Autor: Vince Garcia | Publicado: 2011-07-14T13:09:00-03:00





Eu já falei do Mark aqui no Blog, ex-vocalista das bandas King Kobra, Signal e Unruly Child.

''Long Way From Love'' é o disco mais famoso de sua carreira solo, o tema do disco inteiro é amor S2. São canções românticas, o puro AOR de relacionamentos, com letras as quais nos remetem a situações em que já passamos ou vamos passar na vida. Esse tal de amor não é mole não.

Mark começou sua carreira profissional aos 19 anos, em Michigan, 1973. Em 1983 ele conheceu Carmine Appice e em 1984 formaram o King Kobra, e juntos gravaram 2 álbuns: "Ready To Strike" e "Thrill of A Lifetime", que são dois plays ultrasensacionais, dos anos 80!

Apesar do sucesso, Mark tinha outros interesses e visão diferente da banda, então, como o líder do King Kobra era Carmine Appice, Mark pediu saiu do King Kobra em 1986.

Já em 1987, Mark&nbsp; formou banda com outros caras, o nome dessa banda é Signal, Em 1989, a Signal lançou o álbum 'Loud &amp; Clear', um de seus trabalhos mais sensacionais de todos os tempos, falando de amor ainda. E lançaram um Ao vivo com músicas do Loud &amp; Clear, quem quiser, é só me pedir pelos comentários que eu disponibilizo o link dele.

&nbsp;A banda foi desmontada depois de Mark ter feito outra banda, chamada 'Unruly Child', em 1991. E em 1992 foi lançado o álbum 'Unruly Child'.


&nbsp; Marcie Free




Mark sofria de disforia de gênero, resumindo bastante nesse caso, é um profundo estado de insatisfação com o próprio gênero sexual.Em novembro de 1993, Mark foi operado e tornou-se Marcie Free, como vocês podem ver na foto.

Já em 1995, Marcie então resolveu aposentar-se do mundo da música e se mudar para próximo de sua família, de volta para Michigan.

Em 2009, Marcie voltou com os caras do Unruly Child', assinaram contrato com a Frontiers Records e assim gravaram o álbum ''Worlds Collide'', em 2010; ''Down The Rabbit Hole'', em 2014 e ''Can't Go Home'', em 2017.

01 - Someday you'll come running

We play a game of touch and go
Your door is open but your heart is closed
I heal your hurts and pay the price
You walk away and you don't think twice
Maybe I'm just a fool
Who always answers when you call
Baby, who else will shelter you
When the rain begins to fall

Someday you'll come running to me
When you know it's a prison, being free
Someday you'll stop chasing your dreams
Someday you'll come running
You'll come running to me

Too much of you I live without
Our bodies speak but not our mouths
I can see his shadow in your eyes
But I don't ask where you've been tonight
I pick up the pieces
Every time you fall apart
Baby, but I keep tripping
On the pieces of my heart

Someday you'll come running to me
When you know it's a prison, being free
Someday you'll stop chasing your dreams
Someday you'll come running
You'll come running to me

When the wind blows colder
No one to care, no one to hold you
Love's not a road of no returning
Just look around
The fire's still burning

Someday you'll come running to me
When you know it's a prison, being free
Someday you'll stop chasing your dreams
Someday you'll come running
You'll come running to me
____________________________________________________

Algum dia você virá correndo pra mim

Nós jogamos um jogo de tocar e ir embora
Sua porta está aberta mas seu coração está fechado
Curo suas feridas e pago o preço
Você vai embora e não pensa duas vezes
Talvez eu esteja sendo um bobo
Que sempre responde quando você chama
Baby, quem mais vai te proteger
Quando a chuva começar a cair

Algum dia você virá correndo pra mim
Quando perceber que é uma prisão, sendo livre
Algum dia você vai parar de perseguir seus sonhos
Algum dia você virá correndo
Virá correndo para mim

