Hideaway - original demo

[mishrathium]

Thank you for your friendship, sharing your songs, being a favorite inspiration and the talks we have shared about music and life. Thank you my friend. This song touched me - as so many of your songs do - in places I find difficult to express. And I just love that about you and your musical craftsmanship. Stay blessed my friend ~Raz

[DrBirendraJha]

Wonderful original!

Very well done!

Great job!

[chuxtrux]

the song is beautifuuly written and performed. i very much like hearing that vocal high note here and there. this one is special, chuck.

[Ajohn13]

Justin, I have commented on this song previously, its just great.... Best Wishes, John

[AcousticPhases]

I cant beleive that I have not stopped by to listen to this original before.

I really liked the opening gentleness of the picking. Beautiful family Justin, I know you are very proud.

Its was a wonderful song and filled with wonderful emotion.

A slow peice indeed and this one screams of cello to really bring out that emotion this peice could achieve. Like you I dont have the means to add all of those instruaments on a whim.

I personally like the acoustic raw stand alone songs.

[RonIrelandmusic]

The song and the photographs are beautiful. Just beautiful.

[leobluesy]

This is veryyyyyyyy nice. Gets inside very fast...great job.

[anonplace]

[nessyvt]

Beautiful song and the accompanying video is a perfect match. I have the reverse block..the words come...getting music I'm happy with is more challenging..but it's always worth it in the end! Those high notes are wonderful. Glad to see your family had an enjoyable vacation!

[varesy]

[madie87400]

bravo ppour cette si belle realisation video

[franpanama]

very good!

[dickidoo123]

Beautiful. Great song and great delivery. The simple production (comparatively) really suits this one. Your voice is,as always, outstanding.

[draughnd]

This is really nice! Great post!

[archtopbrownie]

You deliver this kind of song so well. I could never hit those high notes. Nice nuance all along the way.

[Oswlek]

@archtopbrownie Thanks a lot. I can't really hit them either without cheating and using falsetto. ;-)

[MrRiblet]

well you obviously unblocked the writer's cramp!!!! Very nicely done all the way around....rib

[shroomage34]

hey man! sorry it's taken me awhile to get around to listening to this one. I just got married, and i have been super busy as you can imagine haha. Your production is getting really good! I'm really impressed with your vocals on this song. Really good job, Justin.

[Oswlek]

@shroomage34 No worries, Josh. Thanks for taking a breaking out of your honeymoon period to stop by. Oh, and congratulations!

[bigbrotherblues]

Justin, Very well done. Excellent guitar and vocal working together in this one. Thank you for sharing - keep on writing - sounds great. 3B

[nnamdi3]

beautiful song

[anatnavarro]

Such a beautiful song voice and given in such a soft loving kind of way. 

[Mendips251]

This is superb, Justin. Straight into my favourites.

Take care

BoB

[kumhuimusicgirl]

What a beautiful song!! This song makes me feel serene and calm and yet with a little touch of melancholy, which I love. Your voice and guitar playing are so very soothing to me. A marvelous video with endearing pictures of beautiful children!!

Thank you for the wonderful experience. ~~Kumhui

[Oswlek]

@kumhuimusicgirl You are too kind! I really appreciate all the support, Kumhui, from the comments to the subscription. I apologize to be tardy in expressing my gratitude, but I assure you that it in no way reflects the depth of it.

Thank you.

[tomvband]

And furthermore,....if you fuck up,....I'll tell you. Hahahahahahah......

[Ajohn13]

Justin, this is just a breath taking song. Just beautiful. Is the Cape May you make reference to in NJ???? Its beautiful there. I am a Jersey guy so I think maybe I might be reading into it. Ha. Man, you are ultra talented.

[Oswlek]

@Ajohn13 You are too kind, John. No, you are not reading into things, I was refering to the beaches of New Jersey. Heavy hitters like Bruce, Paul SImon and Jon Bon Jovi shouldn't be the only ones who get to make Garden State references, right? ;-)

[Ajohn13]

@Oswlek - This is true, New Jersey is for everyone. I love the jersey shore. I even go down there in the winter. Great song. my friend.

[thefellasmusic]

This is an exquisite composition, Justin. The simplicity of the arrangement punctuates the lyrics. I appreciate the difficulty of finding the right words to express your feelings in song at times, but you have done it well, my friend. The slideshow was perfect :)

[Oswlek]

@thefellasmusic Thank you very much for the kind words. The song was a tough nut to crack and it means a lot to me that you think it all come together.

[FaeVorite]

Absolutely beautiful Justin. I am so proud of you!! Great song and video my friend.

[Oswlek]

@FaeVorite Thanks, Fay. Glad to see you stop by!

[MissChocoLoco]

Justin! i haven't listen to ur songs for quite a while now and i totally miss it! this song is just so frigging lovely and the pics are awesome! you are really talented.

[basicband]

Justin....always a pleasure to get your creations. Lovely...just lovely...I was having a low today. Thanks for the high...

[85Highwaystar]

Love your voice..Awesome video too..Adam

[MartinRaetzJr]

Such a nice song I have heard very seldom in my life Justin. Thank you for sharing this beautiful photos. Best wishes for you and your family. Martin

[peneraserlove]

Sounds really pretty and relaxing. =]

[zarinhoabbas]

I like others here, more a

As those in need and very happy

Well, I needed a new song

From love, and applaud him for that ...

[bios36]

Seems like you and I have a very similar taste for composition. Your "Breakthrough" minute 1:16 and 2:27 is a pure musical masterpiece and I congratulate you for that. Your musical ability is always right on target Bud, yeah, straight as hell

Your music will always be my Friend, Yeah, No doubt

Rick

[Oswlek]

Very nice Justin, I just became a dad and now I understand this song's feeling much better.

[Oswlek]

@RitchPina Congrats, Ricardo. Boy or girl?

I can still remember holding my daughter for the first time. Just a simply awe inspiring moment.

[michaelamiles]

Nice one :)

[TylerNicholsMusic]

Beautiful song! :)

[navim49]

Beautiful. What a voice. Your song is really touching. It's a perfect composition filled with great feelings of love and care, loyalty and friendship. Really special. Absolutely gorgeous Justin.

[Oswlek]

@navim49 Thank you kindly, Navim.  I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it.

[Thalysiakeuh]

just wonderful

[tyetygon]

great voice and great song!!

[PatrickGMoran]

Very beautiful melody and lyrics Justin....I know that someday when your children are older they will surely appreciate the love you put into the making of this song. Excellent my friend. I also like it standing by itself. Sounds pure and real...

[rhopen]

Really superb Justin. It's easily one of your very best songs. -Ron

[tinjoe1100]

nice

[deeryker]

yeah tidy it up,,,you have a few areas bordering on off key not working type of thing,,,get back to it

[Oswlek]

@deeryker I live in off-key. ;-)

I hear you, but I've decided to move on. It gets the point across and I've got a backlog of stuff written that needs recording, let alone the stuff still pouring out. Thanks for stopping by and giving me the honest feedback. ;-)

[Momspeak]

Sensitive, loving, & magical! You have an amazing talent of putting together the song, words, & pictures to make a story or statement! This one made my innerds smile! And then of course, those are my grandchildren!

[harrrbo]

Justin ,I'm sitting here in Dublin ,Ireland on a lovely Saturday afternoon and I'm beaming watching this(and listening of course!!) and I love it ,your kids will be so proud when they grow older and reminisce .....that is what music is all about...even though it may have been intended as a love song ,once it is on the net the song flies the nest and means different things to different people....which becomes the catalyst to greater things at times...but you know this already

[Oswlek]

@harrrbo Always enjoy seeing you stop by Kevin. Haven't seen an upload from you in a while, are you still writing?

[beachfrontal]

Realo nice demo ,well done I liked and it shows as LIKE 58 David.

