Now that I can finally understand the lyrics better, it's pretty clear this isn't just some catchy tune - it's a true masterpiece of digital poetry. How does Klayton manage to achieve all of this while taking on SO MANY ROLES AT ONCE is beyond me, but damn it's so inspiring to say the least. This is really a great time to be alive - same time as this wonder of a musician.
I honestly think it might be Scandroid's best refrain. Dropping "Monochrome" in and making it an assisted rhyme with "Afterglow" is just brilliant. Some of Klay's best writing. Also, the verses all rhyme with each other rather than a more typical ABAB rhyme scheme. Just fantastic.
[Intro] (You and I will ride the afterglow) (You and I will ride the afterglow) [Verse 1] When we're living under midnight Lights shimmer off the walls These feelings rise into the sky Our fears faded with the twilight Our tears mingle as we fall In moonlight this love is amplified [Chorus] In stereo We both let go Into the flow You and I will ride the afterglow [Verse 2] The last traces of the sunlight They wish us their last farewell The streetlights lit up like fireflies The faint glow of distant starlight Keep the secrets that we tell Our bodies' vibrations multiply [Chorus] [Bridge] (You and, you and I) (You and, you and I) (-glow, you and, you and) (-glow, ride, you) Two shadows in the moonlight Two bodies parallel We’re lost in the datastream tonight (You and I will ride the afterglow) [Chorus] [Outro] (In stereo) (We both let go) (Into the flow) (You and I will ride the afterglow) (Beneath the dome) (So far from home) (In monochrome) (You and I will ride the afterglow) (You and I will ride the afterglow)
Hope so. Really hoping Satellites or whatever's next wouldn't disappoint, because I think what I've listened so far doesn't feel great. The teased songs really made me question my enjoyment.
once upon a time i never knew retro-futuristic music was a thing, then as a celldweller fan i naturally bumped into scandroid.... call me a fanboy but i'm ADDICTED :D
I've been looking forward to this ever since you uploaded that studio preview on Instagram last month - and it completely lived up to my expectations. I'm so ready for the full release. 4 more weeks! :D
I REAALLLY dig this narrative that Scandroid songs always have... also I like to think Circle of Dust and Celldweller exist in the same universe when Klayton's alter-egos feat eachother
This makes me want to drive very fast! What a killer vibe, looking forward to hearing the full album. All killer... no filler... includes a bonus track Thriller
Very nice music :) +1 When i found, "Scandroid" i was sure, that it will be one of my favourite producers, i was not wrong, your music, is extremly good :)
I frickin' love this, oh my gosh! And I'm looking forward to the coming album too :-D I also loved both Glitch Hop and Indie Dance Synthwave with a Passion. :-D

Words cannot describe how amazing this sounds!
Those guitar's riffs are amazing!
MrHandsomeLegend The synths are pretty awesome too!
When I listen Klayton’s stuff as Scandroid all I care about is the synths and I like when he uses the reverb guitar effect on some of the songs :)
This song is beautiful, I can't stop listen to it

