about

I started out writing a song about the names of colors – but somehow I ended up in the periodic table, at the element Radium.

Radium is:

A love song about radioactivity.
A song about the feeling when you discover something.
And a song about Marie Curie, who found something deadly over 100 years ago.

Like a movie, the lyric starts in orbit around a star and then zooms in like a camera to a town, a house and a room upstairs where Marie Curie discovers radium.

The music: Radium is a rocker. It's loud. It's distorted. It's a little sweet. It's influenced by bands like Talking Heads, The Cure, and Leonard Cohen.

lyrics

Around a star there is a world
In the world there is a land
on the land there is a road
on the road there is a town
In the town there is a house
And the house it has a door
past the door up the stairs
at the top there is a room
in the room there is a table
on the table is a stone
in the room there sits a woman
who studies it alone

Marie Marie
What have you found
Marie Marie
Deep underground

* * *

You call it radium
You call it radium
You call it radium
You call it radium

* * *

Atomic Clock
It never stops
Atomic Clock
It never stops
