about

This is a song I wrote in late 2021 that is inspired by material from Albert Einstein's book "Ideas and Opinions" that my friend Jonathan gave to me. The book includes material or that Einstein wrote or spoke between 1934 and 1950 on a variety of topics, including good and evil, politics, and of course, science. In the book, Einstein describes how scientific thought morphed from material to theoretical forms of science over the years; one preceding the other. This song takes that scientific thought and transposes it into a material and theoretical love song.

lyrics

MATERIAL LOVE/LOVE IN THEORY LYRICS
My material love, in theory
It has wings above and below
And we fly away
And we catch the waves
In relative speed
I go, I go, I go

My material love, in theory
Sits on both sides of the glass
And it sees you
And it sees itself
With a dual recollection
You go, You go, You go

Is it light in the love that shines
Is it light in the love that fades away

My theoretical love, is real
You can touch, revel, and feel
We won't fade away
Despite sun and rain
Through magnificent lenses
We go, we go, we go

Is it light in the love that shines
Is it light in the love that fades away
Is it light in the love that stays
Is it light in the love that dies
