but got some friends that are big fans 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..
interesting. You know the...the...

mmhmm.

[Andy:] ...whole double thing.

yeah.

[Andy:] uhmm see...uh...and the atom 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...

ok.

[Andy:] ok. So uh...it...I don't know...is that...it's like the cover...
is that a metaphor or...uh...I mean is it metaphorical for or like, or is it...

well...

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

...nah. Well I mean. Yeah.
The...uh...atom, it's not really...I it's a symbol.
You see and you think atom.
It shows electrons moving in elliptical paths 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 why it was appropriate for the cover, you know...

right. Uhmm. Ok. Yeah. I'm not really sure I see the connection. But...

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

mmhmm. Mmhmm. Uhmm. Ok. Uh.
Tell...ok...what's the deal with these little between the real...you know, the real songs?
Like are they Uhmm...is there like a theme 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 this spectacular ending to...
to the record is true?

[David:] have to wait and see on that.

swell.

[David:] it swell.

[Andy:] wait...uh it...wait...hold on...it well?

no. It swells.

oh. Right. It swells. Uhmm. Ok. Well.
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 read too much into any of this you
It's...I the lark ascending was written...
it was a piece written by Vaughn Williams who in 1958,
and uh, the work opens this calm set of sustained 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 and repeated intervals and this...
these nimble elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the English George Meredith
who died in 1909 and the composer included a 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 year they

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

"He and begins to round,

He drops the silver of sound,

Of links without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing till his fills,

'Tis love of earth he instills,

And winging up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the which overflows

To us with him as he goes.

Till lost on his 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 of the time and uhmm there are other larks for me you know?

wait a second. Ok. So correct me if I'm wrong but uhmm...

yeah.

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

right.

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

right.

[Andy:] ...you know the whole, it rises on wing earth 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 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. Hold on.

[David:] walking around in it. We're in the sky.
is sky and there is ground and we're somewhere in between.
That is we live.
And sometimes some of us wing and when they do,
when their feet leave the ground, for a second,
pull the rest 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 been this collision.
and depravity.
And we rise and we rise and we rise and we and we rise
and we and we rise and we rise and we rise and we rise
and we rise and we and we rise and we rise...
