- I'm Kevin O'Brien.

I am the lead guitar player for Atom Ghost.

Atom Ghost started as the idea of, again, creativity and the human nature of creating spontaneous energy.

For us it became music.

But initially it was me and Ryan Murphy, our bass player, just together, just having great conversations about life and humanity and what it means to be human.

And we both shared a love for music.

So Atom Ghost became that way of expressing those ideas through music.

Something I would really want people to understand about Atom Ghost is that it's not just about jamming in endless songs, it's really about the creativity of in the moment and when we may be improvising stuff that you've never heard before.

We are doing it for you in a live environment and it's your energy if you're coming to see us, that's really creating that You're just as much a part of the music as we are on the stage.

The idea of apathy isn't so much political as, as much as it is about the human nature.

So the idea of the song is about an apathetic nation.

And when I say nation, I don't necessarily mean the United States, but I mean humanity.

And I feel like as humanity moves forward, we've gotten more to an apathetic state of not really caring about what we're creating as we go and not realizing that we have the power to, you know, create reality right in front of us.

And so the song really stemmed from wanting to open people's eyes to, you know, there's more to pay attention to than just, you know, the mundane things of day-to-day life.

We are Atom Ghost, and this next song is Apathy.
