Singer-songwriter Gary Marks has released his new single “Nobody’s Following,” an unreleased track originally recorded in 2007. The track features Marks on vocals, guitar and keyboard, Mike Moroney on bass, Greg Donscov on drums, and was mixed by Grammy Award-nominee Mark Needham.

This is rock at its best, combining a great rhythm track with powerful lyrics. Sadly, very few voices in rock write songs like this anymore.

The single follows Marks’ recent LP, Crossroads (Lantern Heights Records) a 2026 Record Store Day UK / Europe selection.

Of the song Nobody’s Following, Marks recalls: ”I wrote this song about Bush’s Iraq war, which reminded me of Johnson and Nixon’s lost war in Vietnam, and which is now about Trump’s war with Iran, and his insane environmental policies. Nobody should have followed any of them. All it does is make America look short-sighted and foolish. As Talking Heads once said, ’Same as it ever was.’ But if we admit our mistakes and find real solutions, it doesn’t have to be like this forever.”

For five decades, Marks has written songs about power, compassion, democracy, and freedom — themes that feel strikingly current in 2026.

Beyond music, Marks is a prolific author, having written a nonfiction book distributed worldwide (John A. Wiley & Sons, 2006) and more than twenty novels and novellas, including his flagship political novel The Dance and the Diamond Sky, set in a fractured 1960s America whose parallels to 2026 have struck early readers.

“An amazing book… The Dance and the Diamond Sky generates wisdom that directly reflects upon the internal and external struggles we face today.” — Sherry Robb, Robb Literary

“Nobody’s Following” is out now.
