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

[Andy:] oh. Yeah. Great. Um sorry...I expect you so soon.
Let me...give me a to get things set up here.

no problem.

[Andy:] yeah. Made a few changes here
and my typical setup is kinda, you know, technology's a killer

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

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

mmhmm.

[Andy:] uhmm...I admit I...I really don't know much about...
you know...you... You...or the band...
but got some 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..
interesting. You know the...the...

mmhmm.

[Andy:] ...whole title thing.

yeah.

[Andy:] uhmm lets see...uh...and the atom on the cover that's

uh huh.

[Andy:] cool. I was...I mean...I was never all great 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 don't know...is that...it's like 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 it's a symbol.
You see and you think atom.
It shows electrons moving in elliptical paths 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 sure I see the connection. But...

[David:] ...well...and we mean to say is that the elements of worship are inadequate,
like 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 songs the real...you know, the real songs?
Like are significant? Uhmm...is there like a theme of the album?
Or are they creating 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 record is 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 with this...this piece called "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 think you should read too much into any of this you know
It's...I mean the lark 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 the violin enters as the lark and it...
it starts with this of ascending and repeated intervals and this...
nimble then elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the poet George Meredith
who died in 1909 and the composer included a 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 they

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

"He and begins to round,

He drops the chain of sound,

Of links without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For till his heaven fills,

'Tis love of earth he instills,

And winging up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the which overflows

To lift us him as he goes.

Till lost on his aerial

In light, and the fancy 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 me says 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 I have 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.

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

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

did you ever notice that the sky is all the way to the ground?

[Andy:] wait. Hold on.

we're walking around in it. We're in the sky.
There is sky and there is ground and we're in between.
is where we live.
And some of us take wing and when they do,
when 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 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 and we rise and we rise
and we rise and we rise and we and we rise...
