Another song from the archive... Written about a friend who somehow seemed to come out of her general sad manner... Thoughts go back to a lunar eclipse when the girl I was standing next to to watch it (way back in college) disappeared from sight…
The first recorded version of this song, this little folk song was originally written fifteen or so years ago with just the four chord rhythm guitar and single vocal. The song became what it is today when I needed to write additional verses for…
Another oldie but goodie (again, apologies for the few seconds of silence it takes to get to the intro). This song is the first that I really tried to record properly, written around Christmastime four or five years ago with my seventh grade…
After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific.

After listening to Brian's beautiful guitar piece "Mellow," Brian was kind enough to allow me to sing along...
Never saw you coming
Down my lonely road
I never saw you coming
Can't be sure you'll never go
I know you'll be leaving
But I keep believing…

this is very nice,, listening to you,, i am struck by the thought that id love to hear this live,, it's the sort of piece that no matter how good the recording is it must pale compared to a live hearing,,, who ever gets to hear you practice and such is very lucky

"You gotta put your pencil to the paper. Don't bother with the intricate chords. Hell it doesn't matter if the damned thing doesn't rhyme. Write it down. Run it through. Make some noise." These were actually the first words I wrote when…
All right, so one of those silly songs needed to find its way onto the album. In an effort to teach the students on my middle school team about rhythm in poetry, I wrote this little bit of foolishness about a fictional character (so yes, you…
Just updating all the songs from "Keeping Constant Motion" with versions that have the vocals a bit more up front... Just had to favorite this one. Of all the songs I've ever written, this one and "Amy Pond" are the most requested... Just goes to show that silliness in songwriting often speaks to people more than seriousness.

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…

Since Norm found himself in an acoustically great room, full of unfinished cabinets I couldn't help but add some acoustic guitar, crank it up and hope you like it Norm!
Ah, yes, this is EXCELLENT... I listened to this (and faved it) a while back. Every bit as majestic (and very folk-Zeppelin in all the best ways imaginable)... Just a terrific track, my friend.
I did this live performance at the Shore 104.3 radio station yesterday (Aug.25'10) directly after singing this song in the vancouver PNE talent contest and winning first prize! hope you like it!
Check out the video of the PNE performance!
Hey, man... congrats on this! I may not be able to write the greatest songs, but I sure as hell know when I hear one! I knew this little song of yours was the real thing, and I'm glad the rest of the world is finally catching up! Kick some ass at Berkley... And whatever you do, don't let them teach the soul out of you!
I used to blast this song so loudly in my little room - when that chorus hits, and that huge tidal wave of guitars, it is just breathtaking. And there is nothing I can say about the voice and aura of Armando Louder that hasn't already been said.
Great sound! Sadly, while I can't understand the lyrics, I can appreciate the melody, sincerity of the vocals, and power of this beautiful song. Well done, my friend.
Came up with this Before bed last night.
Had to record it this morning so I wouldn't forget the Sound of it...
Live recording
I'll do a better version when I have more time...
Well.... Off to work for me...
This is…
A song inspired by a picture of a Dancer...
Hope you Guys like it!
Soooo Much great music on the site!!! Can't wait till the weekend, so I can listen to it! You guys are Freaking Awesome!
Thanks for having me...
Peace

Half a Glass of Gasoline
Mixed with Some Kerosene
Stirred in with Coffee
Laced with amphetamine
All That it Takes in A Day
To get by…

Know
Maybe it’s looking alright,
But we know........
Maybe it’s looking alright,
But we know........
We don’t Want War....
We don’t Want War.....
In this land where children…
In dedication to those who lost their lives in the 9/11 and 7/7 attacks.....
Peace

Lyrics
Say my name Say my name
Say it softly but say…
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…
Ah... So good right from the start, but I've come to expect that from Osckilo's acoustic arrangements. Instant fave. Man, I could just listen to you playing acoustic guitar all day. Tomorrow I start the download fest of Osckilo's greatest hits for use on road trips.
Faved at 0:10... Wow. This style of layered guitar arrangement is just incredible! I'd love to know in what order you recorded them... It's so cleanly and perfectly played... I feel like I walked in on a great live gig.
A Song About Trying....
-Lyrics-
Maybe we can find a place where we,
can be truly free my love.
And we’ll find this place alone.
Where our hearts are guided.
The road seems Never ending.
Souls Lost in the dark.
Your light becomes…
I'll stop saying it at some point, but I really am amazed and envious of your understanding of your instrument and your voice. Just timeless music. Incredible.

