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 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...

[David:] ...and so....and so that's why it was 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,
much like the atom depiction. But is what we have you know?
It us carry the idea.

Uhmm now what is...what is the
Is that...is that also a for something?

[David:] uhmm. I gue...I I guess. I just...I don't think...
I don't think you should read too 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 opens with calm set of sustained chords and then (coughs) sorry.
me. And uhmm.
Anyway and so the violin enters as the lark and it...
it with this series of ascending and repeated intervals and this...
these nimble then arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a by the English poet George Meredith
who in 1909 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 they

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

"He and begins to round,

He the silver chain of sound,

Of links without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing his heaven fills,

'Tis of earth that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the wine which

To lift us him as he goes.

Till lost on his aerial

In light, and then the sings."

[Andy:] huh. Wow. nice. But I mean...but who is the lark?

[David:] I know.

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

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

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

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

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

wait. Hold on. What?

[David:] we're walking in it. We're in the sky.
There is sky and there is and we're 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 we rise, and when 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 and we rise and we rise 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...
