A true story about some of my odd dreams
If the world's strongest man
Could hold the world in the palm of his hand
Would he crush us all into dust?
As a way to punish us
These are the kind of things
That seem to occupy me
If a giant…
The story of a car crash.
Had the dream again this morning
Pictured just how it would be
Saw it moving in slow motion
Felt it rushing up to me
And suddenly it's happening
I can't seem to make myself believe
Clench my fists
Lose my…
My first RPM cover of 2011. This one is "Like This" by The Missed Connections. I seem to have taken a darker turn with the song than Amelia did. It wasn't intentional, but it seems to be what I do when I cover her songs.

Do you wonder
What became of me?
Cause I wonder
What became of you
Since you wandered
Wandered far away
Full of wonder
I couldn't make you stay
So I wonder what became of you
Did you do the things you had to do?
Will you find your…
This is a love song for my wife.
I want to be
Your honey bee
And you could be the only bee for me
Monogamy
For you and me
You, my little sweetheart
Monagabee
Life would be so happy, you see
If you would be the only bee for me

The story of a workplace experience. And an ultimate fighting match.
Killer bassline by Ian Tanner. Drums by Grant Muller. Backing vocals by Clarke McMurray.
Hey there Mr. Flashy Pants
Hey there voice of thunder
As you lie there flat on…
Yep, you're right about it being a killer bass-line.
The vocals are pretty stand-out as well :-)
Initially, I wasn't sure whether your vocal delivery was fitting the songs, but this one showed me why it works so well. It's almost like we've got David Gates singing punk songs here... lol. The contrast really brings out the emotions in the lyrics. If you tried to sound "angrier" we'd actually lose some of the power...
A very bitter account of leaving a job.
Don't burn the bridge they say
Yet here I stand any way
With a can of gas and a match
In my hand
Thinking how after all this time
Still not sure what's yours and what's mine
And neither of us is…

The (mostly) true story of my friend DAVe and his quest to finish college.
You laid down the challenge
You said you want to hear a song about a donkey again
Well, I'm here to tell you
I have a little story about my friend
He put himself…

Chester Arthur was the president
But no one remembers him
What about you?
He served a term with no vice president
And no one resident
To tell him what to do
He came to office by a bullet's grace
Garfield lost his place
And Arthur took…

“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…
Cool mood and vibe. I'll echo an earlier comment about this being the most accessible of your songs, but that's not a bad thing. This reminds me of something from a Brian Ferry album.
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…
Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides
To a paper circle at the end of both sides
Between the speakers, cover in hand
Sit in silence after Jungleland
I will not trade one bit of my soul for their pieces of gold
I've seen a world they'll…
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…
Man... that percussion just embeds itself into your soul. It's a hypnotic joy and makes me think of an electronic version of "Fool's Gold" by Stone Roses.
Great work this year, my friend!

And a nice one to finish. The whole album is an excellent piece of work.
Big smile on my face listening to this. Superbly recorded vocals and guitars by the way.
I love this one.

Great song, fine guitar work. Is that a Rickenbaker bass you are playing?
Still my favourite from this solid album. Great stuff Tim.
That is such a cracking chorus!
Lovely, and a nice change of pace for the closer. Good choice there.
Excellent! Really like the idea behind this. Nice tune, well performed.
Well I enjoy the noises you make :) I like this one a lot, I'll have to explore your other stuff.
Ahh, that's nice.
Hooky, great vocals, especially where there are two together.
Really good song, very catchy.. Wife keeps telling me to shut up and stop humming it as we make dinner. MJ
Love it.......

I fail to understand why you consider this unworthy of inclusion on an album. This is Wilsun at the peak of his powers.
Cool mood and vibe. I'll echo an earlier comment about this being the most accessible of your songs, but that's not a bad thing. This reminds me of something from a Brian Ferry album.
I love it when you sound like Elliott Smith.
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.
Excellent polished sound here, Keith.
Excellent backing vocals here.
Glad to have you back, D. Rockin' tune.
There goes Moody putting us all in our place again. Just remarkable. Absolutely remarkable.
Man... that percussion just embeds itself into your soul. It's a hypnotic joy and makes me think of an electronic version of "Fool's Gold" by Stone Roses. Great work this year, my friend!
Beautiful atmosphere.
Yep. Peak Wilsun here. Great job.
This is a tremendous piece of work, Matt. You should feel very proud of what you've produced here.
Wow. Really great stuff, Brian. Great space and mood.
The new vocals really make this already awesome song shine even more. Well done!
Check out Mr. phasey-voice.
So awesome!
I do loves me some DKM harmonies!
Very cool vibe!
Great closer and a great way to finish out the arc of the record. This a really wonderful EP, Ed.
