A moment of quiet reflection...  after so much loss over the last few months.

Lost Souls Elegy

I have a lot of material finished now that I was going to inflict on the world earlier in the year but then the stuff that has happened and is still happening happened. A lot of my new tracks are a bit on the heavy/morose/miserable side, but this one about fear of haircuts is relatively cheery - and haircuts are kind of topical at the moment - so there is that.

Your hair is growing
With some profusion
Soon it will
Cover your eyes
I foresee problems in
High wind conditions and
Risk of entanglement in
Branches of thorny shrubs

I know you don’t wanna hear it
But we all
Know when it’s time it’s

Time for a trim, it's time for a trim, time for a trim
Time for a trim, it's time for a trim, time for a trim
Time for a trim, it’s time for a trim, it's time for a trim
We all know when it’s time for a trim

Your hair is growing
With great profusion
Soon it will
Obscure your vision
I foresee problems
Problems at bath time and
Risk of entanglement in
Open machinery

I know you don't wanna hear it [etc.]
[Repeat chorus]

It's time for a trim it's
Time for a trim it's
Time for a trim it's
Time to face your fear

It’s alright for girls they
They know the secret language of haircuts (but)
I just don't want to look stupid
All I really want is the same as whatever it was you did last time

Mm I think it's time for trim
That's now clear to everyone

I know you don't wanna hear it [etc.]

Time For A Trim

So They set out to Recover the fabled Crystal Bone from their 
Ancient Fiefdom,  but Found instead only a vast Open World of
Infinite Longing.  Some amongst the Pack still Wait for their Return,
even as many Long Years have Passed.  But Others say They surely 
have Found the Crystal Bone and are Keeping it to Themselves.
Those who once knew Captain Rover say that such a Thing is
Quite Unlikely,  as He was a Grand Fellow.  But Who knows . . .
maybe They are Nestled Away in some faraway Hidden Land,
even now,  Chewing on it.

Captain Rover's Lost Expedition

Ellipsis

Happy new year!!! (Here comes a better year, the salvation is near!)

Dreaming Of A Better Year

[Don't look back] I'm not proud but its real
[Don't look back] Touch my heart, its surreal
[Don't look back] I pulled something in my neck
[Don't look back] Its not important but I'll check

CHORUS
The year ahead will be all that you can make
It tastes of candy and cake
[Don't look back] Don't look over your shoulder
[Don't look back] I'm another year older
[Don't look back] Because the past it disgusts me
[Don't look back] Though I coped so ably
[Don't look back] Its an absolute horror
[Don't look back] Its a new tomorrow
[Don't look back] Because the past is s(t)inking
[Don't look back] Start some positive thinking

[Don't look back] I'm blinded by light
[Don't look back] I gave up the fight
[Don't look back] Bring the next conquest forth
[Don't look back] Is this all I am worth?

CHORUS

Don’t Look Back

IGNORE.    Originally written & recorded by Stina Crow  @user-244936023 ... 
I decided to do a "Hollywood Metal" version of it. Of course it is not nearly as good as the original, it is just a different take on IGNORE.

IGNORE (Originally by Stina Crow)

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?
