[David:] this is Crowder calling for the interview that was scheduled today?

[Andy:] oh. Yeah. Great. Um sorry...I didn't you so soon.
Let me...give me a second to get set up here.

no problem.

[Andy:] yeah. Made a few changes around

[David:] uh...well...we'll have to and see I guess.

[Andy:] well. Alright. Well. Umm. Well. Hey, get started.
Uh...sorry my are...you know a little scattered here...
uh...you'll have to me.

mmhmm.

[Andy:] uhmm...I gotta admit I...I don't know much about...
you know...you... You...or the band...
but I've got friends that are big fans and um...

right.

[Andy:] but...uh...anyway...um...alright. Well. Ok. So we go.
Um...so new CD is titled a collision, or...um...3 + 4 = 7 that's..
that's interesting. You the...the...

mmhmm.

[Andy:] ...whole title 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 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, not really...I mean it's a symbol.
You see and you think 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 looks even, for matter...

ok.

[David:] ...and so....and so that's why it was 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 the atom depiction. But this is what we have you know?
It helps us 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 of the album?
Or are they space? Like what's...going on there?

uhmm. I don't...

[Andy:] ok. Uhmm. So you know I hear there's this spectacular ending to...
to the is that true?

we'll have 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 with this...this piece "the lark ascending."
Uhmm now is...what is the lark?
Is that...is also a metaphor for something?

uhmm. I gue...I mean I guess. I just...I don't think...
I don't you should read too much into any of this 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 this calm set of sustained and then (coughs) sorry.
me. And uhmm.
Anyway and so the violin 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 George Meredith
who died in 1909 and the composer a portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf...

[Andy:] uh...

[David:] ...of the work

....hold on wait...

...uhmm...

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

...and it...

[Andy:] ...the year they

...well it went...and it went like 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 till his heaven fills,

love of earth that he instills,

And winging up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the wine overflows

To lift us him as he goes.

Till lost on his aerial

In light, and then the sings."

[Andy:] huh. Wow. That's nice. But I mean...but who is the

[David:] I know.

sorry. I think i've got the wrong page. Uhmm.
The script you gave me 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:] wait a second. Ok. So 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 from earth to fill the heavens...

yes.

[Andy:] ...pulling the rest of us with it. That as the 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 pulls at my feet.

[Andy:] hold...hold on 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 around in it. in the sky.
There is sky and is ground and we're somewhere in between.
That is we live.
And sometimes some of us wing and when they do,
when their 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 the sky has been around us all along.
We have been walking into it. It has this constant collision.
and depravity.
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 rise and we and we rise and we rise...
