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.
Wow, what a surprise and honor! Probably would have been a lot easier if I'd shipped you the chords/tabs/sheet music :-) This is really an impressive bit of work, reconstructing a song, with a very different feel, and have that new piece stand so nicely on its own. Well played and sung!

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...
Ha, another marvellous cover of a cracking track! You have such a great knack of picking the right songs! Am loving this spinoff project - hope you're going for the full CD!

Cover version of the song “Leave Me Alone pt. II” by the excellent A Beautiful Scene, off their 2021 RPM album A Long Night of Radio Drama.

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.
https://alonetone.com/keithlandryacoustic/playlists/objects-in-the-mirror/might-be-a-sign
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
I don't know the original but this is great very good.
Wow. You did a much better job with her songs than I did. Nice work. I really like the transition into Rest.
haha i had no idea you covered these, awesome!

I especially love the "He used to be a giant to me" part - love the sudden change in tone! Very cool.
*swoon* Ah, what an honour! I adore this arrangement!!!! :-) Wonderfully heart-tugging! Thank you so much.
Great cover, very nice indeed.
This gets my official 'thumbs up seal of approval'. I really enjoyed what you have done with this.
great sound and production! Diggin it! Faved!!!

Hah! This is great! I'll have to say, this is not a song I figured anyone would ever cover. = ) Nice work.
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!

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.
