MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME, STEVE!

NOT THE WAY THAT IT APPEARS
BUT THE SUM OF ALL MY FEARS
REDUCES ME TO TEARS

WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE!

I MAY SEEM KIND OF WIERD
THAT’S WHY YOU DISAPPEARED
THAT’S WHY I’M ALL ALONE IN THIS WORLD

AS A CHILD I LOST MY WAY
IT’S STILL WITH ME TO THIS DAY
I GUESS IT MUST BE TRUE WHAT PEOPLE SAY
THAT SOME OF US ARE MEANT TO PAY

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE

YOU AVOID ME, I AVOID YOU
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE
REINFORCING THE DISCOMFORT
I GROW WEAKER AT THE KNEES
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE

PLAYING BACK THOSE AWKWARD MOMENTS
NO ESCAPING, NEVER FREE
ON MY MIND AND ON REWIND 
EVERY SCENE, INDIGNITY

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE!

WHAT YOU’RE SEEING ISN’T SMUGNESS
WHAT YOU SEE, IN FACT, IS SHAME
ORCHESTRATE MY OWN DURESS
ULTIMATELY, I’M TO BLAME

ROUND AND ROUND IT GOES:

YOU AVOID ME, I AVOID YOU
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE
REINFORCING THE DISCOMFORT
I GROW WEAKER AT THE KNEES
AND THEN I FREEZE

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE!

My Name Is Steve, I Haven't Had A Friend In 40 Years (WELCOME TO NO FRIENDS ANONYMOUS)

SHINING
Music by Louis Cyphere & Overdrive

Shining is my reinterpretation of the wonderful song Nevermind by the talented French musician Louis Cyphere. It's also my foray into the musical genre of ska-punk, which blends punk rock and jazz brass (a very interesting style of music with two extremely unlikely components). And of course, many people will notice that the guitar riffs are clearly inspired by the exciting songs of Motorhead, with an obvious touch of rockabilly. 

Hopefully, having all these different ingredients in one song will make young musicians curious enough to look for these references. If that happens, I will consider my job done.

The song Nevermind, from which Shining evolved, is a masterpiece that deserves to be heard:

BOTOX BABIES
Original version by The Dream Eaters
Remix by Overdrive & Marc Freak

Check out the promo video on Instagram:

This is a reinterpretation/remix of the song BOTOX BABIES by the duo The Dream Eaters. The original version is only 12 seconds long, and even with that short duration it's absolutely brilliant. So in November 2024, I contacted Jake Zavracky via email, told him I couldn't get Botox Babies out of my head and asked if I could do a remix of the song. In a completely irresponsible act, he agreed (lol) 😄 So I called in the talented singer Marc Freak to do the vocals and you know, when you put two guys together who like B-52, you can't come up with anything that doesn't have a strong B-52 influence.

Well, Jake, the only thing I know is that it's too late to regret it. 😄

Hope you like the remix.

THE DREAM EATERS:

The Dream Eaters can be defined as The Carpenters meets Slayer. Formed by the duo Jake Zavracky and Elizabeth LeBaron, the band is a full-on video art project with an extensive catalog of quirky, darkly humorous music videos of their catchy pop songs, and has a cult fan base. I'm a big fan of the band's work and highly recommend a visit to their Instagram:

New EP Deathbed Visions is out now. Check it out!

MARC FREAK:

A prolific musician, author, photographer and oddity, Marc's influences range from the lo-fi pop of Guided by Voices to the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, via the glam of Bowie and the rawness of Iggy Pop. Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe, an experiment in DIY and lo-fi. A visit to Marc Freak's Soundcloud page is an absolute must:

TITLE: RISE UP AMERICA
_______________________________________________________________
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
Storm clouds gather but we won't break.
Grit and glory for our children's sake.
Hollow dreams turn into golden opportunities.
Rising from the ashes bold, maintain security.

(Verse 2)
Tides of time washing fears away.
Victory whispers in the dawning day.
Hands that labor & hearts that sing
In unity. We find our wings with fresh beginnings.

(Chorus)
Stand tall against the dark of night.
In the struggle, we see the light.
With every heartbeat we ascend,
Hope and love shall never end.

(Verse 3)
Mountains high and rivers wide,
Together we shall never give way to enemies nor subside.
Whispers of freedom in the wind,
A new era: let it begin!

(Bridge)
Tear down the banners of regret,
Stepping forward no need to fret.
In the echoes of yesterday,
We find the strength to pave the way.

(Chorus)
Stand tall against the dark of night.
In the struggle, we see the light.
With every heartbeat we ascend.
Hope and love shall never end.

(Outro) Rebuild the land of the spirit of the free. Lift up those bowed down & regain dignity.

An explosion held back too long. Screams suffocated under the skin, fingers that scratch the soul from the inside. Guitars like blades, drums like detonators. Burning inside is the price of those who feel too much and keep too quiet. Now the silence explodes.

Lyrics
[Verse]
The ash is falling like a blackened snow
The fire’s inside me
It won’t let go
My veins are rivers
They're running red
A pyre ignites the thoughts in my head

[Chorus]
I’m burning inside
Can’t run
Can’t hide
The flames won’t die
I’m burning inside

[Verse 2]
A scream is rising but it makes no sound
The smoke’s a shroud that pulls me down
Every ember whispers
It knows my name
The heat’s a lover and it plays the game

[Chorus]
I’m burning inside
Can’t run
Can’t hide
The flames won’t die
I’m burning inside

[Bridge]
The walls are melting
The shadows crawl
I see my face in the fire’s thrall
Every spark a secret
A truth untold
This inferno’s mine
It’s fierce and cold



[Chorus]
I’m burning inside
Can’t run
Can’t hide
The flames won’t die
I’m burning inside

Burning inside

It will get easier I guess
I get the questions but fail the test
It will get easier I guess
Just give it time
But I'm not feeling fine

I see your name in someone else's frame
The words that I want next to my name
No-one would guess that I'm in pain
What's that about?
I want to shout our love out

I have a true love
That nobody knows
The pain of the secret clearly shows
I want to call out her name in the air
It matters to me whether anyone else cares

It will get easier I guess
But in my mind I'm just a mess
It will get easier I guess
I shouldn't care
Just so long as you are here

It will get easier with time
It's just that I'm proud that you are mine
It will get easier with time
If people see
That I'm down on one knee

I have a true love
That nobody knows
Does it really matter I suppose?
But if I died tomorrow the memories are just ours
And I want to talk of our love for hours
And I'm denied

It Will Get Easier I Guess

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?

It Will Get Easier I Guess
