I worked my way through the various tracks I've written and recorded and selected 1 track from each of my shorter EPs and 2 from each album, starting with the earliest recording.  They are probably my favourites from each, but often don't match with the most played songs!  But this would be a starting point for a live setlist for me I think

GARDEN OF SENTIMENT

"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.

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.

Travel to Spring

A blend of acoustic guitar, violin, piano, steel guitar, and accordion creates a rich, intimate sound. The lyrics reflect personal experiences and spiritual reflections, offering moments of peace and introspection in the midst of life’s challenges.

Exiled (Early Demo)

Look Into My Eyes

The first of the Marc Freak EPs, Wraith combines the lofi pop of Guided by Voices, with a splattering of Bowie, and a dash of Nick Cave to arrive at a package of college style alt rock.  With the theatrics of Iggy Pop thrown in for good measure.

Wraith

Keys are key on this pop tune about a mad lover that shows restraint with excitement but no restraint with anger

Limiter On Your Life

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

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

Once again, a great pleasure to work with IT! ( https://soundcloud.com/samantha-hubbs ) some more.  She has added such another (sultry) dimension to this (and I love it).  Its like Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin have been embraced by a bondage clad Depeche Mode.  Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it.

DOWN ON MY KNEES
[I know what you want to do
Let me play with you
You can look but you can't touch it
You must obey, you must submit
Bad boy, do as I say
I want you to crawl my way]

I'm lost in these echoing corridors
I'm caught in this maze
Searching out for someone to save me
So I don't rot in this place
Repeat / refresh
I hear the voice again

CHORUS
I'm down on my knees to pray
To give all my life away
I'm aware of my place
A punch in the face
Mistress I will do all that you say

I have no direction or ambition
And that's why I serve
All my life is a contradiction
I've been a slave since birth
Do this / do that
I hear the voice again
And I like it

CHORUS

[Such slender, so divine
Surrender, now you're mine]

CHORUS

Down On My Knees (featuring IT!)

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?
