Without Hands (Perfection)
Verse One
It’ll never snow here
In this quiet little town
even winter brings
a green green ground
still stranger yet
in his monolithic place
so delicate
with scars on his face
Chorus
All the words you…
Paisley Tears
Verse One
Awake to the sound of broken glass I know,
It’s far too real
A wispered word could spark a fight
We learn to play so still
In Shadows hiding from the light
Children against thier will
Chorus
But I’m more than…
Transparent Zipperfoot (title meaning at bottom if you want to read TLDR:)
Verse One
This life in focus
I feel it has no meaning, its purpose ever fleeting
And how we get through
This world and aspdcts thereof
only through words and thier…
Love the story behind the title - I've got songs like that too. One of the reasons I am SO MUCH of a one man band is because of bad experiences with bands. Cool song.
Blue Skies
Verse One
I try to imagine, a sky too blue
Your hearts older, but mine ages too
I turn to wisper, you've lost the war
Holding to everything, you've lost
Chorus
And we're all to blame
Holding your fame to favour
All your…
Kisses Goodnight
Verse One
After Goodbyes and all,
We’re now on our way
We’re leaving here for now
Cold hands, spin me around
Eyes lock and innocence becomes
My eyes
PreCH
The photographs
Still frames in my mind
Forged memories…

I gotta be honest. I had this on in my headphones jamming out while working and felt like I was listening to spotify. The breakdown on "Without Hands" caught my attention and I remembered I was listening to an RPM all recorded in one month! That says a lot for your production I think. Bravo. Look forward to hearing next years!
Smiles Not Fading
Verse One
Called in content in all of this
all the world has past me by
Outraged by fear and holding on
Still I've done nothing wrong
PreCH
Taking all of this, all away
Breathing although
You’ll, never feel awake…

Tight! The guitar tone in the solo section is dynamite. Thanks for all the kind words on our page btw. Means a lot for a debut album! Grats on 20 yrs of records!

Verse One
How did we get to this place
in our lives where we hate each other
how could you be so far away from me
I’ll never understand
With you by my side
We could have been so great so perfect now
Chorus
And how the world can be so…

Lyrics for the bridge
Logically there's room for all questions
Though the answers aren't all known,
Objectivities the myth of plenty,
Who doubt His truth within their soul.

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.

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
A powerful set of songs, and a really good listen, well done.
Woah. Powerful stuff. Didn't need the meaning (or I didn't need it), I didn't get the details but I got the point - really moving.
Love the story behind the title - I've got songs like that too. One of the reasons I am SO MUCH of a one man band is because of bad experiences with bands. Cool song.
Powerful stuff
Rocking!

Mhm. Yup. This is great.

That hits the spot
Excellent Album!
Good rockin' tune!
Well done. Cool rocking song. BTW, thanks for listening to my songs.
Agree with (WilSun, I assume?) sounds real good now! Any RPM '23? Thanks btw!
Are you English?
Love this. The pulsating...
Is that all you? Great vocal...
Great production! Such an emotional song! Great vocal mix. I'd like to hear a bit more of the lead vocal.
Sounds great already, demo or not. Amazing vocals!
This is TIGHT. Dang.
Digging this track.

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.
