Finally remembered to log in (yeah, the comments on the other tracks were me). I always do especially love the stripped-down singer-songwriter tracks. This is one of the best.
A love song for my wife
Falling in love is wonderful, especially when it’s with you
It happens all over every day, seems the right thing to do

Trying out new names and every one is taken
You think this is easy?, Well my friend you’d be mistaken

A song about exactly how ugly local politics can be.
It’s time to play the blame game
Another chance for calling people names

Countin' dem pennies from youtube clips
As I try to get rich in the music biz
Stream this, click that, a download or two
These days it seems it’s what we all do

Hope to get enough so I can pay…

1. Master of disco gtr 2. love the breakdown. 3. My new fav L17 song. 4. It’s like the Talking Heads, Devo and the B52s are having a conversation about Kendrick Lamar lyrics at a screening of Saturday Night Fever.

July 2023 B-side. It was laundry day and I was bored.
I want to go out
I want to roam
It's laundry day and
I must stay home
This is so boring
My brain is foam
It's laundry day and
I must stay home
What else can I do today
Tonight…
July 2023 A-side. I was thinking about Black Flag and Sex Pistols for this one.
No more kings or monarchies
We will bring them to their knees
Crowns get tossed into the sea
No rules only anarchy
You might have your throne today
But we…

Recorded and mixed (very quickly and sloppily) on the evening of 4/28/2023 for the “30 Day Songs” project. Everything was recorded on one take. The guitar is out of time at some places, vocals are pitchy and terrible. I wanted so much for this…

When I was a boy, I would ring my nan on the telephone
Numbers in the holes
Spin it round then let it go
Nowadays..
I carry a phone in my pocket
Oh stop it!
Oh where will it end?
When I was a lad
Used a notepad when I wrote thank you…
Hello.
Well Hello!
Hello Pillow,
How do you do?
I'm doing mighty fine thank you,
How about you?
Fancy a snooze?
Let's go to sleep right now x 3
Right now. Night now.
Hello.
Hello Pillow,
And what a shitter of a day.
Never…
One of the first songs I wrote for the album. The lyrics are stream of conscience that I don't think mean anything at all. I don't know, maybe they do.
It ends the album purely because the lyrics say "It's over..."
* Disclaimer: I understand…
Still meta... but with the realization that I can do RPM no matter what my hinderance is. I did this whole album with an Ipad, my acoustic, a cheap microphone and a pair of headphones. All the songs were written hastily in minutes with no real…
I feel the keys and pop feel of this one screams of Tim's influences.
Like if we both listened to the same song, this would be my take away vs his.
Lyric content? You guessed it... Meta.
* Disclaimer: I understand that most of the…
Damn you. You out Letter Seventeened me. And you're spot on. If we were given lyrics and chords and told to go write a song this is your version versus mine, but they'd be damn close. I mean, mine would have 30 backing vocals....
Bonus points for the very gratuitous hand claps.
This Wretched Vessel has a lot of post hardcore, Pop punk, punk, and leaning toward metal guitar riffs... but they have a shoegaze side. The only reason I even own a pedalboard is because of their guitarist.
The lyric content is more meta…
This is a lovely piece of emotion. I don't know what you're saying and I don't care. It's a feeling and it comes through.
Seriously? An iPad and a $5 mic? Wow.
The song titles have nothing to do with the lyrics. They were just cool placeholders...then they ended up staying the titles.

"Hold Me Close" written, recorded, and mixed (very quickly) in three hours on September 13, 2022.

In the greater scheme of this vast universe, we're just invisible specks. Something to remember as we trip through this bizarre human life of ours. Recorded for the August 2022, RPM Record Every Month Challenge.
This one is short and to the point. Dedicated to those with with guts to fly in the face of conformity and live their best life. I try but it's hard to detox after all these years. Recorded as part of the August 2022 RPM - Record Every Month challenge…

GREAT arrangement.

GREAT harmonies.
Greatest curling song of all time.
Yes! First one in!!! Hail Hail Rock 'n Roll!
Super sweet! Love the Uke!
Heard this on the RPM2016 jukebox. Genius!
great album, nice sounds, disappointed from the lack of hand claps. Awesome Job!
LUV XOXOXO
love this.
I love the backing voxes and the gtr riff parts in this. GREAT song...
Kille chorus...
I know the feeling, silly love songs yeah!
Very enjoyable album :)
1. Master of disco gtr 2. love the breakdown. 3. My new fav L17 song. 4. It’s like the Talking Heads, Devo and the B52s are having a conversation about Kendrick Lamar lyrics at a screening of Saturday Night Fever.
Sweet song. Love the uke.
I like the sound of them keys!
Great backing vocals on this.
Nice!
Love the Chorus!

Oh man. I love this voice out of you. MORE OF THIS!!!!!
I love the ascending line in the bridge.
OH YEAH! And you met the July bonus challenge for 30DaySongs by including a section in 7/4. Oh so awesome.
Nice work here. You should write "dumb three minute pop songs" more often.
Just lovely. Well done, Mark.
Something made me go listen to this song again... this is just brilliant, Ed. Lovely doesn't begin to describe it.
Wow. this is really quite good, Wilsun. You don't give yourself enough credit.
Is this Anton or is it Ween? Listen for yourself and decide.
The middle eight here is brilliant.
I'm beginning to suspect that Alex is secretly Jim Noire in disguise.
This sounds like a Pixies b-side. That's a compliment.
This is a great to finish out the album.
This almost reminds me an odd cover of The Beautiful South.

I love the "losing s-s-sync" bit.
Good Lord… this is spectacular. Wilsun is a modern combination of The Cure and The Smiths and no one knows it.
Don't look now, there's a Brian on the dance floor. :) This reminds me of the Stones in their disco phase. Very cool stuff.
It starts off as a lost Cars track and then turns into a really cool indie rocker. Awesome!
You turned my song on it’s head in the most delightful way! I think I like your version better than my own.