This is personally the most funky scandroid song yet, I LOVE IT!
I agree!
This guy only creates banger 🔥
i clicked like before i listened to the song. i was not disappointed. and that didnt surprise me.
[Intro]
(You and I will ride the afterglow)
(You and I will ride the afterglow)
[Verse 1]
When we're living under midnight
Lights shimmer off the walls
These feelings rise into the sky
Our fears faded with the twilight
Our tears mingle as we fall
In moonlight this love is amplified
[Chorus]
In stereo
We both let go
Into the flow
You and I will ride the afterglow
[Verse 2]
The last traces of the sunlight
They wish us their last farewell
The streetlights lit up like fireflies
The faint glow of distant starlight
Keep the secrets that we tell
Our bodies' vibrations multiply
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
(You and, you and I)
(You and, you and I)
(-glow, you and, you and)
(-glow, ride, you)
Two shadows in the moonlight
Two bodies parallel
We’re lost in the datastream tonight
(You and I will ride the afterglow)
[Chorus]
[Outro]
(In stereo)
(We both let go)
(Into the flow)
(You and I will ride the afterglow)
(Beneath the dome)
(So far from home)
(In monochrome)
(You and I will ride the afterglow)
(You and I will ride the afterglow)
Your services have been much appreciated. Quick, somebody give this man a medal!
You missed some verses of the second chorus
I'm so hyped for the Monochrome
Me too! 😃
Same! //_^)
so am i ^^
I never thought anything could beat Neo Tokyo !!!!
Damn, with the synthwave market currently being flooded with generic songs I fucking love how original and refreshing your stuff is
Experience, and of course, talent. Klayton knows his shit.
Hope so. Really hoping Satellites or whatever's next wouldn't disappoint, because I think what I've listened so far doesn't feel great. The teased songs really made me question my enjoyment.
Can we just take a moment to admire those visuals in the video :)
And the song is like one of those things that just makes you happy for some reason
Animattronic is awesome with all the lyric videos and visualizers he puts on all the videos for FiXT
The guys honestly outdoes himself. The video for 'Empty Streets' was remarkable
once upon a time i never knew retro-futuristic music was a thing, then as a celldweller fan i naturally bumped into scandroid.... call me a fanboy but i'm ADDICTED :D
Whoever disliked this obviously has issues like this song is fun and Klayton's voice is just so addictive. How could one not enjoy this?
Elora Foxx right?
@Soller By being not a very good song it doesn't mean it is a bad song. And you dislike bad stuff...
that doesn't mean that they're bad people.. they just don't like the song, that's it
I'm so glad I found Scandroid!
I imagine this is what the Rockerboys from Cyberpunk 2020 would be blasting to rally huge crowds of people around them.
You are one of my main influences, I began learning music creation 1 year ago at 39.
This channel is SOOO underrated! People should know these exist, not the radio crap what plays nowdays.
New power cell for body and soul
EARGASMIC !
GreY Enjoy life
omg I've been waiting for this one!!! now I don't have to loop that clip from his Instagram haha
I accidentally came across with this song and guess what? I can't stop listening
This is great.
One of the few songs of yours I can sing in tune to; makes rewatching my dashcam footage a bit less embarassing, oh aye.
Oh man that is some good synth. Holy cats, nice work sir!
I've been looking forward to this ever since you uploaded that studio preview on Instagram last month - and it completely lived up to my expectations. I'm so ready for the full release. 4 more weeks! :D
This song is perfect ! 👍🙃👍
Holy shit the 80's r back!!
This almost has an Ultravox feel to it. And that was one of my fave bands back in the 80s - early 90s. Great.
JESUS CHRIST!!! Monochrome's gonna be sick! Can't wait to hear the full thing. Good job as always, Klay!
Another piece of work, and I have yet to ever be disappointed by Klayton.
Can't wait for the album!
Love this song! 💖
Super ! ! !
I REAALLLY dig this narrative that Scandroid songs always have... also I like to think Circle of Dust and Celldweller exist in the same universe when Klayton's alter-egos feat eachother
A perfect birthday gift for me !! I love this and thriller can’t wait to hear it
*Can't wait for new album...* 😻
Artwork with band logo and lights and Afterglow in neon is so cool. Fits with song perfectly.
This makes me want to drive very fast! What a killer vibe, looking forward to hearing the full album. All killer... no filler... includes a bonus track Thriller
WHY AM I JUST FINDING THIS MAN NOW !!?? THESE BEATS ARE SOMETHING ELSE!!!
You have more talent than people realize. Bravo man.
Hell Yeah! Another Scandroid song!
every song you release is fire
Love it...
So freaking awesome song! 😎💃
Yes :D
Instant like. And this is a beautiful song 💜💜💜
Never thought I'd pre-order a music album...and yet Monochrome now sits in my music library waiting for release on Oct 27th.
I've literally listened to this like 20 times today so far! Holy crap this song is awesome!
I've looped this nonstop for about 5 hours.
ruddthree I have to say, this is my favorite single released from Monochrome so far!
Same!
You and I will ride the Afterglow!
Don't ever stop making music Klayton!
Edit: Thanks guys haha
I think it's "You and I *will ride* the afterglow"
Yeah I think it's "You and I will ride the Afterglow"
Always a fan of Layton of circle of dust to celldweller to scandroid
Very nice music :) +1 When i found, "Scandroid" i was sure, that it will be one of my favourite producers, i was not wrong, your music, is extremly good :)
It's beautiful, unmatched.
All hail Klayton, God of all music!
Nah its not good but not terrible either
It’s funny. I’m listening to this on an iPhone 6 with pods in
It's fairly good. Compared to what he does on Celldweller these days.
I frickin' love this, oh my gosh! And I'm looking forward to the coming album too :-D
I also loved both Glitch Hop and Indie Dance Synthwave with a Passion. :-D
Amazing song, now I'm just waiting for the thriller cover
Very good
Amazing! I can't wait until the whole album is out, I'm so hyped!
Big like.
This sounds amazing
I'm not entirely sure if i am sold on the vocals this time around BUT the music itself is absolutely exceptional!
thelastdisciple yeah the chorus and instrumental bridges are amazing, I'm not super big on the verses though
jajaja345 If you notice, the verses all rhyme with each other rather than rhyme with words in the same verse
i can listen to this
Wounderful *.*
guitar + synths = epic
You're music hit me so well
Probably my favorite song of the new album!
Pure skill
Yes!!!
Damn I need that monolith as a wallpaper o.o
Thumbnail-grabber?
Excellent
I think this is scandroid's best song lyrics and haunting synths wise...yes, even better than awakening with you
Man You allways do nice song in this scandroid project. Keep it up. :) was a nice to hear song
Totally Awesome!!😀
Awesome song 😍🤘! Can’t wait for the October 27 😎🤘!

I LOVE YOUR MUSIC
*Lyrics:*
When we're living under midnight
Lights shimmer off the walls
These feelings rise into the sky
Our fears faded with the twilight
Our tears mingle as we fall
In moonlight this love is amplified
In stereo
We both let go
Into the flow
You and I will ride the afterglow
The last traces of the sunlight
They wish us their last farewell
The streetlights lit up like fireflies
The faint glow of distant starlight
Keep the secrets that we tell
Our bodies' vibrations multiply
In stereo
We both let go
Into the flow
You and I will ride the afterglow
Beneath the dome
So far from home
In monochrome
You and I will ride the afterglow
(You and, you and I)
(You and, you and I)
(-glow, you and, you and)
(-glow, ride, you)
Two shadows in the moonlight
Two bodies parallel
We're lost in the datastream tonight
(You and I will ride the afterglow)
In stereo
We both let go
Into the flow
You and I will ride the afterglow
Beneath the dome
So far from home
In monochrome
You and I will ride the afterglow
(In stereo)
(We both let go)
(Into the flow)
(You and I will ride the afterglow)
(Beneath the dome)
(So far from home)
(In monochrome)
(You and I will ride the afterglow)
(You and I will ride the afterglow)
such beautiful lyrics to paint a picture and feelings in your mind
Ohhhhhhh, preordering this album was a good idea...
