Wilfred Kozub Soundcloud

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 w...

"Wild Horse" – music and lyrics by Wilfred Kozub Wilfred Kozub – vocals, keyboards Jamie Philp – guitar I never did meet Ian Tyson, but I did have a very small connection with him. Several years ago – I think it was 1997 – I read an article in the Edmonton Journal about Ian Tyson. In the article, Tyson said something about wanting to make a jazz album. I had just written a song called "Wild Horse,...

“Disenchanted” was written in 2017 and recorded in the years that followed, bit by bit. The song was mildly released on my Wilfred Kozub Soundcloud a few years ago. The version that will be appearing on the new album (2022) titled “Impossible World” will be a new mix of the song with a few small changes here and there. Things in life are alright, but they don’t seem as good as they used to be. The...

I started to write “Immaculate Time” in 2017 and began recording it in 2018. I had some basic tracks recorded and some rudimentary lyrics. Jamie Philp came into my studio to ‘just play something’ along with my recorded outline of the song. He played a really cool plucky rhythm guitar part which contributed mightily to the magical groove of the tune. The recording wasn’t truly finished until late 2...

I wrote and recorded “Waiting for the Sun” in 2019. I released this as part of a small digital collection of songs in the same year. It was intended as one of the first singles for an upcoming album that was to be titled “We’ll Get There”. 2020, then 2021 came along, and you all know what happened. Things got delayed. The album is finally coming out in summer 2022 with a new title – “Impossible Wo...

“Thunder 2020” had a limited digital release in 2019 in its current version. Thunder 2020 is a new take on the original Wilfred N and the Grown Men song Thunder on the Tundra. It’s a little more like the way Jamie Philp and I perform it as a duo lately. Why 2020? … The title Thunder 2020 was originally my working title for a new full album, which will now be called ‘We’ll Get There’. * The origina...

“Lost Time” was begun in 2017 but became fully formed in a home studio recording session during ‘the COVID times’. These were lost times but proved to be a fertile ground for some good new songs.

When I wrote this song in 2017 I fantasized that we were living in the future. Now we REALLY are. Crazy. “Living in the Future” is a song we played live a few times. It came out earlier as a digital preview of our full Wilfred N & the Grown Men album that was originally titled “We’ll Get There”. The album is finally coming out this summer, 2022, and the album has been renamed “Impossible World”.

“Do You Listen to Me” was first released as a digital single in 2021 for a promised album with the working title We’ll Get There First. The album is finally coming out with a new title – Impossible World – in the summer of 2022. Life goes fast, so you gotta take a few chances now and then to create some momentum in your life. If you do nothing … nothing happens.

This track is an extension of a little bridge section of "Nobody Has to Know" that was destined to become its own piece. lyrics No rain . . . please no more rain I'm waiting now for sunlight Please no more rain (Seriously)

“New World Coming” began its production in 2020. I wanted to get this tune out into the New World quickly because it turns out that the lyrics eerily seem to fit all that is going on right now. Will we save ourselves? Will we be saved?

Instrumental track with minimal spoken vocals

Traditionally, the b-side of a single is the fun side, and on Wilfred N’s 2014 spring single the b-side is "Playing In The Mud". Here is what Wilfred has to say about it: "Last summer, we added a load of fresh dirt to our flower garden. Then it rained . . . and rained . . . and rained . . . and the garden turned into a soppy mess of MUD. Our grand kids were over and we let them go at it – little k...

“Knocking Down the Door” was written by Wilfed Kozub and recorded in Edmonton, Canada and first released on the digital EP “We’ll Get There First” in October 2019. This release was intended as a preview of fresh tracks that would be appearing on the full album “Impossible World” by Wilfred N & the Grown Men. Knocking Down the Door – an ambitious indie production that celebrates the triumph of the...

“Nobody Has to Know” was originally released as a cd single by Wilfred N & the Grown Men" and on a YouTube video in April 2014. A new mix of the song appears on the new wngm album “Impossible World” (July 15, 2022 release date). There is always an element of the silent unknown in the secret life of a regular person. “The two of us is magic – you and me and me and you”. “Just float down the silent...

“I Guess We’re in Love” was recorded in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and was released as a limited digital single previewing its inclusion on the upcoming Wilfred N & the Grown Men album “Impossible World”. The song started as just a pleasant melodic idea around the line “I guess we’re in love”. In any relationship, there are difficulties over time. A strong relationship gets through those difficulti...

“Prelude to the Sun” is the opening track on the album “Impossible World” by Wilfred N & the Grown Men. The song is an introduction to the album and a preview of the full version of the song “Waiting for the Sun” that appears later on the album.

“Moonray” was completed in March 2021, recorded in my home in Edmonton. The vacant years of 2020 and 2021 … and continuing into 2022 left me feeling like the sun had disappeared. But I still had my moonray. I’ve become accustomed to the loss of warmth and light. Who needs the sun anymore?

Life goes fast but it's still going on strong. I admit that this song is pretty irresistible. I wasn't going to release it until the new Wilfred N & the Grown Men comes out, but, honestly, we've been waiting so long with this pandemic thing going on that I just couldn't wait any longer for you to hear it. Are you following me? . . . cuz I'm following you!

A remembered feeling of hurt and regret in a lost relationship.

This is a purely fun song of unbridled joy that Wilfred N & the Grown Men used to play live many years ago and recorded for our album "Day Off" in 1995.

NEW NEW NEW!!! I don’t know exactly what I was thinking when I was writing “Living in the Future”. I doubt that it was the usual futuristic stuff – robots . . . artificial intelligence . . . that Dick Tracy watch we’ve all been waiting for (oh yeah, sorry . . . ummm, the Apple Watch!). But I knew that living in the future was going to be something. And I guess I was right. We are living in the fut...

This is a tender song of disappointment in a relationship. The song is from the album "Thunder on the Tundra" recorded in 1987 . . . "the year everything happened," according to Wilfred N. This was one of the more successful songs for Wilfred N & the Grown Men in terms of radio airplay, with plays across Canada and several stations in Europe. A version of "Sailing on a Cruiser" was recorded in liv...

New New NEW!! This is an advance of one of the songs from our upcoming full album – "We'll Get There" – by Wilfred N & the Grown Men. "The damage that has been done can be turned around; the sadness in the world buried in the ground . . . Kindness in the heart make a life more pure, now we are so in love . . . LOVE". Yes . . . LOVE is the answer, but there's work to be done. "Do you value world pe...
