A lifetime of laughter when you were just kids
And all that came after the silly things you both did
Those times are long, long gone like they ran off and hid
Then the world got bigger with other places to play
And getting so caught up in…
A lifetime of laughter when you were just kids
And all that came after the silly things you both did
Those times are long, long gone like they ran off and hid

Everywhere I go, there's so much noise
They try to tell you you'll be fine if you purchase their new toys
But nothing on this Earth I've ever found
Can bring me back to life when the world's run me down
When nothing else can make it right…
The first lines of the chorus just crept into my head.
I had to write the rest.
ALL IN
You've been holding back for so long now
And I've been losing track of how many times I've written my vows
It feels like you're sleeping behind the…

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…

Here we stand beneath the sky
Take my hand as time rolls by
Here we stand, nobody else around
Did we land on solid ground?
Along the ledge
Side by side
So near the edge
Of the great divide
For Heaven's sake
I have no doubt
The steps…
The last wood of the season burning
Another winter - see you on the other side
After everything has died
The last leaves of the season falling
Soon the air will be filled with dark and doubt
And the fire's going out
The last night of…
I met a buddy out for dinner
To catch up on our lives
Both way less saint and way more sinner
At least, according to our wives
But as he got himself a-talking
He sounded more and more insane
What he believed became so shocking
For who…
I keep searching for a sign
From the other side
To keep my hope alive
Trying to walk the line
God knows how hard I've tried
Don't know if I'll survive
Gotta let it slide
Man, these are trying times
If you attempt to fly
You wind up…
Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides
To a paper circle at the end of both sides
Between the speakers, cover in hand
Sit in silence after Jungleland
I will not trade one bit of my soul for their pieces of gold
I've seen a world they'll…
Everybody's looking for a savior
To tell them how to live before they die
As if they can't control their own behavior
Or trust what they can see with their own eyes
Mindlessly believing what you tell 'em
When everything you tell 'em is a…
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…
Everybody's looking for a savior
To tell them how to live before they die
As if they can't control their own behavior
Or trust what they can see with their own eyes
Mindlessly believing what you tell 'em
When everything you tell 'em is a…
Some say, "It's the price you gotta pay"
Some say, "You gotta learn to walk away"
But I'm still standing in the light
And I won't go down without a fight
Some say, "True love is just a lie"
Some say, "You'll give it up before you die…
If I told you how well I know you
Would you tell me it's not true
Have you got yourself believing
No one could know you like I do
I know it's been a long time coming
So many others you thought would treat you right
But I'm gonna show you…
Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides
To a paper circle at the end of both sides

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.

Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
great tune love it .......cheers tony cee
This is a dynamite Keith Landry vocal.
Great sound on this, lots of space. Love the call and response outro. Excellent EP, Keith!
Love the guitar sound on this, crisp and clear. Heartbreaking lyrics.
Heartfelt and poetic, nicely done!
Really well done Keith. Nice use of space in the music. Smooth vocals as well.
Merry Christmas
Nice work, Keith.
Excellente!
Perfection again.
Perfection.
This is something I've experienced as well. And have used that in a song too! Great job, btw.
oh yes!! This is great. Beautiful voice you have (and cool guitar). The bridge is perfect....love that guitar. Congrats on your RPM :)
Great stuff Keith!
Very nice, one of my favorites of yours!
Great song. Lovely father-daughter harmonies. You’re a lucky man, Mr. Landry.
Sooooooooooooo good! I am freaking out over this song.
Another great tune just begging for a full band treatment.
Someone needs to give this a full band treatment. You have a serious pop vibe working here.
Excellent polished sound here, Keith.

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!

Wow... This is sick.

Tharek's guitar work on this is truly magnificent!
Faved at 0:12. Great track right from the start.
