Oooh and Aaaah! We all love firework displays don’t we (ok, except maybe not cats and dogs). Brockwell park put on another fabulous 30 minute show last week.
I had some firework footage from last year and set it to a particularly cosmic dance track called Wonderweb. A song not about the internet, but more about the interconnectedness of life, the universe and everything (to borrow a line from the late Douglas Adams).
At Moby’s gig this summer at the Southbank, he reckoned he was the only person to have written a dance track about quantum physics. Well Moby, (“we’re all made of stars”) this one came earlier with the same concept – (“we’re all made of spacedust”). Put that in your interconnected intergalactic parallel pipe and smoke it!
Enjoy! It’s a whole other year ’til next bonfire night.
Lyrics & Music Amanda Greatorex
“From the lines on our palms to the far disant galaxies
the tremble of stars and the pull of earths gravity
the patterns we wander – like the dance of the bee
Oh what a wonderweb, interconnected
From a small grain of sand on a lost distant desert plain
to a drop in the ocean – it’s all one and the same
there’s no escaping, we’re all caught in the net
Oh what a wonderweb, let’s interconnect
Wonderweb, there’s wonder in the air – touching everywhere
trying to connect you.. I.. I..I..I..I..I..I’m trying to connect you
Wherever I wander over land over sea, just close your eyes and you’ll be with me
wherever i travel throughout this universe – we’ll always be interconnected- reflected
Wonderweb – with your secret threads, spinning stars through my head
Trying to connect you…..
Spacedust
We’re all made of spacedust
Bursted out from spacelust
From the heart of a star”
