Daily Wiki Music
This song incorporates many more references than from the article. It’s funny, I was just watching a documentary on Richard Feynman last night. He was one of the contributers to the Manhattan Project. Anyways, the point is that some of my ideas came from watching that video. He talks about what was happening in his lab at the same time that the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. There’s also just some “random” noises in there. Lots of people getting their lawns groomed today. I thought the sound of that was cool so I recorded it and incorporated it. My cell phone rang in the middle of the reading as well and I left that in. Articles like this make me reflect on science. Science is all about the beauty of reality and truth. Which can be much more beautiful than dressed up lies. That is what a lot of music can end up being. It’s momentarily pleasurable but in the end a useless load of bullshit. I hope you can appreciate the bits of today’s “real world” which I didn’t cut out or decided to add. Here’s the words by the way:
The secrets of the age of the earth
Uncovered In a drawer in a lab
The power of creation and destruction
Fizzling in the lungs of a little boy
while man sits on a bonnet of a jeep
in an ethanol elation: a godly sensation
That is the moment. Not the Nobel Prize
The prize is in the pleasure of finding things out
The pleasure is old and the ale is stout
The death is the price of the use and the learning
What remains is the knowledge and the feeling of yearning
The knowledge that the earth does not belong to God
That color and vision is cones and rods
That energy is burning and smashing and learning
That the planets and the plants eat the elements
That the horizon of the universe is not the firmament
Elation such a wonderful feeling
like Supernova's bearing from a mother that is reeling
Uranium and Uranus are connected by that feeling
That starts with four light bulbs and knows no ceiling
Power: one word meaningless with meaning
Blasted with neutrons and angry from dreaming
