really nice man, keep up the good work

Loved this when I first heard it two weeks ago. Still a firm favourite for me. I love the whole album, but I think this and the closer, The Final Few Minutes, are my favourites. I guess they both speak directly to me.

LOVE this one... love it to bits.

Oh huge sound again - love it. Fabulous song.

I saw the title when you uploaded a couple of weeks back... LOVE the title... and it doesn't disappoint (slightly different song than I'd have written with the same title, though!)

Massive stereo! Gorgeous sound... loads of space for the message in the middle.

Oh yeah. Love that "All I am..."

This brought a smile - I've been here. This is probably my favourite.

A beautiful closer to an awesome, complex RPM album. So lovely to hear new stuff from you. I agree with will of the sun, this *could* be your last, but I'd love to hear that lighter, more optimistic side of you in your final few moments! What a year it's been.

Great to hear so many elements in this album - wonderful layering throughout, and the electric guitar in this track is so perfectly placed.

Great song writing - great arrangement.

Great moody vibe - love the depth added by the bvox towards the end.

This is a gem. Ah, lovely stuff!

Love the overlays at the end - that works beautifully in pulling out the hook!

Fantastic song. I came here from the RPM Challenge 2022. I really love your musical sensibility. Well done. I am looking forward to checking out the other tracks in the album.

I love all the guitar layering you're doing on this and other tunes on the album. Creates great depth.

Digging this, love the flange on the guitar.

Quite a challenging album, an emotional rollercoaster; everything from an air of pessimism, to poignancy, to heartfelt. As usual, you have a great way of painting pictures and telling stories through your lyrics. I know you mentioned that you would be proud if this was to be you last album (I'm paraphrasing), and I would agree because it's a great album. However, at times the album is quite dark, which is a bit of a departure from the optimism I'm used to hearing. Hope you continue with your music.

Great track! Love the full instrumentation. You should open up your singing like this more often.

Wow... poignant.

Great song, Tharek! I agree with Bethan and Tess... Definitely one you wouldn't want to forget. Great guitarwork, great vocal... Just beautiful.

Holy crap, great opening guitar! Damn, just great stuff, T! Thanks for sharing this great music!

Man, I can tell the time, energy, love, and pain you put into this album... A truly a magnificent compilation of music.

Great track... I love the accent that comes through on this one. Man does this one ring true, my kind of folk music, my friend.

Great haunting sound to this one, my friend. Osckilo night was definitely a good idea!

Great track... Fantastic live performance! Wow... just wow.

So nice to listen to this one again... One of the good ones that I didn't miss a while back!

Ah... So good right from the start, but I've come to expect that from Osckilo's acoustic arrangements. Instant fave. Man, I could just listen to you playing acoustic guitar all day. Tomorrow I start the download fest of Osckilo's greatest hits for use on road trips.

Faved at 0:10... Wow. This style of layered guitar arrangement is just incredible! I'd love to know in what order you recorded them... It's so cleanly and perfectly played... I feel like I walked in on a great live gig.

I'll stop saying it at some point, but I really am amazed and envious of your understanding of your instrument and your voice. Just timeless music. Incredible.

Man, so the words just pour out of you as you play, because that's what it sounds like... The words themselves are so perfectly formed to work with the music. I am truly envious of this marriage of vocal/instrument arrangement.

Oh wow... This is amazing! Man, you are some kind of musician! Just beautiful style... How did I ever miss this one?

Excellent arrangement... You have a great musical ear! Having messed around with Garageband for hours to get quality arrangements, I can appreciate the effort involved in producing such a full sound... and those searing vocals... Wow.

Very heavy stuff, man. What a departure from the rest of this playlist. Quite ass-kickin',

Faved at 0:15. Not to worry, my friend, this is not "preachy" at all... Just a genuine song representing a part of who you are.

Oh wow, this is good right from the start. I had already faved this one a while back. Just a great love song from the amazing perspective of recall. INCREDIBLE guitarwork. What is your music background, Tharek? This is as good as it gets.

Beautiful opening picking, Tharek! What a genuine voice... Talk about honest music. Wow. I have a feeling that your music will soon begin to influence mine in some pretty profound ways.

How do you do your recording? Do you have separate mics for the vocals and guitar? I'd love to know since it sounds so good (I'm always looking for good ideas in an effort to make my music sound better).

Just a fantastic use of "ours is not to reason why." Great guitarwork and chord progression as always... If you don't come away from this song thinking hard, then there must be something wrong with you.

Just fantastic. So many powerful verses and every one is so meaningful and necessary. Whereas I find it hard to fill out "that dreaded third verse," it seems to me that meaningful words just pour out of Tharek effortlessly as he plays. I wish there were a way to "double favorite" a song when it's this good.
