Song “Round and Round”and the Big Bang

When I began writing this song, I had the chorus. So I was thinking of ways we go around. At the same time, I heard the audio from the Big Bang. I was very interested in sound being there, at the beginning. Even before the elements formed! Hawking showed how nothing existed before the Big Bang. This is because it was in a Black Hole, as a Singularity! Where time stopped, or did not exist.

What I knew was, gravity can affect time. What I learned was, in a sphere of uniform mass, like our Sun. Gravitational forces cancel each other out in its center. So time slows or stops. Having a choice of “time slows” or “time stops”, I chose to write “In the center time stands still” Also, it turns out that our Sun makes a noise, and this noise sounds like a bell. I chose to write “But you can still hear bells ring”!

The rest of the song is a celebration of going Round and Round !
