Once of City Steve and the Neon Lights. this was my first cover.
This song is done in the style of "the rake Song" by the decemberist. yeah. that just happened.
you're a tight orchestra, one man with his own style, and a whole lot of quality. I dont mean that in the obtuse sense. I mean your sound literally retains a lot of depth.
The cover I did off Uglifruit's 2010 RPM submission. The drums are a pair of hotrod sticks, that I made, hitting my keyboard table. The "kick drum is the stick hitting the pop screen while the mic was on.
I still need to fade...
“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!
I might be warming up, turn me over
But the spinning wheels are stuck, on the shoulder
I lost the day
In a trade I lost my soul to the devil
In a fair enough bargain, it's on the level
For the pay
While I stare at brakelight eyes…
I've got a frakentele... and it is my current goto guitar... an't nothin wrong with a giter made from parts of other failed projects...
great tune, just great.
RPM. Month of concessions. I had lots of ideas, and they all seemed to fall apart. Time was not in abundance. Glad this was a leap year, for me to squeeze this out in a few hours after work.
Thrown around town
Wind in your face
Picking up discards, push handcarts
In this town
Jump overboard
You're pushed overboard
There clearly is a difference: you're flotsam lost or jetsam cold
Jump overboard
You're pushed overboard…
“My Butterfly” was recorded and mixed very quickly from 5/7/23 to 5/11/23, for May’s 30 Day Songs challenge (30daysongs.com).
“My Butterfly” was also submitted to May’s REM Challenge (via RPM Challenge).
“My Butterfly” written by W. Ng.
The juxtopation of these two songs is perfect, the ugliness of the first intro of harsher nature into a neatly wrapped tune of beautiful melody.
Coming into My Butterfly that feels like something Smith should have done in the first place. The completion of the thought from old to new is a wonderful idea.
Great job Wilsun! --- *SORRY! *DR* Wilsun!
“The Caterpillar” was recorded and mixed very quickly from 5/7/23 to 5/11/23, for May’s 30 Day Songs challenge (30daysongs.com).
"The Caterpillar" written by R. Smith/L. Tolhurst, originally by The Cure.
Tim played and sang everything
Another cover for the May 30 Day Songs project (https://30daysongs.com).
This has always been one of my favorite songs and I saw that Ben Kweller's album
"Sha Sha" is turning 20 this year. I needed a b…
this is a cover of Letter Seventeen by Zero Incentive and the Bluffs
Here is the original

Wow, this is really cool! I love the faster tempo, makes the song feel way more alive! The solo and drum programing is way better then my original. Thank you Brent!
Yacht rock.
Every time I see your smile
I feel like I’ve come home
And every time you stay a while
Is the best day that I’ve known
You’re the one that lights my way
Brings brightness to my day
And I just have to say
Don’t want it…
Everyone loves a tribute to The Cure
I’m sitting here in the dark , Thinking how we fell apart
I can’t shake the feeling of your touch
Remembering the way you smiled, And how you said you’d stay a while
But now you’re gone and I’m here all…
Your backing vocals on this album remind me of something that I cannot quite put my finger on. I like them a lot. I think you have actually done more with less this year in the BGV department. That solo was borderline Just like Heaven... but then again, you said you were doing the Cure and the Cure you did.
I don't even know you anymore.
You open your mouth, the words slip out
I’m shocked by what I hear
The differences couldn’t be more clear
Same scene, different views
With our eyes and on the news
And I’m not sure what to do
I don’t…
Over the course of the album, you seem to have some pent up aggression toward some one... Ooh chimes! sorry ADD... The addition of the left guitar in the second chorus is killer! All of the layers in the end are wonderful!
Sometimes you listen to a Peter Murphy song and then ask ChatGPT to help you write a song. Sometimes you end up with this. You wouldn't believe the lyrics I left out.
Goths on the beach, all dressed in black,
Heading for the waves, and…
Super interesting concept going into this one. I basically have no other words.
Its good? Its weird? Its perfectly constructed?
I think the only thing it is missing is a 12 string and maybe it is already on in there...You really let loose in those last choruses and it is awesome... more of that please.
Comments on A Beautiful Scene's stuff
nice
unique. I love it
Listened to all 5 of your most recent songs and liked them all. Will be back for more. ER
I love this song. I had so much fun working on this with you! -Erin
Brian, your vocals are awesome
I really like this, real gem of a song. I kept thinking you'd go into a heavy section; I'm really glad you didn't. Those brittle guitars are special
ok my first comment was redundant, ha. What I MEANT to say was... tight song, I dig the way the snappy guitar plays off the female vocal. there we go.
These new songs are really strong. Keep it up!
Most excellent work, my friend! I love the 60's vibe.
Nice 80s sound. Brings back memories. :) Regards, Steffen
this is a fantastic song. funky bassline+dark guitar+rocking drums+creepy vocal+fight club theme= mind blown
I like your sound mate great job.
well done and played.
I completely prefer this to my version - you've captured the feeling I failed to express. Wonderful!
I always love hearing you sing. Well done!
Cool tune.
really cool!
like the bass and keys in the backdrop -cool song

a crowd husher of a sweet song.

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!
Jarrett, this song just gets better every time I listen to it. I have it on my reoccurring spotify playlist and I simply love it!
I've got a frakentele... and it is my current goto guitar... an't nothin wrong with a giter made from parts of other failed projects... great tune, just great.
Interesting. Clever and interesting!
Hol.Lee.Crap. This is absolutely fantastic! I feel like Brian Wilson after hearing Elenore Rigby..
That was astonishing!

There is a bold move in purposely have dissonance be the intro of a song. You are nailing the Robert Smith.
So very tranquil and lovely. Love what you did with this Mark!
This sounds absolutely phenomenal!

Nice and gentle way to end the album. Well done as usually good sir.
