This was the first in this set of 3 songs I am posting. I was gaining alot of inspiration from the likes, of Justin Currie and Jackson Browne at the time.
Recorded using Reaper DAW & Jamstix virtual drummer software.

This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…

A bit of comic relief is good when you have some writers block. I had he song mapped out years before I recorded it. I need to record its companion "Won't you please squeeze my udder Farmer Joe?".
While I was writing 'Afterall' I was also putting this song together. This is about a ghost who is haunted by his own past and what mistakes he had made in his former life.

Oh yet another nostalgic blast from the past. I found this unbelievable backing track surfing the web some years ago. I usually never use backing tracks because they usually suck bad . But this one is like having mitch and noel at your side. I…

This one's really growing on me.
And I didn't notice the story behind it when I was first listening (although I suspected something along those lines from the song itself).
A sad tale, but a gorgeous song.
I heard Vaisvil's Track earlier and had a bit of time so i thought i'd add a vocal....so thanks Chris for letting me play.........

"No Need"
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…
Waiting for silence though the noise still consumes my ears
More and more violence waging war for the selected few
'CAUSE you can't take away all those profits
For THE few that have more than they can use
So crawl around stick your head in the…
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 :)
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…

Oh,You have beautiful voice! Respect!!!
fluently poignant

Excellent....
Back for some more...ooooh Yeah!!!!
Refreshing. I like the sound of an acoustic guitar, and I really like the sound of acoustic and electric combined. Nice
I like the lead in and a little levity is always a good thing.
Another good one. The strings are really nice and fit the mood of the piece so well.
Nice voice and a nice atmosphere to the whole song.
Yep, I Like This
Speechless... Wonderful...
Very good track
Kick ass memories! Excellent! w;-)
Absolutely wonderful track! w;-)
"Afterall" has a great swing to it. You really put this one together well.
Nice tribute to an old friend.
Solid! Love the noises and the power snare!!
Quick one - Then I read it was for a website. Cool arrangement!

Nice, has a Pat Metheny feel....like that stand bass and the verby washes. Sound painting.
