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

Fade away,

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.
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…

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

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!

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.

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!
