Quite The best Christmas song I´ve ever heard in decades!

Superb...Always very prolific, it's fantastic!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - ❤️🕊️🙏

Have a Christmas beer instead of Christmas cheer

great song, it show the other side of the coin

After a considerable amount of time, my old friend Simone (Mome) and I had the chance to record a piece of music together: a short unplugged ballad, a cover of a great classic by CS&N that we tried to render as finely as we could, adding a bit of an unconventional Middle-Eastern flavor. Heartfelt thanks to Mome for adding his awesome acoustic bass part on a couple of guitar tracks I'd recorded before leaving Tunisia. Only recently I had the chance to complete the song with vocals and a few bağlama licks, so... That's it, in hope it won't break anyone's ears. I should add that in fact Stephen Stills wrote this tune, but since the other two guys crucially contributed to its composition with their superb vocal harmonies, I thought it was right to mention the three of them as co-authors. Since we started playing together, about 36 years ago, we'd never covered anything by CSN, so I guess it was about time.
I warn you: despite of its partially exotic vibe, this one definitely sounds way more "traditional" than usual, and I must confess that it was in first place a way to try out my new mic and home studio setup, and a nice chance to jam with one of my best friends ever.
I went through quite a lot of changes these last months... I apologize to everyone because I haven't been around for a while, and I sincerely thank every friend who found the time to drop a line or listen to the stuff I put here. I'll try to reply to your comments and messages as soon as possible, and hopefully I'll have the chance to be more active in future, with new releases and reposts. I still have plenty of strange sounds hanging inside my brain, that's for sure.

You Don't Have To Cry

You Don't Have To Cry (Crosby, Stills & Nash cover) | Feat. Mome

My version of the great Beatles song. It's not too far from the original. I play it in a different key, bit faster, different guitar/uke strum pattern, use more percussion and have none of the guitar riffs or piano from the original. It is a favourite of mine.
Thanks for dropping by.

Words

Standing in the dock at Southampton
Tryin' to get to Holland or France
The man in the mac said, "You've got to go back"
You know, they didn't even give us a chance
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me

Finally got a plane into Paris
Honey mooning down by the Seine
Peter Brown called to say
Now you can make it OK
You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me

Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
The newspapers said, "Say what you doing in bed?"
I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me

Saving up your money for a rainy day
Givin' all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said, oh boy, when you're dead
You won't take nothing with you but your soul

Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake from a bag
The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me

Caught the early plane back to London
50 acorns tied in a sack
The men from the press said, "We wish you success
It's good to have the both of you back"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me

Ballad of John and Yoko (Beatles)

I'm all for having a good time, I love to party, but look after yourself and those around you.

Bright Light. 

HARD LIQUOR WAS THERE TO TEST ME 
AN ANGEL WAS SENT TO BLESS ME 
THEN THE TIDE CAME IN, WASHED OVER EVERYTHING

MAMA COCA WAS OUT TO GET ME
TRIED TO LEAVE BUT SHE WOULDNT LET ME
PRAY THE WIND GETS UP N BLOWS AWAY EVERYTHING


DON'T LOOSE YOUR SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANTHING AFTER TEN
BRIGHT LIGHT DON'T WASTE YOUR LIFE AWAY
DON'T LOOSE YOUR  SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANY PLACE YOU'VE BEEN
BURN BRIGHT STAR LIGHT FIND A WAY

HARD LIQUOR WAS THERE TO TEST ME 
AN ANGEL WAS SENT TO BLESS ME 
THEN THE TIDE CAME IN, WASHED OVER EVERYTHING

MARY JANE WAS THERE TO GREET ME
IN HER ARMS I CHILLED COMPLETELY    
THEN THE CLOUDS CAME DOWN AND I FORGOT ABOUT EVERYTHING

DON'T LOOSE YOUR SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANTHING AFTER TEN
BRIGHT LIGHT DON'T WASTE YOUR LIFE AWAY
I SAID DON'T LOOSE YOUR  SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANY PLACE YOU'VE BEEN
BURN BRIGHT STAR LIGHT FIND A WAY

DON'T  LOOSE YOUR  SOUL MY FRIEND
CANT REMEMBER ANTHING AFTER TEN
BRIGHT LIGHT DONT WASTE YOUR LIFE AWAY

This is the new official final version. I wasn't happy with the vocal, so I redid it. Now the song is PERFECT :)

Lyrics:

I gotta let go
And get to the ocean before it runs dry 
Wait for the night
To look to the sky
As it lights up just like the 4th of July

I'll hold my breath
I"ll pretend to care
No!!
I don't belong here
I guess I really never did

I can't help it 
I was born with a scar
I gotta let go of it
And reach for the mountains
I gotta let go

And get to the ocean before it runs dry 
Wait for the night
To look to the sky
As it lights up just like the 4th of July

I'll hold my breath
I"ll pretend to care
No!!
I don't belong here
I guess I really never did

I can't help it 
I was born with a scar
I gotta let go of it
And reach for the mountains
I gotta let go

Roll The Dice

Cast of characters:

Surfers Like Us–@user-411502040–Artur–songwriting, foundational rhythm guitar

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–sitar, mix, and production

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell–electric piano, vocals

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion, vocals

Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–lead guitar

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass guitar, vocals

  This song started with Artur composing a brilliant, open piece on his guitar, in his distinct surf rock style, and sending it to Josh. Josh put the bass down on top of Ken's banging drums, but it took Josh, a while to be able to get this one for some reason. Once he and Ken were locked in, though, they knew they had it. JJ then sprinkled his electric keyboard magic, followed by Tez, who lights up the whole thing with his electric guitar wizardry. 
  At Artur's request, Ken, JJ, and Josh added the big harmony vocals, "See you soon, in a better world." Artur wanted this song to be about the need for peace in the world. Last, but certainly not least, Stephen added the sitar intro. He also accomplished the herculean task of mixing and producing the whole thing for us.
  This is another true team effort by the Eclectic Collective, and the fourth in our series of surf rock songs. This also happens to coincide with Artur's birthday, so please go to his page and wish him a happy birthday. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

See You Soon ( in a better world )-Eclectic Collective

I'm drinking alone this Christmas
My favourite time of year
I don't need no family or friends this Christmas
All I need is lots of wine and kegs of beer
I don't need no company of sorts this Christmas
I don't need no company of sorts this year

The TVs on but I'm not listening
Theres not much worth the watch
I don't need no television on this Christmas
I don't need those voices ringing in my ear
I don't need no company of sorts this Christmas
I don't need no company of sorts this year

I'm done with all the cooking
Most of it all goes to waste
I don't need traditional meals this Christmas
I would just be happy with curry and beer
I don't need no company of sorts this Christmas
I don't need no company of sorts this year

I don't need no family or friends this Christmas
All I need is lots of wine and kegs of beer
I don't need no company of sorts this Christmas
I don't need no company of sorts this year

I Don't Need No Company This Christmas

My car broke down
Makes me appreciate how big this town really is
Won't shift gear
So no one told you life was gonna lead you here
It don't pay
Washing dishes all day
It ain't okay

I've fallen out of reality
Puke-yellow walls fill all my dreams

And I've been livin' in liminal space lately

So it seems this planet don't take too kindly to ETs
Tragedy, cause most of y'all are super-friendly
Do they think I ain't seen their stares or heard their calls before?
Tell me more

As time and space interleave
Emotions have a gravity

Liminal Space (2023-12-19)

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?
