[Andy:] ok. So uh...it...I don't know...is that...it's like the cover...

[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 in elliptical paths around a nucleus and all...we know...

mmhmm.

[David:] ...that's...that's not how an works. Or...or looks even, for that matter...

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

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

mmhmm. Mmhmm. Uhmm. Ok. Uh.
Tell...ok...what's the deal with these songs between the real...you know, the real songs?
Like are they significant? Uhmm...is there like a of the album?

And so the end starts with this...this called "the lark ascending."
now what is...what is the lark?
Is that...is that also a metaphor for

[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 the lark ascending was written...
it was a piece written by Vaughn Williams who in 1958,
and uh, the work with 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 this series of ascending and repeated and this...
these nimble then arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the poet George Meredith
who in 1909 and the composer included a portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf...

[Andy:] uh...

...of the published work

....hold on wait...

...uhmm...

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

...and it...

[Andy:] ...the they died?

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

"He and begins to round,

He the silver chain of sound,

Of many without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing till his fills,

love of earth that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the which overflows

To us with him as he goes.

Till on his aerial rings

In light, and the fancy sings."

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

[David:] I know.

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

yeah but I don't...
I don't feel like the lark much of the time and there are other larks for me you know?

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

yeah.

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

right.

[Andy:] ...making a point that art 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. Hold on. I mean...it...it so right here.

[David:] yeah. Uhmm. But the ground at my feet.

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

[David:] did you notice that 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 somewhere in between.
is where we live.
And sometimes some of us wing and when they do,
when their feet the ground, even for a second,
they the rest of us with them.
And we rise, and when we rise,
and when we notice 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 and we rise and we rise
and we rise and we rise and we and we rise...
