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.
The Showers of December
Lying flat on my back

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.
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
Damn fine collab. Killer mix, amazing song, and really killer vox.

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!

Love the guitar groove and your vocal together, great song
Oh yes, thanks for the heads up, I forgot this one.It disappeared when I took my stuff down a few months back. I keep finding little gems to get back.
Beautiful. Lovely vox and guitar.
I remember the rough version. This came out great Keith!
Those are really fine lyrics Keith to a very pretty song.
Oh yesss... Love it. I can see there's lots of stuff I've got to listen to on here.

...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!

Wow... This is sick.

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