Drawing us in with an astral synth crescendo, exploding into a dimensional guitar soundscape with textured drums and subtle melodies, Mono Martian opens Run Me Over with metaphorical lyrics and a high emotional quotient as he sings, “You run me over every time we meet, I am falling and I’m in to deep…”
The opus expands with timeless chord progressions and a relatable nature. We appreciate Mono Martian‘s authenticity and lyrical prowess. “I am weightless every time you are near…” sings the star as he paints a cosmic picture of love and connection.
The emergence of transcendental “ahhhh” ad libs add a sublime, almost power pop touch. Fans of Bowie would be able to connect with what Mono Martian is offering, in name and poetry! There is also a depth to the lyrics and soundscape that would make the song the perfect match for a performance at The Bronze in Buffy The Vampire Slayer – a past episode or maybe the upcoming reboot!
With reference to the track, Mono Martian tells us, “It’s about being disarmed by connection. That kind of connection that turns your world upside down – and you’re fully in it: sincere,
shaken, and wide open. Run Me Over is love in freefall.”
With Run Me Over, the rising Norwegian artist, also known as Jørgen Landhaug taps into a raw and authentic meditation on love. The track feels like an emotional experience. We love the cinematic allure that is brought to live and his brand of visual storytelling. There is a ’90s adjacency with a touch of nostalgia, but there is also a freshness to what Mono Martian is creating!
Naturally, we have added Run Me Over to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Mono Martian, including Do The Best You Can, Come As You Are, and Shadows.
