most songs are about the relationship between two people. about love.
Boys and girls in cars
Dogs and birds on lawns
From here I can touch the sun
Yeahthis song makes me really emotional. it brings me to tears.
Put your jackets on
I feel we’re being born
The Tropic of Capricorn is below
Yeahit makes the hairs on my arms stand up, makes a chill run up my spine,
We stall above the pole
Still your face is young
As we feel our weight return
Yeahit’s so joyful. it’s so beautiful. It’s so devastating.
A trail of shooting stars
The horses call of storm
Because the air contains the charge
Yeah yeah yeah yeahthe Columbia Space Shuttle disintegrated during re-entry into earth’s atmosphere in the sky over Texas and Lousiana on February 1, 2003. all seven crew members were lost.
The radio is on
And Houston knows the score
Can you feel it?
We’re almost home
Yeah yeah yeah yeahdo you remember where you were? I was in ninth grade. it was a saturday morning and i was making pancakes with my dad, watched looney toons like we always have.
The crew compartment’s breaking up
we watched the news. i dropped the bowl of batter on my feet. he wasn’t even mad i ruined the carpet.
The crew compartment’s breaking up
The crew compartment’s breaking up
The crew compartment’s breaking up
The crew compartment’s breaking up
The crew compartment’s breaking up
The crew compartment’s breaking upThis is all I wanted to bring home to you
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider say they may have glimpsed the fabled Higgs boson, but are not yet able to claim a discovery.
Rad.
I have this theory that looking the Higgs Bosom dead in the face would yield a sensation similar to déjà vu.
… ever had a dream where your alarm clock starts ringing… and you try to turn it off in the dream, but it just won’t… and nothing you press on the clock will stop it from ringing… and eventually you start smashing it with a hammer… but still it won’t stop ringing… and then you put it in the toilet, hoping the water will short circuit the damn thing… but still it won’t stop ringing… and you’re about to have a mental breakdown because for the life of you, you can’t figure out why the hell this damn alarm clock refuses to stop ringing???
And then you wake up… and turn off your alarm clock… which has been ringing for about an hour.
I have a friend who’s an artist and he’s sometimes taken a view which I don’t agree with very well. He’ll hold up a flower and say, “Look how beautiful it is,” and I’ll agree, I think. And he says—”you see, I as an artist can see how beautiful this is, but you as a scientist, oh, take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing.” And I think that he’s kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me, too, I believe, although I might not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is; but I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time I see much more about the flower than he sees. I can imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside which also have a beauty. I mean it’s not just beauty at this dimension of one centimeter, there is also beauty at a smaller dimension, the inner structure. Also the processes, the fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting—it means that insects can see the color. It adds a question: Does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which shows that a science knowledge only adds to the excitement and mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds; I don’t understand how it subtracts.
