If I was playing a 'Marc Freak' gig of my electronic based songs, this is the setlist I would most probably play

Marc Freak for the Electro Lovers

This track references (and paraphrases) W.B. Yeats poem "The Second Coming". Written in 1919, it reveals an apocalyptic prophetic vision from the shattered perspective of World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic. It's really starting to feel like this poem's time has come.  

W.B.

Tempest in my way
Trotted up to say
May you go with the greats 
and hold out for decay. 

Got put through the rout
And spoke like I had gout

Fridged on the earth 
Hold onto the earth
Standing on earth 
Tempered in my way
Tempered and watered
Tempered and watered
Tempered and watered
Tempered and watered

She looked at me sideways
She had to study Monet
Pressured by her parents
Desperate to horde the carrots

Stomping up and stomping down
 Holding breath until she’s blue
Spoiled brat with a simese cat
Gonna tell on you

Tempered and watered
Tempered and watered
Tempered and watered
Tempered and watered

If you want to
If you want to
Tempered and watered


Every night we're holding court
Holding court
Holding court
Holding court  
Tempered and watered

Tempered and Watered (Calmed and Nurtured)

Me and Zandra was jamming this track some while ago just after I finished it. And it just sounded so wonderful and we just felt that we need to record it and make like a smooth version that could work well in a live situation.  So here it is.. 
I also tried to record my cajon drum for the first time.. and sounded pretty ok in my opinion... no? :)
I love Zandras awesome and soulful vox https://soundcloud.com/zandra-hortell

We hope you like it :) <3

A Place Ft Zandra Hortell (Unplugged Version)

CITY OF DREAMS
I met you on the Roof
of the Roosevelt Hotel.
I threw a coin
into your wishing well.

Took the elevator
to penthouse 
number ten,
saw you from the balcony,
wanted to be friends.

Swimming in the fountain
at Washington Square.
I didn't recognize you,
you had changed your hair.

The dealers deal,
the children skate,
living in the shadow 
of the Empire State.

You walk the line of fearlessness.
You cross the line of recklessness.
and you fight the line of hopelessness.
I want to be part of the scene
when we rebuild the 
City of Dreams.

We said goodbye 
in Puertorican-Chinese.
I'm on Eighth Avenue
down on my knees.

The wail of the siren,
the roar of the train,
you said goodbye,
it'ill never be the same.

You walk the line of fearlessness.
You cross the line of recklessness.
and you fight the line of hopelessness.
I want to be part of the scene
when we rebuild the 
City of Dreams.

City of Dreams (a NYC story)

Electronic goth pop, or something like that.

INEBRIATED
I've finished my song
Whoever would have thought it would take so long?
There was a verse or two
That told briefly of my love for you

If you take the last line
It tells how you drank all of my wine
And from where I stood
Its lucky that the sex was so damn good

CHORUS
Everybody was celebrated
I too was celebrated
The whole world was celebrated
Whilst we sat there inebriated

I've forgotten the words
In fact half of the evening is all blurred
That may be for the best
There's a hell of a lot to get off my chest

CHORUS

I've finished my song
Whoever would have thought you could do so wrong?
I can forget a line
But I cannot forget our shitty times

CHORUS

Inebriated

What we did for money!

TASTE
The way your hair just dangles
A sticky knot of scandals
Grab hold of my love handles
Grab hold of what you can

A smile or I'm mistaken
Excuse me ma'am but are you taken?
You're very good if you are faking
Faking like your tan

CHORUS
Taste - You told me that you liked the taste
You didn't want to leave a waste
They paid you for a little taste
They paid you just a little

You really are a giver
Excuse my aching liver
I'm flowing like a river
I'm sorry about your eyes

You're gasping like you mean it
I'm gaggling like a half-wit
You know where you want to sit
Those magnetic thighs

CHORUS

I'm really sorry if it really hurts a little
I'm really sorry if they told you I was little
You may look hardened but I know you're really brittle
Push just one more time, thrust just one more time

Was that your backbone that cracked?
I can't believe what you packed
I've had a heart attack
I'm struggling with the pace

It's time to close the curtain
The future is uncertain
Take this to wipe the dirt
That's peppered on your face

CHORUS

Taste

If the kids wanna dance
Hot shoes - tight pants
High spirits - cheap bear
My eardrums - Can't hear or won't hear
I'm not here

CHORUS
If the kids wanna dance let them dance, let them dance
If the kids wanna dance let them dance

I'm tired - so what?
Party - I forgot
Can't take the pace
But I'm trying to catch the bass, deep bass
In yer face

CHORUS

One step, one fall
I'm proud I've gall
Raise your finger in the air
Let the world know you care
I don't care, I don't care

CHORUS

If The Kids Wanna Dance (Let Them Dance)

Misread eyes, misread signs
Regurgitated happenings from bad to the sublime
Static stare, fools beware
I've finished searching something that was never really there

CHORUS
I don't have time for this commotion
Puppy dogs and fluffy things
Designed to mess with me and my emotions

Clapped out heart, bombs aloud
I think that I'm exploding with my head up in the cloud
Dodge the trash, thoughts are rash
I don't have time for silly games excuse me whilst I dash

CHORUS

"Got" at last, read and weep
Commotion is commodity and violence is just cheap
Claim the prize, take the rise
My ever growing ego is transcending to the skies

CHORUS

Commotion is commodity and violence is just cheap

Puppy Dogs And Fluffy Things

Rough video - https://youtu.be/5gaYofokLkw 

A grey hair - I turned the other cheek
If I turn away for long enough I won't find what I won't seek
Be I wise or be I clown?
It even hurts a little bit when I am sitting down

CHORUS
Whoever you are I'm older than you think
I'm glad that you think otherwise - I'm truly tickled pink
Whoever you are I'll gladly take the praise
I'm slowly growing older but I hope its just a phase

Won my heart all torn and soiled
It has beaten and then burst more than anyone in this world
Have a laugh - give a smile
I'm an educated mind but mentality of a child

CHORUS

Tickled Pink

Das Leben ist wie ein Puzzle; fehlt nur ein Teil zum Vervollständigen, dann ergibt der Rest keinen Sinn mehr!

Life is like a puzzle; if only one piece is missing to complete, the rest doesn't make sense anymore!

Missing Link

ANARCHO

There's this pesky voice and I'm hiding it
I don't do that much, its my mental crutch
I'm all madness and saliva
I confide in her, I'm inside her

It's a sickness and paranoia
It'll destroy her, I'll enjoy her
Hold on tight we're already falling
Can't you tell we burn in hell?

I'm the crazy son and the psycho
Did you see the sign that said "out of his mind"?
I took a photo, wore the T-shirt
You didn't seem to mind we're walking blind

CHORUS
The hat has come off, its truly enough
The heat is intense and so is the silence
Just save it.  Just save it
The fight has been fought, the germs have been caught
Its dragging us down into the ground
Just save it.  Just save it

I don't know what we've both been using
I'm losing her but I still choose her
Be still my piercing headache
I hear something break, there's just so much I can take

There's this pesky voice and I'm hiding it
I don't do that much, its my mental crutch
I'm all madness and saliva
I confide in her when I'm inside her

CHORUS

We've all got someone to save

Save It

What did I say on this track? Not even I know!

Impossible Rooms By Lemonade Ft. Her Trusty Dream Tiger

Albatross

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?
