Formerly montgomerucson. Creating an album for this song to nestle into was a primary motivation for this project.
Special thanks to Ben Montgomery for the trumpet tracks.

Away From Creation
W/M by OsCKilO
Pick me us up and set me down ,
In a box high off the ground.
It is what I’m used to out of life.
This is up and there is down.
In between we carry on.
Up and down the stairwells to the heights
Look upon…

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved…

She’s longing for comfort…

This one has a pretty silly lyric - it's about making up a place called “Wendouree Lane”, then later meeting someone who actually lives on Wendouree Lane and discovering that it actually does exist.

A last minute inclusion to my RPM 2012 album, after deciding to ditch a song and replace it with a better one. It was written in a hurry.

This one's a bit of a clunker in it's current form.
The first 2 verses are pretty cheesy, and it doesn't really have a chorus, just verses and a bridge.

Big cheesy pop song. Simple lyric, simple tune.

The tune is recycled from a song I wrote in the early 90s. All new lyrics.

this is our drummers(P.L.M) debut song with us and what a cool rocker it is. it was inspired by another musician that moved away and changed his name. i got to add a queens of the stone age/radio head type lead guitar part. what a treat!

I wanted to rap over this, but got stuck when writing lyrics - I have vague plans to make an album or EP consisting of old instrumentals with new rhymes over them, so maybe the rap version will be ready for that.
