Story Behind The Song
When you're trying to make a relationship work, you rack your brain... but that's not where the answer is. You can develop the theory of relativity, but relationships-- that's an entirely different set of rules.
Song Description
A love song featuring Albert Einstein... who, despite rearranging the way we see the whole universe can't offer any help when it comes to human relationships.

Lyrics
Everything is Relative © 1994, Words and Music by John Gahl
Albert was a genius Played the violin
Did a lot of thinking ?Bout the predicament that we got ourselves in
Wore a leather jacket Couldn?t count his change
But he couldn?t stop from dreaming ?Til everything was rearranged
Everything is relative
Ahhh... I know that?s true
?Cause, particle for particle, I?m nothin? without you.
Albert was a sailor Sailed ideas across the sky
Didn?t have the answer Just kept on asking why
Had no time for permanence He knew that everything must change
Life without you is eternity Isn?t science strange?
Everything is relative
I hold that point of view
But Particle for particle, It?s nothin? like holding you.
Staring at the ceiling In the middle of the night
Knowing absolutely That Albert had it right.
You can memorize the numbers Take the universe apart
But you?re never gonna figure out The mathematics of the human heart
Everything is relative
I hold that point of view
But Particle for particle, It?s nothin? like holding you.
