Now with more awesomeness! Thank you to This Wretched Vessel Lead vocalist for adding in some Gang vocals to beef up the chorus. Also borrowing their percussionist for some tambourine to give the song some extra pop!
You know I can’t think…

This is like a lost Railway Children song from a session where they were letting one of the other guys sing for once. Nice work, and it features your usual upbeat lyrical content! :)
Cover of one of my favourite RPMers. Tried to just make it different and have fun with it. This was definitely one of the stand out tunes this year. Didn't even want to touch it as a cover but I could not help myself. Hope Wilsun likes it…

This song was written for Tony Sly of No Use For A Name - He passed away July of 2013.
His music helped me through quite a bit as a kid and influenced me as a musician. I never thought I would miss a person I had never met but here I am.
From this side I see only one side
and I don't have to say
that I can't pretend
Just don't let her down
And at last there's a chance to remain
above all, friends
and yet we don't know
just don't let her down
and I'm wrong and…
Another RPM
Reg has turned matchmaker he's better at that than being a partner himself
Love makes their world roll
I had a friend who told me, he wasn’t the man he should have been
He’d got tangled in his mind and…
Pouring your heart into an album and finally calling it finished is surreal. It is no longer yours, but everyone's who now listens. Great work Mr Burl Whitis!
Lessons not, quickly forgotten.
Stable eye, upbuild downtrodden.
Troubled times, lay down often.
Catch the sky, once in a while.
No longer a sound.
Lack of presence feelin' down.
Nothing to put my arms around.
Emptiness is not profound…
Great way to end out the album, light and dramatic, short and to the point.
Seriously great way to start off your record making! Looking forward to hearing more form you!
I saw her mother
Just the other day
She didn’t know me
So I froze on what to say
When she was happy
Nothing made her frown
Danced so much
They even gave her a crown
She was , she was royalty
Really wish that she remembered me
She…
Another great track, this feels like it could be the "single." There is a comfort and familiarity to this track while maintaining your own personal style.
Push & pull,
Left & right,
Up & down,
Don't forget your dog's in this fight.
Courage!
Might!
All so hard to see in this light.
Couldn’t put it any other way,
Hands up in the air as if they’re trynna say,
Will I ever be…
What's your angle?
Why, you want everything for free?
Is it your ego,
or how you want the world to be?
Chase your desire,
But your blind to the cost.
Grab at the surface.
Your ideology is lost.
You can't have it all!
This is the price…
You can feel the enjoyment of making music in the song. Production feels a bit different the previous songs but still fits. I was about to comment on Anthem of Zeros being my favourite but Figured I would listen to rest of the album before committing that comment. It is a toss up between Anthem of Zeros and Vice.
One last cup of coffee
Before I hit the road
Where I’m going
You only know
Don’t forget me
Once i’m sold
Breaking down slowly
I suppose so
I’m beaten up
But I’ve grown up
Beaten up
Grow up
You’ll make someone happy
For a year…
There’s. man by the shallow
He goes there each day
Screams about his problems,
Prays them away
Why’d you come to the shallow?
Do you ever feel peace?
I need a solution
Before my head is fleeced.
The shallow, it saves me
It, holds…
I wait, I wait,
For you now.
I wait, I wait,
For you now.
Now that you're ahead I wonder,
Will you turn and wait for me?
I wonder.
If I lost direction,
Would the favor return for free?
I wonder.
Hit the brakes, hit the brakes!
Wait…
It’s all smoke and mirrors
Why I can’t see straight
Will this illusion vanish
When will it break
The smoke it lifting
The mirrors clear
I wasn’t really risking
Everything is still there
Am I still dreaming
This just don’t sit right…
I guess it's really gonna be farewell,
For as far as I can tell,
Once upon a time story sounds so swell,
the kind of story that we would tell,
We tell the children that it's all, alright,
Nursery rhymes to get through the night,
Hush little…
I saw you walk right by me without a second glance.
I heard you talking right behind my ‘ugly’ back.
Who knew that we could turn from friends to strangers so so fast,
I thought that this was just the end.
I always argued it was your fault…
“Homesick” was recorded and mixed on February 21-25, 2025.
First half of "Homesick" was written and demo'ed on the evening of 8/10/2023. Second half of "Homesick" was written on 2/21/2025. This version of "Homesick" was recorded and mixed…
I decided to try a few different things this year for RPM. This is the single (along with a b-side to make a playlist) I'm using to show I completed RPM. All told I had six songs and could have listed an EP, but the songs all need a bit more…
“Wrapped Up” was written, recorded, and produced in 12/19/2024 - 12/22/2024, for the December 2024 REM Challenge (via RPM Challenge).
I stole the chords from "Soul Glo" in the movie Coming To America. Nile Rodgers can sue me if he wants…
“Summer Rain” was written, recorded, and produced on July 23, for the July 2024 REM Challenge (via RPM Challenge).
Written in five minutes. Recorded in 10 minutes (used take #3). Added additional instrumentation and mixed in about 45 minutes…
“Nothingness” was written, recorded, and produced on May 31, for the May 2024 REM Challenge (via RPM Challenge).
It was done out of desperation to have something submitted for this month's REM Challenge. It is terrible!

Whoa. The revision with the new backing vocals is really great!
Oh wow...so, so good. The song just came pouring out of my speakers and filled up the room.
Great acoustic sound and atmosphere, awesome vocals!

Love this!
Holy. Crap. This sounds epic!
This sounds like an 80s metal power ballad, and I mean that in all the best possible ways.
Love this!
This sounds amazing! I'm so honored for the cover, thank you!
LOVE IT
Very nicely done! Love the those bvox too!
Wow...this is amazing.
Great tune!
wide open and great production. love it
Oooh. Pretty!
This is a lot better than my version. Awesome work! FWIW the title is "In The Eye". :P
YES.
That riff is tasty; very, very tasty! And I love the vox delivery...great song!
I love every aspect of this song; the mix, the performance, the writing, all of it.
Wow, great song. Great song!

Some Cure "Close to Me" vibes off this one!
...okay... I am starting to understand the character "Reg" - I think I have to look deeper into your catalog...

Love the gruff in the voice!

This is in a tie of favourite track with Vice. This is a great debut album.

Killer track, great groove and that instrumental is fantastic!
You guys Clearly have a firm grasp on album flow. This track sits perfectly in the track listing. Great pop sensibilities!
A lot of diversity in the style but it is massively cohesive. I love that transition into the chorus.
Three tracks in and I am hooked. This album is great, can't believe it is your first!
This is mesmerizing and hypnotic.
So raw and real! Great recording!
Great track Wilsun! You’ve captured such a raw and relatable feeling with this song!
Ah, a song that is well recorded and speaks volumes of truth! Well done Tim!
Good times. Good times indeed.
Love it. Yes, it is bad. But You committed in the performances making it still great!
Short and sweet! ...and happy? I like proto punk Wilsun! Happy Birthday! - 8/1/2024
Dark and dramatic! Love this Wilsun! Celebrate the little things, desperation or not, this track is fantastic!
