Freaking Friends

Freaking Friends is a song by Mystik Spiral, apparently dedicated to Daria and Jane.

Lyrically, it's typical of Trent's habit of stringing rhyming couplets together with only the slightest attention to meaning.

Musically, the song is both monotonous and all over the place. The vocal and rhythm guitar part mostly stays on one note, on the other hand, the bridge features a mellotron that would feel at home in a sixties psychedelia song, followed by a guitar solo that belongs in an eighties hair metal song.

Two different recordings exist, a complete 2:36 song with three verses, choruses, brigde and guitar solo, and an excerpt from a live performance heard in Is it Fall Yet?. The complete version has a music video, included as its own track on the complete DVD box set and made available for viewing on Reburb.

It is the only Mystik Spiral song that exists in a complete version, and in-universe, it is the only song Mystik Spiral has recorded in the studio. Trent answered two questions about the song and video in the IIFY chat room:
