Created all in one go with nothing to write on while I walked the Hilton Head beach in the rain last spring, this gentle little song more came through me than from me.
ROLLING ON BY
I had an old soul when I was a young man
Turning my phrases…
This pretty much sums it all up for me I guess.
STONE FROM THE OCEAN
Keith Landry: Vocals, Guitar
Liam Byrne: Drums
Brian Martin: Bass

Chasing the daylight
On the horizon
Down to the sea
The tilt of the…
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…
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.
YOU NEED…
Just a couple of different vocal choices so the vocal drop between the verses and the chorus isn't so drastic...
LAYING LOW THIS CHRISTMAS
Times are still tough this December
And money, it don't grow on trees
I've watched 'em all fall…

YOU NEED…
Sometimes there's an image you just can't get out of your head. I don't know this girl, but I'm sure she exists.
CALL COLLECT TO GOD
She’s been chasing rainbows with the wind in her hair
Spending years running to the end to find there…
I fear the day when it will be the last one.
ANOTHER GOODBYE
I don’t know where to start, but I guess I’ll try
I can speak from my heart, and I’ll try not to cry
I won’t see you enough, and we know time’ll fly
Then we’ll fall out of…
Love is worth a chance, don't you think?
THE ONE THING
Love isn’t always the way it should be
Man, it can pull you right down to your knees
Still it’s the only way you can get free
Take it from me
Love isn’t something that you should…
Yeah, I'm pretty much willing to do anything for you.
ALL OF ME
I always thought that only fools
Could fall for love at first sight
But when I caught you in the corner of my eye
I knew they might’ve had it right
You wouldn’t think a…

ROLLING ON BY
I had an old soul when I was a young man
Turning my phrases…
Yes, the ocean has it's own ideas.
THE MIND OF THE OCEAN
I never should’ve wrote that letter
And thrown it off into the sea
It’s never gonna get any better
And now it’s so easy to see
It never was meant to be
I never should’ve grabbed…
Be careful. She's pretty powerful.
SHE WALKS
She walks on the leaves without making a sound
She walks like she can’t hear the dragons all around
She walks and the sun stays a pace or two behind
She walks with your secrets in the back…
You'll tell me when you're ready.
DON’T WORRY ‘BOUT THAT RIGHT NOW
Where have you been is all they’ve been asking
Where are you going is what I’d like to know
Why are you running when nobody’s chasing?
What are you hiding? What can’t…
Welcome to my day on the river with Karen, folks.
INTO THE LIGHT (THIS LAZY RIVER)
Take me down to the river
Throw the jackets in the hull of the boat
Let the current deliver
To the bend at the bridge where it’s harder to float
What…
You'll tell me when you're ready.
DON’T WORRY ‘BOUT THAT RIGHT NOW

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

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.....

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…

Very nicely done... The perfect addition to Norm's outstanding use of cabinetry. Great job, Rick!

And whatever you do, don't let them teach the soul out of you!
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.
