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

uh huh.

[Andy:] cool. I was...I mean...I was never all that great in and.
And math 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 know...is that...it's like with the cover...
is that a or...uh...I mean is it metaphorical for something or like, or is it...

well...

[Andy:] ...just or...

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

mmhmm.

[David:] ...that's...that's not how an atom works. Or...or even, for that 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 what we mean to say is that the elements of are inadequate,
much the atom depiction. But this is what we have you know?
It helps us the idea.

mmhmm. Mmhmm. Uhmm. Ok. Uh.
Tell...ok...what's the with these little songs between the real...you know, the real songs?
Like are they significant? Uhmm...is like a theme 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 record is true?

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

[David:] it swell.

wait...uh it...wait...hold on...it does well?

no. It swells.

oh. Right. It swells. Uhmm. Ok. Well.
And so the end starts this...this piece called "the lark ascending."
Uhmm now what is...what is the
Is that...is that 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 lark was written...
it was a piece written by Vaughn 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 with this series of ascending and repeated intervals and this...
these nimble then arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually inspiration in a work by the English poet George Meredith
who died in 1909 and the composer included a portion of poem on the flyleaf...

[Andy:] uh...

...of the published work

....hold on wait...

...uhmm...

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

...and it...

[Andy:] ...the year they

...well it went...and it went like this it says uh...

"He rises and to round,

He drops the silver of sound,

Of many without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing his heaven fills,

'Tis love of earth he instills,

And winging up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the wine overflows

To us with him as he goes.

Till on his aerial rings

In light, and then the sings."

huh. Wow. That's nice. But I mean...but who is the lark?

[David:] I know.

[Andy:] sorry. I think got the wrong page. Uhmm.
The you gave me says something different. It says, "you are."

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

[Andy:] a second. Ok. So correct me if I'm wrong but uhmm...

yeah.

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

right.

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

right.

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

yes.

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

right. I'm unsure.

[Andy:] but. Uh. Hold on. I mean...it...it says so 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 ever that the sky is all the way to the ground?

[Andy:] wait. on. What?

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