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.

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.

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.

OMG! This is Superb!!! Faved!

The Sea Sounds like this in my head as well.. It is Something about those chords that Just Let you Drift away with the Music when you Play them.... I used a similar arrangement in one of my tunes... Pressed record and in the Blink of an Eye, 4 minutes had passed... Gritts is right..... Such a Meditative sound! Sublime Playing Bro! Faved!

That is some Amazing Playing! Awesome!

You have a gift for finding the right level of dissonance to Keep the shape of a song, but create a completly different aura about it. A Thought full Arrangement. Awesome Bro!
