New original from me, hot off the old wotsit. When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…

First new one from me in a long time. Kind of a love song, I guess. Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering! **** **Shine - A A J Russe** On my way…

The Feast - A A J Russe Written 26th September 1985 Recorded 3rd March 2022 The Shoebox Demos Vol 1 **** This one's been sticking out of the shoebox for a long long while. It always shows up in a list of maybes. And it did this time…

I Hope I Love Them - A A J Russe Written sometime in 1989 Recorded 2nd March 2022 The Shoebox Demos Vol 1 **** This one has tugged at me for many many years. I absolutely adored it from the moment I wrote it in 1989... But I thought…
