Engineer's music
It isn't often that pop music yields a beautiful ode to numbers.
But Kate Bush did it.
Beautifully.
I am reminded of this because Ms. Bush is giving a live concert in London, the first one in 35 years. Be sure to look at all the pictures at the link. She is a diva.
If you want to sing along, here are the lyrics.
With an obsessive nature and deep fascination
For numbers
And a complete infatuation with the calculation
Of PI
Oh he love, he love, he love
He does love his numbers
And they run, they run, they run him
In a great big circle
In a circle of infinity
3.1415926535 897932
3846 264 338 3279
Oh he love, he love, he love
He does love his numbers
And they run, they run, they run him
In a great big circle
I have never heard this before even though I am familiar with Ms. Bush' work.
All the more reason to love her.
It would be nice to know who this man is and if he went to MIT!
