Fireworks Film to “Wonderweb” Soundtrack

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”
