And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.

Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.
I'd actually settled down to finally record a…
A new one...
I wrote it on 5th February, and managed to record it in less than a month (a head-cold and lack of hearing in one ear slowed the last lap somewhat).
But seeing as the last one took over 8 months, I think I'm already ahead for…

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…
Do love a golden oldie, great song, as I record on a Boss, we love Mr. Boss : ) And yes could be on any Family album ..... are you sure you're not Roger .....

A song I wrote in May this year!
I tried to not make the layering too intense in this... hopefully I achieved that lol?
I think the mix has gone a bit weird at the beginning?? sorry about that... might go back and change it at some point in…
Here's another original song that I wrote this year!
I may have gone a little insane with the layering in this one... but I kinda like it so I won't apologise for it lol
Lyrics:
You can take your time, I'll wait for you
Suppose that's all…
Playing with my new Zoom B1X effects processor. Synthesized drums are from the B1X. Bassline is a panicky one I like to play. The guitar part I just came up with. Altogether I think I like it -- anyway it gets my pulse up!
Well, it's a work…
A short 2-track guitar tune. I was trying to get that feeling of going out in public after lockdowns are all over. Sort of a combination of relaxing and frantic, I guess?
OK, so just in the spirit of the season (!) here's a playfully spooky little creation.....maybe imagine all those skeletons dancing around the place!!! I should maybe pay some homage to Tim Burton/John Williams here...?
:) I thought I'd commented on this one too... (been distracted by Mrs R's latest Christmas film choice ... it's not even December yet!!! It's got Dolly in, though... interestingly she looked older in 1996 than she does now!!) ... Anyways, yes, I like the insistent rhythm driving it on.
Oh yes, like it. And I agree with thetworegs - it does evoke some Christmas vibes (this maybe something to do with the fact my wife is binge-watching Christmas films on amazon prime and I can't really get away from it!!)
It is said that the Valley of the Kings is understandably a haunted and sacred place...hence the start and end of this composition, being no. 7 in the Fusion Soundscapes project....and hopefully evoking a sense of awe and majesty walking in the…
DIRTY LAUNDRY Key C
I got a call from Russell. He had to move his junk
He’d filled his car. He’d filled his trunk
Big black bags of something. I said, “What’s with these?”
He said, “It’s dirty laundry.” I said, “That’s crazy.”
So, he…
HOME
(Am D) or (F C)
VERSE 1.
Where the (G) windmill sings to the mocking bird
And the (CM7) prairie wind, without a word
(Am) Whispers thru tall (D) grass, I’ll be (G) home
(F C G) or (Am D)
VERSE 2.
Where the butter cups and…
I’ve seen you crash back down into the ash
Like an inverted Phoenix
So delectable yet totally ineffectual
Those intellectual verbal tricks
I’ve tried to save ya from your bad behaviour
And keep you safe within the mix
I’ve been here to…
So, what do you think... could it use more wah-wah?
This was written for the 2014 RPM Challenge. The chromatic thing at the beginning had been rattling around in my head for years and years but had never found a home.
The lyrics here…
And that "yeah" - it sounds like an expression of "NAILED it" at the end of a take... and I shall take it as that. But it could so easily be what I tend to capture a lot: a response to a call of "dinner's ready, I've called you three times already" lol
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Huge and mighty, as usual, Mr Russe. (Poor Edith, happy or not, I do wish she was getting something like a hotdog or a gun.)
@Jane So dead puppies and 3-In-One in the knicker drawer is ok then? LOL
You can't do that to kittens! :o Other than that - magnificence :)
wow!!!! Your voice is just epic!!! I love the pacing of this song. It makes me want to know all the backstory about Edith. An instant fav...
Love the slide! What a great song. No one warns us that vowel sounds matter when writing lyrics, but you nailed it.
Brilliant ...
So very cool. Not my place, but I wish the outro was also the intro. I like what I like. I liked that very much.
Really really good. I thank you.
Great song perfectly executed.
Dig it right from the first note cool work on the slide you know how to write to song :-) KC
Wow! Fantastic work - Loving the bass work 👏
THAT SLIDE IS TO DIE FOR, CRY FOR OH MY. Brass on strings my fav
Cool song, great slide work!
Great track!
Wonderful medley of tones weaving in and out. Love it! That slide is captivating.
Oh yes Andrew .... Epic ..... Dark ..... Love it.
That’s a real energetic Edith at the beginning of the verse she certainly gets it ...loving it ....nice solo ....
Do love a golden oldie, great song, as I record on a Boss, we love Mr. Boss : ) And yes could be on any Family album ..... are you sure you're not Roger .....
Another quality recording from the broom cupboard
Excellent writing. The key modulation grabs me in that sweet spot

Kinda spooky ... I like what you're doing with this one.
Oh my goodness. This is such a powerful song.
I did miss this one. Glad I found it now. It's a stunning song.
Oh wow. It was fine without Ray's additions... but with... it's just WOWSERS good.
This is mighty fine. Any good? Yep, it certainly is.
Dear oh dear oh dear ... lol
Yep, raised my pulse too. Nice one.
And this is mighty fine playing.
Every now and then I'm struck with "One day I'll get a mandolin..." and noodles like this encourage that.
Love it.
Oh yes. Love this one.

Wow, that works, wasn't expecting it to at all, but it does, big time. Nice one.

Yep, that works. Majestic stuff.
Yep :)
I'll comment on this one :) ... mighty fine song.
Short and sweet!
Wow. Gorgeous sounds.
