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...

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
Good one
great vocals!
Impressive. I like what you did with the drum work and the guitar is really pretty.
Very Nice! Love your improvised drum sounds!
Brilliant cover! Love the bite!
Ooh, quirky and fabulous!
Very cool cover!
Good One.
Love the way the guitar and piano work together on this. Great vocals too!
I like this this. Tension in the music fits the lyrics like a glove.
Love the guitar, and vox! Hello Dover!
A great bit of songwriting here and a top notch vocal performance!
You really captured that post punk era well here! Robert Smith would be proud!
Holy moly, great cover, also shows the good bones on this track to build on as well. Kudos all around!
GREAT cover! Wow.
Love the mix and the bass tone on this one! And yes, definitely some influences from listening to The Hazards of Love ;p
Nice bass, cool arrangement!
Well Done , I like it.
Haunting sounds!
Nice work man. Good track, I´m agree with Kirk the master :) Cool voice

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