Nice groove. I might tweak the title to "With All My Heart (I Will Be There)" just to make it easier for people to find if they're searching - and they will want to hear it again. :D
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.
Always interesting to hear how songs evolve. This stripped down demo version is great too... the forward vocals, acoustic guitar, and sparse drums create quite a different atmosphere.
Great, laid back sound. I like how the tambourine carries the song through, and that staccato violin sound. And yes, amazing guitar solo from Mr. Samford.
You came for the Earth. You stayed for the Wind. That gets you the Fire.
Tim - a voice
Andy - a guitar
Jarrett - A lotta voices, a lotta drums, and a fine, fine, FINE imitation of Michael McDonald.
I've been obsessed with this song since I watched a Rick Beato video that called out how the awesome guitar solo was criminally buried in the mix. Plus, it's yacht rock, and if there's one thing I love, it's yacht rock. So I set out to record…
You wouldn't know if from my uploads over the last few months, but I rarely record covers, mostly because you hear what's WRONG, not what's RIGHT. But I had a theme of Earth, Wind, & Fire for September, so I decided to take on a huge song…
THIS... IS... AMAZING! Has that definite Letter Seventeen style but faithful to the original, right down to the nuances. The synthetic handclaps, the disco guitar in the chorus, great drumming from Jarrett... well done!
September 2023 A-side
We sailed up to the shore some island we don't know
We dropped our anchor then we left the boat
I know we're risking all but this is worth the chance
Just think of all the wealth we'll take back home
We'll be fine…
The August 2023 30 Day Songs prompt came from a list of ChatGPT country song names a friend posted to Facebook. I started off trying to make fun of the genre and instead wrote a song I think I sorta like. Rumor is there's a second mix floating…
The B-side for my July 30DaySongs submission is a cover of a tune I've loved since it came out way back in 1982. Wilsun has been having a rough go if it lately and I recorded this to hopefully cheer him up for a bit.
Marz and I love Crowded House. We were feeling ambitious and took on one of our favorites for the June 30 Day Songs submission.
Tim - guitars, voices, other noises
Marz - vocals and lead guitar
Jarrett Osborn - drums
Tim played and sang everything

This has always been one of my favorite songs and I saw that Ben Kweller's album
"Sha Sha" is turning 20 this year. I needed a b…
Tim - guitars, voices, and other noises
Marz - vocals and lead guitar
Megan Kleven - backing vocals
Marz and I have know one another for over ten years now, but we've never actually recorded anything where we sang together until now. We…
Sounds awesome! Clean, forward, and intimate. Love the acoustic arrangement and all the little touches (tambourine, shaker, fingersnaps). Love the layered vocals too from the three singers.
Groovy! Fun, bouncy bassline... not knowing who Suzy Bannion is, she seems to be running from something (witches?). I'll look it up after leaving this comment.

Stirring...wonderful build and YES melancholy feeling. Dreamy...
Moody and magnificent!

Wow! That was terrific! w;)
Seriously, this is indi film soundtrack gold.
Dude, I love this from the get.
Wow. This is terrific!
wow how did i miss this???
WilSUN. Damn autocorrect.
Good stuff, Wilson! BTW I wrote a review of your album on the RPM site.
I'm digging the instrumentation on this one - it's very lush. You really get sucked right into it.
A beautiful end.
Absolutely stunning songwriting!
This has a more open-road dispersing-clouds feel! I love the la la las! Probably my fave track on this album.
Very cool - those darker notes continue here. This album sounds like the soundtrack to some scary late night club thriller.
Guitar is a great touch here!
Loved this one when I first heard it on the RPM site - really dig the brooding synth flavours!

I love outtakes.
This is a vibe... definitely has that 70's Yacht-Rock sound! Great bg vocals and guitar solo.

Excellent! It's menacing and calming at the same time.
Darn catchy, fun listen!
This friggin' rocks! Love the thick, sludgy, dirty sound. Great mix too. Epic song (both parts)!
back and catchy, love the middle section with the multi vocals and drums coming in.
It's like a loungey version of a Synth-pop classic! Well done, and a very fun listen. Thanks for bring a smile on my face for a bit.
Great cover. Great vocal harmonies. Love the superclean mix. Catchy as heck, really fun listen.
Achingly beautiful, heartfelt delivery, awesome.
Gorgeous soundscape, expansive, calming.
Like "Hey Julie," sounds great with the straightforward, laid back, acoustic arrangements.
Sounds awesome! Clean, forward, and intimate. Love the acoustic arrangement and all the little touches (tambourine, shaker, fingersnaps). Love the layered vocals too from the three singers.
Nice companion to the A-Side (is it using the same chord progression?). Sounds tragic, even a little sinister.
Groovy! Fun, bouncy bassline... not knowing who Suzy Bannion is, she seems to be running from something (witches?). I'll look it up after leaving this comment.
Introspective but almost pop in its bounciness and hummable vocals.
Utterly epic... just listen and drift away.