Sleep
----------
-Lyrics-
I’m in this ancient place of peace...
With a Lullaby in me.....
But I cannot seem to sleep....
Just a Pill to help me go to sleep ........
This Lullaby in me..... I cant hear......
The sirens…
Man, so the words just pour out of you as you play, because that's what it sounds like... The words themselves are so perfectly formed to work with the music. I am truly envious of this marriage of vocal/instrument arrangement.
A song about Rising to new challenges...
Even though you Might not want to really....
Geir Alfsen on Vocals Lyrics and Guitar..
Me on the rest...
Hope you Like it...
Excellent arrangement... You have a great musical ear! Having messed around with Garageband for hours to get quality arrangements, I can appreciate the effort involved in producing such a full sound... and those searing vocals... Wow.
When I wrote this song.... It was about staying true to your Ideals...
In fact... It is about a person that put me in a very difficult situation....
One that effected my life for a while... Just for doing the right thing...
I think…
Played and Sung at the same Time.....
Recorded On One Track....
Words made up on the spot....
Was in Two Minds as to if I should Post it....
I aint Preaching in this.....
It is Just something which makes me, "me" that I want to…
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
thank you so much Keith for your awsem comment the other day! Inge
Great songwriting again...and Ashley's beautiful voice is a wonderful addition.
Beautiful song all the way around.
Great song and collab. All but one of my dogs are rescue dogs, good man! I really dig your voice, Keith.
I finally have some time to do some Alonetone listening. Glad I didn't miss this one.
Yes, I agree with the others. Very nice!
yes, great lyrics. I agree with Richard, this would have a good feel as a live performance.
What a great collaboration! Just a beautiful song.
nice sweet song Keith!
Gorgeous song Keith!
Awesome back story - you cannot hide your romantic side, and I'm glad you don't try. :-) Lovely song, Keith. Very sweet.
What an interesting story, I wonder if the lady in question would recognise herself now. And a great song too.
this is very nice,, listening to you,, i am struck by the thought that id love to hear this live,, it's the sort of piece that no matter how good the recording is it must pale compared to a live hearing,,, who ever gets to hear you practice and such is very lucky
Thanks for the kind words!
One, two, three, four, yeah .... I love it when you guys do that! Oh yes, this is a great track. Kavin's spot on too!
All right... So I closed the album with the fun songs (note to self... next time START the album with the fun songs).
Just updating all the songs from "Keeping Constant Motion" with versions that have the vocals a bit more up front... Just had to favorite this one. Of all the songs I've ever written, this one and "Amy Pond" are the most requested... Just goes to show that silliness in songwriting often speaks to people more than seriousness.
You and Kavin nail this one! Thanks for the comments!
I like this song a lot. Love the concept, your vocals, etc etc. And I'm green with envy that I didn't think of it! Well done. ER
How can I not fave a song about pick-up trucks, kids climbing on the dog, and leaving Memphis. And with slide guitar to boot.
Comments made by Keith Landry
Very nicely done... The perfect addition to Norm's outstanding use of cabinetry. Great job, Rick!
Ah, yes, this is EXCELLENT... I listened to this (and faved it) a while back. Every bit as majestic (and very folk-Zeppelin in all the best ways imaginable)... Just a terrific track, my friend.

Fave'd at the ten-second mark. Again, great sound, terrific opening sea birds into a full, powerful, beautiful sound... Again, well done!
Great sound! Sadly, while I can't understand the lyrics, I can appreciate the melody, sincerity of the vocals, and power of this beautiful song. Well done, my friend.
Great song, Tharek! I agree with Bethan and Tess... Definitely one you wouldn't want to forget. Great guitarwork, great vocal... Just beautiful.
Holy crap, great opening guitar! Damn, just great stuff, T! Thanks for sharing this great music!
Man, I can tell the time, energy, love, and pain you put into this album... A truly a magnificent compilation of music.
Great track... I love the accent that comes through on this one. Man does this one ring true, my kind of folk music, my friend.
Great haunting sound to this one, my friend. Osckilo night was definitely a good idea!
Great track... Fantastic live performance! Wow... just wow.
So nice to listen to this one again... One of the good ones that I didn't miss a while back!

Oh wow... This is amazing! Man, you are some kind of musician! Just beautiful style... How did I ever miss this one?
Excellent arrangement... You have a great musical ear! Having messed around with Garageband for hours to get quality arrangements, I can appreciate the effort involved in producing such a full sound... and those searing vocals... Wow.
Very heavy stuff, man. What a departure from the rest of this playlist. Quite ass-kickin',
Faved at 0:15. Not to worry, my friend, this is not "preachy" at all... Just a genuine song representing a part of who you are.
