Yay! Great energy right here...great stuff

Loving your new album!  Has a flavour of an early Brian Eno meets Bauhaus...great stuff!

brilliant, such catchy melody. this feels like a classic, love the nonconformist sound production

I LOVE this one so much, MARC! *Indescribably decadent* in rhythm... You just POPPED the temple door WIDE open on positively+insane freedom of expression! EXPRESS yourself, don't repress yourself just went level up!! ;)

This is my Covid Project.
Up until recently I reckon I was the only person on the planet not to have experienced the dreaded virus!
Anyway, I finally caught it while trying to record this song. All fairly mild but it lingered a while, and affected my voice a bit. 
This song has been knocking around for so long now I haven't the heart to do any more re-recording :) So ........ up it goes.
PS all better now ....... eventually!

Fires And Desires

A breakup love song or breakup song to the universe? Open for for your interpretation.
From my new EP "Short Songs For Tall Minds" 2022 on Soundcloud.
Lyrics:
Chasing hypnotic cosmic dust
Outside your force field
Your gravitational pull
You don't really like music, do you?
If you don't care
Then I don't care
You just like how the bass
Bruises the air
I just pass my time
On stupid things
Dancing in the dark
Chasing your hypnotic cosmic dust
I just spin around
Chasing your hypnotic cosmic dust

Having washed his soul in the River, the main character from my last song has now become a better Man, well nearly a better man. When you listen to the lyrics i think we may all agree that he might have to make a visit back to the River ..pretty soon.

Used the same guitar as the last time, added some distortion to the lead guitar to add dynamics at the chorus and introduced an acoustic guitar in the Right speaker with the bridge pick up guitar in the left speaker, sort of spreads the sound, I loosened the snare on the  snare drum to get more of a rattle and pumped up the kick a bit. Hope you like it ..All you sinners .

Written, played and produced by: The sinner Johnny Mc Farlane.

Loop Out Of Blue

Annmarie was a very close friend for a period in my life where I was generally feeling sorry for myself and often not the greatest person to hang out with. Annie, as I always called her, was a very dear friend during that time. Yet, when I went on to marry and raise a family, Annie became more and more isolated herself and it seemed I couldn’t keep our old friendship as it once so wonderfully was. When she passed away, too soon, these words came to me and I remember her often with a smile, straight talk and always a helping hand. Something I should have shown greater appreciation for when I had the chance.

This is a crude recording from my iPhone complete with background noise and such, but it was the first time I played it and decided it was what should be preserved despite its warts. I over-dubbed the harmonies and harmonica.

Lyrics: Annmarie by Craig Durgy

Annmarie, oh Annmarie
Her name is like a falling autumn leaf
She made me laugh, till I could see
That loneliness is at its best
Whenever she’s not here with me
Annmarie

When I was up, when I was down
I’d call on Annie, and she’d come around
No matter what, no matter when
She’d be sure to see that you’re
Supported by your very best friend
Annmarie

The only time she ever let me down, let me down
Was when she wouldn’t help herself come round, come around

When the days, took her away
The silence fell like secrets in the rain
She held me up, I let her fall
As the world got heavier 
The only thing I said to her caused pain
Annmarie, my Annmarie

Behind These Walls

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?
