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
And…

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…

Can you hide in happiness
Can you disguise the sadness in your voice
Could you play only major chords
Can you hide in happiness
Choose a part of you to show
And no one around you can know
Just how deep the scars go
Can you hide in…
Now with more awesomeness! Thank you to This Wretched Vessel Lead vocalist for adding in some Gang vocals to beef up the chorus. Also borrowing their percussionist for some tambourine to give the song some extra pop!
You know I can’t think…

This is like a lost Railway Children song from a session where they were letting one of the other guys sing for once. Nice work, and it features your usual upbeat lyrical content! :)

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

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.......

Great energy and great fun.
I totally want to see the movie trailer this should accompany! Major bonus points for the trumpet, too.
Apparently Ed likes the Allman Brothers. Who knew?
Excellent song and killer guitar tones!
Such a catchy chorus! At times you really remind me of Eleanor Friedberger.
I love hearing you embrace your pop sensibilities. Another home run.
Wow. This is really great. The key are perfect and the affected vocal sounds amazing. And then some perfectly placed drum bits. Well done!
Whoa. The revision with the new backing vocals is really great!

Great space and sound, sir. I look forward to hearing this in context of the larger story.
I wish this were four times longer. So, you know, like two minutes long.
Man... there's something about your melodic choices that I just adore. Nice work!
Wilsun, the remix king!
I’m honored to be chopped up and reconstituted so. Great work and great fun! Ow, if you’ll pardon me, I need to go find a shiny shirt.
Great voice and a great bit of talent here. Your EP is quite excellent. Keep up the great work!
Spectacular! There's sort of an Eleanor Friedberger vibe to this that I really love. MORE PLEASE!
Wow. That really opens up at 2:00. Great stuff!
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!
