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!

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…

from the album "Flooded" featuring Ash Reynolds on vocals
just for once
let the loss
fall away
from me now
try to see
the good in you
through the haze
of the world
I wanted to save you
From yourselves
But I forgot to first save me…
from the album "Flooded" featuring Ash Reynolds on vocals
She’s grey outside
She’s very sad
She starts to cry
It’s looking bad
The frozen ground
Won’t let her in
Yet on it comes
The flood begins
The road ahead
Has warning signs
say…
Comments on wilsun's stuff
One from back in the day ….. you’ve done a good job with 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.
this is fun, put a smile on my face!
I'm not familiar with the Manics, but, this jams, nice job Wilsun!
Oh man. I love this voice out of you. MORE OF THIS!!!!!
oooohhh. Love the dark, mysterious vibe. I'm a huge OMD fan. You did this justice.
Great tune! Love the jangly guitar vibes and cool Eno-esque backing synths. Reminds me of James "Laid" style stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work here. You should write "dumb three minute pop songs" more often.
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!

There is a bold move in purposely have dissonance be the intro of a song. You are nailing the Robert Smith.
Wow. this is really quite good, Wilsun. You don't give yourself enough credit.

Nailed the New Order vibe
Problematically addicting. VERRRRRRY nice.
@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...
one mo' time......
Man, I wanna add to it. Good job.

Wow... what a voice! Passionate and emotive.
Utterly beautiful.
Love this one! Very melancholy.
