One of the first songs I wrote for "Burning Wood (the Bonfire Sessions)", and one of the last to be completed, Sam lends her incredible vocal talents to this sunny-day driving song.
LIFE IS GOOD
Windows down, my baby by my side
Life is…
The contrast of this aging "summer boy" and his outdoors-loving daughter who is more than happy to run out into the cold.
Late December
Late December
The nights get so long
Turning embers
In the dark before dawn
Late December
For…
Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, the opening melodies to this song found their way into my head... A song of hiking, love, and life... Won't you come with me on the trail?

Sometimes you need to stay up late to try to force yourself to dream.
When I wrote this song (and started singing it a bit), I knew that my voice could never give it what it needed... So I turned it over to one Sister Savage... And she did…
DREAMS OF THE OCEAN
Your kids'll be waking up in the morning
Just a couple of hours after mine have gone to bed
I've got the coffee warming
While dreams of the ocean are in your daughters' heads
I taught them all 'bout it late last evening…
Well, screw the metronome, damn the torpedoes, and grab a capo!
Sometimes the best versions are the ones played fast and loose. Hope you enjoy this song adapted from one of my all-time favorite poems (I'm a bit biased since my dad wrote it…

Bravo!!! and tha applause just got louder and louder from the man in front of the computer .....more.....more...

Very nice work!! Tess- if that's a demo vocal it sound pretty damn good to me. Keith- really nice arrangement on the song, nice strum pattern and some nice soft chords. Also dig the little backup vocals.

"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
Love this track, Norm! Would you mind if I messed around with a little acoustic rhythm guitar alongside your outstanding drums? I've got the capo up on the second fret and this beat has me playing in a way I never have before!
A Song I wrote about a friend of mine who used to Jump out of planes a lot.
This is one of the hidden tracks on my new album "Black Cat" which features Beth, Keith and Reewfwalker from alonetone and Geir and Jim from Songcrafters.
Here is a…
Did this back in 2009.
Before me and Jim actually met each other...
The music was improvised to the notion of returning home from space.
Jim did the Lyrics in 5 mins over the net..
And here it is..
My Harmonica was broken by the way. My…
Tharek my friend!
I came by to have a listen to this song a while ago when I was crunched for time and didn't get a chance to let you know just how outstanding it is... So Dylan-esque in all the best ways!

Well, here's a quick stripped-down version of a song that I wrote a couple of weeks ago and needed to record just to get it out of my head... Also my first crack at harmonizing with myself (kinda cool, but a bit weird for me to hear me singing…
07 She dreams Of Simple Things
In her own room
She’s her own girl
Magazine posters plastered into place
In her headphones
She’s a pop star
Hair brush microphone
And paparazzi face
She dreams of simple
Tiaras, tutus, diamond rings…
02 Perfect
See that girl over there brush her hair beside her bedroom mirror
For all the world she doesn’t show of know the glow within her
She shines inside
She powders down
And lines her eyes
It isn’t worth it, she’s nearly perfect…
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
A new song that I've been working on, still yet to be titled, but heres a live recording as part of the Winter Bridge Sessions (video to accompany on youtube).
It was recorded on a bridge at night in the winter ... aka Winter Bridge Sessions…
Great live take, Corbin. For the perfection of the your studio tracks, it is the purity of your live performances (particularly the outstanding vocal delivery) that truly blow me away.
I look forward to hearing that jig-picked guitar more clearly on a studio recording someday... And loving the commentary at the end of this track. It's good to hear the voices of youth (bringing me back to my own and the crazy things we'd do... much like recording on a bridge in winter).
This is a new song that was written and performed with my friend Tim de Graauw. One evening we sat down for about 2 hours, hashed out ideas, got the creative juices flowin, played some G tar aaand out of that came this song.
This is just a rough…
Man, great live recording in the undisclosed stairway location!
This track really is better than anything on the radio today... In every way. This song and "One Step At a Time" really are as good as music gets, and has me thinking about how to improve as a writer.
To think that you've written, arranged, and recorded these two songs this early in your musical journey has me looking forward to where you'll be going!
About a place in the world that is very special.
But It would be just another bit of rock if it wasn't for the people I shared it with....
This one is called “Stoneâ€...
Peace

When I wrote this it was a cold cloudy and dark winter night here in vancouver but I was sitting in my room and was just in a sunny state of mind. I then picked up my Uke and started fiddlin around searching for a breezy chord progression, then…
Yup... I knew we'd be hearing some incredible stuff coming from you. Outstanding tune in every way, Corbin. Terrific songwriting, perfect arrangement, and spot-on performance.
Stay true to this acoustic sound, my friend, and I'll be following every step of your musical ascent to greatness!
Faved at the opening notes. Beautiful arrangement, writing, performance... Damn, great song! I surely will be stopping by at some point to listen to more of your music in the future!
This is simple test of East-West symphonic choirs solo soprano voice and East-West Hollywood strings contra-bass. I feel its a bit reminiscent of Lord of the Rings - of course, your mileage may vary - it is a very simple and direct arrangement…
I'll always come by to listen to the music of Middle-Earth. Perfectly captured Elven voice sound! Oh... And make sure you get in touch with an Elf that still prefers to speak Quenya if you ever get the chance to record a real one (the high-Elven speech really is quite beautiful although the Sindarin tongue has it's own elegant flow).
Very cool song (coming from this card-carrying Tolkien disciple). Well done!
For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume.
recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009.
I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound.
Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem.
Because that makes much…
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff

Great song, drawn to it by the title and was immediately transported to the rockies! Thanks brother!

As the guys said, a high quality pice of music from both of you. Superb
Very nice work!! Tess- if that's a demo vocal it sound pretty damn good to me. Keith- really nice arrangement on the song, nice strum pattern and some nice soft chords. Also dig the little backup vocals.
Oooooo! Quality collaboration. Splendid vocals Sis.
Fav'ed and saved right off the bat. Nice sounding acoustic Keith.

I just need to comment on this one again... RIDICULOUSLY good track!
Faved at 0:12. Loving the perfect simplicity of the arrangement.
Man, this is way too good.
Tharek my friend! I came by to have a listen to this song a while ago when I was crunched for time and didn't get a chance to let you know just how outstanding it is... So Dylan-esque in all the best ways! Keith
Hey, thanks gang! Yeah, this next album might be a bit too happy and way too catchy.
Another a perfectly crafted song... An instant uglifruit classic.
Ridiculously good track. Outrageously hooky... Just seeing the song's name got the refrain going in my head again!
Just back again to listen to this epic piece of recording greatness!

How did this one slip under my radar? Love the stripped-down nature with the tempo change and spot-on harmonies. Damn.

Outstanding song... Beautifully crafted and performed. Well done, guys!
Playing this for my seventh graders right now... Starting the movement!

OUTSTANDING!!! This is right up my alley, Kavin!... Now if I could only learn to play like this.

Hey Inge, Just dropping by to listen to your good good stuff after some time away. As always, I'm amazed by the purity of your soulful vocals. Keith
