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…
I'm waiting for a package to arrive
I'm sitting idle hoping it's on time
It's not good for my health
I'm losing patience with myself but
I'm waiting for a package to arrive
Waiting for things to arrive
Brian from A Beautiful Scene sent me the lyrics to his song and said "Do what you want." The lyrics really intrigued me, and I wanted the song to have the rainbow tone palette of colors and sounds that I suspect is the backdrop mentally to his…
My cover of Letter Seventeen's "Who Will Pay", a great song you should also listen to the original version of. Tim sent me the chords and lyrics and said "Interpret as you will." So I did, and here it is.
I'm so glad you finally posted this tremendous version of my song. Your interpretation blows my original out of the water. Thanks for honoring me with this great recording.
Written and recorded as part of our family RPM project this year. :-D
13 year old Jasmine on vocals and ukulele.
We wrote and recorded 10 songs under the name Cattica. It was just the best month of lockdown imaginable.
Wow. That was really great. Thanks for recording this. There's something special about hearing your own song played back through someone else's perspective.
This is a cover of L17's cover of WIlsuns Album Departure. I took out all of the unnecessary bits and the starts and stops. It was like Covering Wilsun's 8 songs, then Tim's eight songs, but also Tim's one big song... Making this like.. 17 covers…
This is a remarkable piece of art. Using the drums from Boys Don't Cry is an inspired bit of brilliance....
And bonus points for the emotional yelling in Goodbye. :)
Cover off of Letter Seventeen's 2020 RPM album. Tried to do the opposite of imitating him, imitating someone else. This was one of the most time consuming songs I have ever done. I manually gated the Kick and Toms which takes a long time(and is…
This is truly wonderful and is a brilliant reinterpretation of our song. In particular, I love the little bit where you double time the kick in the chorus.
A song about my cat, who like many cats can be a total pain in the ass. All things described in this song are true.
Recorded to tape for the RPM Challenge 2019, remastered Oct 2019.
I was expecting a remix of the Conference Of Mayors tune from a couple of years go, but instead got to hear you sing about “touching the love”. Awesome!
This is not about choosing sides, it's about being disillusioned and angry. Feels good to shout behind loud guitars. Thanks Steve Litras for the guitar solo.
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.

This is great! I’m pretty sure my recording of Wilsun’s entire album last year was shorter than this song. 😂
This sounds like an 80s metal power ballad, and I mean that in all the best possible ways.
I swear your Green Day mode sounds so much like them it's scary. Fun little tune!
Check out Mr. Blue-Eyed Soul!
This is my favorite song on the record. Yeah.
Such a joy - combining Brian's great writing with Gary's remarkable musical perspective. Just a lovely song.
I'm so glad you finally posted this tremendous version of my song. Your interpretation blows my original out of the water. Thanks for honoring me with this great recording.
Great work, Drew. Your vocals are just perfect and I love the left/right guitar effect.
Oooh. Pretty!
This is a lot better than my version. Awesome work! FWIW the title is "In The Eye". :P
So lovely. She has an amazing sweetness to her voice.
This is awesome, Alex. I've missed hearing your voice. Excellent work!

You guys knocked it out of the park here.

Living with cats, I can relate.
Keep having fun and keep drumming, Henry. This is a really great song!

Love the harmony bit in the chorus.
