DESCRIPTION:
In 2015 the Nobel prize in Physics was awarded to Arthur B. McDonald, the director of SNO (the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory collaboration). In 1992, the year I was born, my parents were young scientists, working on the experiment. 23 years later , this is a musical tribute to the amazing discoveries and to mysteries still waiting to be solved.

The Sudbury sky’s released a downpour of snow
But if you’ll look underground, two thousand meters below
You’ll find that SNO lies there too, this team won’t melt till they know
Until they’ve shed the light on the mystery of neutrinos

It’s a case fit for detectives of the scientific kind
Not a smoky New York office but a sanitary mine
Neutrinos they are sneaky, they change their IDs all the time
So they must have mass though they travel light
But they move so fast like they’re chasing light
They’re elementary, dear Watson, if you catch one you'd better hold tight

Could these babies be the matter that we long to find?
Could this crack the code of time and space and human kind?
Well there’s shafts to go up to go down go across
And this full team of miners with McDonald as boss
Set out to prove at whatever the cost
That neutrinos are light and the matter's still in the dark

Could these babies be the matter that we long to find?
Could this lift the cloud that has been fogging up our minds?
Well there’s more to this life than there’s waves to the sea
Than there’s salt to the earth, than there’s sugar to your coffee
Everything that we know is just dust and debris
When compared to that dark misty matter we’ll never see
