Molecules BluesJames McCormick, February 26, 2009


12-bar blues




[C]Molecules, molecules, [C]here and there


[C]Molecules, molecules, every-[C7]where


[F]Itsy-bitsy molecules, [F]tiny as can be


[C]Molecule, molecule, [C]too small to see


[G7]Everything, everything, [F7]made of molecules


A-[C]mazing what itsy-bitsy molecules can [G7]do




[C]Galaxies, quasars, [C]comets, asteroids


[C]Moons, stars, planets spin in the [C7]void


[F]Molecule is matter, [F]matter is energy


[C]Molecules obey [C]rule of entropy


A-[G7]swirlin' a-churnin' [F7]since it all begun



[C]Cosmic chaos and equilibri-[G7]um


[C]Molecules, oh molecules, [C]atoms in a bunch


[C]Atoms got electrons around nucle-[C7]us


[F]Neutrons, protons, [F]quarks and other bits


[C]People try smash 'em up [C]Quantum Physicists


[G7]Demolition derby [F7]scientific fun


[C]Huntin' for particle Higg's Bo-[G7]son


[C]Molecules in motion, [C]billions years


[C]Move to music, music of the [C7]spheres


[F]Water, earth, [F]fire, air


[C]Molecules, molecules, [C]everywhere


[G7]Everything, everything [F7]made of molecules


A-[C]mazing what itsy-bitsy [G7]molecules can [C]do

Re: "Molecules Blues"

love it James but you forgot to mention masons(I'm not sure of the spelling) I think there sub atomic particles but you sure got the rest lol question, I believe matter and the universe is infinite without and within because it seems the more we are able to look into the universe we keep discovering new galaxies and the more we are able to look through more powerful means of the minute universe of matter we keep discovering new particles,you could go crazy coming to grips with the fact that our "solid bodies"break down to all the things in your song even our thoughts are electrical particles and when we pass away our bodies change there molecular structure but matter cannot be destroyed only altered so we will still be part of something and our essence of awareness will be somewhere also,sorry to ramble on like this the molecules in my synapses made me do it lol you got me thinking with your lyrics smile

Re: "Molecules Blues"

Hi James,

Now this is a song that is really going back to basics, only you would think to write a song about molecules.

I enjoyed to recording, thank you,

Re: "Molecules Blues"

I tried to include all the known sub-atomic particles;
6 types of Quarks (up, down, bottom, top, strange, charm), plus: Gluons, Muons, Pions, Kaons, Photons, Fermions, and others.  I also wanted to say something about Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and other topics - - it is an exceedingly fascinating topic.

However, the song started turning into a encyclopedia so I skirted around all those details.  Russell, the apparent symmetry between micro/macro (atomic/galactic) scales is one of those really cool things about our universe. 

Thanks for listening to my little musical foray into the weird world of Physics.

Re: "Molecules Blues"

Yes James it is a facinating topic and as you have said it could have turrned into a encylopedia of particals(some I never heard of) but someday science will discover what faith has known all along, a quote from Ashley Brilliant smile

Re: "Molecules Blues"

Hi James,

Fascinating for sure.I try wrap my mind around the physics of the "known universe" and still come up wondering about the "unknown universe"
Dark matter and string theory are mind benders. lol

Great Tune
