“Phosphene” draws inspiration from the phenomenon of phosphenes—visual sensations of light that appear without any actual light source, often perceived when the eyes are closed—as a powerful lyrical metaphor for a love that shines as a radiant beacon amidst life’s internal and external challenges.

The song opens with a high-energy Afrobeat rhythm, grounding the track in vibrant intensity and brimming with energy and movement, before transitioning into a soulful breakbeat hook that offers a moment of introspection.

As the track unfolds, it crescendos into a free jazz ecstasy, with the intense interplay of the band creating a rich, swirling soundscape. Tony McCullough’s sublime saxophone work drives this emotional peak, embodying the cascading nature of love’s ability to guide and uplift, even in the darkest moments.

Phosphene (feat. Tony McCullough)

Lyrics: Not the same

Verse 1
You lost your mind if you think that I 
Could buy into these filthy lies
The systems died, they no longer hide
They creepin’ right before our eyes 

Bridge:
This is not a game 
We are not the same
This is not a game 

Bridge 2:
We’re not the same
I won’t play your game
But pretty soon you’ll know my name 

Verse 2:
When I grew up I never thought 
That this world could be so rough 
And now I find that you’re all blind
Do you want this world to die

Bridge:
We’re not the same
No one's to blame 
We’re not the same

Chorus:
Cry for the people
Cries in vain 
Smile for the people 
Then dance on their graves 
Times may be changing 
But they lock us in our cages
No one here to save you now

Verse 3:

I try to be a decent human being 
But you people make me mean
Feeling love is not the same
That thing you feel is shame

Chorus:
Cry for the people
Cries in vain
Smile for the people
then dance on their graves
Times may be changin'
But they lock us in our cages
No one here to save us now

Out

Not The Same

The Storyteller. The Rebel. The cure that nobody ordered, Marec K has a very different approach to music. From classic rock anthems to beautiful acoustic tracks or high energy metal bangers, this music is flawlessly executed with a rawness that just feels pure and old school in the sense that it feels genuine with attitude and conviction, everything rock n roll used to be. The guitar work is creative and unique and gets pretty crazy at times. The lyrics are real and they stir up genuine emotion as if the writer has put his heart and soul into each work. This stuff fully rocks 🤘😎🎸
