It's...I the lark 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.

Anyway and so then the enters as the lark and it...
it starts with this series of ascending and intervals and this...
these nimble then 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...

wait uh...

[David:] ...of the published

....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 drops the chain of sound,

Of many without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing his heaven fills,

'Tis of earth that he instills,

And winging up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the wine which

To lift us him as he goes.

Till lost on his rings

In light, and then the sings."

huh. Wow. That's nice. But I mean...but who is the lark?

[David:] I know.

[Andy:] sorry. I think 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 like the lark of the time and uhmm there are other larks for me you know?

[Andy:] wait a second. Ok. So correct me if I'm but uhmm...

[Andy:] but. Uh. Hold on. I mean...it...it says so here.

[David:] yeah. Uhmm. But the ground 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?

[Andy:] wait. Hold on.

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