Let me...give me a second to get set up here.

[Andy:] yeah. Made a few around here

uh...well...we'll have to wait and see I guess.

[Andy:] well. Alright. Well. Umm. Well. Hey, get started.
Uh...sorry my are...you know a little scattered here...

you know...you... You...or the band...
but I've got some friends are big fans and um...

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 see...uh...and the atom on the cover that's pretty

uh huh.

[Andy:] cool. I was...I mean...I was never all that 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 know...is that...it's like with the cover...
is that a metaphor or...uh...I 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 mean a symbol.
You see and you think 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 that's why it was for the cover, you know...

[Andy:] right. Uhmm. Ok. Yeah. I'm not really I see the connection. But...

[David:] ...well...and what we mean to say is the elements of worship are inadequate,
much the atom 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 songs between the real...you know, the real songs?
Like are they significant? Uhmm...is there a theme of the album?
Or are they creating space? Like what's...going on

uhmm. I don't...

[Andy:] ok. Uhmm. So you know I 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 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 also a metaphor 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 you know
It's...I mean the ascending was written...
it was a written by Vaughn Williams who died in 1958,
and uh, the work opens with calm set of sustained chords and then (coughs) sorry.
me. And uhmm.
Anyway and so then the violin enters as the and it...
it starts this series of ascending and repeated intervals and this...
nimble then elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the English poet Meredith
who died in 1909 and the 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 went like it says uh...

"He and begins 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 lift us him as he goes.

Till lost on his rings

In light, and then the 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 gave me says different. It says, "you are."

[David:] but I don't...
I don't feel like the lark much of the 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 script I 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 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.

yeah. Uhmm. But the ground pulls at my feet.

[Andy:] hold...hold on just a second. Uh but I mean about the number 7?

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

[Andy:] wait. Hold on.

[David:] we're walking in it. We're in the sky.
There is sky and there is ground and we're in between.
That is we live.
And sometimes some of us take wing and they do,
their feet leave the ground, even for a second,
they the rest of us with them.
And when we rise, and 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 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 and we rise and we rise...