Eu vivo sem muito seu
Nossos corpos se falam mas nossas bocas não
Posso ver as sombras dele em seus olhos
Mas eu não pergunto onde você passou a noite
Eu junto as peças
Toda vez que você desmorona
Baby, mas eu continuo tropeçando
Nas peças do meu coração

Algum dia você virá correndo pra mim
Quando perceber que é uma prisão, sendo livre
Algum dia você vai parar de perseguir seus sonhos
Algum dia você virá correndo
Virá correndo para mim

Quando o vento soprar frio
Ninguém para tomar conta, ninguém para te abraçar
O amor não é uma estrada sem retorno
Apenas olhe em volta
O fogo continua queimando

Algum dia você virá correndo pra mim
Quando perceber que é uma prisão, sendo livre
Algum dia você vai parar de perseguir seus sonhos
Algum dia você virá correndo
Virá correndo para mim

02 - Stranger among us

A Stranger Among Us Marcie Free
Another night is falling
Dropping down on me like stone
Something tells me you'll be calling
"Working late, can't make it home"
The shadows seem to whisper
As the hours bleed away
She's got someone else, he's with her
You're the fool to let him stay
But my body burns with memories
A flood of fire drowning me

There's a stranger among us
Hiding in your telltale eyes
There's a stranger among us
Oh, baby, why do you keep running
If you've got nothing to deny
I can feel it in your touch
That stranger (... stranger)
Among us

We never talk it over
But goodbye is in the air
And every time I hold you
You're the girl who isn't there
"What you don't know won't hurt you"
Cries a quiet voice inside
We make everything but love
And dress the naked truth in lies
But my heart's a prisoner of the past
Living each moment as its last

There's a stranger among us
Hiding in your telltale eyes
There's a stranger among us
Oh, baby, why do you keep running
If you've got nothing to deny
I can feel it in your touch
That stranger (... stranger)
Among us

When the thrill is gone
Secrets in the dark
Will his love go on
Or will he break
Will he break your heart
_____________________________________________

03 - Coming back for more

There's no rhyme or reason
For the things I tend to do
I some crawling on my knees again
For another round with you

Tell me no guts no glory
Well I'm hurtin' deep inside
'Cause it's hard to believe
Your feelings for me
Ain't nothing but a way to stroke your pride

The highs and lows are killing me
Now I'm heading for the door
So beg me to stay
Swear you're gonna change

Keep me

Coming back for more
For a love that so strong
There's no right there's no wrong
Even with my heart out on the floor
Keep me coming back for more
For a love that's so right
Your touch in the night
Keeps me coming back
Coming back for more

Secrets you've been keeping
In the silence of your room
Been a while since I suspected
There was something troubling you

Know for a while it's over
Many times I tried to break
In the night all alone
Hear your voice on the phone
Come on over just tonight for old time's sake

Without your love this life is cold
Gonna burn to feel the fire
I'm falling for you
No matter what you do

Keep me
_______________________________________________________

04 - The Last Time

Oh, I can't believe the time has come,
What can I do, there's no place my heart can run
Hold me close, it's not too much to ask
Help me forget, tonight might be our last
Don't let it pass.

If it's the last time
Let me wrap my love around you
Let me lose you like I found you
Make it feel like paradise.

If it's the last time
There's no danger in the fire
Let it burn and take us higher
Let's give it one more try,
One last time before goodbye.

We've got one more chance to make it right
To share the days, the way we shared our nights
Oh, the talkin' was so hard to do
I turned away and kept on hurting you
It can't be true.

Now it's the last time
Let me wrap my love around you
Let me lose you like I found you
Make it feel like paradise.

If it's the last time
There's no danger in the fire
Let it burn and take us higher
Let's give it one more try
One last time before goodbye.

Let the heartaches fade away
Give them back to yesterday
I need you to stay and hold me, touch me,
There must be a way.

If it's the last time
Let me wrap my love around you
Let me lose you like I found you
Make it feel like paradise.

If it's the last time
There's no danger in the fire
Let it burn and take us higher
Let's give it one more try.

