I so want this to be the single... I don't care it is six and half minutes... It is like a showcase for every player in your band. And your bass player is getting tight and more intricate which I absolutely adore!
I wish someone told me that we were doing 90's Depeche Mode style dance songs this year... I would have joined in. You and Jarrett crushed it this year with the moody dance vibe.
Has almost a "Night Begins to Shine" vibe. Which means my kids also love it.
Written for the April 2020 RPM mini-challenge. I hoped for an EP and ended up with a single song. The song is largely recorded on a T25 mic I built for Brian of A Beautiful Scene as a means to test the mic. It's pretty solid if you ask me…
This song is great, I didn't understand it at first but after a listen through some of your songs and reading a couple of forums on RPM this is one of the most fantastic things I have heard.
One thing I like about covers is turning a song on its head, so that's what I did with this tune from the great ABS album "The Far Side Of Paradise". I hope I made Lane proud.

“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!
The random wisdom of bar room philosophers, and the magic of sipping whiskey in a darkened room.

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...
I so want this to be the single... I don't care it is six and half minutes... It is like a showcase for every player in your band. And your bass player is getting tight and more intricate which I absolutely adore!
This sounds like a Keith Landry Cover. Oh, hey there he is!

Love that bridge, so glad you kept those guitars! Love the chatter in the end, I love this song too.
The bass line rocks! Love your mixes, everything is so clear and every part has its place!
Love the guitars!
Right on!
Nice! This rocks!
This is such a great song, Tim.
Awesome outro.
Always such great stuff Tim!!!!
this is very very nice.
Yup. This is my favorite so far - but you likely knew I'd like this one best when you recorded it.
This song is great, I didn't understand it at first but after a listen through some of your songs and reading a couple of forums on RPM this is one of the most fantastic things I have heard.
Horray! I didn't realise you'd uploaded this corking album, obviously love this track. Pepsi and I were singing it for weeks. :)
Lane says "meh" But I bet my Mom likes it better than my track, so you get points there.

You turned my song on it’s head in the most delightful way! I think I like your version better than my own.
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!
