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!

Brian of A Beautiful Scene wrote an amazing tune for the 2020 A Beautiful Scene RPM record and I couldn't get it out of my head. I hope I did it justice.
(updated May 10 with a slightly different mix)
One thing I like about covers is turning a song on its head, so that's what I did with this tune from the great ABS album "The Far Side Of Paradise". I hope I made Lane proud.
I love Wilsun's 2020 RPM album "Departure", so I decided to cover it (yes, the whole album), but with a twist. I found some bits to be repetitive, so I removed them. I wrote down the lyrics and chords, and promptly ignored the originals, making…
Taken from the album ‘The Weight Of Water’, from 2007. (This is a new mix, for 2014.)
Written and performed by Rog Hildreth.
Sometimes I challenge myself to write and record a song from scratch in a single day. This is a story song which…
It is nice to see a band returning to rock roots and evolving their sound from there. Instead of that modern rock sound like Nickleback that has been sweeping the nation. Bravo gentlemen, bravo.

Pouring Rain by A Beautiful Scene
This year I thought of you, far too many times
And it’s made me think
Of things that’ve become over there and they…
And how do I know…
I love your take on this song! this is one of those songs I wrote and recorded in one night, so the guitar wasn't really thought out. You made it sound beautiful. I love the second guitar in place of the organ as well. Very well done sir.
I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.
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.

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

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!

Wonderfully done Tim!
Quite beautiful indeed! Nice dig on cover this particular one!
Haha haha! It really is Boy’s don’t cry. Great cover!
This is an incredible RPM album - Well done!
Just going through your tunes, you have a lot of good stuff in here. I look forward to hearing more of it!
Love your songs and your sound. Definitely one of the most talented artists I have heard. Appreciate your music and hope you make a lot more of it.

There is some good stuff here mate. I think you need to find yourself a good lyricist/ singer and make a record.
This is the darkest, most poppy song I have ever heard. I like it. I would love to hear more like it in the future of music...

This reminds me of the Cardigans in a very good way. A lot less poppy and quite dark which shows passion. Very good track!
