Electric Monk is comprised of two brothers, Kyle and Brent Scheihagen, who have been writing songs since high school. Influenced at an early age by the Beatles and growing up with a shared interest in groups like Radiohead, U2, and others, both have devoted time to the notion of capturing ideas in the form of songs. Well-traveled, the brothers have performed together in such far flung places as Taiwan, Sweden and Austin, Texas where Electric Monk was truly formed with the help of friend, Chris Rogers.
Their music is commonly of a spiritual nature, expressing the light and the dark of life (and death!) in a technologically-driven age.

I know it’s empty though we fill
I know you won’t, you know you will
I know that all these things must pass
You know that they will always last
It’s a merry go round and I want to get off
Cuz you never go down so I never go up
And our love is like a paper cup
Undone, run dry, crushed under a foot
| |
I know the audience ain’t there
I know that silence is despair
You know there’s nothing in our heads
Cuz, hooray, one day we’ll all be dead
It’s a merry go round and I want to get off
Cuz you never go down and I never go up
And our love is like a paper cup
Undone, run dry, crushed under a foot
every time you sing for me now
the stars are falling from the sky
and all these joys you bring me somehow
you know you’re keeping me alive
It’s a merry go round and I want to get off
Cuz you never go down and I never go up
And our love is like an elephant
Let loose inside a china shop
It’s a merry go round and I want to get off
Cuz you never go down and I never go up
And our love is like an elephant
Let loose upon our government

I miss the touch of my lady
Now that she’s gone away
I can’t see no more
Without the light of my life
And I can’t stand it
Not for another day
Even angels pass me by
For letting her slip away
All dressed up
And there’s nowhere I can go
And I can’t stand it
Not for another day
| |
Shut up inside – I feel
Cold, in darkness,
I’m sealed.
Devils call,
But I won’t heed;
Their temptations
Are not my need.
I’m planted here –
Not to grow –
For I must reap
What I have sown.
I’m left so alone now
But I will wait every day
I’m left so alone now
But I must wait every day
She came but once
To see my ‘stone
Forevermore,
The earth my home
And so she turned and walked away

I’m not coming back
Yes, I’m going away
And I love you more
Than I can say
Ere the morning comes
I will fly away
And I love you more
Than I can say
| |
Yes, I love you more
Than I can say
Empty time
Has come to carry me away
And I’ll be blind
Before I see the break of day
Black winged bird
Has come to swallow me away
And I’ll be gone
Before you see the break of day
I’m not coming back
Yes, I’m going away
And I love you more
Than I can say
Ere the morning comes
I will fly away
And I love you more
Than I can say
Yes, I love you more
Than I can say
Yes, I love you more
Than I can say
