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..
that's interesting. You the...the...

mmhmm.

[Andy:] ...whole double thing.

yeah.

[Andy:] uhmm lets see...uh...and the atom on the cover pretty

uh huh.

[Andy:] cool. I was...I mean...I was never all that great in 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 know...is that...it's like with the cover...
is a metaphor 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 it's a symbol.
You see and you think 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 looks even, for matter...

ok.

[David:] ...and so....and so why it was appropriate for the cover, you know...

[Andy:] right. Uhmm. Ok. Yeah. I'm not 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 helps us the idea.

mmhmm. Mmhmm. Uhmm. Ok. Uh.
Tell...ok...what's the with these little songs between the real...you know, the real songs?
Like are they significant? Uhmm...is 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 that

[David:] we'll to wait and see on that.

swell.

[David:] it swell.

[Andy:] wait...uh it...wait...hold on...it does

no. It swells.

oh. Right. It swells. Uhmm. Ok. Well.
And so the end with this...this piece called "the lark ascending."
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 mean the ascending was written...
it was a piece written by Vaughn Williams who 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 violin enters as the and it...
it starts with this series of and repeated intervals and this...
these then elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the English George Meredith
who died in 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 rises and to round,

He drops the chain of sound,

Of many links a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing his heaven fills,

'Tis love of earth he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the which overflows

To us with 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.

sorry. I think i've got the wrong page. Uhmm.
The you gave me says something different. It says, "you are."

[David:] but I don't...
I don't feel like the lark much of the time and uhmm there are other 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 earth to 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 just a second. Uh but I 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.
is where 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 we rise, and when we rise,
and when we notice that the sky has around us all along.
We been walking into it. It has been this constant collision.
and depravity.
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 and we rise
and we and we rise and we rise and we rise...
