[Andy:] uhmm lets see...uh...and the on the cover that's pretty

uh huh.

[Andy:] cool. I was...I mean...I was all that 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...

[Andy:] ok. So uh...it...I don't know...is that...it's like 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 mean 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 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 really I see the connection. But...

[David:] ...well...and we mean to say is that the elements of worship are inadequate,
like 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 songs between the real...you know, the real songs?

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 too much into any of this you know
It's...I mean the lark was written...
it was a piece written by Williams who died in 1958,
and uh, the work opens with this calm set of chords and then (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 then elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually inspiration in a work by the English poet George Meredith
who died in 1909 and the composer included a portion of poem on the flyleaf...

wait uh...

[David:] ...of the published

....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 drops the chain of sound,

Of links without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing till his fills,

love of earth that he instills,

And winging up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the wine which

To lift us him as he goes.

Till lost on his rings

In light, and then the sings."

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

I don't know.

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

[David:] but I don't...
I feel like the lark 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...

yeah.

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

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

[Andy:] but. Uh. Hold on. I mean...it...it says so 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 notice that the sky is all the way to the ground?

[Andy:] wait. on. What?

[David:] walking 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 and when they do,
their feet leave 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 this 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 and we rise and we rise...
