And now for something completely…. Alternative (1)

Gaz Brownie:  Vocals, Lyrics, Melody
Ben Juul:  Drums, Mix & Master
Dirk Taubenheim:  Guitars, Bass

I had this instrumental song in that typical Britpop - Rickenbacker sound and thought the best singer I could get was Gaz. Finally I dared to ask him and he accepted! The result is just amazing - thanks so much, Gaz. The story you wrote, the melody you created and the vocs you recorded are just great!

I sent a song to my dear friend David, on his birthday, and invited him to start his birthday by taking a walk with me in our nature here in Sweden, to hear what possibly inspired, and appeared during this walk. ;)

You can also experience this walk visually here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uvdvLJZB0U

I also sent it to our dear colleagues Ed, Dan & Peter who have done many great collaborations with us, and asked them to "walk with us". ;)
This is the result of this delightful walk..... and we all, wish you all to have a lovely morning walk with this beauty, stillness, and pleasantness, during a wonderful morning, wherever you are. ;)

And our dear poet/lyricist Peter, who with his unmistakable voice conveys a message to you all, as he always does ,with a feeling and meaning that touches us all deeply. ;) You can find more of Peter's lovely poetry/lyrics and songs here: https://soundcloud.com/user-264930040/tracks

Have a superb morning, wherever you are in life. ;)

Peter lyric:
A tempered bond of ether gold forged from trust in seeming kin

Blenched of ore hewn from so much more than mere common ground

Metallicised, a like of kind that cannot tarnish, ne'er to rust, it's strength, atomic, set within

And so my grateful thoughts are due, my friend, to you, as one where empathy is ever found

To crystallize a state of mind as if from walks in morning dew as bright new days begin.

You open up those tired eyes
And the world is as bad as it seems
Just close your eyes and jump the jump
And you'll soon be living in dreams
Like Rapunzel letting down her hair into the mud
I turned around one second and I heard a thundering thud

CHORUS
I really should take sound advice from your wanting eyes
You're holding me between your thighs with your wanting eyes
I fell right for recurring lies of your wandering eyes
It really should be no surprise
Believe it or not you've got wanting eyes

I'm cuddled up - a babe in wrap
Its a second life I guess
I always fall for games and traps
And I was never much good at chess
I'm the average prince that's turned into an average frog
There's no trash or gimmick that you wouldn't try to flog

CHORUS

A candy house was eaten yet I was left with nought
But somehow you just win me over with a single pout

CHORUS

Wanting Eyes

Don't Let Go

A Warm Spring Afternoon

I went into the church the other day and i knelt down at the back of Church and began to pray to God to help me with a few problems that were out of my control, i prayed for the strength to except the things i cannot change, to change the things i can and for the wisdom to known the difference. I prayed for my Children for happiness for them and their children and for forgiveness for all those who need it. I also prayed for the Lord to shine his light on all the dark places in the world that are at War, for peace and help for all the starving people in  the world. I hope he was listening. 
As i prayed this song came to me, its not a very serious song but i think it has a great soul. :-)

Another track where I get to write melody and lyrics over Kris Bolin's music and expert production!  Check out his band The Bawl Slant - ( @bawl-slant)

Lyrics and melody - Marc Freak

THE AFTERLIFE IS LIES
Every night I wake up in a sweat
Every night I feel the cold and wet
End of the night it seems like the best yet

CHORUS
Think that I'm crazy
Tell me that the afterlife is lies
When I feel the shaking of your thighs
Think I'm demented
Do I decry your thoughts and faith
Well I am straddled by a wraith

The spectre's touch will bring me to the end
The benefits are better then a friend
The spectre's touch that i will not defend against

CHORUS

The Afterlife Is Lies (with Kris Bolin)

I THINK I'VE HAD A FUNNY TURN

CHORUS
I think I've had a funny turn
A mental disconnect
A blip that few would come to expect
So zip it
Think I've had a funny turn

Smile - dribble 
What's the matter with my cerebral matter
Broken overdrive
Distant vision
Pass the pint I'm on a mission
Fanboy photo autographs

CHORUS

Broken battered
There's nothing in the past that matters
Vomit putrid
Same my face
Dickie ticker
Watch me I'm a window licker
Tasting germs and times of old

CHORUS

I Think I've Had a Funny Turn (with Kris Bolin)

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?
