A simple chord progression I stumbled on gradually evolved into this piece.

Umbriel

tribal moon (r.s.stropharia) 07.10.2019

And I should be feeling something
But there's nothing at all
Oh be still, my heart is pumping
And I'm starting to drawl
Oh please me
Looks like I've been in a brawl
I'm going out in a blaze of gory

CHORUS
And your eyes
They're like something from the movies
And your smile
So I smiled back and kept on moving

And I couldn't choose the weapon
I couldn't think of a time
These big shoes are too big to step on
I'm too small for this crime
Oh please me
This end is no damn fault of mine
I'm going out in a blaze of gory

CHORUS

I've been told something that is nasty
And it stuck in my throat
Now you've started to look so crusty
Or is it something I smoked?
Oh please me
These are the last damn words I wrote
I'm going out in a blaze of gory

CHORUS

Going Out In A Blaze Of Gory

peace y’all…

logical thought…

An ode to ideas both good and bad
Lyrics:
Crawling up
Out of the primordial ooze
Now we're standing  erect
And walking around
Dreaming of designer shoes
We invent languages
Fire & light
So we can see each other
When we fight on Saturday night (that's right!)
The Caveman he's painting on the cave walls
But, he's not artistically satisfied
He says: there's got to more
Like a great creator
some kind of entity that oversees us all
With rules and dogma
That we all follow

I've got to write this down!
Everything permanent once it's written on a cave wall
I've got to write this down

Don't smile  so much
Because it makes me wonder what your trying to sell me
Adam Smith & Walt Disney
A couple funky capitalists
Based our society around supply & demand
Now the worlds moving at the speed of cash

I've gonna to write this down!
Once it's written in a stock ledger
You know it's real
I'm gonna write this down

I've been creating a little Rock & Roll chop shop
With Frankenstein parts 
From funk, soul and R&B
I've got Woody Guthrie in the box car
It's like skimming from an all cash bar
Les Paul said: Let's amplify those guitars

I need to re-read the Book of Love
You know it's all written down somewhere
I've got an emotional bloody nose
That's how it goes
The Book of Love only available
To those in the know
I don't know what's going happen in the world next
An AI simulation
Or a UFO guest
There going to look back at us
They going to say: We ain't gonna do it like that
They're going to write it down
I need to write this down!

With gratitude and respect to Kohei Uchimura, who is retiring.

This song was inspired by Kohei Uchimura who is a gymnastics athlete at Tokyo 2020 Olympic.
But maybe you can sing this for your hero, for your friends, for your lovers, for your parents….
Whatever it is, this is a song of gratitude and respect for the person you admire.

[Lyrics]

Cause I Saw You Were There

Do you know why I could come here?
Do you know what made me to come here?
It’s you. 
Cause I saw you were there. 
You were there.
Yes, it’s you. 
Cause I saw you were there. 
You were there.

引退される内村航平選手へ、感謝と敬意をこめて。

体操の内村航平選手の東京オリンピックを見て、この曲が生まれました。
でもたぶんこの曲は、あなたのヒーローのため、あなたの友人のため、あなたの恋人のため、あなたの両親のための曲でもあります…。
それが何であれ、あなたの憧れの人への感謝と敬意を歌ったものです。

[歌詞]

僕がなぜここに来ることが出来たのか知っていますか？
何が僕をここに連れて来たのか知っていますか？
あなたです。 
あなたがそこにいたのを見たからです。 
あなたはそこにいた。
そう、それはあなたです。 
あなたがそこにいたのを見たからです。 
あなたはそこにいました。

Cause I Saw You Were There

Moscow Blues

■概要(Overview)
あなたはまた行ってしまうのね・・。
だからタイムマシーンを作ったの。
さぁ、あの頃に戻りましょう・・そんな曲です。

ボーカロイドを使いました(フリーソフトの「UTAU」を使用)。
全体的に、今回も混沌とした感じになりました・・ね(^^;)

You will go again ...
That's why I made a time machine.
Well, let's go back to that time ... That's the song.

I used Vocaloid (using the free software "UTAU").
Overall, it felt chaotic this time too ... (^^;)

■歌詞
「Enihcam Emit」
うつろいやすい　人なのね　あなた
あまりにも　冷たい仕打ちね

ずっと　ここに　残る　傷跡

出会った頃の二人に戻って　みたい

完成したわタイムマシン
あなた可愛い寝顔ね
うふふふ

目覚めた時には元通り
あなた私に夢中よ
うふふふ


ここがふたりが　出会った　場所ね
あなたったら　10円札　追いかけて

ずっと　ここに　残る　さくらよ

完成したわタイムマシン
わたし麗しのモダンガール
うふふふ

目覚めた時には元通り
あなた可愛い寝顔ね
うふふふ

なんどでも　戻れるはずよ
あなたに　さよならは　絶対言わせない
あなたは素直なモダンボーイ
わたしが　いいって　いうまでは

■ Lyrics (Google Translate)
"Enihcam Emit"

You're a fickle person
It ’s too heartless.

Scars that remain here forever

I want to go back to the two of us when we met

It's completed time machine
You have a cute sleeping face
Ufufufu

When you wake up, it's back to normal
I'm sure you're crazy about me
Ufufufu


This is the place where the two met
You're chasing a 10-yen bill

Sakura stays here forever

It's completed time machine
I'm a beautiful modern girl
Ufufufu

When you wake up, it's back to normal
You have a cute sleeping face
Ufufufu

We should be able to go back anytime
I will never let you say goodbye
You are a straightforward modern boy
Until I say "it's okay"

Track 6 of Tarot album
So excited to have had the honour and privilege of working with Brian Butts on this track! 
The title 'The Tower' just sounded like it should be a rock track, so I asked Brian if he could put some wicked guitar onto my backing track - and OMG did he deliver!!!
Massive thanks to Brian for his awesome guitar work - really enjoyed this collab!

Thank you for listening ♥

I was inspired by Liisa Pentti’s recording of “Black Is the Color” to do a remix of her interpretation of a traditional folk song.  I was so impressed with her performance and her beautiful voice, so I roughed out an initial version and sent it over to her.  She offered me her original recorded tracks, which enabled me to produce this posted version.  I am very thankful to Liisa for allowing me to do the remix and post it for your enjoyment.  Please visit her SoundCloud site @liisapentti and listen and comment on all of her amazing songs.

Liisa Pentti - Black Is the Color (B•F•S mix)

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?
