The...uh...atom, not really...I mean it's 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...

[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...

like the atom depiction. But this is what we have you know?

Uhmm now what is...what is the
Is that...is that also a metaphor for

[David:] uhmm. I gue...I mean I guess. I just...I think...
I don't think you should read too into any of this you know
It's...I the lark ascending was written...
it was a piece written by 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 enters as the lark and it...
it starts with this series of ascending and intervals and this...
these nimble elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the English poet George
who died in 1909 and the composer included a portion of poem on the flyleaf...

[Andy:] uh...

[David:] ...of the work

....hold on wait...

...uhmm...

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

...and it...

[Andy:] ...the they died?

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

"He rises and to round,

He drops the silver of sound,

Of many without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing his heaven fills,

love of earth that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the wine overflows

To lift us him as he goes.

lost on his aerial rings

In light, and the fancy sings."

huh. Wow. That's 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 gave me says different. It says, "you are."

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

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

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

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

wait. Hold on. What?

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