Marc Bolan wrote "Life Is Strange", words and music, for Tanx, the album EMI released in March 1973 as T. Rex's eighth studio record and the fourth under that name. Tony Visconti produced it, and the record finds Bolan stretching out: next to songs cut from the same cloth as The Slider, he let his taste for soul, funk and gospel seep in, brought female backing singers onto a few tracks and had Visconti widen the palette with mellotron.
No singles were pulled from Tanx to sell it, and it didn't need any, climbing to number 4 on the UK albums chart.
