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...

Holy crap this is awesome! Chills hit me when I heard the strings, more chills hit when the change over happened. What a fantastic way to end it with the telephone echos and signature Wilson oohs! Thank you so much for posting this! I love it!
Matt Ferrara doesn't get enough love around here. He's a brilliant arranger and lyricist and it's rare, if ever, that someone covers one of his songs. So I set out to correct that. As usual, it's faster than the original because, well, it's…
Begin to see me, worthy Sailor, navigator
Living on the ocean for days
The spirit of the sea lies below us
Above us, dark skies of gray
I just can’t let it go
The search for the grail has gone cold
But a wreck of a ship lies below us…
Some interesting changes from songs 4 to get to this point, and even more interesting changes in this song. Feels like a good tune to sum up the album with. Well done on you 2021 RPM!
Set em up one at a time
Then knock em down to ease my mind
I‘m just trying to unwind
From a world that’s less than kind
And I’m just trying to decide
Were you just wasting my time?
The thought has come to my mind
We’re at the end of the…
Feels like a departure form the opening three songs while still maintaining cohesion. Very interested to see where the rest of the album goes from here.
They do it all the time
Prey upon your fears
Hang around them long enough
They’ll Play you like their fool
Play you like the lottery
Time and time again
You see things never change
You’re nothing but their fool
Do it once or do it…
Was Passing Through
I only Stopped to stay the night
As the morning came
I sped off into the light
I can go anywhere
I’ll go anywhere I like
Wish you were with me
On this wild ride
Wish you were with me
Riding through the night…
Cover version of "Might Be a Sign" by the wonderful Keith Landry from his 2014 RPM album Objects in the Mirror.

Go check out his original version.
This one is a classic case of "Chasing The Demo".
In other words, I am not happy with it. The demo versions had a ton more feel and groove. This one sounds rushed and doesn't do the song justice. Oh well, such is life when you are on a budget…
This song was written long before it was recorded, though it stayed pretty much the same from day one of its creation until the studio about 4 years later. My favorite part is my guitar riffs near the end. My least favorite part is my crappy singing.
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.

How did a week go by without noticing that this happened! This sounds fantastic!
Sounds great Tim!
These songs are all fantastic! Really well done! Hope to hear more music from you!
You have a wonderful voice! This is fantastic song as well.

This one is wonderfully outside the realm "pop." This is a great song.
Fantastic opener to the album, so full of life!
I now want to hear Wilsun reading Frost or Poe in the back ground of this.
I need more test tube drinks and glowsticks. My work is not going to like this at all. Too bad for them because I needs to HAVE THIS LOUDER!
HAHAHa, look at this guy AMUC, so easily dis...ooh skittles! What were we talking about again?
A wonderful recording indeed! Finally someone bringing some pop punk to alonetone!
Wonderful rendition!
Fantastic cover. Beautifully well done.
Great cover Wilsun! Love your style!
This one had to get the people moving when you played it live, holy crap that is a good tune. Instant favourite!
Well if Mr. Martin like the tune it can't disappoint. And sure enough, it doesn't.
Similar to the previous tune; if you didn't mention anything was wrong, we would praise this song for what it is: Awesome.
I would love to hear this one live. Didn't notice anything wrong with the vocal, if anything, they had a ton of energy to the track.
