Stand back, Sek is angry

Sek is pretty much demanding that people give him a break and leave him alone (apart from attending his concerts, presumably). He’s doing so in song, but it’s a song you don’t want to play while there are children around. 

“Sen Tang Luk Phu Chai” – the title refers to the journey that a man’s integrity undertakes – is about a fellow who admits he’s made mistakes and now wants to be given the chance to stand up straight again, rather than everyone rubbing salt into his wounds. It sounds like he’s miffed about the public uproar over him smashing his guitar in a recent show, but in fact he says he wrote it before that incident, while still in rehab. 

The video accompanying the single finds Sek strumming a nervous-looking guitar in his private studio and singing passionately. Interspersed are photos of him smoking and chatting up babes.

“I’m not in a good mood,” he warns. “Don’t you dare mess with me.”

From there the lyrics get incendiary, including Thai equivalents to the “F word”. He invites critics to use their mouths to suck his toes instead of sniping and says they ought to be grazing on the grass in their fathers’ backyards. 

And there’s much worse, as more than 90,000 viewers of the video on Sek’s official LosoChannel have discovered.

Most people are cool with it, leaving comments like “Bravo” and “I love it!” and hitting the “like” button 3,400 times, compared to just 700 dislikes.

Yes, some people are offended. “You call that a ‘song’?” a visitor called ThaiHidden commented. 

Remarks like that spark catfights with the fans, but funnily enough, Sek posted on Thursday that he’s giving the profits from the single’s sales to dog shelters. It’ll be sold separately and won’t appear on any album, he declared.
