasts, until you leave it
Times pass and you believe it
Turns out it was just my luck
You’re never alone in love
I always wondered if you want it enough
You’re never alone in love
I had a feeling I was losing touch
Moment lasts if you can hold it
Times pass, then you’ll know it
I thought I knew the meaning
The surface was untouched
The moment lasts until you leave it
Times passed and you believe it
I got nothing but life for you
Sky’s all that we’re driving to
And I got nothing but life for you
You had me believing and I wouldn't know where to start
Moment lasts if you can hold it
Times pass, then you’ll know it
Been Cadillac dreamin and I
Wouldn't wanna play the part
Moment lasts until you leave it
Times pass and you believe it