No...if it's the last time
Let me wrap my love around you
Let me lose you like I found you
Make it feel like paradise.

05 - Hard Heart to Break 

"Don't come too close," you tell me,
I don't wanna risk the fall,"
But words don't matter when I hold you.
I've been just as lost and lonely,
Busy building walls,
Looking for someone to sell my soul to.
Love's such a dangerous game,
It's a naked flame in a raging wind.
I'll brave the hurricane
I'm not afraid to try again.

I've got a hard heart to break,
I'll weather the storm,
Do whatever it takes.
If love is a hell, then Heaven can wait.
I've got a hard heart to break.

Even when you turn away,
Across a desert of desire.
Freedom's only loneliness
Called by a different name.
We pray for rain, standing in the fire.
Love's like a river that runs
Warm in the sun or cold as ice.
Baby, let it begin
Cause you'll never swim
The same waters twice.

I've got a hard heart to break,
I'll weather the storm,
Do whatever it takes.
If love is a hell, then Heaven can wait.
I've got a hard heart to break.
Changing partners like time changes seasons,
The blind always leading the blind.
But love never asks us for reasons
When your heart beats,
Your heart beats with mine.

I've got a hard heart to break,
I'll weather the storm,
Do whatever it takes.
If love is a hell, then Heaven can wait.
I've got a hard heart,
A hard heart to break.

06 - High Life

You're a frequent flyer with no permanent addres
Trying to buy tomorrow with your travellers checks
Gotta blonde Mercedes baby and a grey flannel mind
Out to make a killing, if Lady Luck's willing
But you're only killing time
Be a do-or-die, down to the wire
Point of no return
You're standing in the fire
But you can't feel it burn
Living in the high life
Out on the edge
Fast track to nowhere
Fool's Paradise
Never satisfied
In the high life

You're a real jet-setter and a man of your own means
Dress your honky-tonk angels in their holy jeans
Gotta wash-and-wear heart you like to pass around
Go out and live it up, use that Midas touch
But you just can't live it down
It's dog-eat-dog, trying to beat the odds
Saying only the strong survive
When you're six-feet under
Boy, we're all one size

Living in the high life
Out on the edge
Fast track to nowhere
Fool's Paradise
Never satisfied
In the high life
Suicide 'Express
More than your fair share
Fool's Paradise
Never satisfied
In the high life

Your eyes are wide open, but you can't see the light
You're playing for keeps
And Fate is rolling the dice
Living in the high life
Out on the edge
Fast track to nowhere
Fool's Paradise, never satisfied
In the high life
Suicide 'Express
More than your fair share
Fool's Paradise, never satisfied
In the high life

Living in the high life

07 - State of Love

I pledged allegiance to your heart
I was on my knees
Out of my head right from the start
You were out to tease
I chased those rainbows in your eyes
Oh, you had me hooked
Made you the story of my life
Then you closed the book
You took my dreams
And tore the seams apart
When it comes to heartbreak
You're the state of the art

State of love
It's a state of mind
Easy to lose
And so hard to find
I've stayed too long
I'm packing up
And moving into a new state of love

You said you'd take me all the way
Now I'm out the door
I thought love was a state of grace
Not a state of war
Flying so blind
Lost in a land of confusion
But I see you love's
Only a state of illusion

State of love
It's a state of mind
Easy to lose
And so hard to find
I've stayed too long
I'm packing up
And moving into a new state of love

When your heart cries emergency
Don't come running to me

08 - Slow down the night

If I'd known it was over
Felt the wind blow colder
Heard the laughter slowing
Seen the heartaches growing
Love slipped away, day after day
If I could turn back the pages
Somehow read the changes
Try to touch your heart
Before we walk away and it falls apart
Just one more try
Don't let it come down to good bye

Slow down the night
Make this moment last a lifetime long
Slow down this heart
Racing through the past
Too restless to hold on
My world is in your arms
So Hold me tight and we can
Slow down the night
We Can slow down, slow down the night

