About Cosmogony

"That particular sound, Cosmogony, I guess after watching documentaries about string theory, it was sort of a personal joke, maybe my sense of humor is local and a lot of people might not find it funny because they are talking about Big Bang being 20th Century and string theory being so 21st Century. Big Bang theory felt like a creation myth that is 100 years old. Me and my friends, probably after a few glasses of something, were sort of thinking “I guess all creation myths at the time of their making were science”. .

Cosmogony Lyrics

[00:33.05] Heaven, heaven's bodies
[00:39.49] Whirl around me, make me wonder
[00:48.12] And they say back then
[00:52.17] Our universe was an empty sea
[00:58.77] Until a silver fox and her cunning mate
[01:06.46] Began to sing a song that became
[01:13.86] The world we know
[01:20.70] Heaven, heaven's bodies
[01:26.87] Whirl around me, make me wonder
[01:35.84] And they say back then
[01:40.10] Our universe was a cold black egg
[01:46.28] Until the god inside burst out
[01:52.65] And from its shattered shell
[01:59.52] He made what became
[02:02.40] The world we know
[02:09.35] Heaven, heaven's bodies
[02:15.92] Whirl around me, make me wonder
[02:24.08] And they say back then
[02:27.01] Our universe was an endless land
[02:33.66] Until our ancestors woke up
[02:41.39] And before they went back to sleep
[02:47.19] They carved it up into
[02:52.38] The world we know
[02:57.10] Heaven, heaven's bodies
[03:04.03] Whirl around me, make me wonder
[03:12.72] And they say back then
[03:16.62] Our universe wasn't even there
[03:21.68] Until a sudden bang
[03:26.90] And then there was light, was sound
[03:32.46] Was matter and it all became
[03:38.25] The world we know
[03:45.16] Heaven, heaven's bodies
[03:51.46] Whirl around me
[03:55.98] A dance eternal
[04:00.13]
