TwentyFirstCenturyMedievalWorld

Yea I know it’s  better
Than it’s ever been before
With all the  technobabble things
That we all vie for 
Like wi-fi and internet
Google this and Uber that
And here’s one thing you can’t forget      
We’re still
In a twenty first century medieval world

Now apathy’s an atrocity
A plague on the society
Acceptance and obedience
Feeds the endless greed

Like billionaires in rocket ships
Carrots hanging from a stick
And here’s one thing you can’t forget  
We’re still
In a twenty first century medieval world
Medieval world

Solo

Genuflection
Masters of the Universe
By the grace of God
Oh Buck Rogers

One generation to the next
Ad nauseam
begone you old bad habits
So we carry on
To live a life without the threat
Of crazy wars or massive debt
And here’s one thing you can’t forget  
We’re still
In a twenty first century medieval world
We’re still
In a twenty first century medieval world
medieval world
med-ie-val-world

ー歌詞ー
酸の雨に濡れる景色
身を焦がした溶ける影

死を描いた歪む意識
弧を描けば過ぎる影

人、闇溶け、散弾銃が笑う

人皆唾を吐き重ねてゆく
笑う同じ穴の貉
辿る先には死の穴

睡蓮が血の池に咲き乱れ
空を喰った
朽木の枝を突き刺して
蟻の巣に潜り込んだ
この世は全部真っ黒な修羅だけが
生きる世界
この世に真理等は無い
修羅だけが笑う世界

愛していたのに両目を潰した

人、闇、紛れ込み
罪重ねる
笑う同じ穴の貉
辿る先には死の穴

Endless Night - Feeding the Machine

Words and Music by Roger Whittlesey. Arranged by Whittlesey and Audric Jankauskas. Guitar and synth by Jankauskas. All other sounds by Whittlesey. ©2024

Dear Reader, 

What is existence? Who made time? Is there a governing force? These are questions that cannot be answered with any certainty. Humankind has spent thousands of years creating stories to answer these questions and there are as many answers as there are cultures. 

When something good happens, there is a tendency for some to thank a deity. But what about when something bad happens? Some will say that this event was the deity's doing too, and that it is all part of some grand plan. 

I prefer not to twist myself into a pretzel attempting to apply logic to what are leaps of faith. And so, I follow science as it attempts to get closer to truth. In this song, I apply—in a whimsical way—a religious trope (Say Amen) to what is my secular belief. I encourage all to follow their own beliefs, whether sacred or secular. I cast no aspersions no matter what your beliefs, so long as those beliefs do not impinge upon the beliefs and freedoms of others. 

My special thanks to Audric Jankauskas for joining me on this song. His immense talent as a guitarist may be known to those of you who have heard him play on several of my other songs, but you should also know of his great musicianship, arranging and compositional skills. Audric added those beautiful angular lines toward the end of the song, which I think are so cool. 

This has been a great summer for me. I've had the opportunity to collaborate with at least 12 other musicians—talented players and singers from all around the globe. The autumn approaches, but the music will continue—I still have much more music that I am eager to release. 

Thank you for your continued support.

All My Best, 

Roger Whittlesey

ARMONIA, canto composto da P. Ettore Andrich O.M.I.
Orchestrazione e adattamento di Antonio Porrino

P. Ettore Andrich was my moral, spiritual and human guide in my youth and maturity. A true brother! 
A composer of sacred songs always inspired!

1.	I want to stay alone this evening,
I want to stay alone here in prayer,
before You, harmony of this immense mystery of the world,
before You, my God, how much pain for my love.
My God, today I have the courage to look at you too
And I feel that you are:
“Harmony of this immense mystery, you are harmony of this immense mister.”
2.	Now I want to return among the people and love you in every man's pain,
loving You, harmony of this immense mystery of the world,
loving You, my God, how much pain for my love.
My God, today I have the courage to look at you too
And I feel that you are:
“Harmony of this immense mystery, you are harmony of this immense mister.”
(Soprani: “My God, why have you abandoned me in this immense mystery.”)

P. Ettore Andrich è stato la mia guida morale, spirituale e umana nella mia giovinezza e nella mia maturità. Un vero fratello! 
Un compositore di canti sacri sempre ispirati!

1.	Voglio restare solo questa sera,
Voglio restare solo qui in preghiera,
davanti a Te, armonia di questo immenso mistero del mondo,
davanti a Te, Dio mio, quanto dolore per amore mio.
Dio mio, oggi ho il coraggio di guardarti anch’io
E sento che tu sei:
“Armonia di questo immenso mistero, sei armonia di questo immenso mister.”
2.	Ora voglio tornare tra la gente e amarti nel dolore di ogni uomo,
amare Te, armonia di questo immenso mistero del mondo,
amare Te, Dio mio, quanto dolore per amore mio.
Dio mio, oggi ho il coraggio di guardarti anch’io
E sento che tu sei:
“Armonia di questo immenso mistero, sei armonia di questo immenso mister.”
(Soprani: “Dio mio, perché mi hai abbandonato in questo immenso mister.”)
