Yup this is Freak-y! Marc Freak-y at his best.

Excellent gothic vibe and production...great performances both!

a bit of bowie in these great vocals!! great performance!!

(Not my song, but a fave of mine from post-punk heroes Wire, and it somehow seems to fit in with my weird political tunes, except that it’s about insects.)

No blind spots in the leopard’s eyes
Can only help to jeopardize
The lives of lambs, the shepherd cries

An afterlife for a silverfish
Eternal dust less ticklish
Than the clean room, a houseguest’s wish

CHORUS:
He lies on his side, is he trying to hide?
In fact it’s the earth, which he’s known since birth
He lies on his side, is he trying to mine?
In fact it’s the earth, which he’s known since birth

Face worker, a serpentine miner
A roof falls, an underliner
Of leaf structure, the egg timer

CHORUS

Fusion Power is a full-on high energy classic rock-fusion track written for 2 guitars sharing lead lines in harmony & contention melody. A hustling bass line and & rock organ with a cool contrasting blues line at the bridge.

This is about the consequences of bullying. Morgan was 13, bullied at school mercilessly and relentlessly, until she committed suicide. When I read about the case years ago I found it distressing and later was moved to write this song. Don’t have a personal connection to what happened, I just found it really sad.


They found her in the morning
The sadness in her eyes remained
They had taunted and they teased
And broke her
She died in her sleep
Alone.

She fought them off as long as she could
They wore her down until the pain took…
She begged everyone
Rescue me from this pain.

They found her in the morning
The gladness in her heart erased
The tragedy of Morgan
Will haunt them
Each night as they sleep
Alone.

She fought them off as long as she could
They wore her down until the pain took…
She begged everyone
Rescue me from this pain.

Morgan can you tell us where you are
(The) life you lost was beautiful to us
Morgan can you show us what to do
(Your) life will shine a light for us from you.

Morgan
We miss you
Morgan 
We miss you
Morgan 
We miss you
Where are you, today?
We miss you.

Morgan can you tell us where you are 
(The) life you had was beautiful to us
Morgan can you show us what to do
(Your) life will shine a light for us from you.

AUTUMN SUNSHINE 

Here’s an uplifting tune celebrating the golden rays of light these last few days here in my part of the World, a much needed lighter tone to counterbalance all the insanity of our current day…

I hope it can uplift your spirits a bit too. As always I really enjoy all your likes, comments and shares. -Dan

JUST BLIND
Did you hear that?
Over and out
Did you see that?
Whats it about?
There's a ticking
Its not my heart
But its the broken kind

CHORUS
This is a life cut short
Listen as they applaud
Heavenly born child
There was so much to do
Wasted my time on you
You can't tame the wild

Twisted, decaying
Kept in a box
Can't hear what it's saying
But it never stops
But I'm not deaf just blind

CHORUS

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?
