Why - With Debra Buesking and Oorlab (open collaboration)

So I poured another measure and it doesn't look right
We'll be giggling and dancing 'til the end of night
So close your eyes and down it as the next one pours
Well now I've gone and said it as I am all yours

CHORUS
There's  nothing in this world that could ruin today
[I feel I'm alive]
I have these mad ideas that I whisk you away
[We blossom and thrive]
There's nothing in this world that could ruin a night electric
What makes our minds tick?
There's nothing in this world that could ruin today

And I didn't finish laughing 'til my stomach hurt
The kind of words that aren't the most conventional flirt
So pour another vodka, which one of them is mine?
I think I may have overpoured like I'm inclined to

CHORUS

Another Vodka

Written and first recorded in 2016

Rise from the dead, come on sleepyhead,
There's a new world to be seen.
We'll go explore, and open the door to the dream.
Old memories fade, new ones are made
On the trail dividing the hills.
We'll find the way, follow the day past the stream.

Curtains of light, green, gold and white
All along the evening sky,
Silently move, shifting along with our eyes.
Ask a for a sign, moments sublime
That will lead us through the trees.
On to the shore, there must be more than we see.

Night tears, the darkest fears and rain dissolve at dawn,
Then the light lifts our sail, sets the course, tells the tale,
Helps us glide through the gale.

Back to the dead, resting your head,
There's a new life that we've seen.
Opened the door, met at the shore of the dream.
Now that we fade, we're not afraid
Of the trail dividing the hills.
We passed this way, followed the day down the stream.

Night tears, the darkest fears,
And rain dissolve at dawn.
Then the light lifts our sail,
Sets the course, tells the tale,
Lifts our hearts when we fail,
Helps us love on the trail.

The Trail (Remix)

I spent years hiding under the table
Half expecting a war
I just escaped although I'm slightly less stable
But I'm alive after all

CHORUS
Give a snigger give a round of applause cuz I'm smiling
Please excuse all my obvious flaws whilst I'm smiling
See me laugh hear me cry with excitement
I'm smiling and striving not to let you down

If there's no picture it didn't happen
Forever searching the truth
I've got my naughty school boy cap on
I think that I'm bulletproof

CHORUS

I spent years hiding under the table
Where I was waiting for you
I stayed there for as long as I was able
But now I've started anew

CHORUS

Bulletproof

Messages From The Planet Of The Antz ( Can You Hear Me Purple Jesus   )

I've been rush-in' (as fools do...) to get this DEMOnstration of what lies in my ice-cold heart out of my confused mind, and out into the world. 

Crappy Valentine's Day y'all!

I'm Not In Love (First Site Mix)

"Winter in the City of Vancouver": On All Streaming Platforms. Here's a landing page: https://linktr.ee/michaelfirthsellers

This is a song about mature resignation in the face of human indifference and natural elements you can do nothing about.

My thanks to Chris Curtis for his harmonies, and to Sergio Aguilar of 423 Studios, for the supremely judged production and instrumental ability he brings to every song we have recorded!

"I would say just the weather in Vancouver in the winter can be kind of unforgiving."
- Brandon Jay McLaren

"I eat out three times a day most days of the year. This is no big deal to most (city dwellers), and it is not something I am necessarily proud of - it's simply the nature of my itinerant life."
- Ben Elliot

Lyrics
Winter in the city of Vancouver
It’s brutal if you don’t have some steady pay
And any working hours you’ve gained
Don’t help to ease the pain
Of living on the edge day after day

Winter in the city of Vancouver
Hail and sleet are flaying me alive
Cos the ragged clothes I wear
Let in more than I can bear
It’s an endless daily struggle to survive

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
I’m seeking work to get me through to summer
If the job’s well done, press some dollars in my hand

Coyotes snapping at my heels as I walk through Stanley Park
I sure don’t care to find out if their bite is worse than their bark!
My coffee’s cold in my two-year-old disposable Starbucks cup
I fear my hopes are so far down there’s no way to pull them up!

Winter in the city of Vancouver
Christmas snow, the first in many years
As I tramp through dirty slush
My face a cold, red flush
I brush away my bitter icy tears

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
If I knock upon your door, give me whatever chore
And if the job’s well done, press some dollars in my hand

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
Boss man says "Just a day, then on your way, son"
But at least I get some dollars in my hand

Winter in the city of Vancouver
A city that I love and love to hate
I’m looking for some heat,
And something good to eat
Nothing more, for now at any rate

LYRICS:

At any moment on any day
A little friction can wipe us all away
In times of trouble, in times of strife
Spare no expense 'cause the price is human life
They come to conquer like they were God's own hand
And set the world ablaze to seize a little land

And everything going down is nothing but disaster
And transgressions of humanity
And everything taking shape is nothing short of wrongful
And crimes that echo in the pages of history

At any moment on any day
The clock strikes midnight and all goes down in flames
To meet ambition with vile atrocity
And piss on notions of all diplomacy
And all hell rains down, the wolf is at your door
Hope no one sees what you're compensating for

And everything going down is nothing but disaster
And transgressions of humanity
And everything taking shape is nothing short of wrongful
And crimes that echo in the pages of history

You want it, you got it
You have upset the balance
You want it, you got it
The world is in a bind
It's all just self defense
We've heard that lie before
A brain dead juggernaut
You're not the only one
You want it, you got it
You got the whole world watching
You want it, you got it
Looks like you've gone insane
Affront to everyone
To your own people too
One minute to midnight
It's all because of you

"The threat" "La Menace"

Instrumental Jazzy tune 

In 2022, when the whole world should be concerned about 
the state of the planet, the simple madness of a man makes us fall 
into horror and destruction.

En 2022, alors que le monde entier devrait se préoccuper de l'état 
de la planète, la simple folie d'un homme nous fait basculer 
dans l'horreur et la destruction.

Unrequited Love

A brief autobiography in song recognising that I still don't know what it's all about after all these years! The "Who am I?" question of teenage years still pops it's head up. Technical point: On the mixer I set the 'Quirk' knob to 6.5.

Call Me Cain

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?
