but I've got some friends that are big and um...

right.

[Andy:] but...uh...anyway...um...alright. Well. Ok. So we go.
Um...so your new CD is 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 great in science and.
And math wasn't 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, it's not really...I mean a symbol.
You see and you think atom.
It electrons moving 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 that's why it was for the cover, you know...

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

[David:] ...well...and what we to say is that 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 these little songs between the real...you know, the real songs?
Like are they significant? Uhmm...is there like a 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 really spectacular ending to...
to the is that true?

[David:] 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 starts this...this piece called "the lark ascending."
Uhmm now is...what is the lark?
Is that...is that also a for something?

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

He drops the silver of sound,

Of many links a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For till his heaven fills,

love of earth that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the wine overflows

To us with him as he goes.

Till lost on his aerial

In light, and the fancy sings."

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

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 feel like the lark much of the time and uhmm 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 art does this...

right.

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

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

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

[Andy:] wait. on. What?

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