[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 like the cover...

well...

[Andy:] ...just or...

...nah. Well I mean. Yeah.
The...uh...atom, it's not really...I it's a symbol.
You see that and you atom.
It shows electrons moving in elliptical paths around a 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...

...well...and what 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 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 like a theme of the album?
Or are they creating space? what's...going on there?

uhmm. I don't...

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

we'll have to wait and see on that.

[David:] it swell.

no. It swells.

oh. Right. It swells. Uhmm. Ok. Well.
And so the end with this...this piece called "the lark ascending."
Uhmm now is...what is the lark?
Is that...is that a metaphor for something?

uhmm. I gue...I mean I guess. I just...I don't think...
I don't you should read too much into any of this you know
It's...I mean the lark was written...
it was a written by Vaughn Williams who died in 1958,
and uh, the work opens 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 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 composer included a portion of Meredith's on the flyleaf...

wait uh...

[David:] ...of the 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 drops the silver of sound,

Of many without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing his heaven fills,

love of earth that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the which overflows

To lift us him as he goes.

Till lost on his rings

In light, and then the sings."

[Andy:] huh. Wow. 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 something 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 correct me if I'm but uhmm...

yeah.

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

right.

[Andy:] ...making a point 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. 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 what about the number 7?

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

[Andy:] wait. on. What?

[David:] we're walking around in it. in the sky.
There is sky and is ground and we're somewhere in between.
is where we live.
And sometimes of us take wing and when they do,
when their feet leave the ground, 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 been us all along.
We have been walking it. It has been this constant collision.
and depravity.
And we 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 and we rise and we rise...
