Let me...give me a second to get set up here.

but I've got some that are big fans and um...

right.

[Andy:] but...uh...anyway...um...alright. Well. Ok. So we go.
Um...so new CD is titled a collision, or...um...3 + 4 = 7 that's..
that's interesting. You the...the...

mmhmm.

[Andy:] ...whole title thing.

yeah.

[Andy:] uhmm lets see...uh...and the atom on the that's pretty

uh huh.

[Andy:] cool. I was...I mean...I was never all that in science and.
And wasn't really my...my specialty...which is...which is I guess,
you know, why I'm a now. But uh...

mmhmm.

...anyway um...

ok.

[Andy:] ok. So uh...it...I don't know...is that...it's with the cover...
is a metaphor or...uh...I mean is it metaphorical for something or like, or is it...

well...

...just pretty or...

[David:] ...nah. I mean. Yeah.
The...uh...atom, it's not really...I mean a symbol.
You see that and you atom.
It shows electrons moving in elliptical paths a nucleus and all...we know...

mmhmm.

[David:] ...that's...that's not how an atom works. Or...or looks even, for matter...

ok.

[David:] ...and so....and so why it was appropriate for the cover, you know...

right. Uhmm. Ok. Yeah. I'm not really sure I see the connection. But...

[David:] ...well...and we mean to say is that the elements of worship are inadequate,
much the atom depiction. But this is what we have you know?
It us carry the idea.

mmhmm. Mmhmm. Uhmm. Ok. Uh.
Tell...ok...what's the deal these little songs between the real...you know, the real songs?
Like are they significant? Uhmm...is there like a of the album?
Or are they creating Like what's...going on there?

uhmm. I don't...

[Andy:] ok. Uhmm. So you I hear there's this really spectacular ending to...
to the is that true?

[David:] have to wait and see on that.

swell.

[David:] it swell.

[Andy:] wait...uh it...wait...hold on...it well?

no. It swells.

oh. Right. It swells. Uhmm. Ok. Well.
And so the end with this...this piece called "the lark ascending."
now what is...what is the lark?
Is that...is also a metaphor for something?

uhmm. I gue...I mean I guess. I just...I don't think...
I don't think you should read too much into any of this you
It's...I mean the ascending was written...
it was a written by Vaughn Williams who died in 1958,
and uh, the work opens this calm set of sustained chords and then (coughs) sorry.
me. And uhmm.
Anyway and so the violin enters as the lark and it...
it starts with this series of ascending and repeated and this...
these then elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the English poet George
who died in and the composer included a portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf...

wait uh...

[David:] ...of the published

....hold on wait...

...uhmm...

[Andy:] ...why do you mentioning...

...and it...

[Andy:] ...the they died?

[David:] ...well it went...and it went like it says uh...

"He rises and to round,

He the silver chain of sound,

Of many without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing till his fills,

love of earth that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the wine which

To us with him as he goes.

Till on his aerial rings

In light, and the fancy sings."

[Andy:] huh. Wow. That's nice. But I mean...but who is the

I don't know.

[Andy:] sorry. I i've got the wrong page. Uhmm.
The script you gave me says different. It says, "you are."

[David:] but I don't...
I don't like the lark much of the time and uhmm there are other larks for me you know?

wait a second. Ok. So correct me if I'm wrong but uhmm...

yeah.

[Andy:] ...in the script I you're...

right.

[Andy:] ...making a that art does this...

right.

[Andy:] ...you know the whole, it rises on wing from to fill the heavens...

yes.

[Andy:] ...pulling the rest of us with it. That as the lark so do we."

right. I'm unsure.

[Andy:] but. Uh. Hold on. I mean...it...it so right here.

[David:] yeah. Uhmm. But the ground at my feet.

hold...hold on just a second. Uh but I mean what about the number 7?

[David:] did you notice that the sky is all the way to the ground?

[Andy:] wait. on. What?

[David:] we're walking in it. We're in the sky.
is sky and there is ground and we're somewhere in between.
That is we live.
And sometimes some of us take wing and they do,
when their feet the ground, even for a second,
they pull the rest of us them.
And we rise, and when we rise,
and when we notice that the sky has around us all along.
We have been walking into it. It has been this collision.
and depravity.
And we rise and we rise and we rise and we and we rise
and we rise and we and we rise and we rise and we rise
and we and we rise and we rise and we rise...
