Um...so your new CD is a collision, or...um...3 + 4 = 7 that's..
that's interesting. You the...the...

mmhmm.

[Andy:] ...whole double 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 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 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 it's a symbol.
You see and you think atom.
It shows electrons moving in elliptical paths a nucleus and all...we know...

mmhmm.

[David:] ...that's...that's not how an works. Or...or looks 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 that the 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 between the real...you know, the songs?
Like are they significant? Uhmm...is there like a of the album?
Or are they creating space? Like what's...going on

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

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 a metaphor for something?

[David:] uhmm. I gue...I mean I guess. I just...I 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 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 the violin enters as the lark and it...
it starts with series of ascending and repeated intervals 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 work

....hold on wait...

...uhmm...

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

...and it...

[Andy:] ...the year died?

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

"He rises and to round,

He the silver chain of sound,

Of many links a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing till his fills,

'Tis love of that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the wine which

To us with him as he goes.

lost on his aerial rings

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 i've got the wrong page. Uhmm.
The script you gave me something different. It says, "you are."

yeah but I don't...
I don't feel like the 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...

[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 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 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?

wait. Hold on. What?

[David:] we're 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,
when their feet leave the ground, for a second,
they the rest of us with them.
And we rise, and when we rise,
and when we notice that the sky has been us all along.
We have walking into it. It has been this constant collision.
and depravity.
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 rise and we and we rise...
