Great work Zan!
Well, I broke down the words differently and looked at them from a musical direction.
First the Latin:
Aer or Aeris - air, atmosphere, or weather
Check.
Check. Although 'kind of a stretch
I will agree here. Repeatedly I have brought up the 'Carnatic' and Indian influence on this album! No one seems to have taken me seriously however. The phrasing, the timing and pauses all lend themselves to a fusion of contemporary lyrics and instruments with traditional and ethnic bridges. This is analogous of Kate's progression in perspective and philosophy. One more reason to call this work genius.
Thanks. 'Will comment on later.
Agreed. And although I think your definition works best so far; the other theories have merit as well. If she contemplated all of these scenarios - and she had the time - then she truly is a visionary.

i'm probably being a bit dense but what does Tal mean ?Well, I broke down the words differently and looked at them from a musical direction.

Check.
Talis or Tal - of such a kind
Check. Although 'kind of a stretch
but I really think the answer may lie here, in the Hindi definition:
Taal or Tal - Indian musical rhythmic pattern
and Aerial Tal happens to coincidentally fit in an Indian Raga Scale, from what I have read. Just an overview - by definition, raga means to colour or to please and musically raga is a scheme of melody. It can be defined as “a scientific, subtle, precise and aesthetic melodic form with its ascending and descending movement which consists of either a full octave or a series of five, six, or seven notes,” or "an arrangement of intervals in a definite order upon which a melody is founded.” According to an old definition, “a raga is a particular form of sound which is adorned with notes and melodic phrases and enchants the heart of the listener.”

So, as usual, Kate has offered the possibility of many different interpretations...
Agreed. And although I think your definition works best so far; the other theories have merit as well. If she contemplated all of these scenarios - and she had the time - then she truly is a visionary.
