Waldo meets Carmen in a cafe in a small town. Waldo has never left the town he grew up in and she seems very worldly. This attracts him instantly.
What am I waiting for
I’ve opened up the door
Hey, I feel, something come over me
I’ve never…

“The Road” by Wilson Ng, written and recorded in February 2022 for the RPM Challenge.
Outtake from the 2022 RPM Challenge Sessions. 95% of the lyrics are from an AI lyrics songwriting generator, I changed a few lines to fit the song. The entire…
I developed a strong obsession with the building blocks of pop songs and tried to craft one. Unfortunately, I wrote it in a key that was high enough that the combination of the rapid-fire words and the pitch nearly made me pass out while singing…
My 7th song for the 2022 RPM challenge. This one is a bit more pensive and slow moving. I always love adding harmony. I was thinking of Bjork (who I love) when I wrote it. I included some flute so my sister can play along next time we jam…
A tale of two songs and a unicorn. The funky instrumental meets the jazzy bits and then Megan joins in on the singy bits.
I've spent years searching for the proper female singer for my songs. I've referred to it as my quest for a unicorn…
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…
**Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2022**
Song number 3

So, here's today's little ditty.
(I don't know whether folks outside the UK would know what a Chelsea Bun is. I love them, they are extremely yum…
I'm a little perplexed at the narrative, but oh what a great narrative it is. That second verse paints a pretty vivid picture, although I'm a little unsure that being denied pastries is an apt consequence, but then Ive never had a Chelsea Bun.
This started out as a joke from a meme and then, well.....
Wilsun did his best imitation of Bruce Dickenson in the bridge
Dan Upton played the heavy guitars in the bridge and the solo you like
Time to self-assess
You still want to be so…
Some say, "It's the price you gotta pay"
Some say, "You gotta learn to walk away"
But I'm still standing in the light
And I won't go down without a fight
Some say, "True love is just a lie"
Some say, "You'll give it up before you die…
If I told you how well I know you
Would you tell me it's not true
Have you got yourself believing
No one could know you like I do
I know it's been a long time coming
So many others you thought would treat you right
But I'm gonna show you…
**Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2022**

OK, this is a bit of a departure for me - posting songwriting demos.
This is a one mic recording made this morning in the living room, touch of reverbs…
Congratulations on the FAWM "win", especially with only 23 days to do it. A great start as well.
I share the sentiment on production. Part of me wants to do RPM next year because I wonder if I had too, could I move fast on production? It sounds a lot more exhausting than FAWM, that's for sure.
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…

I love the premise of this project! Sweet and catchy chorus and melody. The "I want you in my life" part just seems so honest and heartfelt.
Church of England demands to know why this is not considered album material!
I love it when you sound like Elliott Smith.
Super classy.
Oh this is wonderful! Just a flipping great song!
What the Hell Wilsun... Your outtakes sound better than my actual album. You need to stop being so hard on yourself, this song is excellent!
This song is great! Very fun!
Digging this.
More wonderfulness from Megan - much sweetness to love here.
Very nice work and a beautiful voice.
Well, THAT has a nice sound... Instantly reminds me of Squeeze's Black Coffee in Bed in all the right ways!
Lovely keys - and yes Megan is fantastic!
Ooh! I'm loving that vocal breakdown towards the end - absolutely awesome!

Punk bird rock!
Another great tune just begging for a full band treatment.
Someone needs to give this a full band treatment. You have a serious pop vibe working here.

Haha! That's hilarious. I'm getting a Wings vibe, and I'm not just in that for the pun.
