I almost forgot I had this one lying around. Written for (RPM musician and composer extraordinaire) Michelangelo's January challenge, I had to use two random words out of the dictionary... So this little bit of foolishness (using industry and…
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."
I love it when someone writes about the real in life. This is it. The kind of song that carries through life's changes. Music and the voice married perfectly.
The sweet little girl I can't seem to get
Out of the back of my mind
Isn't quite sure what she's looking for yet
And I worry about what she'll find
Working so hard looking out for herself
I know there are times all alone
She's always had…

And you stay filled with life."
This made me cry. At breakfast time. You made me cry whilst making breakfast for everyone. They have soggy chocolate toast and cheerios now. And my coffee is salty. Beautiful, touching song. I wish I'd written this for my little daughters.
Another old song that got a little country twang when it became obvious that the horn section wouldn't be showing up on my doorstep any time soon.
"You fools don't know what's going on inside her head"
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…
"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…
My wife woke up one morning and said "I had a dream about (someone we'd just lost) the other night." When I asked her if she was okay, she replied, "Yeah, it was good to see her again."
Well, it's an honour to be the first to listen to this incredible song. Love the hopeful sentiments about our mercurial life force. And your delivery is, as ever, delicious!
This year will be my fifth year coaching one of my daughters in tee ball, and although I played ball competitively into my thirties, coaching the kids is easily the most fun I've ever had on the diamond.
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…

A song about writing songs that isn't really about song-writing, and knows it is being written.
Written and sung by Tangmo. Arranged and performed by Phil Close. Additional guitars by Karl Cutruff.
Hey everybody, come out in the streets now
Hey everybody, let's have a good time
Bring along your cooler, there's good food to eat now…
Written and performed by Tangmo and Jay Jackson. If my voice sounds a little sickly, it's because it was. I went into the hospital with life-threatening heart and respiratory problems days after laying vocals for this song. It remains a 'spiritual…
Black Cat
Words and Music by Tharek Mokbul ( OsCKilO )
My heart will miss a beat
Each time
I see your pain
I know this is the end
But I
Will fight this tide
The battle is complete
Both sides
Have won this time
I will remember you
So proud…
We Didn't Get Time to do this in Norway.
Geir put down great the Guitars.
I took the Vox and Lyrics...
This is called "Your Heart"
-Your Heart-
Your shout is silent now
It feels I’m missing out
This void is lasting evermore…
This song described my co-workers at one company during a temporary assignment. I won't mention the company for fear of being sued, but you get the idea what they were like.

This is my first musical expedition into the midi keyboard. Having never played the piano its a fun learning experience. Thanks to Norm for lending me Stinkbug!
Very cool. So this is what music sounds like when you're just learning something new, Rick. I can't wait to hear when you really know what you're doing!
Steve and I on a Sunday afternoon jam. haven't changed it a lick. Minimally processed it. I liked the openess of it, so I left it alone. Went to Crater Lake, and found this songs home. Played it to the stars the moon and the waters, as the moon…
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Great work! Awesome warm-up for RPM!

Absolutely loved this one, made me fall in love with my own true love all over again
great treatment of a nice, tender song.
Beautiful song! Love the sparse arrangement
I love it when someone writes about the real in life. This is it. The kind of song that carries through life's changes. Music and the voice married perfectly.
This is such a wonderfully uplifting spring-morning playlist. We've all enjoyed your beautiful sounds this morning.
This made me cry. At breakfast time. You made me cry whilst making breakfast for everyone. They have soggy chocolate toast and cheerios now. And my coffee is salty. Beautiful, touching song. I wish I'd written this for my little daughters.

Very classy.
I want to be 5 years old again, nice job!

This one had me at 15 seconds or so... How have I not run into your music before today?!?! Every track has its own great sound.
Thanks, Bee, for bringing FTB to the front page! This is great stuff... I may need to have a FTB listening night later this week!
Excellent track! Great songwriting!
Hey Tharek, I'm at KeithLandryAcoustic@gmail.com I'd love to hear anything you have in mind! Keith
...And just back to listen to this perfect little song.
Absurdly good. These Irish reels of yours are just outstanding!
Very nicely arranged, ER! Cool track, sir! Oh yes, just hit the chorus. Been listening to dozens of your tracks, and this may be the best one yet.
"The morality field lies fallow"... Great line! "Just enough to feed me and my cat"... This is a very well crafted commentary on the working world.
This is a great track, ER! Definitely one of your best.
Wow... Just outstanding.
So nice. You get a great sound out of those six strings, sir.
Very cool. So this is what music sounds like when you're just learning something new, Rick. I can't wait to hear when you really know what you're doing!
Just outstanding. I'm always in awe of the musical talent here on Alonetone, and this is right at the top.
