III. Blood Red, Leaves Green
The author notes “haemoglobin and chlorophyll resemble each other almost exactly” that what makes our blood red, lets plants ‘eat the sunshine’. The third movement, Blood Red, Leaves Green zooms in and out telescopically; from atoms to cells to larger thoughts, all in a bed of playful minimalism.

lyrics

III. Blood Red, Leaves Green
[…] That year, I learned in a reading group that the molecular structures of hemoglobin and chlorophyll resemble each other almost exactly. In both molecules, more than a hundred atoms of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon are arranged in identical concentric rings that surround a single atom of metal.

In hemoglobin, the atom is iron; in chlorophyll, the atom is magnesium. The molecule that makes our blood red and brings oxygen to our cells is nearly the same as the one that makes leaves green and allows them to create a plant’s food from carbon dioxide, water and light.
