A Very Cellular Song
"A Very Cellular Song" is a song by the Incredible String Band, written by Mike Heron, released on the 1968 album ''The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter''.
==Composition and musical structure==
The longest number on the album, the song is a 13-minute reflection on life, love, and amoebas, whose complex structure incorporates a Bahamian spiritual ("I Bid You Goodnight", originally recorded by the Pinder Family〔(The Bahamas: The Real Bahamas in Music and Song ) Nonesuch Records site〕〔(Waterson : Carthy | Keeping it in the Family ) - Sleep on Beloved〕). Heron next sings a passage beginning "Who would lose and who would bruise", whose tune is to be reprised later on in the piece. This is followed by an ode to mitosis, sung from the point of view of an amoeba, introduced by Licorice McKechnie saying the words "Amoebas are very small". The last part of "A Very Cellular Song", "May the Long Time Sun Shine", is sometimes wrongly referred to as a Sikh hymn or an Irish blessing, but is in fact an original song written by Mike Heron. The numerous parts of the song are woven together by Heron's harpsichord sections and Williamson's instrumental passages on the gimbri and Jew's harp.
Heron later said of the song, "All it was was a trip, and that was the music I was listening to, that and interspersed with Radio 4, bits of plays, people talking to each other, and I happened to be listening to the Pinder Family before I started."
