“Weight of the World” is the title song of the forthcoming album from Greek heavy rock group The Same River. The album is set for release on May 13th, 2022, via Sliptrick Records.
The band also released a visualizer for the self-titled single, “Weight of the World”. Check it out below.
The band had this to say about the single: “The main reason is for the title is that the song amalgamate the vibes and the idea of this record in its entity. Lyrically inspired by Sisyphus, both the Greek myth and the homonym philosophical essay by Albert Camus. The absurd (finding meaning in life) is a fundamental human need. During the start of the pandemic in 2020 we found ourselves in a state of inertia and lack of will. Weight of the World was the firstborn child after the lockdown. A boulder we had to push even if we had to see it roll down again”.
As Camus says: “The struggle itself… is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy”.
