Love the kick in here! Also love your backing vocals.

interesting piece. poem and music sit well together kind of an anxious tension to the whole thing....

@philipcoreilly: do it. Make it big....😀

Oh, this is cool! Great psych feel, fantastic fuzz. Great poem, love this raven!

THE RAVEN
The dark bird caws an aching creak, jarring
high in the branches of my twisted hazel

Light drips thickly - like warm blood or hot metal -
from the anvil angles of its beak, cuts short
breeze, divides still water, and settles
deep in the silence of the little pond beneath

It is not the tawdry light of the mind
where still limbs, still torso, still breath pull close -
become justified - where truth is vulnerable to age

Nor is it the light of secret gardens, of mists
unsettling and godless clarity eclipsing everything

An illusive bat mapping shady new worlds
by shriek and wail.  The old owl's careful murders
These fears swoop in the cool of night

But this raven comes with the light.  Hopping and strutting
Gently tip tap tapping.  Its black glint encumbering
ornamental cherry trees, beach and oaks with ease

And it brings the white-hot light of fear.  The clarity of danger
The fat weight of doubt that lingers near
The crack in peace.  The spark of both death and change

The Raven (featuring the Poetry of CJ Harrington)

Space Hopper

The walls covered up in our lives
Blocks the feelings in our minds
This was how I lived 
Now a change is on the line

Yeah it hurts
And I feel
It’s something real

It means something 
It means something 
It means something 
It means something 

Let me break this down in my eyes
It’s the fear that makes this shine
Now I understand who lives here 
I know everything will be fine 

Yeah it hurts
And I feel
It’s something real

It means something 
It means something 
It means something 
It means something

It means something 
It means something 
It means something 
It means something

It means something 
It means something 
It means something 
It means something

It Means Something

DECIDED TO TAKE
THE SCENIC ROUTE			
TO THE MOUNTAINS			
 IN TENNESSEE			
			
WOULD BE			
TWO HOURS LONGER			
BUT A BEAUTIFUL DRIVE			
YOU SEE			
			
ENJOYING THE DRIVE			
COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE			
ABANDONED BUILDINGS			
NO LONGER ALIVE			
			
(CHORUS)			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
NO LONGER ALIVE			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
JUST A MEMORY			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE			
			
SOME PEOPLE FEEL			
THEY'RE SHADES OF THE PAST			
NO LONGER IMPORTANT			
THEY'VE LOST THEIR ZEAL			
			
DON'T LET FATHER TIME			
CONTROLL YOUR LIFE			
THEY ARE MOUNTAINS			
YET TO CLIMB			
			
THE SEASONS COME			
THE SEASONS GO			
STRIVE FOR THE BEST			
WHILE HERE BELOW			
			
(REPEAT CHORUS)			
			
(BRIDGE)			
ABANDONED BUILDINGS			
TELL A LIFE STORY			
WHAT STORY WILL YOUR LIFE TELL			
			
(REPEAT CHORUS -  OPTIONAL)

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?
