Fiona Apple - Every Single Night

Here's Fiona Apple's official website (from which I took the following lyrics)

From observation to discovery, to History

The confirmation of the discovery.

The Higgs particle explained.

What is the moon?

The whitish zigzags are made by night insects attracted by the neon lights.

"BOYLE:  I seen things, I seen things, Joxer, that no mortal man should speak about that knows his catechism. Ofen, and ofen, when I was fixed to the wheel with a marlin-spike, an' the wins blowin' fierce an' the waves lashin' and lashin' till you'd think every minute was goin' to be your last, an' it blowed and blowed - blew is the right word, Joxer, but blowed is the word the sailors use....

JOXER: Aw it's a darlin' word, a daarlin' word. 

BOYLE: An' as it blowed an' blowed,  I ofen looked up at the sky an' assed meself the question - what is the stars, what is the stars? 

JOXER: Ah, that's the question, that's the question - what is the stars? 

BOYLE: An' then, I'd have another look, an' I'd ass meself - what is the moon?

JOXER: Ah, that's the question - what is the moon, what is the moon?"

The live announcement of the particle's 'discovery'.

and

a more thorough, albeit complex, summary of the particle's characteristics.

Expensive...but not quite so.
