lyrics
Each atom in you,
Was once part of something else.
And each of those, 7 billion, billion, billion atoms, Will go on, to lead other lives,
In other beings and objects, long after you're Gone.
The beauty of a living thing, is not the atoms That go into it,
But the way those atoms
Are put together.
The youth in bloom,
The ocean jostled and swelled.
The sun's children.
Everything, somehow, fits together.
Was once part of something else.
And each of those, 7 billion, billion, billion atoms, Will go on, to lead other lives,
In other beings and objects, long after you're Gone.
The beauty of a living thing, is not the atoms That go into it,
But the way those atoms
Are put together.
The youth in bloom,
The ocean jostled and swelled.
The sun's children.
Everything, somehow, fits together.

Instrumental Music 1
by Craig Fortnamsupported by 6 fans who also own “Prologue / atoms enter”
Craig Fortnam is well known for being the creative mastermind behind names like "Shrubbies", "North Sea Radio Orchestra", "Arch Garrison", and, well, "Craig Fortnam", of course. He's from the big family of musicians and composers revolving around the cult band "Cardiacs", all of which share some undeniable and hard-to-describe common quality in their songwriting. "Instrumental Music 1" is quite some unspecific title for the wide range of unique avantgarde tracks he has released only recently.
