You may remember the Billy J Kramer & the Dakotas version of this song, written by Lennon/McCartney but, as far as I know, never recorded by the Beatles. Wilfred N & the Grown Men put "From A Window" on our debut album, 'Riding Double', in 1984. That's my buddy, Jamie Philp, playing that sparkling guitar on our version. And Brenda Philp is on b/g vocals. Check out the cool tick-tock tick-tock part in the middle section of this song . . . it's my favorite thing about our take on this terrific tune. I really like our version and I hope you do, too. 

From A Window

Out there in the garden dark shadows aware
Mourning guild mischief where fate lies left bare
Out there in the garden don’t look away

You could be the prey

Out There In The Garden

Sometimes you need a song to comfort you and  lift you up a bit. This is one of  THOSE songs.

Just Because

these 3 songs are the last recordings of 'The Hurryman' as a band. recorded at Mdivi studio's. Woody Folmer - Bass, Paul Bruin - Drums, Paul Freid - backing vocals & guitars, Rob van der Plas Lead vocals & guitars.

Back On A Cloud

This album is a follow-up album to my "What's Gonna Become of Us" by Wilfred Kozub project that I did in 2015. That one was an instrumental album, and it remains one of my very favourite works that I created. It is the only album of mine that I listen to regularly.

I wanted to do another instrumental album in the same vein. But a few new songs with lyrics came to me magically and mysteriously. I wasn't expecting that, but I liked them so much that I decided to change my plans and create a balance of those new vocal songs, some new instrumental tracks, and a couple others that I never really found a home for – until I finally decided to make them part of "The Last Vibrations of Summer".

I like this new album very much. As an album, it hangs together very smoothly. It is very satisfying for me, and I hope it will be for you, too.

Coming Home

A song 45 years in its making. A newly arrived teenager from across the  water was cajoled into 'writing songs', and being the ever-easygoing chap he (still) is - he proffered this. Little did he know it would come back to Colorado to remind him of a youth in Kalamunda. Thanks for the shared experience, RGS - especially the education in music. Here's to your 21,885th day, have a happy one.

With You In Mind

Picking up shadows from last century. This one is forty years old this year. The recording, however, isn't. Misato Okuyama is the voice in there that takes this a little closer to heaven.

So This Is Love

Passenger Seat

A winsomg written in a King's Cross hotel room overlooking Sydney Harbour. Taken back to Perth and placed in the caring hands and additional backing vocal from Mark Fisher, and producer Russell Bell's finesse. Elizabeth Segal was there to add harmony and waltz around the control room. A little later, Rob Ellis added bass to give the song some ball, thus making it more of a ballad. Strings and keys arranged and played by the composer.

Lost Out At Love

For little Luna. "Everyone there will know me well, and those who don't can go ..." Featuring the mellow backing tones of Al Parvez and Kerry Stevens. A bitterly emancipated Rob Ellis pleads from the bridge.

I Know I Will Go To Heaven

"Impossible World" – the NEW full album by Wilfred N & the Grown Men is out NOW!! We're very excited about this. The album turned out great, and we are so eager for you to hear it!  

"Impossible World is an extended work in melody and sound, threading together the past and the present with reflections on what the future might hold. The 17 tracks have an overall positive vibe with feelings of a dark reality lurking in the shadows." ~ Wilfred

Ok. Here is some info about me, Wilfred. Music is a big thing in my life . . . I’ve been tuning into radio since I was a little kid (on a crystal set – rocket radio!) and I grew up with access to a large record collection (vinyl and, later . . . everything else that followed).  I was lucky to be a teen during a very musically fertile time – when the Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and tonnes of other greats were creating fresh music for my fresh ears. To this day, I like it when an artist has his own sound but doesn't sound 'all the same' , , , and this is what I try to do.  Most of my own music is written for records by my group, Wilfred N & the Grown Men. I also love making experimental music. I always try to make something that's different, that turns me on, and hopefully it will turn you on, too. In my parallel life as a visual artist – the same goes for my paintings. You can see some of my art here:  www.wilfredkozub.tumblr.com Please keep coming back to my Soundcloud – I’ll do my best to keep posting music that is interesting and alive. Thanks for tuning in!! 
 chrs,  your pal, Wilf
