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).

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.
“The Road” by Wilson Ng, written and recorded in February 2022 for the RPM Challenge.
Outtake from the 2022 RPM Challenge Sessions. 95% of the lyrics are from an AI lyrics songwriting generator, I changed a few lines to fit the song. The entire…

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…

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.
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 :)

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.
