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 double thing.

yeah.

[Andy:] uhmm lets see...uh...and the atom on the cover pretty

uh huh.

[Andy:] cool. I was...I mean...I was never all that in science 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 don't know...is that...it's 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, not really...I mean it's a symbol.
You see that and you atom.
It shows electrons moving in 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 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 with these little songs between the real...you know, the real
Like are they significant? Uhmm...is there a theme of the album?
Or are creating space? Like what's...going on there?

uhmm. I don't...

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

we'll have to wait and see on that.

swell.

[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 with this...this piece called "the lark ascending."
now what 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 should read too much any of this you know
It's...I mean the ascending was written...
it was a piece by Vaughn Williams who died in 1958,
and uh, the work opens with 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...
nimble then elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the English poet George
who died in 1909 and the included a portion 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?

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

"He and begins 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 earth he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the which overflows

To lift us him as he goes.

Till on his aerial rings

In light, and then the sings."

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

[David:] I know.

[Andy:] sorry. I think i've got the 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 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 I have you're...

right.

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

right.

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

yes.

[Andy:] ...pulling the rest of us with it. That as the rises 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.

[Andy:] hold...hold on 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?

[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 sometimes some of us take wing and they do,
when their leave the ground, even for a second,
they pull the rest of us them.
And when we rise, and 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 rise and we
and we rise and we rise and we rise and we and we rise
and we rise and we rise and we and we rise...
