all the pounding waves
drowning out the sound
the sound is poison
diving down below
sinking very slow
drown away the sound
if I, can't make it
stop your soliloquy
I feel the death inside me
in this succession
the still and quiet
I will succumb…

the ever growing night
hides the sight of your sleeping body
and slide right in next to you
and try my best to hold you tightly
just an hour earlier
so hard to hear above the screaming
and left alone at 1 a.m.
this futile gesture lost in dreaming…
I almost thought I knew it, so very close to space and time
it almost makes me lose my mind
2 seconds closer to the, the moment fleeting thoughts are mine
so far away, so close
grasping, the memory, the secret, divine
I never knew that someday…
Hey AFC, nice work on this one. I like the melody on it. You have a different sound than most of the things I have been hearing lately, different in cool, vibey sort of way. Thanks for posting this. Cheers, Gary
facedown far from only, every bit the proper gent
feeling very tiny, kindly pass along a hand
and please stifle the laughter as I crown the better man
borrowing the gibberish, this continental drift
line up the idiots and choose your tool…

I like this a lot. Nice work.
BTW... "i've been working on it a while. the drums sound like shit, my vox are horid and the guitars suck balls"
... made me laugh... pretty much describes everything I do.
as well as enjoying the interpretation.. I LOVE the 'about' column!! haha. Me ol' ma does a similar thing when she sets the meals down 'meats overdone, potatoes could have been on a bit longer and the sauce is too thick. Enjoy!'
Oh horray! LOVE this arrangement and the lyrics sound so much better when you sing them! That guitar riff echoing the original string pipe motif sounds so haunting! Nice work! (Oh and those sweeping vox of yours..!) Right, I'm going to have to do a cover of your cover!
the first new song written for the RPM challenge, i love the guitar part, but the words were last minute. some people get tired of my anti-religion diatribe. oh well
Judge me, I want everyone all up in here
cast your stones for slandering…
this is 4 bass tracks and drums
the 3rd song i wrote about my wife. maybe someday the second song will show up somewhere.
like a hunter hunts its prey
eyeing me, hungrily
can't keep her paws to herself
and i'm not about to fight it
it…
this song is 6 bass parts on top of drum loops. each part is completely seperate mix and effect. that synth sound in the chorus is actually me singing falsetto with muey effects on it.
a song from a previous band (kill.pop.), i took the metal out of it and made it more dreamy. this is actually the 3rd version of this song that i've played.

back where i was born
you learn pretty early on to leave well enough alone
just settle in and watch the world around you spin
there's nowhere else to go when you live in a snow globe
i knew this kid who couldn't wait to pack it in
and break…
don't ask me out to a movie
cause i'm not gonna go
don't tell me you're having a party
cause i already know
it's an 80's theme
i saw it in my stream
but i didn't accept or decline
i just said maybe
and maybe means no
maybe always means…
VERSE I
Lettuce in first
To build a foundation
Everything else is up to you
It these choices
that you make, pour it on
that create the moment you have waited for
PRE CH
These tines, plunging in
CHORUS
And we are all so intricate…
I've been obsessed with this song since I watched a Rick Beato video that called out how the awesome guitar solo was criminally buried in the mix. Plus, it's yacht rock, and if there's one thing I love, it's yacht rock. So I set out to record…
You wouldn't know if from my uploads over the last few months, but I rarely record covers, mostly because you hear what's WRONG, not what's RIGHT. But I had a theme of Earth, Wind, & Fire for September, so I decided to take on a huge song…
from the album "Uniform"
she hides her heart under the pillow
waiting for the good fairy to come
replace this worn and broken thing
with a heart that can feel again
she's never sure which night will be her lucky one
but she anticipates…
Hello.
Well Hello!
Hello Pillow,
How do you do?
I'm doing mighty fine thank you,
How about you?
Fancy a snooze?
Let's go to sleep right now x 3
Right now. Night now.
Hello.
Hello Pillow,
And what a shitter of a day.
Never…
My dear friend Brent Kinder asked for some covers of his AFC songs, and this is my attempt at covering the excellent song Sideways from his Orange album, which is available on Alonetone in its original form. I'll include the link here, but I'm…
Brent wrote a song. A really good song.
I asked for his session file. I replaced his drum and keyboard sounds and remixed things.
I added a second guitar and some strings.
I created an odd percussion track.
Then I recorded my own vocals…
“Shine” by Wilson Ng, written and recorded in February 2022 for the RPM Challenge.
Outtake from the 2022 RPM Challenge Sessions. Just one of those songs that doesn't seem to work. Wanted to recut the vocals because they were basically scratch…

RPM 2022. I finished a song.. does that count?
Well the early bird
Catches the worm
Eats it up
And shits it out
Onto the lawn
And into the dirt
Where the worms crawl
And use the soil to form
To be eaten once more
By the early birds…
When the shivers go right down your spine like a river
Or the whiplash from turning your head to the coast
Brace, the stormfront breaching outside,
Every tree, bends like a dragons tail
We lean our bodies toward the headwinds
turning our…
When the shivers go right down your spine like a river
Or the whiplash from turning your head to the coast
Brace, the stormfront breaching outside,
Every tree, bends like a dragons tail
We lean our bodies toward the headwinds
turning our…
Can you feel it, in your teeth
It is hiding, smoldering
In the shadows, of your mind
Where there's smoke there's surely fire
Are you evil, in disguise
Feel the acid, start to rise
Ever shameful, hide the guilt
Always lapping at the flames…
Cross my heart, and hope to live forever
If we’re wishing we might as well jump
Bittersweet, sepia tones rolling down the canyon,
Turning my head
So long this long refrain
So long we’ll meet again
Flying past though leave no trails…
For the first time in 13 years Grant sent me some lyrics. I added a verse and then spent the month of February waiting for the song to give me a direction. It did on about the 24th. Originally this was sunny and upbeat.
Keep it quiet kids…
We decided to give the kids an outlet that wasn’t pandemic or lockdown based this February, and made an album as a family for the RPM Challenge 2021. It was just the most precious, funny, brilliant month.

This one has a cool vibe and tone to it. Excellent work. I like the solo parts, they feel like you could float on them.
Hey, great song and nicely done.
Nice!
Epic! Brilliant! Love those fearless vocal lines, as ever!
Tender song. Truly wonderful lyrics.

oh yeah

kind of reminds me a little of something off Tool's Opiate. Nice.
Wow- that rocks!

So very different from the original, I can tell you had fun with this one. Great cover.

i had this guitar part bouncing around for a couple months, unfortunately i was never quite happy with the song itself, one of the parels of RPM.
this song is 6 bass parts on top of drum loops. each part is completely seperate mix and effect. that synth sound in the chorus is actually me singing falsetto with muey effects on it.
and that's my kid singing at the end of the song, which is pretty creepy.
it's drum loops from garageband.
hey are you beat boxing on this or is the snare drum really muffled....cool song...very moody, almost tool-ish
