It's tough making money in the music biz. Inspired by the song "Cake By The Ocean".
Tim - lead and backing vocals, bass, drum programming, keys. Clarke - backing vocals. Grant - drums. Bob - guitars, backing vocals, beatboxing.
Countin…
Thanks, Gary. All of the credit for the keys (and the awesome stick bass in the verses) goes to Clarke McMurray. He killed it. This song has an odd feature where I'm playing bass in the choruses and Clarke is playing stick in the verses.
Ah. Love that chord progression. I await an album full of these songs. Then again, that would likely make the world would fly off its axis.
Seriously, man, first rate all the way.
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
Falling in love is wonderful, especially when it’s with you
I can’t think of anything that I’d…
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
Brian from A Beautiful Scene sent me the lyrics to his song and said "Do what you want." The lyrics really intrigued me, and I wanted the song to have the rainbow tone palette of colors and sounds that I suspect is the backdrop mentally to his…
My cover of Letter Seventeen's "Who Will Pay", a great song you should also listen to the original version of. Tim sent me the chords and lyrics and said "Interpret as you will." So I did, and here it is.
I'm so glad you finally posted this tremendous version of my song. Your interpretation blows my original out of the water. Thanks for honoring me with this great recording.
Written and recorded as part of our family RPM project this year. :-D
13 year old Jasmine on vocals and ukulele.
We wrote and recorded 10 songs under the name Cattica. It was just the best month of lockdown imaginable.
Wow. That was really great. Thanks for recording this. There's something special about hearing your own song played back through someone else's perspective.
This is a cover of L17's cover of WIlsuns Album Departure. I took out all of the unnecessary bits and the starts and stops. It was like Covering Wilsun's 8 songs, then Tim's eight songs, but also Tim's one big song... Making this like.. 17 covers…
This is a remarkable piece of art. Using the drums from Boys Don't Cry is an inspired bit of brilliance....
And bonus points for the emotional yelling in Goodbye. :)
Cover off of Letter Seventeen's 2020 RPM album. Tried to do the opposite of imitating him, imitating someone else. This was one of the most time consuming songs I have ever done. I manually gated the Kick and Toms which takes a long time(and is…
This is truly wonderful and is a brilliant reinterpretation of our song. In particular, I love the little bit where you double time the kick in the chorus.
A song about my cat, who like many cats can be a total pain in the ass. All things described in this song are true.
Recorded to tape for the RPM Challenge 2019, remastered Oct 2019.
I was expecting a remix of the Conference Of Mayors tune from a couple of years go, but instead got to hear you sing about “touching the love”. Awesome!
This is not about choosing sides, it's about being disillusioned and angry. Feels good to shout behind loud guitars. Thanks Steve Litras for the guitar solo.
Comments on Letter Seventeen's stuff
Love this one. Because let's face it, I don't need to be a millionaire; I'd settle on being a thousandaire.
This weird thing is my favorite. :)
Like this really cool track

Love the various keys parts on this one!
This is a killer collection.
Great song!
remember this one. :)
wow. smoooooooov. very much enjoyed that.
You need help. But please please please don't ever seek it.
Ah. Love that chord progression. I await an album full of these songs. Then again, that would likely make the world would fly off its axis. Seriously, man, first rate all the way.
Dude, your vocals are spot on. Really impressed.
Ah, love that Andy Samford lead guitar. Crazy good as always.
Yes. I am home.
GREAT arrangement.

GREAT harmonies.
Greatest curling song of all time.
Yes! First one in!!! Hail Hail Rock 'n Roll!
Super sweet! Love the Uke!

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!
Check out Mr. Blue-Eyed Soul!
This is my favorite song on the record. Yeah.
Such a joy - combining Brian's great writing with Gary's remarkable musical perspective. Just a lovely song.
I'm so glad you finally posted this tremendous version of my song. Your interpretation blows my original out of the water. Thanks for honoring me with this great recording.
Great work, Drew. Your vocals are just perfect and I love the left/right guitar effect.
Oooh. Pretty!
This is a lot better than my version. Awesome work! FWIW the title is "In The Eye". :P
So lovely. She has an amazing sweetness to her voice.
This is awesome, Alex. I've missed hearing your voice. Excellent work!

You guys knocked it out of the park here.

Living with cats, I can relate.
Keep having fun and keep drumming, Henry. This is a really great song!

Love the harmony bit in the chorus.
