I am also a fan of basically taking another song and turning it into your own song. Good idea and good job!

I don't know the original, but this was well done and well produced, the sounds and the mix are all great!

The juxtopation of these two songs is perfect, the ugliness of the first intro of harsher nature into a neatly wrapped tune of beautiful melody. Coming into My Butterfly that feels like something Smith should have done in the first place. The completion of the thought from old to new is a wonderful idea. Great job Wilsun! --- *SORRY! *DR* Wilsun!

There is a bold move in purposely have dissonance be the intro of a song. You are nailing the Robert Smith.

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…

No apologies—that was awesome. Nailed the middle 8. Got the St. Denis lyric (I always wondered whether it was intelligible or not). The slower tempo evokes the heartache better than the original, and sweet baby Jesus was that falsetto great. The one take approach makes it immediate, like a text message, which is kinda what the song was built off. I’m touched. Thanks for a much-needed cheer-up.

"Always (Again Remix)" recorded in February 2023 for the RPM Challenge. New recording of an old song with different arrangements. Originally started as a joke in response to Tim (of Letter Seventeen) asking AI to write a song (not) about airplanes…

Quick and dirty cover version of the (in)famous (and questionably inappropriate) 1984 charity single, "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Recorded for the 2018 Holiday Challenge (I think). "Do They Know It's Christmas" written by Geldolf/Ure.

@Eternal, I don't often check Alonetone so sorry about missing your message, but feel free to add to it! I don't think it was played in time though...

Version of "Auld Lang Syne" inspired by the arrangements from "Hard Times" by The Human League. I originally recorded a version of this track for the 2016 RPM Holiday Challenge; but I revisited and re-recorded it on 12/15/2022 with new equipment…

Definitely has that Human League vibe. Back to the mid 80s!

Good Lord… this is spectacular. Wilsun is a modern combination of The Cure and The Smiths and no one knows it.

Happy 43rd birthday to "Boys Don't Cry," released on June 15, 1979. Here's a simple and dirty acoustic cover version, recorded somewhere between Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 (I think...). I wasn't feeling well at the time and my voice was shot…

43 is not an anniversary but sounds good.

“Unfinished-1” by Wilson Ng, written and recorded in February 2022 for the RPM Challenge. Outtake from the 2022 RPM Challenge Sessions. Meant to have lyrics but had writer's block and ran out of time. Remains an unfinished instrumental.

This brings me back to R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion." The strings building through the track is a very nice touch.
