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

[David:] ...nah. I mean. Yeah.
The...uh...atom, not really...I mean 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 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 that the of worship are inadequate,
much like the atom depiction. But this is 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 they significant? Uhmm...is like a theme of the album?
Or are creating space? Like what's...going on there?

And so the end starts with this...this piece "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 should read too much into any of this you
It's...I mean the lark was written...
it was a piece written by Vaughn Williams who in 1958,
and uh, the work opens with this calm set of sustained chords and (coughs) sorry.
me. And uhmm.
Anyway and so then the violin enters as the and it...
it with this series of ascending and repeated intervals and this...
these nimble then arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he found inspiration in a work by the English poet George Meredith
who died in 1909 and the composer included a 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 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 without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing till his fills,

love of earth that 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 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 me says something different. It says, "you are."

yeah but I don't...
I don't feel like the much 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...

[Andy:] ...pulling the rest of us with it. That as the 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 about the 7?

did you ever notice that the sky is all the way to the ground?

[Andy:] wait. Hold on.

[David:] we're around 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 of us take wing and when they do,
when feet leave the ground, even for a second,
they pull the of us with them.
And we rise, and when we rise,
and we notice that the sky has been around us all along.
We have walking into it. It has been this constant collision.
and depravity.
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 rise and we
and we rise and we and we rise and we rise...