I never saw the danger
Time that made us strangers
Let the shadows gather
With each dream we'd shatter
Love disappeared, year after year
If I could turn back the tide
And keep the fire alive
Forget what used to be
Before our love is only a memory
Just one more chance
To hold the future in our hands

Slow Down the night
Make this moment last a lifetime long
Slow down this heart
Racing through the past
Too restless to hold on
My world is in your arms
So Hold me tight and we can
Slow down the night
We can slow down, slow down the night

I Was the last to remember
You were the last to forget
Can't you feel my heart break
Feel my heart break
Across a mile of regrets

09 - Look Love in the Eyes

It didn't last, but it doesn't end
Just when I give you up, you got me giving in
Where were you when cold and lonely came
A tide of tears, ain't that a cryin' shame
Well, I'm not your stepping stone
Better wake up, or you'll be walking alone

Too blind to look love in the eyes
You start a fire
But you can't take the heat
When will you stop and realize
It's time to say goodbye
Or look love
Look love in the eyes

You turn me on, then you turn away
Just when I think you're gone
You're coming back to stay
I take the fall
And my world comes tumbling down
But when I call, you're nowhere to be found
Well, if you're into thinking free
Better not think of running home to me

Too blind to look love in the eyes
You start a fire
But you can't take the heat
When will you stop and realize
It's time to say goodbye
Or look love
Look love in the eyes

Your words, they run like water
I'm drowning in the undertow
Don't talk about forever
It's now or never
Let me in or let me go

Well, I'm not your stepping stone
Better wake up, or you'll be walking alone

Too blind to look love in the eyes
You start a fire
But you can't take the heat
When will you stop and realize
It's time to say goodbye
Or look love
Look love in the eyes

10 - Never to be a next time

The night is still and secret
Its shadows are our own
Tangled in the dark together
Separate and alone
I say, "Baby, can't you feel the danger
Taste it in the air?"
Somehow we two became strangers
With lives we can't share
But if we open up our hearts for one more night
I know we can take what's wrong and make it right

There will never be a next time
There will never be another chance for us
This had better be the best time
Cause tonight we're going to win or lose our love
Don't let go
Or there'll never be a next time, I know

No matter how I hold you
Somehow it slips away
We're always reaching for tomorrow
Chased by yesterday
I say, "Baby, can't you hear the silence
Thunder in the dark?"
Tonight it's now or never
And the dreams we lost are waiting to be found
And it's not too late to turn it all around

There will never be a next time
There will never be another chance for us
This had better be the best time
Cause tonight we're going to win or lose our love
Don't let go
Or there'll never be a next time, I know

We let the words get in the way
But our bodies can never forget
All of the promisses we made

There will never be a next time
There will never be another chance for us
This had better be the best time
Cause tonight we're going to win or lose our love
Don't let go
Or there'll never be a next time, I know

Don't let it slip away

11 - Long Way from Love

Is it tenderness or torture,
Joy that only ends in pain
As the cold blue light of morning
Steals you from my side again.
You set my senses burning
And the embers linger on,
A wildfire of yearning
In the ashes of the dawn.
Your restless soul keeps running free,
It's like asking the wind to belong to me.
You won't let me go, but you'd better know
We're a long way from love,
A long way from forever.
Tomorrow waits for us.
Baby, it's now or never.
Half a heart's not good enough.
We're long way from love.

"I'll come back soon," you whisper,
With the fading of the stars.
When these arms ache to hold you,
Time's a prison without bars.
I collect my stolen moments,
All the bitter with the sweet,
How you let your touch torment me,
Walk away and watch me bleed.
I'm living on a desperate prayer
Someday you'll turn, around and learn to care
We can make it through, but it's up to you.

We're a long way from love,
A long way from forever.
Tomorrow waits for us.
Baby, it's now or never.
Half a heart's not good enough
We're a long, long way from love.

Casting off the night's disguises,
Heaven ends when day begins.
Playing hit and run with heartache,
It's a game nobody wins.
