This is what happens when you can't get an internet meme out of your head.
You can leap tall buildings in a single bound
You can save a drowning man
You can stop a bank robber with your kung fu moves
Still, McKayla is not impressed…
This is what is known as a "hostile takeover".
MCOBigBen wrote the song and gave Tim the multitracks.
Tim chopped and edited away, adding guitars, backing vocals, and various production.
Grant added drums.
Ben still hasn't heard it at this point....

Excellent stuff - big smile on my face.
And anyone who can master a tambourine is ok in my book (wretched instrument of the devil that it is lol)(guess who, still, after too many years, can't get a tambourine to do sensible stuff?)
pretty sinister, kind of a NIN groove although the little synth line towards the end made me think of a demented Main Street Electrical Parade thing for a moment for some reason... (for whatever reason?)
Some thoughts on the growth of social media....
E-E A-B
Thank you for telling me that your cat threw up on the rug today, and
Thank you for telling me that Starbucks didn't make your coffee the right way, and
Thank you for telling me that…
There's a story here. One day I'll share it.
G - D - Am7 - C
In the year of upheaval
Pick up and start a life anew
Stare down the possibilities
Wonder what I'm meant to do
Am I the one
Who will be king?
In the year of betrothal
Coming into…
Another 80's flashback
They say the laws of motion
Don't apply to emotions
But I say check your equation
You may not need so much persuasion
If you want to be the one
Who I take home tonight
You should get your back up off the wall
Some things…
My cigar box guitar makes its debut.
This seemed a good idea
But you bit more than you can chew
Now that you've sized things up
It's decision time for you
At this critical juncture
It's time for you to choose
We're waiting for your final word…
Yacht rock, featuring my most forward and forthright vocal ever.
I don't want to believe
It's time for me to go
I don't want to
Walk through that door
'Cause I know if I go
I won't be coming home
I won't be welcome here
Anymore
We can try…

July 2023 B-side. It was laundry day and I was bored.
I want to go out
I want to roam
It's laundry day and
I must stay home
This is so boring
My brain is foam
It's laundry day and
I must stay home
What else can I do today
Tonight…
July 2023 A-side. I was thinking about Black Flag and Sex Pistols for this one.
No more kings or monarchies
We will bring them to their knees
Crowns get tossed into the sea
No rules only anarchy
You might have your throne today
But we…

Recorded and mixed (very quickly and sloppily) on the evening of 4/28/2023 for the “30 Day Songs” project. Everything was recorded on one take. The guitar is out of time at some places, vocals are pitchy and terrible. I wanted so much for this…

When I was a boy, I would ring my nan on the telephone
Numbers in the holes
Spin it round then let it go
Nowadays..
I carry a phone in my pocket
Oh stop it!
Oh where will it end?
When I was a lad
Used a notepad when I wrote thank you…
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…
One of the first songs I wrote for the album. The lyrics are stream of conscience that I don't think mean anything at all. I don't know, maybe they do.
It ends the album purely because the lyrics say "It's over..."
* Disclaimer: I understand…
Still meta... but with the realization that I can do RPM no matter what my hinderance is. I did this whole album with an Ipad, my acoustic, a cheap microphone and a pair of headphones. All the songs were written hastily in minutes with no real…
I feel the keys and pop feel of this one screams of Tim's influences.
Like if we both listened to the same song, this would be my take away vs his.
Lyric content? You guessed it... Meta.
* Disclaimer: I understand that most of the…
Damn you. You out Letter Seventeened me. And you're spot on. If we were given lyrics and chords and told to go write a song this is your version versus mine, but they'd be damn close. I mean, mine would have 30 backing vocals....
Bonus points for the very gratuitous hand claps.
This Wretched Vessel has a lot of post hardcore, Pop punk, punk, and leaning toward metal guitar riffs... but they have a shoegaze side. The only reason I even own a pedalboard is because of their guitarist.
The lyric content is more meta…
This is a lovely piece of emotion. I don't know what you're saying and I don't care. It's a feeling and it comes through.
Seriously? An iPad and a $5 mic? Wow.
The song titles have nothing to do with the lyrics. They were just cool placeholders...then they ended up staying the titles.
* Disclaimer: I understand that most of the songs on this album are pitchy and hard to listen to. I recorded all…
"Hold Me Close" written, recorded, and mixed (very quickly) in three hours on September 13, 2022.

and on this fateful day i'll be
forced apart away from you
my destination i can't see
and i don't know where…
Comments on Letter Seventeen's stuff
Hard time impressing her, lol - I like the thought gone into this song, and the range of instruments.
Oh yeah...dig! w;-)
Likin' this!
Excellent....liking the vibe
Bad ass tuneage! Spankin the 7#9 chord with thick tone. Nice!
Better than the original. I speak with authority here. ;)
groovy

Tambo. Awesomeinfinity.
Has that elusive "Feelgood Factor". Love it.
Cheeky arrangement, wonderful!!!!!!!!!
Such a fun and vibrant track. Love your vocal and the music is wonderful, right up my street. Bethan
I think the tambourine is the true anchor of this tune :-) Great job Tim!
Perfect!
pretty sinister, kind of a NIN groove although the little synth line towards the end made me think of a demented Main Street Electrical Parade thing for a moment for some reason... (for whatever reason?)
"thank you for telling me you worked on your virtual farm today..." LMAO BRILLIANT!
Another great song, the music is really wonderful too. I love the banjo sound.
Lovely full track, well played too. Very, very nice, love it. Foot tapping good!
I like your lyrics, very clever.
Very gentle backing music making a feature of this brave and strong vocal. Pretty guitar outro.
Comments made by Letter Seventeen
Not only do I not hate you for this one, I love it!
You've started using a different approach with your vocals and I really like it.
This is spectacular. The raw emotion really comes through.
Oh man. I love this voice out of you. MORE OF THIS!!!!!
I love the ascending line in the bridge.
OH YEAH! And you met the July bonus challenge for 30DaySongs by including a section in 7/4. Oh so awesome.
Nice work here. You should write "dumb three minute pop songs" more often.
Just lovely. Well done, Mark.
Something made me go listen to this song again... this is just brilliant, Ed. Lovely doesn't begin to describe it.
Wow. this is really quite good, Wilsun. You don't give yourself enough credit.
Is this Anton or is it Ween? Listen for yourself and decide.
The middle eight here is brilliant.
I'm beginning to suspect that Alex is secretly Jim Noire in disguise.
This sounds like a Pixies b-side. That's a compliment.
This is a great to finish out the album.
This almost reminds me an odd cover of The Beautiful South.

I love the "losing s-s-sync" bit.
Good Lord… this is spectacular. Wilsun is a modern combination of The Cure and The Smiths and no one knows it.
