about

A single from Jim's 2020 album 'Here Be Dragons'.

Kate Stables of This Is The Kit says: "Jim McAteer has a new album out and it's a beauty, have a listen to 'in love with every atom'
and see if it doesn't give you hope."

Jim is a uniquely loveable singer-songwriter from Glasgow
and 'In Love With Every Atom' is an acoustic country-folk delight,
poetic and lovelorn, but ultimately hopeful, as it rolls by like a warm breeze.

'Here Be Dragons' came out on 29 February 2020, and happily enjoyed a brilliant launch night. But subsequently, as with all gigging musicians, opportunities to play and share the album with live audiences have been nonexistent. So we very much appreciate you listening and sharing this single and album, and we hope you enjoy them.

"An album which, aside from being a grand listen, offers much food for thought" Paul Kerr, Blabber 'n' Smoke

'In Love With Every Atom' is released collaboratively by Fox Star Records and Sonic Bull.

lyrics

I'll be knocking on your bedroom door
Sometime after half past four
Each day I love you more and more
I hope that you do too

I love to see your sleepy features
Just like some nocturnal creature's
Let's practise what that creature preaches
And sleep the whole day through

I don't know why I love you so
I guess it only goes to show
There's nothing in this world we know
Only what we need

But we all need what we can't own
We have to take it out on loan
And the interest that we pay has grown
Beyond all measured means

Well I'm in love with every atom
Every molecule it's true
There's nothing that I don't like about you
There's a sparkle in your eye
That just can't be denied
No matter how much I might try

Well I am left bereft without you
Standing lonely as a statue
Stone cold, old and void of virtue
Staring at the sky

My feet are rooted to the ground
My lips are sealed, can't make a sound
My eyes are fixed so I am bound
To watch the free birds fly

And yet I don't regret we met
The good times I will not forget
The best that anyone can get
Maybe more to go

For your atoms I'm a fool
I don't mind your molecules
Each subatomic particle
Can brighten up my soul

Well I'm in love with every atom
Every molecule it's true
There's nothing that I don't like about you
There's a sparkle in your eye
That just can't be denied
No matter how much I might try

Well I'm in love with every atom
In the whole universe
There's nothing that I don't like about it
You could take it all away
I know you will some day
But it's all mine today

Well I'm in love with every atom
In the whole universe
There's nothing that I don't like about it
You could take it all away
I know you will some day
But it's all mine today
