You'll tell me when you're ready.
DON’T WORRY ‘BOUT THAT RIGHT NOW
Where have you been is all they’ve been asking
Where are you going is what I’d like to know
Why are you running when nobody’s chasing?
What are you hiding? What can’t…
Follow the arc through the sky
Hard to judge how high
Only steel in your spine
Pretend you can fly
For a moment in time
Only you and the sun
Trying to catch the other one
A free man's work is never done
It's just begun
Turn your head…
As outraged as I've been over the past week, when I sat down to write about it, all I could think was, "How can I get through to someone?" This is the result.

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.

What a beauty-full song, Keith! How wonderful if we could ALL "lay low" at Christmas and simply appreciate one another's presence and love! Thank you for gifting us with your lyrics and melodic sounds! Your is a true "Christmas Heart"!

I've watched 'em all fall since September
If I could, I'd be selling the leaves
We've been making ends meet on a shoestring

Wow! This song just really touched me deeply. What a beautiful song... so raw but so lovely and warm too.
All my best to you this holiday time. I hope the best for you and wish that the hope you express here is infectious to more than just me.

Gather 'round the bonfire for some sh*t-kicking New England bluegrass, boys and girls! Feel free to sing along!

This is fantastic! I didn't realize GarageBand had a wide verity of samples. Then again, I've never worked in the program. I think I need to educate myself in it.
Up with the sunrise
My new morning routine
Late last night with the fireflies
One more dimly-lit scene
Need to trade in these old eyes
Hard to tell red from green
Pull the visor down tight
And tie up the chain
Let's ride blind in the…
The finished product! Oldest daughter shines!
We don't always see eye to eye
And there are some days I don't know how we get by
We spend so much time caught in the race
Gotta slow down the pace
When did the river get so wide
All I thought…

Turn your head…
Take me where I've never been
Give me bad instructions once again
Strap me in and watch me fly
Sit back, take bets on just how long until I die
Just me against the world
Impressing all the pretty girls
I'll do impressions standing on my…
I've been living like a poor man
Lying on my back day after day
Waking up wearing the same old clothes once again
The vultures and vampires won't go away
They bring me just enough to stay alive
The stuff you only eat when there's no other…
How many ways can you get yourself killed?
How many ways can you die?
So many ways if you have a strong will
A will so much stronger than I
Put rocks in your shoes and go jump in a lake
Go walking 'round barefoot with venomous snakes

First song of the year for me...
Recorded on New years day 2011...
-Good Times-
Words and Music By Tharek Mokbul
These Good Times,
In this Old Life
Are Earned...
Not Learned...
I’ve seen old faces,
Fade away,
In my mind…
Happy New Year, Tharek!
Hey, great track, this one (although I've come to expect good stuff from you on a regular basis). So glad to be the first to come by and hear, comment on, and fave this song!
Damn, Colin. This album really is outstanding... With respect to your commentary on this song, I have my share of re-tweaked songs that I am now utterly unable to play as well... But none of them are this good.
Oh great track right from the start, Colin! Faved at about 0:30. Love the dialed back vocals... Not that the regular explosive vocals aren't great as well, but what a terrific change of pace! Great choice for an album title as well... Many a independent film would benefit from this song on their soundtracks.
Colin, this newest batch of songs you're posting are just outstanding, particularly regarding your vocals... Just great without a note out of place. My daily dose of new Colin has been and will continue to be a welcome distraction from the day.
Jqscutt had this guitar riff that he sent me and we worked out a song with bass, rhythm, lead and drums over the internet. I posted it for a collab for some key additions. This was added by TiS friends K-Lyd and Coruz. Later, they found Liam…
Excellent stripped down track, Peter! Outstanding vocals and rich acoustic tones on that guitar (I'd love to know how you get such a clean sound on that six string).
Great opening line! Faved at sh*t. Great sound on this one, Peter! As always, when I listen to your music I am extremely envious of your masterful arrangements!
I am leaving this week for a while but couldnt resist adding as the third collaborator on this excellent track by Keith Landry and Osckilo before I go.
Added some bass,ambient stings, and of course sleigh bell
Hope you guys like it.
See you…
Holy crap!!! Too cool! Ha... The sleigh bells just kicked in! How much time did you spend on this?!?!... And the laughing. Great interpretation of Osckilo's beautiful arrangement.
Tharek sent me this beautifully played guitar arrangement and told me to have at it with the spirit of Christmas, so I wrote and recorded this little message of hope and peace. Somehow when I write music with and for fellow musicians across the…
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff

What a beauty-full song, Keith! How wonderful if we could ALL "lay low" at Christmas and simply appreciate one another's presence and love! Thank you for gifting us with your lyrics and melodic sounds! Your is a true "Christmas Heart"!

Wow! This song just really touched me deeply. What a beautiful song... so raw but so lovely and warm too. All my best to you this holiday time. I hope the best for you and wish that the hope you express here is infectious to more than just me.
Great song and sentiment. We're all grieveing the demise of the American democracy.
I love the lyrics to this song. w;)
This is fantastic! I didn't realize GarageBand had a wide verity of samples. Then again, I've never worked in the program. I think I need to educate myself in it.
Great song Keith, simple and beautiful. ...and congrats on another RPM finish!!

My fave from the album. Your voice fits nicely in this key. w;)
I love this!!! w;)
Another nice track, Keith. w;)

"How many ways can you get yourself killed?" Consult The Darwin Awards. Seriously, this is very thought provoking. w;)

...And just back again to listen to this perfectly arranged and performed nugget.

Man, just listened to this over on your RPM post... And once again I reiterate... Damn.
Very cool... Great to listen to while grading these algebra quizzes!
Great track! Great rich sound.
Great sound! Peter, this latest batch of uploads is just outstanding.
Even better as it goes along.
Yup, great right from the start.
Faved at 0:05. Love the singing in the slightly lower register. This song has the sound of true authenticity. Just an outstanding track!
Faved at 0:30. I guess I'm partial to the minimalist arrangements... It really allows the listener to hear those outstanding harmonies!
Excellent stripped down track, Peter! Outstanding vocals and rich acoustic tones on that guitar (I'd love to know how you get such a clean sound on that six string).
Great opening line! Faved at sh*t. Great sound on this one, Peter! As always, when I listen to your music I am extremely envious of your masterful arrangements!
Wow... This is sick.
Holy crap!!! Too cool! Ha... The sleigh bells just kicked in! How much time did you spend on this?!?!... And the laughing. Great interpretation of Osckilo's beautiful arrangement.
Tharek's guitar work on this is truly magnificent!
Faved at 0:12. Great track right from the start.
