Dr G - Motion (Official Lyric Video)

We are in Motion! 🔄 Very pleased to present the brand-new #FACTORfunded lyric video for my song Motion, the final single from my Physics EP, and possibly the catchiest, dance-iest song I've ever recorded! The song is an introduction to the basic principles of motion, as well as to all the ways that the universe around us is in motion. Are you ready to dance... and get Newtonian??

Lyrics:
If I was drifting in outer space
No gravity keeping me in place
Well I could move at a constant pace
I’d be in motion
I’d be in motion

But if I was acted on by a force
It would change my speed and alter my course
And I would do the same to it in reverse
I’d be in motion
I’d be in motion

We are in motion
Standing on a planet that’s in motion
Moving round a star that’s in motion
We’re part of a galaxy in motion
We are in motion
And if you’re moving to the left
Or moving to the right
If you’re sleeping in your bed
Or if you’re dancing all night
We are in motion
We’re part of a Universe in motion

If you knew my trajectory
And you could measure my velocity
Well you could calculate where I’ll be
I’d be in motion
I’d be in motion

Motion is change in position over time
If I’m going fast, my velocity is high, but
If it looks like I am standing still to your eye
I’d be in motion
I’d still be in motion

We are in motion
Standing on a planet that’s in motion
Moving round a star that’s in motion
We’re part of a galaxy in motion
We are in motion
And if you’re moving to the left
Or moving to the right
If you’re sleeping in your bed
Or if you’re dancing all night
We are in motion
We’re part of a Universe in motion

Let’s get Newtonian!
First law:
A body in motion will tend to stay in motion
A body at rest will tend to stay at rest
Second law:
Force is equal to the mass of a body
Multiplied by the acceleration of the body
Third law:
When a body exerts a force on another body
The other body exerts the same force in the opposite direction

We are in motion
Standing on a planet that’s in motion
Moving round a star that’s in motion
We’re part of a galaxy in motion
We are in motion
And if you’re moving to the left
Or moving to the right
If you’re sleeping in your bed
Or if you’re dancing all night
We are in motion
We’re part of a Universe in motion
