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 don't know...is that...it's with 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 that and you 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 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 is what we have you know?
It us carry the idea.

mmhmm. Mmhmm. Uhmm. Ok. Uh.
Tell...ok...what's the deal with little songs between the real...you know, the real songs?
Like are significant? Uhmm...is there like a theme of the album?
Or are creating space? Like what's...going on there?

uhmm. I don't...

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

we'll 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 with this...this piece called "the lark ascending."
now what 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 think you should read too much into any of 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 this calm set of sustained chords and then (coughs) sorry.
me. And uhmm.
Anyway and so then the violin as the lark and it...
it starts with series of ascending and repeated intervals and this...
these nimble elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the 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 died?

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

"He rises and to round,

He the silver chain of sound,

Of many without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing till his fills,

'Tis love of earth he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the wine which

To us with him as he goes.

Till on his aerial rings

In light, and the fancy sings."

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

[David:] I know.

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

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

yeah. Uhmm. But the ground pulls 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. Hold on.

[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 some of us take and when they do,
their feet leave 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 been 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 and we rise and we rise
and we rise and we rise and we and we rise...
