[Andy:] uhmm lets see...uh...and the atom on the cover pretty

uh huh.

[Andy:] cool. I was...I mean...I was never all great 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 like the cover...
is a metaphor or...uh...I mean 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 electrons moving in elliptical around a nucleus 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...

[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 you know?
It helps us 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 Uhmm...is there like a theme of the album?
Or are creating space? Like what's...going on there?

[Andy:] wait...uh it...wait...hold on...it well?

no. It swells.

oh. Right. It swells. Uhmm. Ok. Well.
And so the end with this...this piece called "the lark ascending."
Uhmm now is...what is the lark?
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 this you
It's...I mean the ascending was written...
it was a piece written by Vaughn 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 then the enters as the lark and it...
it starts with this series of and repeated intervals and this...
nimble then elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the poet George Meredith
who in 1909 and the composer 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 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 singing till his fills,

'Tis love of that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the which overflows

To us with him as he goes.

lost on his aerial rings

In light, and then the sings."

[Andy:] huh. Wow. nice. But I mean...but who is the lark?

I don't know.

[Andy:] sorry. I i've got the wrong page. Uhmm.
The script you gave me 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:] a second. Ok. So correct me if I'm wrong but uhmm...

yeah.

[Andy:] ...in the script I you're...

right.

[Andy:] ...making a that art does this...

right.

[Andy:] ...you know the whole, it rises on wing earth 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.

hold...hold on just a second. Uh but I mean what about the number 7?

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

[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.
That is we live.
And sometimes some of us take and when they do,
when their feet the ground, even for a second,
they the rest of us with them.
And when we rise, and we rise,
and when we notice that the sky has around us all along.
We have been walking into it. It has this constant collision.
and depravity.
And we rise and we rise and we and we rise and we rise
and we rise and we rise and we rise and we rise and we
and we and we rise and we rise and we rise...
