mmhmm.

[Andy:] ...whole double thing.

yeah.

[Andy:] uhmm lets see...uh...and the atom on the cover that's

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 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 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 works. Or...or looks even, for that matter...

ok.

[David:] ...and so....and so that's why it was 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 helps us the idea.

mmhmm. Mmhmm. Uhmm. Ok. Uh.
Tell...ok...what's the deal these 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 know I hear there's really spectacular ending to...
to the record is true?

no. It swells.

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

[David:] uhmm. I gue...I mean I guess. I just...I think...
I don't think you read too much into any of this you know
It's...I the lark ascending was written...
it was a piece written by Williams who died in 1958,
and uh, the work opens with this set of sustained chords and then (coughs) sorry.
me. And uhmm.
Anyway and so the violin enters as the lark and it...
it starts this series of ascending and repeated intervals and this...
these nimble elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a by the English poet George Meredith
who died in and the composer included a portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf...

wait uh...

[David:] ...of the published

....hold on wait...

...uhmm...

[Andy:] ...why do you mentioning...

...and it...

[Andy:] ...the year died?

...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 of earth that he instills,

And winging up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the wine which

To lift us him as he goes.

Till lost on his aerial

In light, and the fancy 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 me says something different. It says, "you are."

yeah but I don't...
I don't like the lark much of the time and uhmm 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 I have 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 with it. 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 mean what the number 7?

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

wait. Hold on. What?

[David:] we're walking around in it. in the sky.
There is sky and there is ground and we're in between.
is where we live.
And sometimes some of us wing and when they do,
their feet leave the ground, even for a second,
they 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 have been 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 and we rise and we rise
and we and we rise and we rise and we rise...
