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…
“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.

You've got outtakes?! With my FAWM, it was "done, don't like it, but hey, chuck it in the pot" LOL ... Loving the vibe of this one... and I'm glad I'm not the only one going "awkward vocal/lyrics" and other folks go "hey it's cool!!!!"
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!
RPM. Month of concessions. I had lots of ideas, and they all seemed to fall apart. Time was not in abundance. Glad this was a leap year, for me to squeeze this out in a few hours after work.
VERSE I
I don’t want to wait, till the end, to have you
And I know you’re the one, fill me up, when I’m through
Cause you completely satisfied me even before I’m done
And you’ll be right beside me even when I run
And I know it’s my fault…
VERSE I
I come from the cold
I need you to knead me
Stretch me, I take form
Need you to complete me
Pr CH
Cause you, you make
Me all I am and all that I should be
Chorus
With all that you are craving for
I don't know where I fit…
VERSE I
We have some decisions to make
On how to sustain our lives tonight
I have a feeling you already know
I have some catching up to do
We’ve had better thoughts
Than this bottom shelf idea tonight
The iron is ready go
Let’s get this…
VERSE I
Lettuce in first
To build a foundation
Everything else is up to you
It these choices
that you make, pour it on
that create the moment you have waited for
PRE CH
These tines, plunging in
CHORUS
And we are all so intricate…
It's a b-side song for RPM 2024, mostly because I needed a second song in order to create a playlist here.
I need a b-side songs for the flip side
A b-side song to prove that I tried
To put in the effort, to get things done
To try to…
I needed to keep the streak alive.
15 years of RPM.
But life has been in the way. Considerably. It's not worth getting into, but music is currently so far down the priority list it's not even funny.
But I found time on the 28th to…
Everywhere I go, there's so much noise
They try to tell you you'll be fine if you purchase their new toys
But nothing on this Earth I've ever found
Can bring me back to life when the world's run me down
When nothing else can make it right…
The first lines of the chorus just crept into my head.
I had to write the rest.
ALL IN
You've been holding back for so long now
And I've been losing track of how many times I've written my vows
It feels like you're sleeping behind the…
A lifetime of laughter when you were just kids
And all that came after the silly things you both did
Those times are long, long gone like they ran off and hid
Then the world got bigger with other places to play
And getting so caught up in…
Reg has just realised he's living the dream he's just not sure what that dream is but he's having fun with it.....Hope you all had a good Christmas and here's to the New Year ...Keep Dreaming
Living the Dream
I was living in Memphis just…
Sometimes writing a song is the very best and only thing you can do....
Cold Winter Moon
Oh cold winter moon
And the wind that blows
Bring me a change
For my weary soul
Take away this longing
That fills my heart
Something is over…
I don't know about you, but when I think "thanksgiving", I totally think "death metal"!
We boil the carcass to kill all the bacteria
The flesh is rotting we must be one step ahead
212 degrees more for more brutality
We boil the carcass…
It's October and that means time for ghost stories. This one came out of a couple of songs posted last month in Hungarian Minor. I found that to be a spooky scale, so I built on it for a couple of songs this month.
October 2023 A-side? It started with the stupid singsong thing I remember hearing as a kid and then mutated into Meshuggah... with a special cameo at the end of the track.
Comments on wilsun's stuff
Interesting to see where it started and where it ended up!
43 is not an anniversary but sounds good.
This brings me back to R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion." The strings building through the track is a very nice touch.
Me likey the overlapping verses.
Not too shabby
this is better than all the other things you did this month.
i love you wilson, but you're trying too hard to make people not like you
I fail to understand why you consider this unworthy of inclusion on an album. This is Wilsun at the peak of his powers.
I'm glad I'm not alone on liking this one :)
Church of England demands to know why this is not considered album material!
Oh this is wonderful! Just a flipping great song!
What the Hell Wilsun... Your outtakes sound better than my actual album. You need to stop being so hard on yourself, this song is excellent!
This song is great! Very fun!
Digging this.
It's a gorgeous sound.
Hey it's cool!! :)

Beautiful atmosphere.
Yep. Peak Wilsun here. Great job.

It's funny because it's true.
Nice soundscapes. Kind of ominous and mysterious.
This rocks. Awesome chorus.
Love this. Wistful and melancholy.
Oh my, this is lovely! Tuneful and melancholy. Love the sparse arrangement, awesome vocals.
Very anthemic, awesome closer.
Great vocals on this one.
Love the drums and guitar sounds on this.
Darn, that chorus is catchy as heck.
Meta-brilliance, redux!
This is brilliant. Meta, but brilliant, nevertheless. Great, clean sound too. A simple arrangement of acoustic guitar and vocal can work so well.
Great sound on this, lots of space. Love the call and response outro. Excellent EP, Keith!
Love the guitar sound on this, crisp and clear. Heartbreaking lyrics.
Heartfelt and poetic, nicely done!
Great optimism, keep living the dream.
Oh how poignant! Wonderful vocals too.
"Can't I just stay home this time..." Same, dude... same.
LOL... this... is... amazing!
ooh, what a fun listen! Definitely got the Halloween vibes going.
Haha... this is awesome! Brought a smile to my face.