[rockingphil58]

Hi Justin beautiful song my friend .

[skeletone111]

This is such a beautiful song and video my friend:) ***** 

[sistermoonshine13]

This is LOVELY Justin:)))

[tomvband]

Justin, you have been working hard man. This is beautiful. So well done. You have really bumped it all up a notch in the last six months. Everything about this one is right on, as it should, be, and yet there are those suprising moments. Perfect. Seriously.

[Oswlek]

@tomvband Thanks Tom. You are someone I trust implicitly when it comes to this stuff, so comments (especially positive ones!) mean a great deal to me.

[tomvband]

@Oswlek Justin,...no shit,.....you have improved more than I could have hoped to improve. This tune is so full of feeliong and talent that I sit here listening in awe. I got nothing to gain from this. Personally, I appreciate legitimate criticism, good or bad. I figure you do as well. Ain't no sense lyingl; You are one brother. I'm always impressed by your work,. True enough. I'm a fun player, you're an artist. Believe it.

[suuzzee5]

Beautifully done, Justin. You have such a wonderful voice and I love the melody, also the lyrics.

[onelastbreath7777777]

beautiful song and love the flowing guitar to :)

[musicfamily]

A well written song sang with great emotions. The video really let the viewers see what a beautiful family you have.

[othercousin]

Very nice! I'm at a loss for words..I'll have to get back to this for more listens. You sure write some good music my friend!

bri

[Oswlek]

@othercousin Thanks for giving it a listen, Bri.  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[muzikizlife10]

Wow. You are a tremendous songwriter. I was happy to see your email that you had a new song. Beautiful guitar. The vocal melody is fantastic. I especially love the way you sing this part: "Let me be your hideaway, I won't ask for any more, I won't ask for any more." Great work, as usual. :)

[Oswlek]

@muzikizlife10 You are too kind, Carol. Comments like this make all the effort worthwhile. ;-)

[Robbyd91]

thanks for sharing how the song emerged ....like it great vocal range all tucked up in a sublime melody nice job

[Oswlek]

@Robbyd91 Not a problem at all. I've noticed that most like to just let the song speak for itself, but I prefer to offer some background. I'm glad doing so enhanced the experience for you, Robby.

[SargeEmpath]

amazing and as honest as it gets

[msenin]

Touching! Well done.

[CalJennings]

This could be a song about relationships.

[Oswlek]

@CalJennings That was the intent when I wrote it. The video takes it in a different direction of parenthood, but I think it works that way too. Thanks for stopping by, Cal.

[BradfordandLasso]

A beautiful song Justin. Sensitive and touching. Your voice is exceptional on this one too. It's organic.

I live in Ocean County, NJ. Glad you had a good time here.

[Oswlek]

@BradfordandLasso Thanks for stopping by, Paul. I wish I had known, I certainly had time to look you up. We might be in the area again next year so send me a pm if you are interested.

[IMTheMagicRat]

[Oswlek]

Hi Justin, this was so good to hear this morning. It's a beautiful song and one that reflects not only your current moments with your loved ones, but I'm sure memories from the past helped stir up the lyrics in this as well. Your guitar sounded really nice in this and blended nicely with your voice. Great to hear you again and glad to know you had a good vacation with family. Mark

[KristinSpradling]

Very nice song, Justin :-) Wonderful pictures also.

[amccann7]

Beautiful song Justin. How precious your pictures and love for your family.

@Oswlek ..i dunno...i am usually half assed drunk

[AcousticPhases]

Justin, what can I say. such a heartfelt song, sung with all the love you have for your family all mustered up into these few moments, caring and sharing of your inner most thoughts with us housed in your rich lyrical content. Love the melody and the gentle acoustic picking. The way you sang and the third verse of your chorus and the notes obtained with Hideaway was smooth and awesome.

Lovely song Justin. 6 thumbs up.

[drnorris56]

very very nice

Hey there Justin! This was very beautiful! Really like it! -Kimmo
