Listen "Magnesium"
Episode Synopsis
"Magnesium," a song from Kurt Holes's experimental pop album, Periodic One, which is uniquely based on elements from the periodic table. The lyrics use vivid imagery to evoke the feeling of magnesium within the body, comparing it to a "metal light in my bloodstream" and "a glowing flame." The song creates a surreal and almost dreamlike atmosphere, suggesting magnesium's ubiquity and importance with lines such as "In the air it's everywhere." Overall, the song seems to be an artistic exploration of an element by intertwining scientific concept with emotional experience.
