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
Looking…
The frames hang on the wall
We so often walk by
And don't notice at all
The world was still new
There's a light in your eyes
Back before we all grew
Close the window
It's getting cold
Or maybe I'm just getting old
There's a promise…

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…
This pretty much sums it all up for me I guess.

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?
Well, soon the new EP will be complete, featuring Jessica (the REAL talent in the family), but as with earlier songs, I thought y'all might like to hear what it sounded like when it first entered the world.
Meet me at The Narrows, ya'll.

A song written for a great girl who'll be getting married next year...
"You'll always be this young if love comes first
And you stay filled with life."

"You'll always be this young if love comes first
And you stay filled with life."
Well, I had to swear SOMEWHERE in the album.
GIRLS LIKE YOU
You’re young and pretty
Shy and smart and witty
With a face that could’ve
Launched a thousand ships
Tall, dark, and stupid
He must’ve paid off cupid
To get his ugly face…
An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
This is me live....
No frills....
I Play a classical because my fingers are too big... Lol!!
Sorry if it is a bit rough...
was a tough night...

-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).
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Very nice. w;)
"How many ways can you get yourself killed?" Consult The Darwin Awards. Seriously, this is very thought provoking. w;)
Pssst...check the lyrics. There's a typo.
This is so lovely. I like the chord changes. w;)
She has such a great tone - pure and distinct.! You guys sound amazing together too (The Narrows being a prime example).
Oh my, she has a wonderful voice - excellent tone. You sound amazing together. How wonderful.
Did you know this is on my all time favorites list? I'm not just talking about indie musicians, I'm talking any musician. I. LOVE. THIS.
Quite nice,,wonderful to share the love of music, well done
Excellent. Great tune, melody, harmony, guitar sound, etc. Thumbs up, sir.
Beautiful
I know where your coming from a beauty of a song .....
How could I have missed this? Beautiful! w;-)
I love this chord progression.
Really nice... I like the peaceful feel. Good luck with the EP!
You can write songs about anything and anybody, and they will always make sense and sound great! :)
Beautiful, like all your songs!
This is beautiful
Very nice acoustic style ballad with a suitably fine vocal performance - thumbs up from Croonesville!
One of the best songs I've ever heard on music portals. I've listened to it a lot, and I still love it.
Missed this one too? The lyrics are fantastic. Well done, Keith!

Faved at the first note. Jeez, Kirk, this "way back" stuff is fantastic!!!
Always appreciative of the live stuff! Well done, Tharek!!!
Great stripped down track, Colin! No imaginary rock band necessary!
Really like the energy of this one, Dave! Nice collection of tunes you have here... I'll be following in the future.
Hey, great rich full sound to this track, Tharek!
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!
Faved at 0:08... Enough said.

...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!
