about
After the sudden death of my friend Adam, I found comfort in an essay by Aaron Freeman entitled, "Why You Want a Physicist At Your Funeral". This song is a processing of loss, regret, memory, love, and the physical laws of the universe.
A short film about Adam's legacy by Ryan Bergeron and Jordan Cipolla: vimeo.com/286719690
Little things I loved about you that I never shared
Race up toward the surface and they're gasping for air
Thought I saw you yesterday and every day
But you're not there
It is just a handsome stranger with baby blonde hair
I saw you in the casket. Your face, it wasn't right
I couldn't find you in there, couldn't catch your light
I am not religious but in this I do believe,
Some things cannot be destroyed: love and energy
When I met you it was Springtime
We went to that show, had so much fun
I had to buy the beer 'cause you were not quite 21
At the set break, in the kitchen, you pretended to get mad and cursed
You said I stole your thunder
Because I kissed you first
And when I think of you I see with a book, a boyish
Grin, dancing and philosophizing, singing, sipping on some gin
I see you working on translations just like I am doing now
Trying to make sense of all of this, somehow
I saw you in the casket. Your face, it wasn't right
I couldn't find you in there, couldn't catch your light
I am not religious but in this I do believe,
Some things cannot be destroyed: love and energy
