I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…

Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
Oh yeah. Great rocker and what fantastic vocal work. Love those guitars and I love the lecherous lyrics. Does not sound over-cooked to me, Andy; in fact it sounds bloody great with just the right amount of limiting.

Here's the very latest from the broom-cupboard.
I wrote it one dark night over 23 years ago.

I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…
I wrote this thing in 1994. When I played it to some friends back then they went "yeah, but where's the rest of it?"
I've been struggling with that concept ever since. Then, a while ago, a couple of kindly souls removed that worry from me…
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…
your recordings i have heard are all impeccable... excellent... you gave me some tips on eq on SC that I have been applying....really makes a huge difference....thanks

I feel I should donate something as I've recently downloaded all of your alone-tone catalogue and must say I've been O-D ing on you most of the afternoon and I haven't come across a bad track yet (there's got be one surely where you suck and its badly recorded.... go on put one up for us mere mortals where we can say " Well he's not perfect is he?") love your work Bravo and Thank you
A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

Hey, I was just describing the love of my life. The girl I write all those sad songs about...gone, 13 years now and she is still ever-present in my thoughts.

Now here's a bit of an oldie - the second song I ever wrote. In... 1978!
I think I played it once, or maybe twice, at school assemblies. My musical peers and colleagues back then dismissed it as corny/rancid pop music…
A quick and simple improvisational acoustic tune recorded on my iPhone with Garage Band. Originally meant only as an audio test of my new Apogee One interface, I thought it was catchy enough to post. I called it "Spring" only because I couldn…
This one dates back to 1992 or 93 or so. It falls in the wasted years between the end of the band I started playing with in high school and the band I started playing in after leaving college. It was played by a bunch of short lived bands in…
One of the few songs on my March Music list that entirely came from March, at least in terms of the music. The lyrics were written in May, but who's counting.
The guitar solos were played on my new Strat. It feels so weird.
The title comes…
Woof!
This is the first thing I've listened to on my new laptop - sounds like I'm listening on one of those little transistor radios in the early 70s!! (Except in stereo)
Think I needs me headphones...
Rocking good stuff :)
Still trying to get the hang of playing Bass ...i can't seem to put it down now.....anyway this is tonights effort....
JUST LET IT FLOW
one day i’m up
another i’m down
most days i’m just floating around
my head don’t know what my body wants…
so begins my love,
you'll feel my heart
you will know this time,
this turn is mine
i love you, you know i do
what happens now it's always true
so now this time,
you will see that my love won't die
so begins our life,
will never…
seem to forget
nothing i had
is all there is
to regret
lost since my youth
in spite of it too
my dreams
will come true
all this time that you will find
i believe that i will fly
across the world
for you
now you will see
all…

Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Like this very much...really tight mix, and love the drum sound....
It's fun to hear how you just find these gems in the shoe box.
Back for another listen and now I just want to dance around the kitchen to this all day. I’d fav this again if it would let me!
Love that country zeppelin swing thing here... an instant fav! What a shoe box!!!
Top notch Andrew ...... again ...... : )
Oh yeah. Great rocker and what fantastic vocal work. Love those guitars and I love the lecherous lyrics. Does not sound over-cooked to me, Andy; in fact it sounds bloody great with just the right amount of limiting.
"Records in small room with curtains closed while wife cowers in the next room with headphones on…" cracked me up! ha....sounds familiar!
killer sound...love this....especially the bass and guitars...actually all of it! very cool....
the clock got me....looking on the wall to see where it was... good story!
your recordings i have heard are all impeccable... excellent... you gave me some tips on eq on SC that I have been applying....really makes a huge difference....thanks
pure and talented.... regards...stephen
Nice !
Oh yes! from the composition, sonic quality, standard of playing and lyrics to the overall positive and catchy tune this one kicks arse!

Good keys, the strings and piano are a new sound coming my way Well done
Nicely done too
Exactly!

Oh man, Andy, will you stop breaking my heart?!
It's so warm, the music reminds me of Elton John's recordings.
Comments made by Andrew Russe
Aw... magnificent vibe to this. LIKE!
A tele and a strat - all you need! Love the sounds. Nice playing too.
Oooh! Like it.
Worth every second
Nice one. It's quite amusing, I'm a life-long strat user, but I'm playing an ES 335 and an SG most of the time now!
Like it. The new strat might feel weird, but it sounds like it knows what it's doing!
Does the business :)
Oh yeah. I think my laptop's speakers have been christened now!
Woof! This is the first thing I've listened to on my new laptop - sounds like I'm listening on one of those little transistor radios in the early 70s!! (Except in stereo) Think I needs me headphones... Rocking good stuff :)
:) YEAH Love it
Don't know the original, but I loved this.
Tasty track. Like it.
Nice one. There's something very satisfying about playing a bass, isn't there?
Liking what you've posted so far. Looking forward to hearing more.
I kinda like this too - even after I'd realised "that's all it was". And then it went off quietly... Wonderful sound.
Oh yes
LOL It was called "R 3" when I started listening... I thought I recognised them drums/geetars :)
My my... there's a whole lotta of rocking been going on this weekend!
There's a whole lotta dust coming off that reclining chair...
Oh yeah...
