0一首温暖、俏皮又带着一点哲学意味的波萨诺瓦小品。
从孩子捡起一块石头开始：
它来自哪里？它比树、鸟和恐龙更古老吗？
它曾经是熔岩吗？
山会不会其实只是地球向上凸起的一部分？
也许，每一块石头都是一只没有指针的时钟；
每一座山，都是一本需要一百万年才能读完的书。
A warm, playful, slightly philosophical bossa nova song seen through the eyes of a curious child.
It begins with a simple question: Who made this stone? From there, the child wonders whether the rock is older than Grandma, older than trees, birds, even dinosaurs. Was it once lava? Could it become sand, and could sand become rock again? Is a mountain really just a mountain—or is it the Earth itself, pushing upward?
Through a playful dialogue between child and grown-up, the song turns geology into a child-sized adventure through rocks, mountains, rivers, volcanoes, oceans, and deep time. The chorus is deliberately simple and singable, while the questions gradually become bigger: Where does the Earth begin? What is underneath the ground? How far does time go?
By the end, the child places the stone back on the ground. The mountain says nothing. The river keeps moving. The Earth keeps turning—very slowly.
Maybe every stone is a little clock with no hands.
Maybe every mountain is a book that takes a million years to read.
Ultimately, “ROCK”is a gentle song about time, the Earth, curiosity, and our tiny place inside something unimaginably old.
