uh huh.

[Andy:] cool. I was...I mean...I was never all that in science and.
And wasn't 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 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, not really...I mean it's a symbol.
You see that and you 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 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 really I see the connection. But...

...well...and what we mean to say is that the elements of worship are inadequate,
much like the atom depiction. But this is what we have you
It helps us the idea.

mmhmm. Mmhmm. Uhmm. Ok. Uh.
Tell...ok...what's the deal with these little songs between the real...you know, the real

And so the end with this...this piece called "the lark ascending."
now what is...what is the lark?
Is that...is that 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 lark was written...
it was a written by Vaughn Williams who died in 1958,
and uh, the work opens with this calm set of sustained chords and (coughs) sorry.
me. And uhmm.
Anyway and so the violin enters as the lark and it...
it with this series of ascending and repeated intervals and this...
nimble then elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he found inspiration in a work by the English poet George Meredith
who died in 1909 and the composer a portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf...

[Andy:] uh...

...of the published work

....hold on wait...

...uhmm...

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

...and it...

[Andy:] ...the year they

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

"He and begins to round,

He the silver chain of sound,

Of many links a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing till his fills,

'Tis love of earth he instills,

And winging up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the which overflows

To us with him as he goes.

lost 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.

[Andy:] sorry. I i've got the wrong page. Uhmm.
The script you me says something different. It says, "you are."

I don't like the lark much of the time and uhmm there are other larks for me you know?

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

[Andy:] wait. on. What?

[David:] we're walking in it. We're 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,
when feet leave the ground, even 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 have 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...
