“Shine” by Wilson Ng, written and recorded in February 2022 for the RPM Challenge.
Outtake from the 2022 RPM Challenge Sessions. Just one of those songs that doesn't seem to work. Wanted to recut the vocals because they were basically scratch…
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!
Woah! Love this. I follow you, so I got the notification, but couldn't remember why... (My brain's going in my old age!) ... But when this started, AH! That's why...

I decided to cover one of Jarrett's songs. Word to the wise - it's harder than you think. Dude uses a lot of inversions and weird chords. So, being me, I kinda-sorta figured out the chords, but not quite, then took to creating my own song that…
This... sounds... awesome! It's like modern retro. The synths, the thin sounding guitars, the dry snare, the flanging, it all sounds great. Fab vocals too.
Glitter and unicorns destroyed my recording device. I used an Ipad from a friend and used garageband to record the whole album with a cheap $5 microphone.
I could have done it on my Iphone as well but my eyes aren't what they used to be... the…
Listened to the whole album; strong melodies, great vocal range. You did all this in two days? Could've fooled me. I get the setup isn't what you would've liked, but I think the whole thing sounds brilliant. Lo-Fi/DIY/what-have-you, I love the simplicity, rawness, spontaneity of it all... and of course, the meta-ness too. Great album title, BTW.
I like Bad Religion. The first album I heard, I remember thinking that it was amazing that there was a smart punk band. Also, I like the way that their songs could work with an acoustic guitar, and still stand.
I thought this had a similar…
Don't let it be said that I've forgotten my love of R.E.M.
Dream of a life that’s never been seen
A world of possibilities, a place in between
A place of shadows, a place of light
A place of secrets, hiding in the night
Oblique, oblique…
Toe tapping catchiness, classic REM sound. I love the repeated guitar riffing throughout the song, and you kept that little pause at 3:24! I think it add a little bit of dynamic and tension at the end of the song.
Yacht rock.
Every time I see your smile
I feel like I’ve come home
And every time you stay a while
Is the best day that I’ve known
You’re the one that lights my way
Brings brightness to my day
And I just have to say
Don’t want it…
This one also has a lilting, melancholy feel to it. Groovy bass! Awesome outro; I love how all the instruments fade out except the cello and flute sounds.
I tried to write a song that sounded sort of like Peter Gabriel. I'm not sure how close I got, but Megan and Jarrett absolutely killed it on this tune.
I can see you in my mind
Like a dream I can’t forget
I’m reaching out to touch you
But…
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).
"Do They Know It's Christmas" written by Geldolf/Ure.
For some reason this one demanded to be written...
So here's to all of us that have been in this situation a time or two! Hugs and love to us all!!!
Feel Just Like A Loner
Verse 1
We sit across the table
We share the same old food…
I completely agree
That it’s harder to fall than leave
You said before you let me kiss you
It’s a wonder that we
Can still fondly remiss, that kiss
The miracle of the red dress
20 years from today
When i’m lying in my grave
My face…
When i was 15 i’d, had enough
Got all my things and, packed them up
Flipped off the whole world, i was so tough
Little did i know things would get so rough
Got so excited to be, on my own
Finally a place that i, could call home
Little…
Despite being interspersed with some light hearted and hilarious moments, this is quite a heavy album. Poignant, reflective, even sad. The acoustic instrumentation matches those particular tracks very well. These songs are easily relatable, which also makes them great. Wonderful album.
I can still taste the pain of how you made me feel
Your only concern was to break my will
Whatever doesn't kill makes you stronger than
My imagination's running how to get vengeance
But at the end of the day, I don't care anyways
You're…
(COVID Salute)
You can pick 'em, you can lick 'em, you can roll them in a ball
You can stack 'em up like waffles 'till they're forty feet tall
You can wipe on your sleeve, you can flick 'em at your friends
You could blow them in a tissue…
If tomorrow you find yourself far away from me
Running to another city
If you don't have the time to hide away with me
Disappear into the scenery
Am I no longer worth
The effort to search
For the life we were dreaming
For the love we…
I know sometimes things just ain't right
Like oil and water we survive
Y'know I don't hate you
Maybe we're too much alike
Push and pull
We'll survive
We're not getting younger these days
And we're both sure and set in our ways
We fight…

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!
Beautiful atmosphere.
Yep. Peak Wilsun here. Great job.
Very good ....
Excellent track ....
Love the massive open sound you get.
Woah! Love this. I follow you, so I got the notification, but couldn't remember why... (My brain's going in my old age!) ... But when this started, AH! That's why...
nice
Boom! Loved it before and now it’s just ear sugar
The new vocals really make this already awesome song shine even more. Well done!
Fantastic! Love the new vocal take!
Love this!
Unce, unce, unce…good fun there Wilsun!
Wilsun, the remix king!
I’m honored to be chopped up and reconstituted so. Great work and great fun! Ow, if you’ll pardon me, I need to go find a shiny shirt.
Glow sticks: check Inhibition defuser: check Dance partner: check All systems go for dance. Great track Wilsun!
Now Entering Funkytown Population: You
Fantastic. Just fantastic!
Wow. That really opens up at 2:00. Great stuff!

Damn catchy and continues with the melancholic vibe, almost danceable too. Great track!
Gentle and melodic melancholy... great opener!
This... sounds... awesome! It's like modern retro. The synths, the thin sounding guitars, the dry snare, the flanging, it all sounds great. Fab vocals too.
This rocks! Love the added vocals!

Great vocals, catchy guitar solo outro. A really fun listen... it's a blast (in every sense of the word)!

So melancholy! I love that repeating high guitar(?) motif throughout the song. Such a great outro!
@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...
Wonderful lyrics, sad but definitely relatable.
Jangly and catch as heck. Awesome middle section.
Love this, melodic and melancholy. Great solo. Quite Cure-like too, reminds me of "Numb."
Sounds great already, demo or not. Amazing vocals!

Brilliant.
Oh my, who hurt you? Seriously, great song, great lyrics, the ultimate kiss off.
Haha, brilliant!
Oh my, the feels.
Great song, it sounds melancholic but hopeful at the same time.
