Q. Dear Oracle,
At 1.45 of "42" (the song), one can hear something that sounds like somebody saying "Patrick". It struck me right away but I never found a meaning to it. Then, upon my first listen of "Prospekt's March", I shockingly noticed a similar sounding "voice" at .09 of "Rainy Day"... that's when I realized that "42" and "Rainy Day" are both Track #4s on their respective albums. That's when it struck me to see if the "voice" occurred at the same time relative to the beginning of the album (0.00). Turns out they don't (occurring at 9.46 and 11.30 respectively). You'd think that I'd have abandoned hope for a meaning at this point, but no... My question is what does this all mean?
