This song could almost be sweet and romantic, but you just had to throw haemorrhoids in there.

"I Just Can't Live Without You" (demo v1)

A short demo song made on September 5, 2024, still under development, e.g. lacking a second verse, bridge and modulation etc. Since the name "Never Gonna Give You Up" is already taken I have to think of another one:) One possible alternative could be "I Just Can't Live Without You". This tune came into my mind when thinking about the chords and progressions in my earlier song "Peace".

This was made and played by me using sounds e.g. from Yamaha Montage 8 (TX816 Electric Piano), Keyscape (Roland MKS-20 EP sound), Arturia Jup-8 V (Horns), UVI Ultramini & Arturia Mini-V (Moog bass sound) and UVI PX Memories (cf. Memorymoog mod).

Mastered on Ozone 11.

I'm certainly not a lyricist, but the idea here was that the lyrics in the chorus would be something like this:

I'm never gonna let you down [etc.]
- - -
I'm always gonna bring you up / I'm always gonna cheer you up
- - -
Im never gonna let you down
- - -
I just can't live without you

If catharsis is the sense of relief after tragedy, this is what comes afterward.

Lyrics (what the sea seemed to be saying)

Don’t you be afraid
There’s nothing to fear
Life is always good
Love is always here

I am in you all
I am in your heart
Longing for love
I’m in every part…

…of the universal being
willing us to be
and you are universal
You are beautiful and free

I can hear your voice
speaking endless tongues
Dance forever
to destiny’s drums

And with every beat you’re curving through
a moment of change to a meaningful whole
and the arcs illustrate to me
you are my centre of gravity
You are beautiful and free

Beautiful And Free

My cover of the classic tune Mamma Mia by the one and only Abba.  I MAY have taken a few liberties in song structure and style.

Mamma Mia - Abba Cover

Off our soon-to-be-released album, this song is one of our "glitch style" pieces - all extra short, they avoid traditional structures and include playful instrumentation. This one includes Gina's surprise "sampled" vocals. 

Water can get in
Wherever air may go
Wherever air may go
Water can get in
Water can get in
I won't let you make me be the mad one
No no no
I won't let you make me think they're the bad ones
I won't let you make me be the mad one
I won't let you make me think they're the bad ones 
Wherever air may go

water can get in

Exiled (Early Demo)

Look Into My Eyes

I can use any name that I want to
I can drink anything and its fun to
I've got hell of a mess left to undo

All the hypocrites have already spoken
I've no idea what they've been smoking
But its a blazing fire that they're stoking

CHORUS
Look at the camera and say cheese
All the negative eruptions
Dribble sap and then hide in the trees
All the negative eruptions
And the negatives rub off on me
All the fake praise and fake sympathy
Hold your head up high and freeze
All the negative eruptions

So the horse has already bolted
I've a book of my faults that I've noted
Its a nugget of shit that's been coated

I can use any name that I want to
I've got hell of a mess left to undo
I can drink if I want to

CHORUS

Negative Eruptions

Cover up?  I've nothing to be ashamed of
I'm growing up - I guess I am, well kind of
What you see is what you have forgotten
Enjoy the sight because I'm starting to go rotten

CHORUS
She saw me and I'm not fazed
We capsized in the old days

Poisoned chalice, but the venoms deep in your blood
Are you thinking?  I thought I heard a loud thud
Sink or swim, won't you please pass me the armbands
Picture me naked waving at my true fans

CHORUS

I’m Not Fazed

I'm clairvoyant knowing where you've been and you're not annoyed
I'm always itchy and I'm under your skin like a haemorrhoid
But I'm overjoyed

CHORUS
However hard I'm trying not to break it
I've had a history of being a half-wit 
If I hold on tight I hope you won't split from me

I read your letters and I read your mind.  Its audible
I'm digging deep to see what I may find and I'm gullible
But I'm still loveable

CHORUS

I’m Clairvoyant

Mind abuse
I have tried to break your world in two
But what's the use?
You've already made me look a fool

Class reject
I just hoped things would improve in time
Course neglect
This is nobody's fault but mine

CHORUS
Gained a death warrant
Gained a smear on the bedpost
Gained a death warrant
But I warrant I've seen the least and not the most

Spank the slave
I've been building up to this for years
Soul to save
Though I do not have any super powers

CHORUS

The Least And Not The Most

Check out my smile and smell the posies
And take the front seats
Now get ready to applaud

You truly are looking fantastic
Slightly plastic
Lets just say it, I'm a fraud

CHORUS
You realised I'm ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-charming
Now you're paralysed by my ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-charming

Every cloud has a silver lining
Mine needs refining
But I'll dance on anyway

Please take my hand for quite a journey
Got to get up early
But thanks again for the fun play

CHORUS

Charming

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?

I’m Clairvoyant
