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…

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).

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 W. 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.

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…

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

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.
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.

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