And here's another song from 1994, with a sparkling new "Andrew Russe Band" arrangement fresh from the broom-cupboard.
Like most of my songs, it was written with an acoustic guitar, a pen, and an A4 pad. The ones…
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.

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…

And here is the first reply to In Your Hands.
I say "first" because I've found another one, When I Try To Be Me, that Mrs R says I have to do too... but that's unlikely to be the next one I post because I'm working…
I'll try again. lost the comment. I said, I love the clean guitar and vocal. Why don't we ask more questions. We make such lousy assumptions. Sometimes e find out too late.

Love is always a teeny bopper thing. You capture it here. I have learned never to dismiss a song just because someone dismiss it, too. I had no idea how beloved I PLAY C would become. And thank you for listening commenting on my Shorts.

Nice song. Like the stop up at 2:00. Pretty intense. I’m laughing a bit about the name ‘lament ‘which obviously was supposed to be ‘the practical gardener’. That sounds familiar with my stuff too., lol. 15 years can put a new perspective on almost anything. Cheers.

Jan 17 2015 - Remixed. I was always kinda disappointed with what the original mix sounded like. Listening to it the other day I realised what it is - I'd mixed the vocals too loud. This reduced the "stereo" and killed off a lot of the life…
This one is called "Chance"...
One Guitar and one Vox...

Lyrics
Throw another log on the fire.
Let it Burn for one more day..
Take another chance on this Dice.
Throw it until luck comes our way.
Promise…
I got me a new Cajon.
This is the first time recorded it (or played it for more than 30 seconds to be honest. My son keeps telling me to be quiet, then jumps on to it himself... ).
Thank you G man for Playing guitar on this. Luv ya bro…
This is me live....
No frills....
I Play a classical because my fingers are too big... Lol!!
Sorry if it is a bit rough...

Do you know T? I think this is the first live recording of yours I've ever listened to.
You cut it live just as well. Great song too.
lol at the compere at the end - "get off you f*cker there's more important folks here... can you wipe the mic down boys?"
It's years since I've done it, but I remembers :-)
Nine cans of Guinness....
One beaten up old Guitar.....
An MBR....
A Great night out...
Then Some time time my self...
This is the result...

An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
Did the world really need a cheesy, spaghetti western version of this classic Eagles song? I'm not sure. Did I make one anyway? Yes. Yes, I did. By the way the painting is "Villa Diablo" by Downe Burns.

Brilliant!
We definitely needed this version.
I suspect that even Ian Anderson would like this take on the chords he "lent" them Eagles chappies... lol
Faved, no problem :-)
This started up while I was commenting something else... initially I was going to stop it, but something dragged me in... I was over halfway through before I realised I'd stopped typing!
Nice one, well worth a listen... it kept my attention all the way.
(I do hope I actually pressed send on the other comment - I keep forgetting to when this happens!)
Vocals: Rebecca Riss
Lyrics: Donna Devine
Drums & Horns: Ian Burrage
Bass: Andy Gupta
Piano: Steffen Offermann
Guitars: Mike Woodford
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann
I think this was the first song that Donna and I collaborated…
Like it. I think you're right on the mix though. I'm guessing you're quite attached to the sound of the band, but could seat the vocal a lot better now.
Some stunning - and extremely musical - guitar work on this one, like it.
I often get bored with guitar instrumentals like this - NOT THIS ONE
Yeah, pretty dang cool... good stuff :-)
This is an older song and hey, you'll finally get to hear me sing badly! This was under my old name Piscean Dream so I couple of you may or may not have heard this before. Thanks for listening!
I thought I'd commented this (and others)... I'm obviously not awake yet !
Really glad you've joined up, loving your stuff.
Are those real drums? You play drums as well??!!

I'm not superstitious, but ... I did not want to end the day with 13 uploaded songs. :D

Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
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.
Oh man, Andy, will you stop breaking my heart?!
It's so warm, the music reminds me of Elton John's recordings.
Very emotional song, loved the fuzz guitar and solos!
I'll try again. lost the comment. I said, I love the clean guitar and vocal. Why don't we ask more questions. We make such lousy assumptions. Sometimes e find out too late.
Great clean guitar and vocal. How oblivious we can be. We make assumptions. Why don't we ask more questions?

"I want you to be happy I long for you to be free..." That scares me. It sounds like, "Goodbye." Love the clean guitar sound.
Love how you g from the simple to the huge...great guitars. And the lyric, so intense.
Yes angular ,like the twist of it
How did I miss this ....superb!! 10 out of 10 sir ...
this is really moody and really well produced. dark and and Pink Floyd vibes.
Nice song. Like the stop up at 2:00. Pretty intense. I’m laughing a bit about the name ‘lament ‘which obviously was supposed to be ‘the practical gardener’. That sounds familiar with my stuff too., lol. 15 years can put a new perspective on almost anything. Cheers.
Very Cool Song my Friend. G
How fucking great is this! I'm hitting the bicycle right now. In the head while riding will be Aha aha ah ah ah ah ah ah aha aha aha
Crikey this is good!
Wow, love your sound....I downloaded a couple so I can listen as I have time driving and running....from Amazing ....
7:11 am in Cali. . Happy As Fuck! Great sense of order. I'll be taking a shot of vodka now!
Super track - 70s feel and I get echoes of Family and Alex Harvey here....!
I really like this track Andrew..... another right up my alley! Great production and that prog rock style that I love....

Ah... glad this one is here :-)
I was sure I'd commented this one... anyway, back for another go. Love it.
Yo T :-) I remember you talking about the project, but I don't remember hearing this. Fantastic project, but a cool piece of music anyway.
This is mighty fine.

Oh yeah, this is a bit special.
Love the feel of this. And yeah, there's nothing bad about the voice :-) Just keep using it...

Woo! Great voice, and I like where you go with your melodies.
Love it.
Among other things, your tracks are making me think of The Doors - no bad thing in my book. Like what you're doing.
Tom Baker for me! Hi there 64! Could've been a bit longer mebbe :-)
Ah! Another Tricia Dovidio vocal - yesss... Got any more? :-) Love the organ... but I'm a sucker for a hammondy tone
