Lyrics
Three stones in a shallow pan
Watch the waves cross where they land
Freeze the water, lift the ice
Hold the ripple in your hands
Now break the ice into pieces
Hold the smallest chip to the light
Tell me what you see inside
All three stones still shining bright
Three stones in a shallow pan
Watch the waves cross where they land
Freeze the water, lift the ice
Hold the ripple in your hands
Drop three pebbles in a pan... watch the ripples spread
Waves cross over, leave a pattern... where they met instead
Freeze that water solid, hold it up... now what you see
Is a map of all the interference... that's your memory
Shine a laser through that ice... same frequency, in step
Three stones floating in the air... from a surface you just left
Flat piece of ice... became a lens that hold dimension
Even warped, it still project it right... that's what I'm mentioning
Now... split that laser at a mirror, send one beam straight through
Bounce the other off an object... it come back with news
When they meet up on the film, they write... what happened there
Break the film in any piece... the whole picture still in there
Three stones in a shallow pan
Watch the waves cross where they land
Freeze the water, lift the ice
Hold the ripple in your hands
Three stones in a shallow pan
Watch the waves cross where they land
Freeze the water, lift the ice
Hold the ripple in your hands
Tune in anywhere you want...
the signal always there
Like a radio that play...
every station, every prayer
Can you feel it getting wider...
can you feel the edges gone
The more you wake, the more you find...
You standing where I stand (stand stand stand)
Three stones in a shallow pan
Watch the waves cross where they land
Freeze the water, lift the ice
Hold the ripple in your hands
Look into a stranger's eye... and hold it for a while
Tell me what you recognize... behind that other smile
Who you think is looking back
Who you think is looking back
Who you think is looking back
Three stones in a shallow pan
Watch the waves cross where they land
Freeze the water, lift the ice
Hold the ripple in your hands
The Story
When I think about physics, I don’t think simple. Then I read the appendix to Itzhak Bentov’s A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness, and he explains a hologram with three pebbles and a pan of water. Freeze the ripples, shine a light through the ice, and the pebbles hang in the air. Break off a chip and all three are still there.
I had no idea it could be that simple to grasp.
I think music can teach things like this. You don’t sit down to study a song. You play it again, and it stays with you. That’s why I wanted to put this one to music.
