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…
Cant sleep....
Thought I'd write a Tune....
Had to be fairly Quiet on this, so as not to wake the Baby...
Hope you Like it.

“It Allâ€
By Tharek Mokbul 2010
I can’t find the,
Place where I kept,
My Love…
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.
Had to do this one on the fly before an open mic night....
Sorry about the quality...
Came up with the song this morning ......
One take... GTR+MIC on one tracks (doubled up), Played live....
Not much time to record music or…
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.
I cant seem to play this unless I do it live....
That is something new to me...
Used to be the other way around....
This is called "Do or die"...
Do or Die
(words and music by Tharek Mokbul)
Do or die, that’s what Everyone here is…
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).
I cant seem to play this unless I do it live....
That is something new to me...
Used to be the other way around....

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.
For those I call my friends....
Where ever in the world you are...
My Son Opens up this tune with a sound check... :)

As I stand, and I survey,
All the places that I stayed.
Days of old and nights that Slip into the…
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.
Had to do this in Live....
Not Much time to Record Lately..
One track through the MBR onboard mic..
Hope you Like it!
Peace

Crown of Dust

If wealth was found in Shitty eyes
A thousand diamonds…
The Wife is a self confessed “Not a morning personâ€.....
I am a morning person (well... Wake up happy person).... and so is the boy....
This causes some friction sometimes.... LOL!!!!!!!
We went to a church fate today... Was…
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.
To the Wind baby!
Thanks for the vocal on this Mark bro!
You inspiered a band name....

This was Done on Logic.. Hope Y'all like it.

Love like a salt river washing away
Love's like sunshine evaporate
Love like floating candles blowing away
Watch out for the way you'll compensate
When I've seen all you have to give
When I'm still hungry
I need more than this
Tell me how…

Generally, I…
Did the guitar tracks first, followed by bass, then drums and vocals last. I wrote this song in a bookstore, after I came home and recorded it, I realized I made the song too short for all the lyrics.

every time you show yourself
i'll let your image float away
I'll let your image float away
you have no power
you have no power
you have no power over me
This is Soundtrack material in the best possible way.
It really casts images in the listeners mind...
I cant but help think the lyrics have a deeper spiritual significance.
Superb Mr Sweet
I was inspired by the music of a friend of mine, their band is called Aradhna and you might like to check them out. I've attempted to compose a song in the Hindi language and here it is.
The words are very simple
Union with Jesus
I desire union…
Faved Mr Sweet...
You do extremely well with the Hindi Bro!
It was one of me Pa's languages.
He used to play old cassets of music like this when I was a kid.
You really have nailed the vocal style.
Love the lyrics as well..
Written for a friend of mine.
be and i will be with you
you are a light house in this storm
you will overcome
you will overcome this storm
don't fear the wall for you will climb upon it.
you will see from higher ground
and the sun…
This has a real vintage feel to it...
The song is superb and i love the phrasing on both the guitar and Vocal.
Such a sublime song Mr Sweet..
Peace

4 stereo guitar tracks played out one at a time.
Another late night - early morning recording.
I like to keep a positive attitude about the things that haunt me, but sometimes dreams change course unexpectedly, and the worms creep in.
Enjoying a few tracks on this site with Indian flavor lately. My brothers legs were so red from slapping them to get the perc sounds in this track, I had to laugh, That alone was worth doing the song ;)
Enjoy # 92

Hot Damn!!!!
This is a Superb Production!!
The Skill it must have taken to do the Messages in Layers must be immense!!!
I'm Seriously inspired by this track but won't dare attempt anything Like it!
Soo good!
Many thanks to Kirk Lynch, a real gentleman and a pleasure to jam with.
His tracks are the heart of this tune.

Thanks to Sister Savage for helping us debut our new project. As busy as she is, Sister managed a bit of time and some great Jovian vox for us.
This piece or art is unique, sublime, and psychedelic.

Amazing!!!!!
I think Drumming is one of the hardest things to do Musically!
You are freaking Awesome!!!!
Faved Bro!
Did I say Awesome!!!!?!?!
AWESOME!!
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…
Wow...
This has got the Awesome Factor big time!
I let my kid do some Synth for one of my tracks the other day... There is nothing in the world greater than Being able to share time like this with them!
I think is is amazing that this is a poem that you heard as a Child as well, and are now recording with your own children..
Warms The Heart Bro!
A Wonderful and Well Performed track!
It's really Spooky as well! Bonus!! :)
Well Done All!!

Comments on Tharek Ali Mokbul's stuff
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.
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.

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

One Mo' Time!!!
Bravo Fellas!! Chilly cool!
Damn fine songwriting! You are a wizard with the words.
A bit of Youssou n'dour, and this would be 100 percent perfect.
Glad you liked the songs. ;)
You can blow out a candle, but you can't blow out a fire. Outstanding cover T. I love Peter Gabriel.
I've listened to this one quite a bit, bro. I love what you've done here, and this is another fine example of your singer/sonwriter excellence!! Sweet!!
spectacular performance. I love the percussion, love the lyrics and your guitar sits in there so sweetly.
Really creative, and beautiful. This is one of the more impressive tracks I have seen so far on this site. Keep up the great work, I'll be listening.

How did I miss this great track. Top job mate very cool.
