Its a world full of copies and machines
It is hard to know what is true and what is real..
We look the same, in what we say and what we do
I sometimes have to stop and ask: Is that you?

Are you real?
Is that you I'm talking to?
Is that your voice i hear?
Are you real, is that you?
Can I trust you?
Are you telling me the truth?
I don't want anything else
Only the real you..

Did you speak in your own words
Or did machines do it for you?
Did you sing with your own voice?
Can you tell the truth?
Let me hear the sound of your heartbeat
Let me touch your skin
Show me you're real
The one i can feel..

Are you real?
Is that you I'm talking to?
Is that your voice hear?
Are you real, is that you?
Can I trust you?
Are you telling me the truth?
I don't want anything else
Only the real you...

Let me hear the sound of your heartbeat
Let me touch your skin
show me you're real
The one i can feel....

IN MEMORY 

Blessed be Thou for all the joy
My soul has felt to-day!
O let its memory stay with me
And never pass away!


I was alone, for those I loved
Were far away from me;
The sun shone on the withered grass,
The wind blew fresh and free.


Was it the smile of early spring
That made my bosom glow?
'Twas sweet, but neither sun nor wind
Could raise my spirit so.


Was it some feeling of delight,
All vague and undefined?
No, 'twas a rapture deep and strong,
Expanding in my mind!


Was it a sanguine view of life
And all its transient bliss—
A hope of bright prosperity?
O no, it was not this!

A Portuguese Cyrano, how would he be?

I have an older version (not published here in SoundCloud) with a faster tempo. Here I tried to slow it down to see if it still works.


Nascido para vencer,
senhor do meu nariz.
Mas tu podes crer:
Nunca serei nada neste país
à beira-mar plantado.
Já não escapo do meu fado.
Só me resta ser feliz.

E as melodias, e os sonhos desta arte
seguem-nos,
seguem-nos por toda a parte.
E ao partirmos com as lembranças,
com o talento, com a esperança e o sentimento
de uma nova madrugada,
é um novo dia, cheio de versos, de poesia,
e a suave companhia de umas tágides anafadas.
E as doces brisas, e os furacões da sorte
levam-nos
levam-nos para além da morte.

Porque a vida eterna é esta:
Que te conheçam a ti só
por único Deus verdadeiro
e a teu filho, a quem enviaste.

E, ao repousar na terra,
os corpos unem-se às raízes
e as vidas áridas e estéreis
crescem lindas e felizes.

Nascido para vencer, senhor deste país.
Mas tu podes crer: Nunca serei dono do meu nariz
na face mal plantado.
Já não escapo do meu fado.
Só me resta ser feliz.

Dear Reader, 

In Shakespeare's play "Hamlet," Ophelia drowns herself in what is a terrible and tragic scene late in the play. 

The idea for this song came when I recognized that the grief of loss, missed opportunities, and mistakes compound as we age, and they don't leave us. Instead, these emotions seem to haunt us—often surprising us when we least expect it. And so, these feelings are akin to the tragic drowning of Ophelia, except that they seem to happen again and again—hence the title of the song. 

Georg Boehme, a brilliant arranger, composer, and horns player from Cologne, Germany, joined me on this piece. I sent Georg the basic tracks and gave him no instructions. He knows what to do, and he always exceeds my expectations. His playing on this piece is amazing. As you get to know Georg's music, you will begin to see that he has a unique style, and it shines through in all that he plays. Thank you, Georg, for lending me your immense creative talents. 

Last week, I sent what I believed was the finished version of this song to Noel Barrett, an outstanding bass player from Cork City, Ireland. I knew he would dig the work that Georg did on the track. And he did. Without any prompting, he replaced the bass part that I laid down—and improved the tune tenfold in the process. Noel has rock-solid time and brings a melodic sensibility to everything he plays on the bass. It is a great pleasure and honor to have him guesting on this song. 

Finally, I thank you, my devoted listeners, for your comments and for your repeated returns to my channel. 

I have much more music to write. This is only the beginning of the journey. 

Highest Regards, 

Roger Whittlesey

Ophelia Drowns Again

I'd recently watched a mini film that my collaborator, Mark, was in the process of making with his 3-D modelling gear. It depicted a kind of post- apocalyptic scenario, perhaps on the cusp of regeneration, at least that's how it seemed to me. Not long after, he sent me this track and so the song came about - based on the theme of the film.
Mark uses one of his "weird" pedals on this track for an interesting intro sound and he has also achieved a "stutter" in parts of the vocal which may have been accidental but I thought it really suited and asked him to put it back when it disappeared during mastering. So the stutter remains.
As to genre - ambient indie folk might fit, or I could be way off on that ... genres aren't my forte.

All we have now
Is what we dream

After all the stories
That have ended here
After the halting
Of one long relentless march
We find out somethings
Are never ending
Some things
Are never ending

Night Creatures

There’s day’s when you’re going through life
 And you’ve just gotta put a fake smile on your face
And go through the motions 
and pretend that everything is okay
People ask you how you’re doing 
you tell them
Hey I’m doing great
Even though
that’s not what you really want to say
There’s days when you wish that it was Halloween
So you could walk around looking like someone really mean
There’s days when you feel like you’re grasping for straws
You look at your hands and you wish you had claws
You’ve been walking around with a stiff upper lip
Trying not to let the mask slip
You’re going through life, trying to understand
Is this part of some master plan
You’ve been waiting for so long to strike when the iron’s hot
But lately you’re starting to feel like some kind of creature that time forgot

There’ve days when you just want to stay in bed  all day and watch TV
And eat lots of popcorn and potato chips
There’s days when you go to a fast food restaurant 
And they make you they make you pick up your food and and clean up the mess and you wonder why they ask you for tips
And there’s days when you realize that your milk’s past it’s expiration date 
But you drink it anyway, it’s the closest think you ever do to tempting fate
And there’s days when you’ve been sitting in your cubicle for way to long
And you wish you could stand up and sing a loud a rock and roll song.
You’re walking around all day and on your shoulder’s a really big chip.
You go through your day desperately trying to maintain your grip
You spent your entire life living in a self imposed cage
You kept your feeling bottled up, you never let out any rage
You’ve been walking around with a stiff upper lip
Trying not to let the mask slip
You’re going through life, trying to understand
Is this all part of some master plan
you’ve been waiting for so long to strike when the iron’s hot
But lately you’re starting to feel like some kind of creature that time forgot
Grasping for straws stumbling around sleep walking your way through life
Trying not to make any ripples , trying not to cause any strife
Sometimes you’ve just gotta do what’s right for you

Grasping For Straws

DREAM WITH ME:

Could you dream with me?
Could you dream with me—understand my dreams?
Dreams that walk with me,
In moments when faith can't touch me anymore.
Dreams that walk with me,
In moments when faith can't touch me anymore.

Dream with me—
see with me—
dream for me.
Dream with me—
see with me—
dream for me.

Who was willing to live in dreams only?
—me—just-me.
Touched too hard
by dark melodies,
day by day-day,
day by day-day.

Dream with me—
see with me—
dream for me.
Dream with me—
see with me—
dream for me.

Dreams can breathe you peace—
may breathe you strength—soulfully.
Dreams that kiss my soul—my strength—so softly.

Strength—touch me—
again and again—
dream for me!
