| A collaboration with the very talented multi-instrumentalist Ed Drury (mp3.com/eddrury) who played Didjeridu, Flute, E-bow & percussion. lanceKC: vocals, acoustic 12-string, percussion. Ed perfectly described this piece as simultaneously a mantra, a bluesy lament, a prayer. It's a World Fusion drone song with a big vocal sound in a middle-eastern/Indian styled modal scale, inspired by Jai Uttal. Spiritual... not religious.... |
Label: Zygote Records
Credits: (c)2002, lanceKC: vocals, lyrics, acoustic 12-string, percussion, production; Ed Drury: Didjeridu, Flute, E-bow & percussion. |
Story Behind the Song
I've been an Ed Drury fan for about a year as of this writing (5/10/02)... a fellow 'white boy' interested in World Music :) Mixing and matching multicultural influences that speak to the Soul... Ed does this really well and is quite the multi-instrumental craftsman. We exchanged mp3 files back-n-forth by e-mail a few times... this is the result.... It's a pluralistic spiritual reflection on our world in general in the early 21st century. A call for Peace. A call for examining Humanity's path... for it seems we may be making a few wrong turns?

Lyrics
Why...?
Talked to the Roman Nero in my Dream
In shame, Nero asked this of me:
"Why...? Why not learn from our mistakes? The World can not be owned. Shed no more Blood. Far Too Thinly Spread: Arrogant Empire Dead..."
Quizzed by the demon Murmur in my Dream.
Out of questions, he just laughed at me:
"Ha! Ha! Your leaders succeed at Deceipt. Ha! Ha! I chisel away their Clay Feet!"
Angel Zuriel is in my Dream.
With Crystal Tears Angel Weeps:
"Why...? Why...? Why all the Poverty?"
Why: All the Wealth resides on High: Enslaving the Peasants, Raping the Planet.
Oh Dear Zuriel: What should I tell my People to Break these Chains?
Why...? Why...?
Talked to Creator in my Dream.
Creator asked this of me:
"Why...? Why...? Why do they kill in My Name? Why...? Why...? Why all the greed in My Name?"
Oh My Sweet Lord: Dare I be so Bold: I do not have answers for Thee....
Only more questions....
Only more prayers....
