Um...so new CD is titled a collision, or...um...3 + 4 = 7 that's..
that's interesting. You 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 never all that great in and.
And math really 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 is it metaphorical for something or like, or is it...

well...

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

...nah. Well I mean. Yeah.
The...uh...atom, it's not really...I mean a symbol.
You see that and you atom.
It shows moving in elliptical paths around 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 to say is that the elements of worship are inadequate,
much like the depiction. But this is what we have 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 significant? Uhmm...is there like a theme of the
Or are they 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 is that true?

[David:] we'll 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 this...this piece called "the lark ascending."
now what is...what is the lark?
Is that...is also a metaphor for something?

[David:] uhmm. I gue...I I guess. I just...I don't think...
I don't think you should too much into any of this you know
It's...I mean the lark was written...
it was a written by Vaughn Williams who died in 1958,
and uh, the work with 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 ascending and repeated and this...
these then elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the English poet 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?

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

"He and begins to round,

He drops the silver of sound,

Of many links a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For till his heaven fills,

love of earth that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our valley is his 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. 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."

[David:] but I don't...
I don't feel the lark much of the time and uhmm there are other larks for me you know?

[Andy:] 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 art does this...

right.

[Andy:] ...you the whole, it rises on wing from earth to fill the heavens...

yes.

[Andy:] ...pulling the of us with it. That as the lark rises so do we."

right. I'm unsure.

[Andy:] but. Uh. on. I mean...it...it says so right 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 ever notice that the sky is all the way to the

[Andy:] wait. Hold on.

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