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.
A worship song for the times you feel hopelessly lost.
V i
Oh Lord I don't know what to do
When I find myself, far away from you
and every prayer always comes back to this
I don't know what to do please pull me through
and I 'm so tired…

Funny how much of a different message I hear listening to it during these times compared to the first time I heard you sing it! You are a talented soul- thank you for sharing your gifts!
This is a cover of L17's cover of WIlsuns Album Departure. I took out all of the unnecessary bits and the starts and stops. It was like Covering Wilsun's 8 songs, then Tim's eight songs, but also Tim's one big song... Making this like.. 17 covers…
This is a remarkable piece of art. Using the drums from Boys Don't Cry is an inspired bit of brilliance....
And bonus points for the emotional yelling in Goodbye. :)
Cover off of Letter Seventeen's 2020 RPM album. Tried to do the opposite of imitating him, imitating someone else. This was one of the most time consuming songs I have ever done. I manually gated the Kick and Toms which takes a long time(and is…
This is truly wonderful and is a brilliant reinterpretation of our song. In particular, I love the little bit where you double time the kick in the chorus.
Here is a cover of Matt Ferrara's song "Obey" - Had this song stuck in my head for a good chunk of February, so I figured I would put it to tape. A little slower than the original with a similar feel.
I really wanted to see if I could record…
If tomorrow you find yourself far away from me
Running to another city
If you don't have the time to hide away with me
Disappear into the scenery
Am I no longer worth
The effort to search
For the life we were dreaming
For the love we…
I know sometimes things just ain't right
Like oil and water we survive
Y'know I don't hate you
Maybe we're too much alike
Push and pull
We'll survive
We're not getting younger these days
And we're both sure and set in our ways
We fight…
Broken things on my window sill
Remind me every day
Of my constant lean towards failure
Always getting in my way
Perpetual disappointment
I never follow through
Can't count on me for nothing
I'll only disappoint you
There's a war in…
You gotta work long hours, Grind that stone
Work your fingers to the bone
Gotta make that money while you can
Before retirement and old age sets in
Do what you can for the company and
The boss 'll take care of you
Forget about vacation…
If we take a moment Ignore what divides us two
Just take a moment What would we see
Would I see a brother Might I be your friend
Might there be more that binds us hand in hand
Between you and me are the same old songs
Between you and me…
If I'm out of words
to brighten up your day
All that's left of us
is rust and decay
Remember these moments
more than just alive
Think of these
times when we thrived
If the sun ceases to shine
forever runs out of time
If we're all out…
This is how these things start
My sad excuse for a work of art
Put in the effort, set the pace
Hardly anyone listens anyways
Years of this takes its toll
Only few ever know
All this work done in haste
A whole month gone to waste
Everyday (Rock Remix)
“Everyday” written and recorded February 2021 for the 2021 RPM Challenge.
Re-recorded vocals and remixed December 2021.
Wilson Ng - Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards.
Brian Wood - Vocals, Guitars.
Andy Samford - Guitars…
Bringing back a song from 2011 with a new twist. The song now has drums, bass, and an orchestral backend. This is hopefully part of a larger collection of me reworking older songs with orchestration.
Many thanks to Brian of A Beautiful Scene…
There are too many battles to fight in life, sometimes it's best to just walk away.
Written & recorded Aug 2021 as part of the RPM Challenge: Record Every Month Challenge
Remixed: Sept 25, 2021
This album sounds like what would have happened if Butch Vig had gotten Dave Grohl to work with Peter Murphy and the cure. Fantastic vocals with edge and dark ambience.
Now a decade old, I thought I would revisit this mix again. I have done this a few times as I continue to learn the craft. I thought it would be a good exercise to undertake as a start thinking about writing again for the next record.
AS always, wonderfully done. Crisper tones and higher fidelity. Your voice sounds amazing; every time I try to remix something I lose the charm, you have kept the charm and added sparkle!
Brian wrote a song.
Wilsun covered it.
Wilsun gave me his Garageband file.
I teamed up with a robot orchestra and we made this.
Hopefully Brian and Wilsun will like it.
Wilsun's cover: https://alonetone.com/wng801/tracks/leave-me-alone…
A lot of interesting things happening in that orchestra, great remix of an already great cover! Way to exploit Wilsun's awesome voice and push it out onto it's own!
Comments on A Beautiful Scene's stuff
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!
Out of the gate...this one grabs you instantly. It's a great counterpoint to Part 1.
This is an anthem! Great song!
I love how this song almost pulses out of the speakers at me. Great cut!
That's pretty powerful.
Funny how much of a different message I hear listening to it during these times compared to the first time I heard you sing it! You are a talented soul- thank you for sharing your gifts!
This is great!

You guys knocked it out of the park here.

I love this! I love this song and love what you did with the cover :)
Sounds great! Love this song.

Interesting to see where it started and where it ended up!
Pretty epic!
So, spit takes are real thing apparently. Cleaning the wall now.
Love the progression and depth to this song. So simple, yet so moving.
This song hits you right in the feels.
Has a very classic sound - love that Beach Boy's vibe with a 90's punk touch! Fantastic song!
I don't want to work anymore...
I could see the lot of us RPMers singing this in a bar somewhere in downtown Portsmouth NH. This could be the anthem to our lack of get together.
And quite the change of pace.. That Dobro is an excellent addition!
Those guitars are amazing! Love the allusion to RPM even if it is self deprecating, it certainly captures the feeling toward record production month.
This sounds like an insane amount of work and pulled it off wonderfully! This is absolutely fantastic!
Fantastic! Love the new vocal take!
This absolutely fantastic! Your voice is amazing!
Great rework of your tune! Glad I could be apart of it!
Awesome track!
Holy fudge! absolutely wonderful vocal lines! so much passion!

Holy crap the lead singer on this song absolutely kills that chorus!
