How long’s it been…

ABOUT THE SONG

After a thunderstorm, the ions in the air are referred to as negative air ions (NAIs). These are primarily negatively charged oxygen molecules (O2-) and their clusters, formed during lightning strikes and other atmospheric electrical discharges.

Negative air ions (NAIs) can contribute to making the air smell better by reducing the presence of airborne pollutants that cause unpleasant odors. This is achieved through a process called ionization, where NAIs attach to airborne particles and cause them to clump together. 
  1. Negative Ion Generation: Air ionizers release negative ions into the air.
  2. Ion Attachment: These negative ions attach to airborne pollutants like dust, allergens, and smoke particles, many of which carry a positive charge.
  3. Particle Clumping: This attachment process causes the particles to clump together into larger, heavier units.
  4. Settling: These heavier particles then fall out of the air, either landing on surfaces or being captured by an air purifier’s filters (if present). 
By removing these odor-causing particles from the air, the overall air quality improves and the air may seem fresher.

Look to the sky… all’s clear

Finding an even keel

No loss if all have won
Let’s begin the win-win
Say goodbye to sigh

I wasn’t sure about the pain
… wasn’t sure about the strain
How could love feel like hell?
Well…

If you just love yourself
You’ll have no wealth
If it’s all me, me, me
Your life’s a tragedy

Love brings no pain
(Don’t go insane)
It’s not you
(Who’s hearts untrue)

I wasn’t sure I could remain
… wasn’t sure I should refrain
How could love feel like this?
(Vinegar and piss)

If you just love yourself
You’ll have no wealth
If it’s all me, me, me
Your life’s a tragedy
