The Twenties Are Roaring Again is a playful yet thoughtful song that looks at history decade by decade — not with nostalgia alone, but with imagination and hope. Moving from the Roaring Twenties through the turbulence and contradictions of the following decades, the lyrics sketch a timeline of human ambition, conflict, technology, and longing.
Set to an upbeat, vintage-inspired groove, the song invites us to dance while reflecting on where we come from — and where we might be heading. Beneath the Charleston rhythm and swinging energy lies a gentle utopian vision: future decades reimagined as spaces of care, creativity, sustainability, and joy.
This track brings together Marco Santilli Rossi the songwriter and singer with Marco Santilli the clarinetist, blending vocals, clarinets, and bass clarinets with brass, rhythm section, and a vibrant choir. The result is a collective sound that celebrates optimism, community, and the timeless power of music to imagine better futures.
Arranged and produced by Urs Wiesendanger & Marco Santilli Rossi, the piece is both a joyful call to dance and a reflective invitation to believe that the next “roaring twenties” can be shaped consciously — together.
