Desperately trying to catch up on my listening Johnny.....this works perfectly, my friend.  I find that wherever I happen to be on my pendulum swing across the spectrum of belief, a few quiet moments spent in an old church clears the mind and fixes the soul like no other remedy.  Now why is that?  :)  Love the passion here.

Great folk song, excellent guitar melody and vocals!

Excellent track. Great production. Fantastic song, John.

Love the guitar and that rhythm. Super vocal too. Really interesting to read the 'back story' to this track. Thank you for posting!

And now for something completely…. Alternative (1)

Can AI have feelings

Lyrics:

Can you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
I feel,
I feel this pain again.
I don't know what it is, but I don't wish you felt the same.
I pick them up, and then,
I bury what I can.
Im on my,
I'm on my own again.
Wondering through the days,
Trying to find stars that I can.
I know that I am not alone.
But I feel that I'm on my own.
Can you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?

ALIVE

keep it moving

I went into the church the other day and i knelt down at the back of Church and began to pray to God to help me with a few problems that were out of my control, i prayed for the strength to except the things i cannot change, to change the things i can and for the wisdom to known the difference. I prayed for my Children for happiness for them and their children and for forgiveness for all those who need it. I also prayed for the Lord to shine his light on all the dark places in the world that are at War, for peace and help for all the starving people in  the world. I hope he was listening. 
As i prayed this song came to me, its not a very serious song but i think it has a great soul. :-)

Lyrics:

He would arrive at half past four
He took the garbage beside my door
He said I can’t talk of it anymore
In my mind, there is always war
 
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Yes, he’s gone, he’s not coming back
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
 
He carried the bags in his hands
Filled with bodies from the jungle land
He called at night, said do you understand
What could I say to the burning lamb
 
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Yes, he’s gone, he’s not coming back
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
 
He’s not going be on the next train
He’s not going to come in from the pouring rain
He’s not going to give his kind regards
It’s really, really too hard
 
He came home no one cared
He had a face crippled by wear
Memories of those lads placed on his back
All that weight too much to ask
 
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Yes, he’s gone, he’s not coming back
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Because Joe is still in Vietnam

Joe Is Still In Vietnam

Another track where I get to write melody and lyrics over Kris Bolin's music and expert production!  Check out his band The Bawl Slant - ( @bawl-slant)

Lyrics and melody - Marc Freak

THE AFTERLIFE IS LIES
Every night I wake up in a sweat
Every night I feel the cold and wet
End of the night it seems like the best yet

CHORUS
Think that I'm crazy
Tell me that the afterlife is lies
When I feel the shaking of your thighs
Think I'm demented
Do I decry your thoughts and faith
Well I am straddled by a wraith

The spectre's touch will bring me to the end
The benefits are better then a friend
The spectre's touch that i will not defend against

CHORUS

I THINK I'VE HAD A FUNNY TURN

CHORUS
I think I've had a funny turn
A mental disconnect
A blip that few would come to expect
So zip it
Think I've had a funny turn

Smile - dribble 
What's the matter with my cerebral matter
Broken overdrive
Distant vision
Pass the pint I'm on a mission
Fanboy photo autographs

CHORUS

Broken battered
There's nothing in the past that matters
Vomit putrid
Same my face
Dickie ticker
Watch me I'm a window licker
Tasting germs and times of old

CHORUS

I Think I've Had a Funny Turn (with Kris Bolin)

Hi, My name is Johnny Mc Farlane, I am an Indie songwriter from Ireland. I write, play, produce and distribute my own music. I try to write songs that will mean something to whoever may be listening. I try to express feeling and emotions through my music, I try to hit the heart and soul of whoever may be listening and to pass on my feelings through my lyrics and my music. A lot of the songs I write come from Personal experiences, some are pure imagination, but all try to carry a message of Hope, Fait, understanding and a spiritual message of love. I am just one voice in the wilderness but together we are stronger. Thank you so much for listening to my music. It’s a real honour.

Prolific musician, author, photographer and oddity.  With influences ranging from the lofi pop of Guided by Voices, the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, the glam of Bowie and the nakedness of Iggy Pop - this is Marc Freak.  Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe.  An experiment in DIY and lofi.  The odd bum note here, the even odder bum note there.  But with art do we care?

Hi Lord, It's me Again
