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…

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.

I love surf music complete with Fender guitars dripping in lots of spring reverb. This one came out of the clear blue and somehow developed the double-naught spy thing in the process.
Matt plays lead. He's got the surf thing down pat!
Achingly beautiful... love the laid back acoustic feel, gentle acoustic riffing and gentle violin. My favorite track on the album. Very well deserved to be the showcase track in the middle of the album.
Comments on wilsun's stuff
Definitely has that Human League vibe. Back to the mid 80s!
Your voice is awesome! Love the visual story of this song.
Such a lovely and sad tune. Well done
Good Lord… this is spectacular. Wilsun is a modern combination of The Cure and The Smiths and no one knows it.
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!! :)

Awesome outro.
Great surf-rock double single! This one is groovy as heck.
Great surf-rock double single! This one reminds me of "Cecilia Ann."
Very groovy.
Definitely a toe-tapper!
Emotional and beautiful. Great atmosphere and arrangements. An epic and magnificent accomplishment.
Great guitar playing and groovy vibe!

An unsettling, disjointed track... the disoriented feeling matches the subject matter.
A little social commentary about current times? Nice, laid back groovy track that turns into a dancy, synthy outro.
Happy trees, happy clouds... titanium white! Haha... love it! Right up there with "Tony Danza."
Comic books, superheroes, RPG card games, compulsive collecting... a celebration of geekdom! Something a lot of us can relate to.
Really catchy simple first half with handclaps and banjo and then when the rest of the instruments come in... BAM! Really cool.
Matt spittin' rhymes over a catchy beat and lush synths. Love the tongue-in-cheek humor.
Quirky, short acoustic-tinged track. Nice break inbetween tracks on the album.
Bouncy bassline, reggae keys... I hear some Elvis Costello influence in this one. Very catchy.
Epic and utterly beautiful. Awesome opening track.
Humorous, tongue-in-cheek, moody track... very clever.
Amazing, moody track. Love the mix of worldly percussion, electronic keyboards, and piano playing.
Lovely soundscapes. Great mix of gentle acoustic guitar, keyboard, and wind instruments.
