I wrote this one a couple of hours ago.
I set up for recording, and busted a string on the Martin... GAH!!!
I tried a big ole dreadnought thing…
GEEZZZZZZZ! Your lyrics always just slay! Fun to imagine all your arrangements moving about in your head. It sounds like a major league anthem in the making!

OK, this is a bit of a departure for me - posting songwriting demos.
This is a one mic recording made this morning in the living room, touch of reverbs…

I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…
Love it - also the era it is from! I hear the Bron-Y-Aur Stomp but only because you mention it (that is one of my favourite Zeppelin songs). Fun and great musicianship truly.

Ah! I now read your post....that challenge seems more zen :). I also like that emphasis on the song writing part. You're off to a fabulous start! PS thanks for listening to my stuff - much appreciated. ONWARD WE GO! lol

Wow - glad I found you. I'll chime in with the other comments - that is an amazing demo! The raw guitar and voice gives it an intimate feeling (befitting of the song). Well done! Now I'm listening to the other song that came up....really professional!

I love the raw quality of your vocals and just your guitar. Really powerful indeed. Your lyrics touch that place of remembrance of a long ago friend. What might they be like had they stayed around…. Love it!!

I was asked (told?) to upload something happy. Hmmm, I thought. This will end well...
So, a few days later, I was rehearsing a pleasant little thing I wrote several years ago that has a working title of "She Was…

I can see you on your rocking horse now
The one that turned around and kicked you in the teeth
He thought…
Rats on the long message! I just figured it out… it was bleeped away when one song ended and the next popped up mid typing by me. All hail Taylor Swift!!! I hope you and yours are doing okay during these crazy times.

I've been missing in action for ages - apologies to all, I'm about to start listening again too.
For ages, I'd been considering a move away from my trusty Boss BR1600 on which I've recorded and mixed nearly everything…

So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant…

I've been messing around playing guitar from time to time... I came up with some progressions and thought maybe I should lay down some tracks since I haven't posted in a while. I found the beginnings of some lyrics I had jotted on my iPhone and…
I just acquired a five string banjo. It was broken and I did a lot of work to it. It is now playable, though I'm waiting on some parts (the 5th string tuner is no good so it only has 4 strings, and I have to tune of of those 4 using vise grips…
Yes - Like it. Really works like this.
I want to get a banjo, but I'm filled with trepidation over what sort to get - so I keep putting it off.
This has re-awakened the urge.
This is one that I started with a synth progression and over the week it grew....
Everything is in there but the kitchen sink I think. Used midi for GB synth sounds, choirs, bass, Kontakt strings and organ, piano,horns, sax lab for sax, godin…

Music and Lyrics by OsCKilO 2013
I had never seen a place so cold...
Glad I don't live there any more.
Happy that I like the simple life...
Bright lights.
Sun and Moon.
Any Star that lead away from you.
Now I move on, not moved…
Just me and my acoustic.
I've just learned how to record both at the same time.
I didn't know this song the day before this recording.
It was done in one take, with dodgy guitar playing, wrong lyrics and sore throat :)
from the jail cell came a song from the condemned .......

No it's not the Zep track....it's a bit of blues Reg style thinking of those poor folk who survived the levee breaking in New Orleans but had nothing and had lost loved ones.......

oh She is beautiful even dressed…
This is the title track off my second album. That means it's not a new track, or recording. It was written in summer of 2012 and recorded around October or November of that year. But it had not been put up here and I thought I would share it…
A little sick; but couldn't resist.

The lighthouse is still: calling me out to play.
I know we flipped the covers, but still I can feel the waves
The glass in the mirror, wont mean a thing till the wind sings along.

In a noisy house on a quiet street

How come I feel like I'm back in the Court of Henry VIII, with a merry minstrel strumming his stuff ..... love it ....
GEEZZZZZZZ! Your lyrics always just slay! Fun to imagine all your arrangements moving about in your head. It sounds like a major league anthem in the making!
Good one. Keep going, you can do it!
That’s a great sounding demo Andrew! I share your thoughts on RPM. I did it for several years, but now I would rather take my time.
Love it - also the era it is from! I hear the Bron-Y-Aur Stomp but only because you mention it (that is one of my favourite Zeppelin songs). Fun and great musicianship truly.

Well it does it for me, and I find myself agreeing with all that you say ...
Very nice Andrew - and the edge provided by ‘live’ is great for the song 👍👍
I love the raw quality of your vocals and just your guitar. Really powerful indeed. Your lyrics touch that place of remembrance of a long ago friend. What might they be like had they stayed around…. Love it!!
Still one of my fav songs of so many awesome song you’ve written. Your writing is absolutely amazing!
Rats on the long message! I just figured it out… it was bleeped away when one song ended and the next popped up mid typing by me. All hail Taylor Swift!!! I hope you and yours are doing okay during these crazy times.
Glad you're sharing more of your art. I haven't been able to listen in until just recently. Best of luck.
WoW! Rock on! Great crisp guitar. You must come over some time and make one of my guitars sound like that.resting break...huge.
Added to my favorite playlist...perfect driving music.
Top notch guitar playing and production arrangement. Great stuff. 'nick of time' very British alleyway:)
Absolutely fabulous! Your lyrics always mesmerize… wonderful to hear your amazing music again. You’ve been missed indeed.
You've been gone too long! This sounds rich - love the stereo duelling guitars. Great tune and lyrics too
Good stuff, really crisp sound.
Liking the country vibe! Lovely harmonies too. :)

First of yours I've heard. Nice one. Got me clicking the "Follow" button.
Yep, like this version too.

Cool version.
Nice one. I like everything-but-kitchen-sink music anyway (well, I can't not, can I?!), love how you've fitted it all together. Gorgeous track.
Oh yes, love it. Around two minutes, the stuff on the right (I'm in headphones) scared the crap out of me!! I actually ducked as it appeared lol
Aww, this is fabulous.
Yo T :-) Good to hear some new stuff from you. Like it.
Oops! Wrong account... that was me :-) Yeah... love the vocal
Another goodie. Where DO they all come from?! :D
Oh this is class. Love it.
Like it! Lots
Yeah, like it... DIY and all!
You are a crazy man! One of a kind...
Nice one.
Another cool chorus. And you're not alone on the subconscious song subject!
Nice one, like the chorus a lot.
Glad you couldn't resist. Love it.
Don't know the original, but I like this version.
Yep, cool RPM. Nice one. Digging the Stones and Crowes type boogie.
