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.

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…

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.

And this is the last of the little threesome of In Your Hands, Little Thing, and this one, When I Try To Be Me.
It's in the key of 4th fret and was written just over a month later than the other two, on 19th March…

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.

Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009.
I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in.
The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…

THIS is the song that Mrs R and I had decided was a suitable response to a request to "Upload something HAPPY, stat!!!!!!!!!"

A tale of keeping your head above the water, or not...
Recorded Jan-Feb 2011.
I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it.
I intended to record this with just an acoustic and my new EDB (electric upright bass…

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…
If a hurricane drives you inland
If an avalanche leads to palm trees
If a car crash saves you from burning
It wasn't meant to be
Someone's absеnce brings you peace (Brings you peace)
Then you haven't lost anything (Lost anything)
And…
We were young, we were wild, chasing dreams without a plan,
Laughing loud, staying up, writing stories in the sand.
Time moved on, like the waves, washing footprints out to sea,
But somehow, through the distance, you were always there for me…
Song 9# for my 2025 RPM Challenge. The finishing line is near. I wrote this song last night - it emerged out of the burning heart ache I've experienced since the death of my beloved 13 year old dog Maxwell (died last May) - my love for him is…
Demo for FAWM ’25. Never underestimate my ability to take a bad pun more seriously than it probably deserves.

A late-night cry for attention.
Cryptic emoji fill my screen.
I take a cue to head on over,
As close as I'll get to certainty…
Song 8 for my 2025 RPM Challenge. Experimented with my very old Bass...that doesn't keep its tune very well! Onward I say. Thanks for anyone out there who listens - much appreciated xoox

Reg is just turning himself inside out
Inside out
Everything seems inside out
My guess is thats what its all about
No body knows, how I feel
Everythings hidden, no one, has a clue
No one knows how I…

Song #7 for my 2025 RPM Challenge. Another one with my Juno Synth as the main player. It ended up being much longer than intended (but it fits with the title...). I call it a Peter Griffin ending (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4X8HsEj7d4…
We like ... (Mrs R listening too) ... This, like Almost Felt Like Dancing earlier, throws me right back into being the "university student me" in the early 80s - I can almost taste it. Very cool track.
Another Rpm Reg is still sad ......
A sad song
I’m going to sing you a song
It won’t take long
The story is sad
But the story isn’t long
I’ll begin the song
About a woman who’s dead
Died in her sleep
alone in her bed…

Song #6 for my 2025 RPM Challenge. This one is sort of a dance (anti-dance) song. Composed mostly using my Juno Synth. It took ages to put together oddly. Thanks to anyone who dares to listen!

And you…
Song 5 for my RPM Challenge (the half way mark!). Decided to use my Juno synthesizer for this one - I love that thing. Did this yesterday after a nice winter hike. Thank you to anyone out there who listens - much appreciated xoxo

Song 4 for my RPM 2025. I wrote and recorded it after dinner tonight. This time, I picked up the lovely Martin and strummed away. Another opportunity for some harmonizing. Thanks again for listening!
Please don’t pack it in
Please no never…
3rd Song for my RPM challenge. Went back to my piano and kept it minimal. I love singing harmonies (grew up listening to CSNY). Thanks to anyone who listens xox
Did you get lost in the sea

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....

Back for more... wowsers... Mrs R likes it too
I'm probably going to like ALL your stuff!! Cool songs and fabulous recordings.
Wow!
Oh yum... just .... YUM. Love it.
Same with this one. You've even got me checking out Microfreak online!
Wasn't expecting to like it when it started... but it's strangely hypnotic and likable
Bad pun or not... I saw the title and it made me click! Cool track. Yeah that works for me
Yeah.... like it.... second listen- love it!
I've just been trying to explain Reg to Mrs R... decided I can't do it as well as he does himself.
Yeah, I subscribe to that way of thinking! Thumbs up from Mrs R too.
Love the feel of this. Cool vocal.
We like ... (Mrs R listening too) ... This, like Almost Felt Like Dancing earlier, throws me right back into being the "university student me" in the early 80s - I can almost taste it. Very cool track.
A truly happy ending!!
Loving these.... I'm hearing the ghost of Alex Harvey trying to break through here... probably my imagination.
It's good to hear old Reg again. I was gonna say "will he ever be happy?" ... and then I read the blurb lol
That works!! Pretty much nailed it. And it's got me into the mood to listen to the early Bob Dylan albums again.
Yeah.... like it... takes me back to the 80s!
Oh yes indeed. Love this.
Missed this one! Nice :)
I love that "I don’t think that this Jar is enough" line, and how you sing the "You Maybe mine for a while". Cool harmonies as well.
