A crazy little song written while considering Ed Robertson's plane crash from a few years back, "Any Landing" is given much legitimacy by Ashley's incredible voice and Kavin Allenson's (Kavin S. Acoustic Church) guitar.

So I'm watching Ken Burns' documentary on the National Parks and realize that I'd never written that John Muir song I had been meaning to get to... So I got to it. Tim Alexander (Letter Seventeen) mentioned that he thought the song needed a…
Vocal excellence from girl named Sam... Do you really need any other reason to listen?
A Little Playing
Blue sky
Only getting clearer
Blue eyes
Like looking in a mirror
I can tell just what you're thinking
By that tiny little flicker…
A few years back (when I lived it Texas), I drove out to an open field to watch the Geminids meteor shower... I really need to remember to look up at the night sky more often.

Really good guitar on the rpm keith. Sounds like your trying a few different styles and patterns for strumming. Nice lyrics as well, and it sounds like your new studio setup is workin pretty good!
The contrast of this aging "summer boy" and his outdoors-loving daughter who is more than happy to run out into the cold.

a special place indeed.... i have raised two sons and a daughter,,, i still remember the day i brought my first son home for the first time,,, was a crying for joy moment,, our children are the greatest of all gifts,, and being a good parent and a good spouse are the two hardest jobs/tasks in the universe,,, (but i admit to being a little weird)your song is a beautiful testament well done,,, Richard
When the girl in the room is just too cute for me to concentrate on whatever it was I was trying to do.
Anything Done
How am I supposed to get anything done
With you looking like that
I'm so far gone
I'm forgetting where I'm at
How…
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, about six months ago, I uploaded a rough study called "Songwriting Day One." I wasn't sure where the song would go, but words came in January just in time for this year's RPM album... And before I forget... Curse you Bm!!!

So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.

I truly apologize for the roughness of this song, but I'm testing to see if the best way to motivate myself to finish something off properly is to have something REALLY rough up here... So I can replace it QUICKLY with something done right.
Had to do this in Live....
Not Much time to Record Lately..
One track through the MBR onboard mic..
Hope you Like it!
Peace

All right, well I'm starting my OsCKilO music experience listenting to the playlist "Arise (Live and Acoustic)"... Mostly becuase I already love the title track. This is just a magnificent piece of songwriting. The straightforward simple arrangement and up-front vocals are just terrific. I am such a fan of the live recording, and this is one of the best.
For those I call my friends....
Where ever in the world you are...

What a great song... Beautiful delicate arrangement. And yes, I see what you mean about the similarity in the feeling of our songs! Fantastic use of multiple vocals! I could never pull it off as you have! You are one hell of a songwriter... I am in awe when I listen to the freeness of your music and the heart that is poured into them.
An intrumental Track I put together when Thinking about my family.
One Guitar represents my son, one my wife and one me......
Two Versions with Vox (Jim Higgins and Geir Alfsen) are also in existance.. not sure how to link to this site…
Just playing around - wasn't too upset with what I ended up with. Sort of an intermission to something... if I decide to pursue this one, I'll get rid of that annoying buzz, I promise.
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…
Your "studio floor" as you call it must be one nice-sounding place. I hope you come back to this to flush it out further... It would be so easy to sing to this (and I hope you do at some point).
Sorry for the multiplicity. In the future, I should probably refrain from uploading until I have something more of a finished product. I doubt I'm finished with this... but it is, indeed, something more.
I've been meaning to come over and have a listen to some of your stuff, and this is just outstanding! What are you playing and how are you recording it, because the tone is just amazing.

Wow. This is songwriting 440 (where I should belong somewhere in songwriting 201). How was I allowed into this class? I have no prerequisites nor do I have professorial approval and yet I find myself here learning more in 4:28 from Doctor Osckilo than I have in years.
Incredible stuff, sir.
Outstanding from the first note. Great eastern-feeling guitar... Excellent build at the minute mark. Terrific arrangement, Brian... Maybe your best yet!
I cant seem to play this unless I do it live....
That is something new to me...
Used to be the other way around....

Wow. Just terrific guitarwork counterpointed by lower edgy vocals... What a sound! For me, this is a course in guitar 101... Great track.

Soooooooooo good. Just brilliant lyrics, incredible delivery. So real. I am in awe. Wow.

Oh my, this is incredible.
Wow. Amazing and powerful. Just magnificently performed and so undeniably real. Beautiful simple arrangement. Well done, Braeden.
Wow... Great song, great feeling. What a voice and powerful delivery. I hope to hear more music from you, Rachel!
As always, Gumbo, just terrific musicianship! Holy friggin' Woody Guthrie reincarnated!
Great stuff... Very haunting sound, I can imagine the artistic movie scenes that this could play magnificently behind.
One of the best songs I've ever heard. Period.
Man, this stuff is so Jud Caswell-esque... just good in every way. Great talent!
Your "studio floor" as you call it must be one nice-sounding place. I hope you come back to this to flush it out further... It would be so easy to sing to this (and I hope you do at some point).
Again, just great from the start... Fave'd at the 12-second mark.
Yup, another great track right from the start.
Wow right from the start on this one... So smooth and delicate and poignant. Instant favorite.

Great track! Great sound, love the live stuff. Terrific lyrics, great feel, excellent vocals. First rate.
Great relaxed groove. Faved within 20 seconds.
