[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...

is that a metaphor or...uh...I mean is it metaphorical for or like, or is it...

well...

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

[David:] ...nah. I mean. Yeah.
The...uh...atom, it's not really...I it's a symbol.
You see and you think 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 even, for that matter...

ok.

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

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

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

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

no. It swells.

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

[David:] uhmm. I gue...I I guess. I just...I don't think...
I don't think you should read too into any of this you know
It's...I mean the lark was written...
it was a piece written by Vaughn who died in 1958,
and uh, the work opens with this calm set of sustained chords and (coughs) sorry.
me. And uhmm.
Anyway and so then the enters as the lark and it...
it starts with this series of ascending and repeated and this...
these nimble elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the poet George Meredith
who died in 1909 and the composer included a of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf...

wait uh...

[David:] ...of the work

....hold on wait...

...uhmm...

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

...and it...

[Andy:] ...the year died?

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

"He rises and to round,

He drops the chain of sound,

Of links without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing till his fills,

'Tis love of that he instills,

And winging up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the wine which

To us with him as he goes.

Till lost on his aerial

In light, and then the sings."

[Andy:] huh. Wow. nice. But I mean...but who is the lark?

I don't know.

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

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

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

[Andy:] ...you know the whole, it rises on from earth 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 pulls at my feet.

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

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

wait. Hold on. What?

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