These Good Times,
In this Old Life
Are Earned...

Fade away,

absolutely, totally, completely love this song Tharek. This is the treatment that this song needed, it sounds so frigging good this way, unbelievable brother. That Geir is some kind of guitar god.

Happy New Year, Tharek!
Hey, great track, this one (although I've come to expect good stuff from you on a regular basis). So glad to be the first to come by and hear, comment on, and fave this song!

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…
Alright Tharek, i made it man. All 48 tracks listened to and can i say this is some seriously good sh*t?!?!?!?!?! I tried to wait to comment until the end, but the songwriting, music, and production is pro. Loved every second of it....maybe you could do like a box set CD release !! :)

Great vocals and lyrics... made up on the spot, eh? The whole song gives me the feeling of traveling through a busy place unnoticed, slowly, inching along... great track.
Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, the opening melodies to this song found their way into my head... A song of hiking, love, and life... Won't you come with me on the trail?
It's Landry night again!
Yep... From the opening notes, I see this Album is gonna be a good one!
I love that Chord progression. It is one that Always sounds different depending who plays them. I got a song called "on the fence" that follows them... But not as majestic as this!!!!
Love the bridge to the chorus!
Lyrics suit the Awesome feel of the song!
I'll be walking this trail bro...Great Opener!!
Well, I realized while listening to so many other great rough cuts and demos (and how much I enjoyed listening to them), that it was about time I contributed to the process. Rather than posting only completed songs, I decided to put up the rough…
This is some Superb Guitar bro!
Sooooo Majestic!
I Love what you are doing here with the song writing snap-shots!
Reminds us all that music should be fun!
Peace bro!

One of my first tunes from back in the day - another remix w/ The Core - a little rough around the edges - still workin on findin our groove, but I think it's gonna work into somethin pretty sweet.
Wrote this song this weekend. Based on an idea from a good friend Sherri Silverwolf. The chorus comes from a saying she came up with. She suggested I write a song for it. So here it 'tis. I think it turned out pretty good. Demo style, just…
So, I was just funnin' around. Mostly from the ambient menus, plus, I added some Zippo slide guitar with lots of FX. Then I added the internet porn queen wav file.
Lyrics:
Aaah Oooooo!!!
Early demo for next project... which will set characters and themes from Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast novels in the present day. Final version of this will have 'lectric geetar and drums and bass and MOAR PIANO and a screechy overdriven dulci solo…
The first recorded version of this song, this little folk song was originally written fifteen or so years ago with just the four chord rhythm guitar and single vocal. The song became what it is today when I needed to write additional verses for…
Last Track of the Album...
Well...
This is the perfect closing tune......
As Impressed at the Guitar and Musical skills I am, This was not the highlight of the Album for me...
The Highlight was that I was Listening to a man of substance, imparting lessons, messages and Good times and life experience that he “May have†(Sorry...Title is cool) had through his songs!
That’s what it ever should be about bro!
I have only ever listened to around three albums in my life..
Was Busy as a Kid..... And I’m from the dance music generation.
One was by Cat Stevens .... One By Damien rice .... And this is the third...
I can Honestly say that this is on par and to be brutally honest, I prefer your works..
There is an air about your album that suggests you are the genuine article!
No Pretence.. .... Just Straight up Tunes That someone can take something from...
I wrote “Arise†after listening to one of your tracks...
I Thought “Why don’t I just Appreciate what I have!â€
I hope the messages in your tunes continue to influence me...
It Aint a bad way to be bro.
Thanks for a great Album!
Peace

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"
Wrote it over a decade ago, rewrote it five years ago, recorded it last year with the help of little sis Karen.
"I'm not supposed to be down south. Take me north."

Damn fine piece of song writing.

This is such an awesome song - you're such a natural singer song-writer.
Great voice, as usual. Happy New Year!
