These Good Times,
In this Old Life
Are Earned...
Not Learned...
I’ve seen old faces,
Fade away,
In my mind…

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.
This is our little bundle of joy now grown up to be 10 years old. She took up the flute this year at school and this is her first effort in front of my microphone.
She decided on the flute after watching some vids of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull…
On youtube there's a short video clip of guitarist Shawn Lane (R.I.P) executing an extremely difficult chord voicing that requires extensive finger stretching, which Shawn calls "the hardest chord in the world." I altered the chord a little bit…

Chords....
Easy... But hard at the same time....
We can make them hard out of choice....
But they should be easy....
Just a mode of expression...
This track is superb!
You make hard sound effortless!
And oh man.... These shreds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F*cking Hell!!!!
AWESOME!!!!!
F*CKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On Par with the best I have Heard!!!
Wow!!!!
Freaking Wow!!!!!!!!
Peace

P.s
Glad I heard this!
A little scratch track from a few months ago. A song about the trials and tribulations of being 11 years old. Watching Six Million Dollar Man, dodging bullies and pretending our bicycles were Harleys.
I was at a friends house and saw a little…
This is a first run at MIDI drumming. I have my kit setup to a new Alesis Trigger I/O box. It turns my drum kit in to a USB MIDI drum kit. Pretty cool toy.
Most of the kits I have in the software are dry to record. Obviously, the sound will…
Riding that storm bro...
Way out to sea....On a surf board... But in ultimate control..
My favourite so far...
I know you said you were trying to imitate, but this is distinctly a Bourne composition.
No nonsense... All The bollocks Taken out... Pure condensed Genius that takes the listener on an amazing journey through a piece.
There are points where you reach the limit of where the music should be able to take you, and then surpasses it... Riding the crest of the insanity till it exhausts it’s self.
The music then has the good grace to bring the listener “back down” gently; but never stops demanding respect...
As Per my earlier comment..... “Way out to sea....On a surf board... But in ultimate control..”
F*cking Awesome!
First of all I love you all!
You are so kind and musically perceptive about my pieces it really makes the hard labour worth it!
The comment about buildings stripped away is spot on!
Also here are the other sonatas. More personal than orchestral…
I Freaking Love the part that starts at 5 minutes!!!!!!!
It puts an image in my mind of the captain on a ship writing a letter on in his quarters..
The sea is choppy, and his stuff is sliding about everywhere... but he is used to it, so it doesn’t distract from writing his letter. I see him stretching out arms to catch objects falling of shelves, whilst still engrossed in what he is scribing...
The subject of his correspondence must be a happy one....
Will listen again later... A two year old is beating me up at the moment...
Bass and Backing Vox from Launched (Mark)
Lead from Geir...
Hope You Like it!

Moving in Cans in the Underground
You’ll never know
You’ll Never Know, Never Know…
Faith is like food/It's necessary/Not when it's shoved down your throat/They look just like sheep herds/Following feeding and growing/Trying to fit in is IRRITATING
Traditional Peruvian waltz by Cesar Miro.
Letra original
Todos vuelven a la tierra en que nacieron,
al embrujo incomparable de su sol,
todos vuelven al rincón donde vivieron,
donde acaso floreció más de un amor.
Bajo el árbol solitario…
Haunting.....
Very much so.....
Almost uncomfortable because of the very poor sound quality.....
But the track draws you in to the world this was recorded in...
A Spooky nostalgia comes over me when I listen to this...

Stunningly beautiful...
I wish I listened to these in order now....
You write a real journey bro!
A storey I want to hear!
The way you condense each section into easily digestible parts is a fine skill!
Every change comes at just the right point to my ears....
Love it!
For String Orchestra. First performed in Grassington in North Yorkshire, a place of outstanding natural beauty.
This version is computer generated I'm sorry but it sounds ok!
Thanks
