}} "Atlas" is a song written and recorded by British alternative rock band Coldplay for ''The Hunger Games: Catching Fire – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack'', the soundtrack to the 2013 American science-fiction adventure film ''The Hunger Games: Catching Fire''.〔 It was released digitally as the lead single from the soundtrack on 6 September 2013 worldwide, and on 8 September in the United Kingdom. The song was accompanied by a lyric video, which also premiered on 6 September. "Atlas" has charted in 16 countries and reached top ten positions in three of them, and has also received mostly positive reviews from music critics. The ballad, which is the first song ever written and recorded by Coldplay for a film, won the Hollywood Song Award at the 17th Hollywood Film Awards,〔 and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media and a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.〔 ==Background== "Atlas" is Coldplay's first new track in almost two years, as the band's fifth studio album ''Mylo Xyloto'' was released in October 2011. The song was written specifically for ''Catching Fire'' and marks the first time that Coldplay have ever recorded an original song for a motion picture, or any piece of media outside the music industry. According to ''Billboard'' magazine, "the lyrics abstractly touch upon main characters Katniss and Peeta's mutual reliance." "I have great respect and admiration for Coldplay, and we are thrilled with how well they have connected to the themes and ideas within the film. Their unwavering passion and excitement for the project elevated the collaboration even further, and we can't wait to share this music with audiences around the world," said the film's director Francis Lawrence.〔 "We are so honored that Coldplay, one of the iconic rock bands of our generation, will perform the first song out on the new soundtrack. Knowing that Chris Martin is a fan of the books makes this even more meaningful. The Coldplay single underscores the stature of recording artists we've assembled for this powerful soundtrack," added Tracy McKnight, Lionsgate's Head of Film Music. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Atlas (Coldplay song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
