Lyrics: Radium

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 discovered 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
