Case / Lang / Veirs - Atomic Number Lyrics






I'm not the freckled maid
I'm not the fair-haired girl
I'm not a pail of milk for you to spoil

Why are the wholesome things
The ones we make obscene

Latin words across my heart
Symbols of infinity
Elements so pure
Atomic number

I am a spark
Of this machine
Purring like the city bus

Why are the wholesome things
The ones we make obscene
Well, if your mercy's lost I have enough for us

Latin words across my heart
Symbols of infinity
Elements so pure
Atomic number

Latin words across my heart
Symbols of infinity
Elements so pure
Atomic number

My atomic number
My atomic number
My atomic number

  13. l.... ....

    Even though I am straight, Republican, voted for Trump, (and fuck you if you don't like it), I have always loved k.d. lang for over 25 years now. My wife and I go to her concerts as much as we can. (I think we're the only straight Republican couple there,) I love the music and the audience, and I'm glad to see for who they are. I don't force my belief on anyone except for one thing; " Freedom of choice"

  14. M.... G....

    That's where I heard it also, back in the summer. Great song

  19. m.... ....

    This shit is BOMB

  20. S.... ....

    These three are the gold standard

  21. D.... W....

    honestly im starting to listen to more differant types of music and from the opening of this song already i knew i wud like this

  22. R.... W....

    great voices...

  23. n.... l....

    this feels good,
    I don't care that I don't know why.

  26. A.... O....

    thanks to shazam application i found whatsthe name of this song

  27. H.... H....

    Neko, you fiery fox, you did it again.

  28. I.... G....

    they all work wonderfully together, but neko on that chorus, holy shit...

  29. L.... S....

    what's this song about

    L.... S....

    The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which is characteristic of a chemical element and determines its place in the periodic table.

    L.... S....

    The volatility of relationships and how we destroy while being so beautifully creative and loving.

  30. s.... ....

    Preciooosa..

  31. p.... ....

    GMA - amazing live performance; fell into a trance

  32. j.... c....

    I love KD'S new style!

  33. D.... G....

    I, too, am a huge kd lang fan and probably would have taken a pass on this album had I not heard the trio interviewed on NPR. The blend of the voices is incredible and each song is fantastic in its own right. This album is going to be a classic!

  34. K.... ....

    Are they all lesbians?

    K.... ....

    idk, don't ask me

    K.... ....

    Because they look like lesbians that go to the library and read about feminism and the beauty of vaginas...also they're lesbians

  35. �.... �....

    Wentworth Miller brings me here 😁
    beautiful 😘

  36. a.... b....

    love you guys so much 😚👅💋❤💙💚💛💜💓💖💕💚💛💜💓💕💗💘💝💞💟👆👌

  37. B.... M....

    The show in Vancouver was FORMIDABLE. Gold in 3 colours. Pink, white and yellow.Read the Vancouver sun...I was lucky to be there.

  38. L.... a....

    I'll be honest: I'm a Veir's fan and that's the only reason I came, never even heard of Lang or Case. But after listening to this song (and the rest of the album of course!), I'll definitely be exploring the catelogue of the other two. This is some beautiful music from 3 very talented and soulful musicians. Absolutely inspiring.

  39. F.... L....

    solid album it has lots of replay value

  40. R.... T....

    Dopeeeee

  41. J.... G....

    Interesting seeing which artist brought who here and how they all make the same point that they weren't sure about the idea of this but actually love it

  42. A.... Z....

    BASS ASS

  43. J.... V....

    I assume the downvotes are from folks who don't like the fact that this sounds more like a Laura Veirs musical arrangement than a Case or Lang song (which is a good thing).

  44. T.... v....

    Perfect Album, was searching for a new album from K.D. Lang and was surprised to find this one......
    So mellow, melancholic, different and still so recognisable, beautiful!!!!!!

  45. a.... ....

    I'm a Laura Veirs fan, less so of the other 2 but this is stunningly beautiful

  46. J.... P....

    I heard this song in the movie theatre anyone else lol

    J.... P....

    yes me too! saw finding dory and i heard this and looked up after hearing that beautiful melody, "symbols of infinity..."

    Love neko case so I'm diggin this :)

    J.... P....

    +Will Tie is this featured in finding dory?

    J.... P....

    +Sam Coscia (Samuelcoop2005) No it was an ad before the movie.

    J.... P....

    +Cain's Chicken aww damn. I waited for it at the end credits to no avail obviously 😂

    J.... P....

    +Sam Coscia (Samuelcoop2005) after the Finding Dory credits?

  47. S.... Y....

    Very complimentary vocal match up.

  48. L.... D....

    Sublime and majestic.

  49. G.... Z....

    Amazing Music.

  50. E.... Z....

    BEAUTIFUL !!!!

    E.... Z....

    Purest atomic numbers, the beginning of what they are suppose to be and
    some come along and mess with them to turn them into disasters ... a
    girls face painted with makeup to look sexy...a womans body turned into
    vulgarity... chemical elements mixed to turn into nuclear bombs...
    Atomic number...

  51. V.... V....

    Absolutely love this song !😍

  52. Q.... 1....

    What a trio!! No slight to the other two very talented vocalists, songwriters, and musicians, but Neko Case has a voice that will forever be echoing in my head.

  53. �.... �....

  72. c.... ....

    Best thing I've heard in a while <3

  73. Y.... L....

    I listen to both Atomic Number and Best Kept Secret every evening before I turn in for bed. It just grows and grows on me. So have for such authentic and beautiful voices behind the best songwriting in years.

  74. M.... T....

    188 people are fucking idiots

    M.... T....

    +Matthew Thompson Forgive them, for they know not what they do. They can't help it. They don't understand and probably never will. Sometimes, it's just that way. With elements so pure, they'd spontaneously combust were they to 'get it'. Let it go.. let it go... not their fault.

    M.... T....

    +Yvon Loiselle Thank you Yvon, you have calmed me

  75. A.... M....

    unbelievably beautiful.... soul moving

  76. N.... T....

    love!!!

  78. B.... H....

    Gorgeous ... MOST ANTICIPATED ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!! GO GIRLS!!!!

  79. J.... R....

    this is absolutely stunning! each of these women has such a distinctive voice that I wasn't sure how well they would go together, but if the whole album is like this it will be spectacular

  80. M.... W....
