Collection: The Worm
WORM - No Predicting
Lyrics:
There’s no predicting
What will happen next, and there’s
No way to find out

Just a big damn guess
Forward thinking doesn’t help
Not a game of chess

Go look at stars
Galaxies and nebulae
Makes no difference

You can see the past
Through a light-year telescope
A one way mirror

[Instr]

We’ll just build a hole
That passes through the cosmos
And pops out ahead

Prepare a bucket
To catch a future rain storm
One drop at a time

Because space is curved
Dragging time along the lines
Bent like a pretzel

We’ll make a black hose
Connect two salt crystals
Wait like a trooper

Going to make a wormhole

June and Joe are physicists.

The Worm is their work. Here they mull over the future and start to get to know each other.

love those spacey splashes seperated by chik-a-booms. the lyrics present quite an interesting narrative concerning the making of a wormhole

Instrumentation is three tracks of electric guitar, @ttg105 - two with lots of whammy bar, and a straight bass line that gets thrown down an octave via plug in.

My son's an astro physics major. I can still remember years ago explaining to him how looking at the stars is looking at the distant past. The whole wormhole thing seems hard to believe. I enjoyed this quite a bit! A hint of Roger Waters here.

I like your vocals. The guitar strumming sounds good. Great harmony. I like the clicker in the background. It's kind of like time "marches on," which it most certainly does!

Great mix of odd musical sounds and straight-up vocals. What is that boingy instrument? I like the percussive sounds in the background and the echoing "Going to make a wormhole" ...

I was looking over my shoulder to see who had the pruning shears clicking away. Made think of pruning away at theories. The slow tempo makes me think of the lethargic way that light travels across the universe - reaching us when it’s close to death. Feels like a good reminder that the people doing the big science are also human with their own emotions and anxieties or depressions.

I like listening to your songs, cos I have no idea what I'm going to hear.
It's always super interesting, though.
I'm enjoying all of the space you've left in this one.
Three tracks of guitar with whammy bar?
Nice.
Lovely lyrics.
Poetic.
Yeah, another excellent effort.
