about

A song about an experiment gone wrong.

I got the idea from this song when I heard an NPR broadcast about a physicist, Mikkel Andersen, photographing Atoms.

Andersen used 2 lasers from cd players, Rubidium-85, and camera used for taking pictures of deep space.

I am shadowing in a songwriting competition and the current round asked for a song written about an unknown character from history, and what connection they had to a major historical event (fictionalization ok). Naturally, I thought of the NPR broadcast I heard and came up with a back story.

lyrics

Hi, I'm Dr. Andersen's assistant - Reggie
Yesterday I made Quantum history

Well, Actually…..

I take pictures of Atoms using two lasers and Rubidium-85
I thought I could do it alone at my home
But victory was not so…..sweet

Just like in the lab that day
Lasers of players from e-bay

There's a fricken' black hole in the room
Black Portal of Doom - yeah
Creepy evil things
Crawling next me
Guess it wasn't so
So, so, so -- so easy

What was different?
What was different in the lab?
What was different?

What do you think?

Why can't things go smoothly?
Were the lasers wrong?
A Black Portal of Doom? CERN already did that
I wonder if I've started……doomsday?

There's a fricken' black hole in the room
Black Portal of Doom - yeah
Creepy evil things
Crawling next me
Guess it wasn't so
So, so, so -- so easy

There's a fricken' black hole in the room
Black Portal of Doom - yeah
Creepy evil things
Crawling next me
Guess it wasn't so
So, so, so -- so easy
