Lovely job . Well done. You make it sound as though I know what I'm doing. : )

Great tune.

Cool.

Nice work.

Very cool! Sounds masterful! (I must look in to Garageband!)

very nice,, im not sure what you mean by gband experiments,, is this all written and done on pc? however it's done it sounds pretty good,, and yes the piano at 1:30 ish is very cool

Very nice - Perfect vox/acoustic balance. I really like how your guitar is recorded.

For drag and drop mate this is very cool.

Nice one mate dig it.

Sounds good mate, does Garageband work in windows

Nice one mate.

Nice one mate. Very cool dig it.

I apologize in advance for the slight run into "cheesy-ness" at around 0:40... A bit "Romeo's Tune-ish" there for a minute, but all in good fun.

Just some more drop and drag... Personally, I'm addicted to the little "Thomas Crown-ish" piano runs at around 1:30.

It does love you Sister Savage...it's just shy. :)

Can't get this to play. It obviously doesn't love me!

Ah, so let me see, you're playing while the kids are working? Sweet! Cool composition!

Well done , nice mix.

nice.

Messing with pitch adjustment in Garageband (and getting a bit carried away)... I use this primarily as a 90-second countdown for competitions in my 7th grade math class (kind of a Jeopardy theme song).

Oh wow, this is good right from the start. I had already faved this one a while back. Just a great love song from the amazing perspective of recall. INCREDIBLE guitarwork. What is your music background, Tharek? This is as good as it gets.

Beautiful opening picking, Tharek! What a genuine voice... Talk about honest music. Wow. I have a feeling that your music will soon begin to influence mine in some pretty profound ways.

How do you do your recording? Do you have separate mics for the vocals and guitar? I'd love to know since it sounds so good (I'm always looking for good ideas in an effort to make my music sound better).

Just a fantastic use of "ours is not to reason why." Great guitarwork and chord progression as always... If you don't come away from this song thinking hard, then there must be something wrong with you.

Just fantastic. So many powerful verses and every one is so meaningful and necessary. Whereas I find it hard to fill out "that dreaded third verse," it seems to me that meaningful words just pour out of Tharek effortlessly as he plays. I wish there were a way to "double favorite" a song when it's this good.

Wow. Just terrific guitarwork counterpointed by lower edgy vocals... What a sound! For me, this is a course in guitar 101... Great track.

All right, well I'm starting my OsCKilO music experience listenting to the playlist "Arise (Live and Acoustic)"... Mostly becuase I already love the title track. This is just a magnificent piece of songwriting. The straightforward simple arrangement and up-front vocals are just terrific. I am such a fan of the live recording, and this is one of the best.

Soooooooooo good. Just brilliant lyrics, incredible delivery. So real. I am in awe. Wow.

What a great song... Beautiful delicate arrangement. And yes, I see what you mean about the similarity in the feeling of our songs! Fantastic use of multiple vocals! I could never pull it off as you have! You are one hell of a songwriter... I am in awe when I listen to the freeness of your music and the heart that is poured into them.

Oh my, this is incredible.

Wow. Amazing and powerful. Just magnificently performed and so undeniably real. Beautiful simple arrangement. Well done, Braeden.

Wow... Great song, great feeling. What a voice and powerful delivery. I hope to hear more music from you, Rachel!

As always, Gumbo, just terrific musicianship! Holy friggin' Woody Guthrie reincarnated!

Great stuff... Very haunting sound, I can imagine the artistic movie scenes that this could play magnificently behind.

One of the best songs I've ever heard. Period.

Man, this stuff is so Jud Caswell-esque... just good in every way. Great talent!

Your "studio floor" as you call it must be one nice-sounding place. I hope you come back to this to flush it out further... It would be so easy to sing to this (and I hope you do at some point).

Again, just great from the start... Fave'd at the 12-second mark.

Yup, another great track right from the start.

Wow right from the start on this one... So smooth and delicate and poignant. Instant favorite.
