Brian wrote a song.
Wilsun covered it.
Wilsun gave me his Garageband file.
I teamed up with a robot orchestra and we made this.
Hopefully Brian and Wilsun will like it.

A lot of interesting things happening in that orchestra, great remix of an already great cover! Way to exploit Wilsun's awesome voice and push it out onto it's own!
Matt Ferrara doesn't get enough love around here. He's a brilliant arranger and lyricist and it's rare, if ever, that someone covers one of his songs. So I set out to correct that. As usual, it's faster than the original because, well, it's…

My contribution to the Angie Fights Crime album "Sunny, Sorta..." AFC wrote the lyrics and chords, then gave me free reign to do what I wanted from there.
I tried some very out of character things with the guitar. I think they worked…

RPM. Month of concessions. I had lots of ideas, and they all seemed to fall apart. Time was not in abundance. Glad this was a leap year, for me to squeeze this out in a few hours after work.

Wow. You really nailed that intro!
Quick story: my high school girlfriend was obsessed with this song. She once played it on a loop for 54 hours straight (CD players had just become affordable and that repeat button was just too much for her to resist). When I came over to see her she was a little..... frayed. She really wasn't much of a goth, but she loved this song and the movie The Hunger. Okay, so maybe she was a little bit of a goth.
October 2023 A-side? It started with the stupid singsong thing I remember hearing as a kid and then mutated into Meshuggah... with a special cameo at the end of the track.
The first lines of the chorus just crept into my head.
I had to write the rest.
ALL IN
You've been holding back for so long now
And I've been losing track of how many times I've written my vows

More than 10 years later and I still love this song.
Great remix, love the string heavy outro! Interesting to hear the vocals more upfront as well.
Nice

Sounds great Tim!
Wow, I’m honored and really love the Cure vibes you brought into the outro!
Definitely not “mangled.” Far from it! Love how I can hear both your style and Wilsun’s
Not mangled at all! Captures the spirit of the song but with an L17 twist. I'm honored, thank you!
Kickass version! Love a good cover of a Wilsun tune!
Love the song; the additions are cool!
utter lack of talent
Every [thing] in Pacific [other thing] is stuck in my head forever. Thanks a lot.
Something about a circle brought me to this song. Great tune! Now I am going t be up all night thinking about this!
A slice of delicious sunshine, the whole album. Wouldn't expect anything else from you, Tim!
Splendid and bonkers.
Never mind the Cs in Pacific Ocean, tonight I'll be agonising over the connection between person woman man camera tv...
Hahaha! Ace!
Slinky like cats
Holy grunge disco, batman!
Okay, I spoke too soon on Hiding in Plain Sight... THIS is it. Holy Hell, I think I know how Brian Wilson felt after hearing Elenor Rigby...

This is quite awesome.
I'm with Keith. I think I prefer this version.
You did it again. Of course you did.
Yeah... we need to talk about how you get those bass sounds.
Fair. True. But seriously.... no one should ever record an acoustic guitar via the pickup. It should be declared a crime.
I do loves me some cheap guitars.....
I sold my Neve and I use the SSL more than the ToneBeast these days, but my last recordings were an SM7 straight into the interface. So there!
But my mic **IS** better than your mic!
This is quite lovely.
A very cool soundscape here. Nicely done.

And you finish it out with loungy goodness. This is a fabulous set of songs for October. Bonus points for the great harmonies.
Spooky, but also more fun!
Awesome work, Ed! This song is all kinds of fun!
Very cool!
This is quite spectacular. You took the song someplace different and Andy is a rock star, but we all already knew that.
Nice work, Keith.
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.
