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:] lets see...uh...and the atom 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...

...nah. Well I mean. Yeah.
The...uh...atom, not really...I mean it's a symbol.
You see that and you atom.
It shows electrons in elliptical paths around 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 that's why it was for the cover, you know...

[Andy:] right. Uhmm. Ok. Yeah. I'm not really I see the connection. But...

[David:] ...well...and what we mean to say is the elements of worship are inadequate,
like 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 with these little between the real...you know, the real songs?
Like are significant? Uhmm...is there like a theme of the album?
Or are they space? Like what's...going on there?

uhmm. I don't...

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

no. It swells.

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

[David:] uhmm. I gue...I I guess. I just...I don't think...
I don't think you read too much into any of this you know
It's...I mean the ascending was written...
it was a piece written by 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 series of ascending and repeated intervals and this...
these nimble elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the English poet George
who died in 1909 and the composer 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 year died?

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

"He rises and to round,

He drops the chain of sound,

Of many links a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing his heaven fills,

'Tis love of that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the wine overflows

To lift us him as he goes.

Till lost on his aerial

In light, and then the sings."

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

[David:] I know.

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

[David:] but I don't...
I feel like the lark much of the time 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...

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

right.

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

yes.

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

right. I'm unsure.

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

yeah. Uhmm. But the ground pulls at my feet.

[Andy:] hold...hold on just a second. Uh but I mean about the number 7?

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

[Andy:] wait. Hold on.

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