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.

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!!!!!!!!!"
I tried to record it back in 2013 when I wrote it…
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…
This is a piece inspired by J.D. Salinger's short story.
My friend Stasya's doing the vocal parts.

Thought I'd have a go at a soul number. FDR did some lead but the song was left all alone on my comp until today when I landed on it's lyrics while driving home. Thought I'd have a plumb at auditioning for the 3rd Reg, lol.

A tune for Halloween.
I wanted to do something creepy. It works.
All Alone
I turn your knob
and throw Spot a bone
I palm your panties
when your not home
I turn the lights off
and cut your phone
I feel your fears
when you all…
Aww, this is mighty fine.
You're tempting me away from the multi-track things I'm stuck on at the moment... mebbe I should try some 1 guitar 1 voice stuff again.
Two walkie talkies
Pull over the cops
Paid our monthly fees
Then the money stops
Tiny makeshift farm
Cabbage, turnip greens
Germans built this barn
Fit for royalty
Tumble in the weeds
Hummingbirds and frogs
Naked bumblebees
Multi-coloured…

I can never think of something "meaningful" to say about stuff I don't quite understand...
This kind of falls into that category

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?
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.
"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.

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....
Comments made by Andrew Russe
Like it.
I can't play a 4 minute solo FORWARDS and make it sound coherent, let alone backwards!! You seem to have managed it :)
Do more vocals!
Good, extremely good :)
Oh yes... a masterpiece!
Enjoyed it :)
Cool version
Ha ha! Excellent guys
Oh yes, both rock AND roll.
This kinda crept up on me while I was listening to it in the background. Nice one.
Remix? Sounds even better than 1st listen the other day...
Aww, this is mighty fine. You're tempting me away from the multi-track things I'm stuck on at the moment... mebbe I should try some 1 guitar 1 voice stuff again.
Lovin this EP Superb stuff.

Crumbs, I'm gonna have to listen to more of your stuff. I love how you fling tortured guitars at it and it just works.
Wooo! This works - like it. Some tasty guitar playing.
Yep. This is the business.
Oh my goodness! YES!
Oh yes. Very tasty.
Love it!
